Many people dream about running a business from their own home and gaining the substantial amount of freedom a home based business will provide. One of the best ways to achieve this dream is through affiliate marketing. It is very easy to get into the affiliate marketing business. In fact you can start with just one hour of work per day in your spare time. Unfortunately it is so easy to get into the affiliate marketing business that there are a lot of affiliate marketers out there making competition fierce. It is crucial that you find ways to make yourself stand out from the crowd. What will you do to make a consumer click on your link and purchase from you instead of the next guy?
One of the things you must master is the art of making a great squeeze page. Your squeeze page is where the customers go when they click on your links. This is your one opportunity to really pre sell your prospects and make them want to buy your affiliate products. Unfortunately consumers have seen so many squeeze pages they are becoming immune to them. It is important that you make a unique squeeze page that will add value to the consumer’s internet browsing experience.
There are two things you can do that will really make your squeeze page, also known as a landing page, stand out from the crowd. The first thing you should do is turn your landing page into a review of the product you are promoting. Consumer’s love reviews. A good review page will reduce consumer skepticism and increase the likelihood of them making a purchase. Try to make your review as objective as possible and include one or two potential downsides of the product you are promoting. If your review just talks about how wonderful the product is the consumer will not believe it. An honest review will always perform better than a glowing review that is an obvious sales pitch.
Keep in mind the purpose of your landing page is not to sell the product. Leave that up to the product maker’s site. What your squeeze page should do is go for the soft sell. You want to soften the consumer up to the hard sell that they will see when they click through to the product’s actual sales page. As I mentioned before a review site is an excellent way to do this because it will gain the consumer’s trust and make them feel that you are adding value to their experience. Another good way to soft sell the consumer is by giving them a free product for opting into your mailing list. Once they have opted in you can continue to soft sell to them on a regular basis. This is a method that savvy marketers constantly use in their affiliate marketing efforts to capture consumers who are not willing to purchase a product the first time that that they see it.
The real trick to becoming an affiliate marketing success story is to keep working and learning more about the internet marketing process and developing and testing new techniques. As long as you are willing to put in the necessary work you are almost guaranteed to develop a nice affiliate marketing income stream.
