As an affiliate marketer you should constantly hunt for the niche market that can give you the highest pay check. Yet, keep in mind that picking the “right” product is not enough to be lucrative in this career. You must have an affiliate marketing plan founded on proven results and, every day, you should be working on refining it.
Here, you will find 8 essential affiliate marketing tips that you should keep an eye on in order to be successful as an affiliate marketer:
1. Always promote products on a dedicated and unique affiliate page. Do not lump all your marketing content together just to save money on web hosting. Even better, have an affiliate page that focuses one single product and nothing more.
2. Always include product reviews on your website so visitors will have a critical appreciation on what the product can do for them. Remember to include genuine testimonials from consumers who have already tried the product. Make sure that these customers allow you to publicly show their names and photographs.
3. Make each affiliate page of your site compelling and always include “calls to action” (e.g., “buy now!”) in the content. Each headline should attract the readers to read more or even contact you. Highlight those areas of the content that you think particularly describe what the benefits for your customers are. This will help your visitors learn what the page is really about and will make them want to find out more about your product.
4. Offer free reports to your readers in exchange for their email address. If you can, place the “optin box” at the top right of your affiliate page. This will give the visitor a preview of the value you have to offer and will allow you build your own private list of potential customers to contact at any time.
5. Include compelling subject lines in the email. On the other hand, avoid using the word “free”. This will reduce the chance that your email gets caught by SPAM filters and automatically dumped into the “junk mail” box. Your focus must be convincing those who signed up for your free report that they will be missing something really huge if they do not avail of your products and services.
6. Get “laser” targeted traffic to your affiliate page. Consider this, if the person who is browsing through your web page has no interest at all in what you are offering, he/she will leave your site and never come back again. Spend enough time in your keyword research and your affiliate page will be visited only by those who are searching for your particular product.
7. Try to write a minimum of 2 articles per week. This has been shown to generate as many as 100 targeted readers to your web site in a single day. The amount of backlinks that you’ll accumulate will also contribute to increase the rank of your web site. This, needless to say, will slowly but surely step up web traffic to your affiliate page.
8. Always remember that only 1 out of 100 people are likely to purchase your product or services. If you can generate as much as 1,000 targeted hits for your website in a day, you are likely to make 10 sales/day. Quite simple.
I hope these short affiliate marketing tips will help your business thrive in the shortest time possible. If you are new to internet marketing, take your time, everything will start making sense very soon.
Good luck!
