10 Affiliate Marketing Tips:
Affiliate Marketing is one of the most common ways that income is earned online.
Affiliate marketing Tips
All Internet Marketers will be using affiliate marketing for at least a percentage of their income! Many top Marketers attribute up to 60% of their total income to Affiliate Marketing.
It does’t matter what Niche or Methods you use in your business, there will be a time that you promote someone else’s product or service, to earn commissions.
My top 10 Affiliate Marketing Tips are:
1. Build a Relationship with your Followers and Subscribers
For people to trust and be willing to buy from you, you need to let them get to know that you are a real person, working like them at this Affiliate Marketing business, and facing many of the same problems they are facing.
The more you have them relate to you and your life, the easier it is for them to follow your recommendations and click those links and Buy Buttons.
Include some personal aspects in your writing, and allow your readers and subscribers to get to know you.
2. Stay Relevant
When promoting via a link in a blog post, make sure the post, and product you are promoting are relevant to the niche topic of your blog.
Same goes for email promos to your lists, if your subscribers signed up for information about List Building, don’t promote a Dog Wash Service to them. OK… maybe that example is a bit extreme, but you get where I’m going with this!
3. Keep the Good Content Coming!
I believe that Marketing Blogs and Email Lists should be monetized from the get go.
But it’s not all about the monetization, it is extremely important that you feed your subscribers and followers with good valuable and helpful information, relevant to your niche.
People will soon get sick and tired, if everything they get from you is all about promotions.
If your content is good, fresh and relevant to why people followed you in the first place, they will keep on following you.
4. Select your Affiliate Offers Carefully
Get to know your readers and what their needs are. Run surveys in your email campaigns or on your Blog. See what they are commenting on in FaceBook and on your Blog.
Find out what their problems are, what they are finding difficult to achieve, and offer them products or services that are solutions to these problems.
A successful Affiliate Marketer will be one who Knows what their readers need, and provides solutions to those needs.
5. Look for products with Recurring Income Attached:
You need to actively look for or create products that include a membership site, or similar, with a monthly or maybe yearly recurring fee.
Who knows when Google or FaceBook, or something else in your marketing arsenal, has changes or creates problems, or your market just becomes slow.
If you plan for these issues by having some form of regular income, you will be far better prepared for those times.
My aim is to always have sufficient ongoing recurring income to pay my regular bills and expenses, so the one-off sales are the cream on top.
6. Promote What You Use Yourself!
Think about all the tools and resources you use everyday in your own business. What better products and services could you find to offer your readers?
You are living testament to those products and services, and selling them will be easy because you already know all the features and benefits, and can answer any questions that may arise.
A very good way to offer this is via a Resources page on your blog.
7. Offer Your Own Bonuses!
Most product owners offer bonuses with their products these days.
But, everyone promoting that product has the same advantage of these bonuses.
To make your offer even more enticing, have your own additional bonuses of related products or services, adding more value for your customers.
By making your offer unique and better perceived value, you will improve your conversions and keep your customers coming back to you!
An absolutely quick and easy way to do this is with a service like Commission Gorilla!
With Commission Gorilla you can very quickly set up a unique Bonus Pages to send your clicks to. It even creates the Bonuses Download Page at the same time.
8. Always be Helpful!
Make it easy for your readers to contact you with questions.
There are always people who need to ask for more info, before they click your Buy Button. When you respond to them, it’s a good idea to give them more than they ask for. More added value to improve Your conversions!
9. Write Content That Isn’t Time Restricted
Write your Posts, Articles, and Scheduled Emails without references to Seasons, Holidays, etc.
As you can’t predict when people are going to be reading these items, using ‘timeless’ content is very important.
10. Promote Products at Various Price Levels
This also come back to selecting the Affiliate Marketing products and services wisely. You need a lot of sales for a $7 product just to cover your time and expenses.
Find products that have different price levels, and products with a couple backend offers at different prices.
I usually look for a low priced front end, then an OTO at a higher price, then a monthly recurring Membership offer.
If you follow these Affiliate Marketing Tips, you will be doing better than a large percentage of would be Affiliate Marketers out there.
