My Top 3 Affiliate Marketing Tips

Monday, February 8th, 2010

What I am about to reveal will probably not make some fellow gurus happy, but this needs to be said:

- No matter what they say about affiliate marketing, it’s virtually impossible for everyone to get those 5,000 – 10,000 dollars a month they are raving on about. The reason? There is simply too much competition! However my fellow gurus are correct on one point: No money will fall into your hands if you are not doing anything to get it there…

I decided to help you get started in the right state of mind, by giving you these high level tips below, that will help you make some money with the different kinds of affiliate marketing programs you can find on the internet.

1. Google Adwords

Some say the days of free traffic are over, but there are still some traffic coming that way, however those hits are surely fading away quickly. You can choose to work hard creating web pages that rank well in the search engines, but still – it’s very hard to do. If you still feel like trying, there are lots of Search Engine Optimization Guides available for you to download, both paid and free.

Simply by paying for clicks with Google (it’s called the Adwords program), you can get the top three positions on the search engines that matter the most – in a matter of minutes. It may come as no surprise to you that there are lots of guides available on how to optimize your google adwords campaigns as well! Did you know that the “engine” that drives some of the traffic is called Adsense? The adsense program allows website owners to put ads on their sites, and when the ads are clicked – the site owner just made some cents online. Most Google Adwords Guides recommend turning off that part of the campaign, due to the click fraud involved, which will give you bad quality, non converting traffic.

2. Your own email list

Building an email list of subscribers is hard, but doable. The task of sending offers to your very own email list is the ideal way to build a residual income online. Instead of sending traffic away and hoping for the best, the best alternative for you (in my opinion) is having your own email list to which you will be able to send multiple offers on periodic intervals. There are lots of autoresponder services that you can subscribe to, and if you feel like having total control, there are several Autoresponder Scripts available for purchase as well.

3. Having Your own affiliate program

Did you know that the gurus are aware of the fact that every visitor that fills out form on your site can generate 50 cent in revenue? What about if you pay someone 25 cents (50% commission) to generate that same amount of traffic, that you would otherwise pay Google to get?

This is the secret most newbies don’t know (and that the gurus don’t want you to know about): Let others generate the traffic you need to make some sales! There are a lot of advantages using this approach, including the fact that now others pay Google to get the traffic for you.

Final Words:

Yes, when it all comes down to it, everything involves paying for traffic in one way or the other. Just remember – in order to make the online income you dream about, you’ll need to invest very wisely in the different kinds of advertising available to you.

To Your Success,

How To Succeed As An Online Affiliate Marketer?

Sunday, January 17th, 2010

Becoming an affiliate and selling affiliate merchandise could be one of the simplest methods of earning money online today. You only need someone else’s product or service to start earning cash – not necessarily your own. Most of the products you can promote end up paying you more than the person who created it in affiliate marketing. These are some great tips to help you get going.

The absolute vital thing necessary to do is locating an item for promoting, and several of these exist. Because there is a vast number of affiliate products you can choose from, I won’t go into too much depth in this section. Check around ClickBank or simply enter the area that intrigues you and finish the search with “affiliate program” to find out what additional offers exist.

Actually though you may obtain success with practically every program available as long as you put in the promotion work necessary and comprehend what’s needed to make traffic get to your site. Yeah, I definitely recommend purchasing an individual domain name and getting your site hosted by a trustworthy and well known company. I can manage all my websites with HostGator for only $10 a month.

The next step is to set a website up that will sell your products to your viewers. This can be accomplished in several ways, and you will want to try a few to find the mos effective for your particular product.

To capture visitor’s names and email addresses with certain products or services its best to set up an auto responder. This will let you market them for long after they’ve been to the website and it’s a fantastic method for converting browsers into purchasers. Offer to send bonuses and free information to your viewers’ email addresses somewhere near the top of the page.

Many affiliate programs include training and tools to aid in promoting and selling their products. They desire for you to achieve success since your success equals theirs too. Take well advantage of these as they will usually offer pre-written sales messages to deliver to your subscribers, banners to paste on your websites,, affiliate marketing and even graphics or web templates to use.

It’s always best though to be as unique as possible, include plenty of relevant and helpful information as your main content. The greater amount of individuality you have, and the more you provider, the greater opportunity for earning a profit you’ll have using affiliate programs on the Internet.
