Here Is an Unbeatable Strategy for Affiliate Marketing

ByMichael Cervantes

If you had a choice, would you rather have only one opportunity to make an affiliate commission, or would you like multiple chances to persuade your potential customer to make a purchase through your affiliate links? I'm sure you'll agree with me that the answer to that question is pretty simple.

All other things being equal, it's much better to have multiple sales opportunities. You see, when most people promote affiliate products they do so by creating a simple blog or other kind of website that has a few articles related to the niche. Alternatively, they may decide to create a page on a third-party website instead of posting to their own website, but the overall strategy would be the same.

In any case, they simply put some relevant articles onto the web and then insert an affiliate link so they can try to make some commissions. The problem with this model is that most visitors who click on the affiliate link do not end up making a purchase, and these visitors will unfortunately be gone forever.

A far, far better strategy for building a long-term and highly successful business in affiliate marketing is to create an e-mail list. Your first priority as an affiliate marketer (especially for promoting information products) should be to build a solid subscriber list. You can get people to join your list by offering them a free download (usually a short report or e-book that has valuable information about the niche).

You would then simply deliver highly valuable content on a regular basis through an e-mail newsletter. You can then make simple recommendations for affiliate products (and perhaps eventually your products as well). Just make sure to recommend products that you truly believe will be helpful for your customers.

This simple but powerful strategy allows you to accomplish much more than you could ever do without an e-mail list. First of all, your subscribers will see an affiliate offer multiple times, so they will be more likely to purchase that particular product. In addition, you can build credibility over time and make multiple recommendations, and because your subscribers have come to trust you they may eventually buy multiple products from the affiliate links.

Last, but certainly not least, this credibility can eventually lead you to create your own information products in addition to promoting affiliate products. That subscriber list will help you get started in promoting your own products because you have established credibility and given them great content over time.

Affiliate Marketing: A Good Place To Start for Beginners

Affiliate Marketing is a great entry point for new starters into the internet information marketing world. You can run this from home, part-time, in your spare time. One of the main benefits is that you don't have to buy or create a product. The Merchant who owns the product you choose to promote will also supply you with plenty of free marketing tools. The start-up costs are minimal and inexpensive as all you will need to buy is an appropriate domain name and some web hosting. You will need a website, usually in the form of a blog, but don't panic as WordPress and Blogger are both free resources and are easy to set up. Now, those who know me will tell you I'm no technical expert but in my early marketing days I was able to follow the instructions, without asking for help, on both of the blog sites to put together my niche sites and I still use them today. When looking for a product to promote choose something that interests you or something you have knowledge of as th...

How To Set Up A Successful Pay-Per-Click Campaign

If you are familiar with Pay-Per-Click ads, then you know that these types of paid search marketing work by putting ads on the side bar of your search engine or web site and are used to bring people to your web site. The concept is pretty simple. You create an ad.You place a price upon its worth.And you submit it to a search engine. When someone clicks on that ad, you are charged a price for it and they end up on your web site. You only have to pay if someone clicks on it. Sounds pretty simple, doesn't it? But now for the tricky question. Are you getting your money's worth from these ads? Ninety-nine percent of the businesses that use this type of advertising do not understand it. They send people to their home page and don't even know why the person came there in the first place.
