Seven Affiliate Marketing Tips for Increased Commissions

2007-06-09T03:38:00.001-07:00

Affiliate marketing is exploding on the Internet.

It doesn't look like it's going to stop any time soon. And for good reason. Affiliate marketing is the quickest way to get started with a home based online business. But, while it's the quickest, it can also be the most demanding.

Again, for good reason. Because there are so many people involved with affiliate marketing today there is a lot more competition for web site visitors. But, anyone can create an incredible online business with affiliate programs if they follow seven simple affiliate marketing tips

Affiliate tip #1 Preselling must be your top priority

When a new client comes to me for help with advertising the products they are affiliated with, I begin with this first tip everytime. This is where everything else begins. Preselling is basically "warming up" your visitor to click to the merchant site and want to buy something.

This must be your top priority.

For example, let's say you have a great auto accessory site that has a bunch of links to several car part merchants where you make a pretty good commission for every sale made through your affiliate links. You receive ok traffic from Adwords, ezine ads, link exchanges, etc., but not really a lot of sales. Sound familiar?

The problem with this type of "put up the links and wait" approach is that you are wasting, and losing, a ton of money. Those people that are visiting your site are leaving, without buying, and probably not coming back. Unless you spend more money on advertising to get them there.

Preselling takes the initiative in providing the site visitor what they want. After all, that's why they visited your site in the first place. To find something they want.

Ken Evoy has written "the" resource on preselling called, "Make Your Content Presell" (http://mycps.sitesell.com/glimmersales.html) that provides you with all the step by step information you'll ever need to tackle preselling.

Affiliate Tip #2 An ezine follows on the heals of preselling

Preselling is the top priority of any affiliate business, but having a weekly or monthly ezine is immediately behind it.

An ezine is your way to keep in touch with the website visitors that have taken an interest in your site, but haven't made the decision to buy yet. This helps you build a stronger relationship with them by continuing to show them that you are the place to find relevant information.

Affiliate marketing depends on low cost advertising strategies to keep it profitable. A weekly newsletter is the ultimate in keeping costs low.

Affiliate Tip #3 Be a content provider

This tip is a result of the first two. Affiliate marketing riches is built on content. Putting up banners and a ton of links on a page just doesn't work anymore. Google Adsense has really made the fact that content is the most important advertising strategy really stand out.

Your daily tasks should be centered on the thought of content. Articles, product reviews, interviews, how-to's, short manuals, ebooks, free reports, and the list goes on and on. Take these articles, reviews, and how-to's and syndicate them everywhere you can find withing your particular niche (topic).

And not just any type of content. Relevant, up to date, and informative content.

Let's use the car accessory example again. Each page should center in on one different topic to presell one different item or multiple items that are very closely related. Several how-to articles on how to install different accessories and reviews on separate types of seat covers, car stereos, tires, bolt-ons... whatever, should dominate those pages.

This means that people will be finding what they are looking for... content. That makes them happy, which in turn creates buyers.

Affiiate Tip #4 Link up with others

A byproduct of all the content you will be providing on a consistent basis is that other people will love to link with you. This is something you, as an affiliate wanting to keep costs low, will want to be aggressive with. It's a win-win situation for them and you.

Search engines love content, thus will rank you higher. Other potential linking partners, within your niche (topic) will want to be a part of that. This does two things...

From the view point of your site visitor, it shows you as the "expert" because other people are linking to you, and

you also receive traffic from the sites you link to that wouldn't have found you any other way.

Win-win. A great way to find linking partners is with Phil Tanney's free service Links-for-you (http://www.links-for-you). They deliver willing link partners to you without you having to search for them.

Affilite tips #5 Multiply yourself

Now that you have started one site dealing with a specific topic, do it again. And again. And again. And, well you get the picture. Why do this?

One of my clients recently signed up for my Power Niche Package (http://www.guaranteed-ads.com/nichepackage.html) wanted to know why I provide content for a full year. I told them because they just can't stop with one site to be successful.

Basically, affiliate marketing is a numbers game. The more traffic coming to multiple websites, full of preselling content, means successful marketing. To take advantage of the highest number of traffic, you need to set up multiple web sites on different niches.

Affiliate tip #6 Be creative and test

I love being creative, taking a risk, doing something different than everyone else. That means that my affiliate sites never get stale. And I test everything to see what works and what doesn't.

Success can be as simple as where you put your Adsense ad block on your site. Recently people have been experimenting with putting graphics directly above the small blocks. Income from these ads went way up. It worked.

I, myself, like Affiliate Sensor (http://www.affiliatesensor.com/?u=glimmers2) as an alternative to Adsense. I tested it out on a few different high traffic sites to see what would bring in better income. One site with Affiliate Sensor, the other with Adsense.

It was split. One site, a golf site, performed much better with Affiliate Sensor and the other, a home audio site, had greater response with the Adsense ads. Diversity makes for a healthy, growing, and profitable business.

Be creative with your content also. Test to see which page headings work best, which products people are clicking on the most, where to place our affiliate links within the content, and whether graphic ads or text ads work best.

Don't get stale.

Affiliate tip #7 Always be re-evaluating

Affiliate marketing is powerful, if you stay on top of it. You should never stop researching the "hottest" markets, what people are looking for, what kind of information do people need.

Again, for example, with the car accessory site, you should be always on the lookout for new merchants, new products, and products are selling now. What time of year is it? Winter would bring different needs for content. What turbo boost are people looking for the most? This stuff changes all the time and the successful affiliate has content ready almost immediately.

Affiliate marketing is an awesome way to get started with an online business. You can even make it your only online business, many people do just that. But, it takes passion, determination, and following these seven tips.

Profiting With Affiliate Programs

2007-06-03T18:00:00.000-07:00

One of the main reasons more people are not making money on the Internet is that they don't have a product or service they can market. Most people find it too difficult to develop a product, promote it with a website, and create a marketing plan to get it front of the right people. Most do not have the knowledge or expertise to even get started and are frustrated before they even begin. Does this sound like you? It was for me until I discovered affiliate programs.

Affiliate programs work like a joint venture where you partner with someone who has already developed a product, created a marketing plan and are promoting it with a website. Most affiliate programs will provide you with a product you can market, free website promotion tools, and free training to show you how to promote the program. You drive traffic to the website and they will process and fill the order, handle customer service, collect payments and handle returns. You keep as much as 50% of the profits for your efforts. It's a great way to start earning money right away!

Where can you find a good affiliate program? You will find thousands of opportunities using an internet search under "affiliate programs". Many of the websites you are visiting now may already have an excellent affiliate program established. You can join it and make money in an area that you enjoy or already have expertise in. The best site I have found for affiliate programs is clickbank.com. This site lists hundreds of successful affiliate programs people are using to make money with today.

Now I am going to let you in on a secret that can explode your affiliate marketing profits. Capture the email addresses of those interested in the affiliate program you are trying to promote. Why? You will develop your own opt in mailing list that you can send repeated emails to capture additional sales. You can also market other products and services to this list once it is developed. You will create an asset that can be used over and over again, multiplying your online income!

Promoting affiliate programs is an excellent way to start earning money on-line right away. It is also a great way to break into new markets. If you already have a large email list to market to, you can send out an endorsement email and generate sales within minutes. The possibilities are endless. Check out affiliate programs today!

To your success!

Affiliate Tip - Make Links Clickable for AOL Users

2007-06-02T17:15:00.000-07:00

Do you know how many of your newsletter subscribers have AOL addresses? AOL has approximately 24 million subscribers, so it's likely that a good portion of your subscribers are getting your e-mails at an AOL account.

I checked one on my own opt-in lists, and twenty-five percent of the subscribers to my list were using AOL addresses. That's a whole lot of people that may stop reading your text newsletter if you don't take some easy steps and cater to them.

The current version of AOL (9.0) is doing a nice job of reading HTML e-mail, but text e-mail to AOL is still a problem.

Most e-mail clients will make a URL clickable, but not AOL e-mail. Rather, the programmers at AOL created a system that recognizes HTML tags in text e-mail messages and formats those tags like they would display in a browser.

If you simply include a URL in your text without the formatting, AOL subscribers will have to cut and paste the address into their browser window. As you can imagine, newbies may not understand how to cut and paste, or they might just assume that your link doesn't work.

The solution is to show your links in two formats: a basic URL, and a special text link (it's actually just plain HTML that you'll put in a text email) that is clickable in AOL text e-mail messages.

In order to create the AOL links in your text e-mail, just follow this format:

AOL users < a href= "http://www.yourwebsite.com" >click here< /a >

What AOL users see is: AOL users click here

It's that easy, so start doing it!

Viral Marketing Made Easy

2007-06-02T01:32:00.001-07:00

You may have heard about "viral marketing," but perhaps you are not sure exactly what it is. Viral marketing simply means using a marketing strategy that is designed to encourage people to pass along your marketing message.

Many Web marketers are using games or short Flash movies to encourage people to visit their Web sites and tell all their friends to come, too. During the 2004 U.S. Presidential election, the clever animation of Bush and Kerry singing "This Land is Your Land" drew massive numbers of visitors to http://www.jibjab.com/

Some book publishers have started offering online trailers, with a preview of the book, at their Web sites. For an example, see http://www.smalldogspress.com/ Book trailers are usually Flash movies that may combine author comments with visuals and music. They are often similar to the movie trailers you see for coming attractions.

Viral marketing is usually spread via email, and it may be contained in an email. For example, a clever "Top Ten" list, a touching story or a funny photo will be forwarded from person to person.

How can you put this to work for you? Look for something you can offer that people will pass along to their friends. It should not be a purely commercial message, it must also include utility, information or entertainment to interest people enough to forward it to their friends.

Send your viral message to your mailing list, and encourage them to pass it along to the people they know.
