How To Make a Killing Through Affiliate Marketing

May 20, 2013 by Tina Lee-Almazar | Tinaciouslee Leave a Comment

Affiliate marketing is a performance-based marketing method between an online business and one or more website owners called affiliates. Affiliates will post ads with embedded affiliate links within it. Readers and potential customers are then encouraged by affiliate marketers to click on these ads to get a commission for any sale secured.

If you become an affiliate marketer and are able to drum attention from your target market effective, you can earn significant amount in profits as well as build a client base and establish markets.

In order to have a successful marketing strategy for your business, here are a few important factors to consider.

Keep Content Updated

The most important thing to do is to maintain daily activities in your marketing efforts. If you’re focused on SEO, you should build five links or more daily. This will not only expand the reaches of your campaign, it will also make your marketing efforts grow progressively.

Customize Marketing Strategies

Come up with your marketing strategy and stick to it. Every now and then, various marketing methods come up and offer earning “easy money”. Most businesses that succeed in their marketing efforts are usually those who research and learn everything about their chosen campaign then worked on perfecting that plan. Changing of strategies means not only additional costs but also taking more time for that plan to eventually make money for you.

Build Better Business Relationships

Your customers are your assets. Come up with a list of paying customers so that you are always aware of how you handle business with them. If you build a strong relationship with your satisfied customers, they will continuously do business with you. Also, list down all valuable information like particular customer requests in order to please them every time they engage business with you. Having a list of customers will also let you contact them and market affiliate products as well. This could be an easy way to boost income if the need comes.

Diversify

For marketers who are just starting out, branching out is extremely helpful. Diversify your campaigns or the sites you are connected to as not every site will work out for you. Expansion will make it easier for you to find out which strategy works best. You should not hold back and be afraid to try new things. This will prevent you from earning that amount of money you hoped for when you decided to put up your business. Go ahead and start campaigns. Make sure to track your success and make the necessary changes when needed.

Look At The Bigger Picture

Focus your efforts on campaigns that earn more for your company. Smaller sites that have the lowest profits would be best sold and let go so that you can concentrate on those that produce the most returns of income. You may even allocate the expenses you spend on the smaller sites to improve the high-revenue sites you have.

Road Test Everything!

Make sure to test everything. Don’t wait for things to blow up in your face before taking action. Test out the sites that you intend to use to see if they would work properly or not. Make sure the sites you build are focused on products or topics that will attract people.

By keeping all these tips in mind, you are well on your way to building a lucrative career as an affiliate marketer.

Affiliate Marketing Mistakes To Watch Out For

July 9, 2012 by Tina Lee-Almazar | Tinaciouslee Leave a Comment

With virtually hundreds of marketing software, get rich quick schemes, mentoring from “expert” marketers and such, many affiliate marketers expect to cash in quickly through affiliate marketing. The sad reality is, achieving success online is not as simple as you might think. In fact, a large number of marketers fail to generate profits online and having no other choice but to cut their losses and leave.

So why is it that an industry, with hundreds of marketers generating millions online, leaves so many others with unsuccessful business online? There are various reasons why affiliate marketers fail. Below are some of the most common factors that lead to failures in affiliate marketing:

Picking Obscure Niches

Common sense tells us that smaller niche online markets have lesser competition. When there’s less competition, marketers can cash in on largely untapped markets, leading to earning higher profits. On the other hand, this strategy could backfire if there are hardly any buyers to sell your products or services to.

Capitalizing on little known niches might not generate enough earnings to sustain business because there’s very few people who you can sell your products to. Therefore, it’s best to select moderately/highly active markets and instead, think of creative, unconventional ways to get the edge you need to beat competitors.

Being Generally Lazy

There’s no such thing as easy money online and if you do come across such a scheme, it’s probably a scam. It’s surprising how some affiliate marketers get so lazy promoting products and yet seemingly surprised at how little they earned. Many marketers depend solely on developing friendly bonds with prospective customers but stop short at cultivating deeper business relationships.

Just like any other businesses, it takes hard work, patience, and commitment to succeed to build a lucrative online empire, so don’t be lazy, cover grounds and watch your profits rise.

No Definitive Marketing Campaign

You cannot go to war without ammunition and you certainly cannot expect success in affiliate marketing without doing your homework. Success online starts with formulating the most effective marketing campaign for your business. Unfortunately, many marketers are swept with all the hustle and bustle of gaining traffic that they tend to overlook even the most basic principles of marketing. And this does not even apply to online marketing alone, but also marketing for brick and mortar businesses. If you want to be noticed, if you want to drum attention to the right people, start assessing what types of marketing strategies will work favorably to your business.

Counting On Unrealistic Goals

Most businesses take at least two years before they earn respectable profits. The same thing applies for affiliate marketing. It’s best to be have realistic expectations, take your time to perfect your marketing strategies and make the necessary changes as your business takes off. Remember, in any investment, hard work and persistence is key.

Establishing Stronger Affiliate Marketing Campaign

July 9, 2012 by Tina Lee-Almazar | Tinaciouslee Leave a Comment

In affiliate marketing, a marketer uses his site to promote the products or services of a business or company. In return, the marketer will earn a commission for every lead or secured sales. The share of the revenue entitled for the affiliate depends on specific performance measures. Taking the right steps in affiliate marketing can spell the difference between earning and losing thousands of dollars. In this post, we will discuss practical ways to establish a stronger, more sustainable marketing campaign to increase revenues.

Build and Maintain Trust

Any business ventures and transactions require a certain level of trust between sellers and customers. Trust is especially important when it comes to online businesses because the industry itself is saturated with scammers. Therefore, gaining the trust of your target market should be your highest priority. When there’s trust, customers won’t think twice about buying what you are selling. One of the best and simplest ways to build trust from potential customers is to provide useful, relevant, and accurate information.

Set-up a Resource Page for Your Readers

Many sites use resource pages and so should you because this is where readers view your affiliate recommendations for certain products. It will be easier for your site visitor to know more about what your merchants are selling. Post a mix of free and paid products or services just to give your customers more choices. Just make sure that you have tried and tested the products you are selling when presenting opinions about them. You can provide links to your resource page from social networks, other blogs, newsletters, web pages, or banners.

Advertise Excellent Products

Another effective way to increase profit through affiliate marketing is offering valuable information to your readers, providing solutions to their problems and establishing yourself as an expert in your chosen niche. Don’t promote products just to cash in, make sure you offer great products that you actually believe in. You need to earn credibility as an affiliate marketer and it all start with solving problems and offering relevant and information content.

Offer Incentives to Customers

Everyone loves freebies so why not stir the pot once in a while, instigate a contest or offer bonuses. What’s great about offering bonuses is that you can track each sale you make. Most affiliate tracking systems are not capable of tracking all sales so it’s possible that someone else might be credited for a sale that was supposedly yours. This happens whenever cookies are deleted or blocked.

To avoid this, be sure to link the incentive you offer with the order made by the customers. Just make sure to include a bonus that your customers would love to get. Look for something that customers will value. This will not only increase your sales, it will also make your readers happier.
