Affiliate Marketing Tips
This section is going to give you some tips for improving your affiliate marketing efforts and to help you make more money.
When you are writing articles, make them informative. People are typically searching for information to solve a problem, so give them enough information to get them through to your site and buy the products you are recommending.
Articles based around “10 ways to …” or “7 tips for …” or “5 top …” are very successful. People love these types of articles and you can get a really good click through on them. You need to make sure your article title grabs attention like the headline of a sales letter. The title is what entices people in to read more.
There are hundreds of article directories out there and many of them will get you so little direct traffic it isn’t worth submitting to them. There are specific niche article directories, which are always worth submitting too.
Submit your article directly to the major article directories and then either don’t submit to the rest or use some software to do so. The major article directories are where you will get the majority of your traffic from.
Set yourself a target or writing 10, 15 or even 20 articles a day and stick to it. Spin each one and submit it to the article directories or use it as content on your site.
This sort of article writing schedule will get you earning in the quickest possible time and keep your earnings high. The people who earn the least from affiliate marketing are those who do the least work.
You need to be tracking all your traffic and sales so you know which articles and which sites are generating you the most income. Find out which articles are earning the most, understand why and then use that knowledge in the rest of your affiliate marketing efforts.
Understand which sites are sending you the most traffic and use them more.
The sites that aren’t sending you traffic may not work at all or may not work for that niche.
Product reviews are a great way to make sales as an affiliate. You do need some knowledge of the product in order to write an honest review, but that knowledge can give you the edge in sales.
When you write a product review, don’t be afraid to write what you didn’t like about a product or what you felt was missing. Your readers will appreciate your honesty and you are more likely to make sales this way. Far too many people write gushing product reviews extolling the virtues of a product and people want to know the truth, not have the wool pulled over their eyes.
The next step on from this is to write product comparisons. Take two products, one of a lower value than the other and compare the two. Again, be honest and
don’t be afraid to point out the negatives.
What you will find with this technique is that your conversion rate increases.
Some people buy the more expensive product, others will buy the cheaper. This is obviously better for you.
Ultimately, you will see how this works when you do it and track the results. It does work very nicely though!
