Affiliate marketing business is so accessible today with so many product and brand services looking for people to recommend and help sell their offers. It is easier now compared to the days when people have to make use of the telephones and slower other mediums of information like mail and post – just to get the latest updates on the way their program is coming along.
So with technology at hand, and assuming that the affiliate is working from home, a day in his or her life could look something like this…
Upon waking up and after having breakfast, the computer is turned on to check out new developments in the network. As far as the marketer is concerned there might be new things to update and statistics to keep track on. The marketer is the owner of the product being promoted that affiliates are selling to their lists.
The site design has to be revised. The marketer knows that a well-designed site can increase sign ups from visitors. It can also help in the affiliate’s conversion rates.
That done, it is time to submit the affiliate program to directories that lists affiliate programs. These directories are means to attract people in joining your affiliate program. A sure way of promoting the affiliate program is registering it with the most popular directories.
It is time to check sales you are getting from your affiliates fairly and accurately. There are phone orders and mails to track down. See if they are new clients checking the products out. Noting down the contact information that might be a viable source in the future.
There are lots of resources to sort out. Adverts, banners, button ads and sample recommendations to give out because the marketer knows that this is one way of ensuring more sales. It is important to stay visible and accessible too.
The affiliate marketer remembers that there are questions to answer from site or article visitors. This has to be done quickly. Nothing can turn off a customer than a delay in answering emails. Nobody wants to be ignored and customers are not always the most patient of all people. Quick answer that should appear professional yet friendly too. There’s an option to use a Virtual Assistant trained to check library of FAQs in future….but the marketer wants to stay involved so he can see how things are developing and if changes are needed in messaging or elements of the campaign.
In the process of driving, promoting and supporting their campaigns, the marketer is logged on to a chat room where he or she interacts with other affiliates and those supporting that same program. This is where they can discuss things on how to best promote the products.
There are things to be identified, corrected and refined and it is always a continuous and a real-time process. Sharing tips and advice is a good way of providing real-time support to keep everyone succeeding. There may be others out there wanting to join and may be enticed by the discussion that is going on. It’s good to keep an open view on how opportunities may lie ahead.
Imagine the newsletters and ezines were updated days ago, so it is time for the affiliate marketer to see if there are some new things happening in the market. This will be written about in the marketer’s publication to be distributed to the old and new customers.
These publications are also an important tool in staying up to date with the newly introduced products. The marketer has put up a sale and promotion that customers may want to know about. Besides, they have to keep up with the deadline of these sales written in the publications.
It is that time to show some appreciation to those who have helped the marketer in the promotions and sale increase. Nothing like mentioning the persons, their sites and the process they have done that made everything worked.
Of course, this will be published in the newsletters. Among the more important information that have been written already.
The marketer has time to include recommendations or testimonials to those who want credible sources for the products being promoted. There is also time to post some comments on how to be a successful affiliate marketer on a site where there are lots of aspiring wannabee affiliate marketers.
Two things ticked off at the same time. The marketer gets to promote the product as well as the program they are in. Who knows, someone may be inclined to join.
Time flies. Missed lunch but he is satisfied with the progress made and the tasks done. Bed time….
Ok, so this may not be all done in a day. But then, this gives you an idea of how an affiliate marketer, a dedicated one that is, spends the marketing day.
It shows you the different elements that need to be initiated, learnt, improved and mastered over time in order to achieve continuous success online with marketing and affiliate programs…
Most of us are happy to be the successful affiliates leveraging the marketer’s offer to our growing list. Many of the core same skills apply building the list and promoting the offers as the affiliate.
