As an affiliate you will always be looking for the markets that give the biggest paychecks. Some folks think it is a magic formula that is easily and readily available. Affiliate success is more complicated than that, though…!. It does involve applying proven marketing tactics to survive as online affiliate today.
Below are proven affiliate tactics that have worked in online affiliate marketing and continue to work for online affiliates today. These are used by well-known and more low-key affiliates who are successful. With these three affiliate tips, you will increase your sales and survive and thrive as an online affiliate marketer.
What are these three tactics?
- Use unique web pages to promote each separate product you are marketing. Do not lump all of them together to save some money on web hosting. It is better to have a site focusing on each and every product.
- Include product reviews on the website so visitors will understand what the product can do them if they buy it.
- Also include testimonials from happy customers who have already tried the product. Ideally get customers who are happy for you to use their names and photos on the relevant product site that you are marketing.
You can also write articles highlighting the uses and benefits of the product and include them on the website as an additional page. - Make the pages compelling and include calls to action. Headlines should attract the readers to try, to read more, or sign up to your list.
- Highlight your key benefits. This will help readers see what’s in it for them and be motivated to find out more and sign up.
- Offer free reports to your readers. If possible position them at the top of your page so it they wont be missed. Create autoresponder messages that will be mailed to those who give you their email into your sign-up box. Affiliate research shows that a sale is closed usually on the seventh contact with a prospect.
- Two things typically happen on your web page: You get a closed sale or the prospect leaves the page and never return again. By sending useful emails into their inboxes regularly, you will have multiple opportunities to remind them of the product they had interest in and you will see the sale is closed later, after further follow-ups.
- Focus on key benefits e.g. like how your product can make life easier and speed up their success.
- Add compelling headers and subject lines in the email. Try avoid using the word “free” as there exist old email spam filters that dumps those kind of contents into junk folders before anyone gets to see or open them.
- Remind those who signed up for your free reports that they risk miss something e.g slowing down their progress – when they do not avail of your products and services.
- Get targeted traffic for your specific product. Remember, if the visitor has no interest in what you are offering, they will not sign up, they will move on and not buy your product.
- Write articles for publication in relevant e-zines and e-reports to your product. This way you can locate publications that is focusing on your target customers and what you have put up might just grab their interest.
Write and publish 2-3 articles per week, with at least 350-650 words in length. By writing and publishing relevant articles regularly you can generate up to 100 targeted readers to your site in a day! Remember that only 1 out of 100 people are likely to buy your product or get your services. If you can generate as much as 1,000 targeted hits for your website in a day, that means on conservative figures, you can make 10 sales!
