Start Affiliate Marketing Today
Affiliate Marketing is the future of advertising. With all the technological devices and techniques readily available today, businesses are turning to affiliate marketing to get their product to literally millions of people all over the world. It’s a win/win situation for both the business with the product and the affiliate marketer. It’s a win for the business, because they don’t pay the advertiser unless a purchase is made. It’s a win for the affiliate marketer because there is no cost at all, you just provide your own ethical marketing technique and drive people to make a purchase and you will earn a commission on the sale made. Here are a few steps to get you started with your own affiliate marketing business.
Step 1 : Choose A Profitable Market
Decide on which market you like to enter. Try and choose something that you have either a deep passion in or some expert domain knowledge.
Research on what is the market potential by going to yahoo overture at [http://overture.inventory.com] and find out how many people search on a related keyword or keyword phrase last month! A number above 50,000 will be ideal.
Step 2 : Choose A Profitable Affiliate Product
Next go to clickbank.com which is the world’s biggest online marketplace for digital products. Look for a profitable affiliate product in your niche under Marketplace.
Take your time to shop for the best program to promote. If you can, try out the product yourself to see if it passes your quality check. You certainly do not want to recommend a lemon to your customers.
A good program is one that :
• pays you above 50% referral commission
• ranks high on the popular and best-selling charts
• has a well-written sales pitch page that you yourself are convinced
Once you selected the program, sign up with Clickbank and get your hoplink to your chosen program.
Step 3 : Create A “Look-alike” Opt-In Page
Next, create a simple Opt-in page that sort of resembles the look and feel of the merchant’s pitch page.
An opt-in page is one where you can collect your subscriber’s name and email before you point them to the hoplink (the merchant’s sales page). By doing so, you are building yourself a list of customers where you could build relations with instead of starting from ground zero again when you market a 2nd affiliate product.
Try and give away a freebie for people to opt-in if you like.
Step 4 : Use An Autoresponder
Your prospect may not buy from you at the first attempt. If you know how to use an autoresponder, this is where you could simply write a series of “sales-pitching” emails to convince your prospect over time. A good rule of thumb is about 5 to 7 emails.
Highlight one unique selling point of the affiliate product in each email.
Do not spam your list. If they will not buy from you after 5 emails, they probably will not buy from you at all.
Step 5 : Drive Traffic To Your Opt-In Page
With all your autoresponder emails set up, the last task which is the most difficult is to drive traffic to your website.
For quick results, invest a little in pay-per-click ads from Google. If you have painstaking performed each step so far and have picked the best affiliate product to recommend with a strong and convincing sales letter coupled with equally well-written follow up emails, you should get some sales after a while.
