‘AFFILIATE PROGRAMS MARKETING TIPS’

Writing good ads is one of the most important parts of your campaign.   It can mean the difference between success and failure.  Although every campaign is different, I have found general trends through testing that usually work. The overall formula I like to use when writing ads is this:

Title and Line 2: Repeating the search term, starting the pre-sell

Line 3: Reassuring the customer, showing authority, and bonus selling points if space.

Display URL: Providing confidence in next step.

As always, its easiest to see with an example. Let’s use the example of a shoe offer like shoebuy or zappos. This ad would be for a search hitting the keyword “running shoes“. Here is a sample ad:

1. Start with Setting up the Right Mindset

You have to have the right mindset for success in affiliate marketing. You need to have serious self discipline to be able to succeed in this business.

If you have a habit of coming up with excuses for your own failures, you need to reshape your thinking.

Affiliate marketing is not a get rich quick business. You need to work long hours, be consistent and creative to be able to succeed in affiliate marketing.

2. Research, but Avoid Getting Burnt by Information Overload

You have thought about the mindset, and you trust that affiliate marketing is the right business model for you to get in. Congratulations.

Now, start with researching. Try to focus on one project at a time. Especially if you are new to the game, you cannot learn everything about all different marketing methods and venues (e.g. PPC, PPV, Article Marketing, etc.)

Do your general research, pick one method and start working on it until you start making money.

3. Improve Yourself by Adopting Continuous Learning

Affiliate marketing is an ongoing learning process. If everybody is talking about a hot promotion method, chances are probably somebody was making millions with that method couple of years ago.

You have to create a balance between ongoing learning & implementation. There are new things to learn every single day.

Good part is, there are so many available resources online to get you started. More Info »

1. Sign Up for Affiliate Programs that Appeal to Your Audience

Sign up for affiliate programs that appeal your Web site audience.  If your site is business oriented, place business related affiliate program banners on your pages, not online casino gambling banners.  However, if your Web site is a gambling newsletter then online casino gambling banners would be appropriate because it would appeal to your visitors.

2. Pick High Paying Affiliate Programs

Choose the highest paying affiliate programs.  You'll earn more money faster with the higher paying programs and those that pay you pennies on the dollar.  Some programs only pay 5 percent (or less) of their sales to their affiliates, while others pay 20 percent or more. It's best to use your Web space wisely, so pick those programs that pay the most.  I always choose the highest paying affiliate programs. More Info »
