My 7 Favorite Tactics to Profit from Affiliate Marketing efforts!

#1. Ever tried Online Forums or Message Boards?

A high percentage of affiliate marketers don’t fully appreciate the value of online forums/message boards. And there are a few good FREE ones!

These can be a great way to spread the word about the product you’re promoting. They are a reliable means to network and promote your offers together.

These online platforms pre-date social media so most social marketers have no clue what they are about and so never utilize them. Obviously, the most popular online forum is warrior Forum and we did a full expose on Forum Marketing for you so you don’t have to scramble the inter-webs for scraps of info.   

If done correctly, you will find it a treasure trove of info and marketing secrets you will never find on social media platforms like Instagram!

So if you are an affiliate marketer, looking to expand your network, this is as good a time as any to join online marketing-oriented forums. You’ll be in a great position to absorb knowledge from other affiliate marketers as well as from very successful marketers.

They usually post a lot of valuable information in the forums, which gives you an opportunity to learn from their mistakes. And test out their techniques.

Also, you’ll greatly expand your knowledge of marketing and get your own name out there. On top of that, you’ll be in a great position to form profitable business partnerships and find joint ventures.

Remember to view your affiliate business as a serious business, and with proper networking, you should have no problems growing it.

#2. Have A Unique web page for every affiliate product you promote.

Don’t heap all your affiliate products on just one website to save on domain names or hosting.

Create a separate product page for each product. Unique is easier to rank with the right long-tailed keywords. If you have no clue what this is, Download FREE our white hat SEO resource for your degree in that direction!

Now, you’ll stand out from all the other affiliates hawking the same affiliate page with just their unique identifier number…Not unique at all. No authority, No posture, Kapische?

Here is what else will happen then:

You will always have a distinct page for that and your other offers.

Rather than blatantly trying to promote all your affiliate offers on one page, create objective reviews that provide real information to visitors.

This is called pre-selling, the part that comes before selling. We did that for the Ultimate Branding Blueprint and the 3-minute expert these reviews bring in sales quite often because they rank in Google!  

Once you capture the visitor’s interest, they are more likely to click on the product owner’s sales page, where the real selling is done, via your affiliate Link! ? #Boom

So, you see why having a specific page for your affiliate product is more powerful? It helps you to make money with affiliate marketing!

#3. Let’s Talk Testimonials & Social Proof

I know, I know, you haven’t made are results to shout about so now what? Well ever heard of an affiliate company without product and customer Reviews or Testimonials?

Who said anything about your own testimony?

Until you create your own success, you can borrow others, AS LONG AS YOU STATE SO.

How many times have you bought anything off Amazon or eBay without checking out customer reviews? I rest my case.

So, on your unique affiliate page, have a section or link to a testimonial page.

Every satisfied customer is a ray of light attracting others. So, you mustn’t forget to include testimonials from any satisfied customers. This is the glue that holds people to your page and gets them to buy. They think,

If other normal humans bought and got great results, how about me? #kerching…

Now even more excite g is YOUR own personal experience of the product you are promoting. Seriously you must be a product of the product. Why sell stuff you have No personal experience of? Some bloggers do that when a brand reaches out to them…

Don’t be that blogger! You will feel so natural and comfortable talking about that product and what it does from personal experience.

#4. How to Profit from Affiliate Marketing – Ask For The Sale

Also known as a Call to Action – (CTA)… Okay, imagine your mate comes to you excited…

Hey Syl, I just got hold of an amazing product I bought off Jane…you know I met Jane on facebook.

And you go: what product?

And your mate goes: oh you know I always suffered from acne and well I have been using this “Jam cotton” cream. In fact, I wanted to share this concept with you…

And your heart falls…WHY?

Because you have been promoting that “jam cotton cream” for the last 3 months but you didn’t tell your mate about it. Maybe because she is on the dole and you judged her ability to pay! Arrrgg bummer too bad!

So, it’s the same with having an awesome web page with no strong call to action asking for the sale…That call to action should hypnotize the visitor to take a look and click through to the main affiliate product site.

Keep in mind that if you want people to read your copy, you must get them interested right away by having a compelling headline.

All of your writing must be easily understood. Instead of writing long paragraphs, why not use bullet points, which can be read much more easily?

#5. Go for the Selling Product

Okay, some people think this is silly…I say hold on Jose!

See, promoting a proven affiliate offer is a simple and successful strategy for many.

It makes a lot of sense that a popular affiliate product is one that has quality and converts.

Most lazy affiliate marketers stay away from these offers because they think about the competition and how tough it may be.

Well, that is not quite the truth of the matter. If you’re properly approaching your affiliate marketing, then a high level of competition really helps you to know if the product will perform well for you too! I call this the Red Ocean!

This will greatly benefit you because you can skip over a lot of research and prep work. It’s not the best strategy to decide based on the level of competition. It may be low because it’s a loser.

#6. That Traffic Getting huh!

No Traffic = NO sales. PERIOD

Whether you decide to go for Social media traffic, Paid Traffic, or Organic SEO traffic, you still NEED a lot of that sweet stuff to make sales. And it better be targeted or again No Moolah.

We have touched on Traffic in various posts one of the top ones being our article on Free Untapped Traffic Sources. Go read it so you never sit there twiddling your thumbs wondering where traffic sits.

Mind you if you aren’t using Pinterest for mob traffic juice you need your head checking…But we will save you that pain and point you to a comprehensive article on “Why Pinterest for Your Business.”

I always say DIY is the most expensive as the price is Your Life = Time Spent finding a nugget from the Freemium! So, don’t spend your life, rather Invest your time to free you to live your life. Get some training under your belt.

You need to understand and know how you’ll be getting targeted traffic to your various offers. Experienced internet marketers already know that some marketing techniques are more successful than.

So, it’s important that you know how you’ll be marketing your offers. And with a head start shared in the resources above, you better believe it that 3 months down the road you will profit from affiliate marketing more.

It is not recommended to use a shotgun approach to marketing. Also, chose just one marketing method, work, and master it until you are successful. Then try a different one if you want.

For instance, we focused on Pinterest Marketing and we know just how to work it.

Many marketers have difficulty because they lose focus, they try everything. They are like a disco-ball, throwing out lots of light, but not lighting anything enough! Try being like a laser beam i.e. one strategy until successful.

Traffic will be an integral part of your affiliate marketing campaign and this is why it’s necessary to identify a source that works for you and your niche and stick to it.

#7. Free Reports Still Attract

A simple technique that we have used since we learned it way back is to help others out as a strategy i.e. contribute to your marketing by giving away free reports…

Creating free reports, e-books, and Downloadables is pretty simple and you can do so with this resource.

You can spread the word about your affiliate site and products by making free reports available to the public. This in turn means more people become aware of your product/service than ever before. You are giving away value and educating your audience at the same time!

Your Free report will accomplish this:

You have the chance of being recognized as an expert and you can warm them up to your affiliate product inside of the report!

A free report that can’t be found anywhere else is priceless. If even one free report is well received it can be circulated to people around the globe. Extremely popular reports become so by being liked by many people that eventually distribute them for you. Loads of free traffic to your offers is as simple as creating a viral report.

But you won’t know what free report will go viral unless you start creating them today!
