As someone brand new
to Affiliate Marketing what’s the most important thing to know/ advice to give?
Well that’s a broad
question, but here’s a few Tips for Newcomers:
Podcasting is a crazy powerful medium to reach your audience and provide
support. As are Videos. If
your comfortable with talking to people, there are plenty of free software to
help you start producing content.
Affiliate link to
Products on Amazon.com and you make 5-8% COMMISSION on that product and on
anything they buy off Amazon if they go through your affiliate link.
Treat the products
that you’re going to promote as if they are your own products.
This shows confidence
in your products, and Builds trust with your audience! I would never promote
something I didn’t personally use, nor would I offer training that I never
personally went through.
The best way to
become an entrepreneur is not to build your sites around the business,
First target the
audience, with a pain or goals or some lacking quotient, discover ways to help
them. Develop the tool or product to help fulfill this need. If it exists, get
yourself a license to sell that product.
This way you
recommend products, that you know will help them. (*you know there is a market
for.)
Use the product &
Show them how you use it.
Create your own
Videos!
A hugely popular idea
for videos is do an “Unboxing” of the product.( showing step by step tutorial
of what to expect. While joining your system)
Provide support.
Simply by asking “if you have questions, let me know” you develop trust, and
honestly the better your Team does, the better we all do!
Do what you can to
deliver more value than what is offered.
For instance Develop
a quick start guide pdf file, that they only get if they join under YOUR link.
Tour your site from
visitors point of view. Is it attractive,
does it keep you engaged? Is it user friendly? Does it come across as friendly
and professional?
Bloggers to follow:
Tips To get you going!
Get started NOW! The longer you wait, the longer it will
take to get your name out.
Even if you don’t
have the Business end yet, Create all your social media pages, Follow and find
friends on FB / G+ / Twitter / ect.
Keep eyes open for
opportunities. Just because your in
a business, doesn’t mean that no-one has products that would benefit your
business. Just weigh the value they add to the cost they bring.
Try something new,
get uncomfortable. If your tomorrow is
just like yesterday, your future will be the same as today. The only way to get
Change is to TRY NEW THINGS,
and Get OUT of your Comfort
Zone!
Start your email list as soon as possible. (email list is a relationship tool to
distribute free stuff, promotional materials etc. NOT for spamming your link
to.)
Collect customers
email addresses. Collect addresses of anyone that you contact, by giving out
your email to everyone! Keep the addresses of your customers, in case you
develop a product that adds value to products they already purchased.
Don’t use a trademark
in a domain name. (sounds simple, but
even things like LEED or BLIZZARD or WINDOWS can end up costing you a lot of
money and reputation when you have to switch your domain names.)
Make more
connections. Make people reach out to you.
I Hope this Helps out!
Let me know if you would like me to answer any specific
questions you may have!
