Affiliate Marketing Tips
Down below I will list some tips which affiliates use to make more money online. You should find these affiliate marketing tips helpful.
Offer a bonus - Offer a bonus to the people who buy through your affiliate link. This is a simple but very effective trick which is commonly used by affiliate marketers to increase their income. If you can't create your own product/s for a bonus then you can buy PLR products or hire a freelancer to create something for you.
Write reviews - Write a review about the affiliate product you're promoting. Experienced affiliates commonly do this to presell an affiliate product. That way they will increase the conversion rate and make more sales. You can create reviews on blogs, classifieds (like this section), videos etc... This technique can be even more effective if mixed with the first tip. You review the product and offer a bonus. If you do it properly your conversion rates will go through the roof!
Promote new products - Don't get me wrong here. You can make plenty of money by promoting old products, but the chances that your leads have already seen or bought such products are higher than the chances of having seen a new product. Out of 2 products of the same quality, the new one will probably have a better conversion rate, especially in the "make money online" niche.
Build a list - Instead of promoting affiliate offers directly you can build a list first and promote products later on to your subscribers. It will take you more time to make money this way but in the long run it's usually more profitable.
Ways To Get Free Traffic To Make Money Online
Down below you will find some free traffic methods which you can use to earn money online. These methods are particularly useful to beginners who don't have much money to spend on advertising.
Article Marketing – You write an article and post it on an article directory to get traffic. Naturally you will get much more traffic from an article if you get good rankings for good keywords on google and other search engines.
Guest Posts – Basically the same as article marketing, but you post your articles on blogs (in niches similar to yours) rather than on article directories. Some people actually prefer guest blogging over article marketing. In my opinion both are effective ways to get free traffic.
Classifieds – This method consists of posting classified ads on free classifieds website. A very popular classifieds website is craigslist.org
Social Networking – Social networks, particularly Facebook and Twitter have grown a lot in the past few years. If you use them wisely you can get a lot of traffic from them.
Social Bookmarking – Normally this is used for backlinking (for SEO) rather than to get traffic directly but you can certainly use it for the latter and earn money.
Forum marketing – Most forums allow you to post links in your signature. Not all of them allow affiliate links though, so you should always read the forum rules first. Just in case you ask, this forum does not allow affiliate links in the signature.
Document marketing – This is a great free way to get traffic which I speak about in detail in my e-book. Basically it involves creating a document (e-book, blueprint, whatever you want to call it) and share it. It’s similar to article marketing but in my opinion it’s better.
