Affiliate Marketing
Affiliate marketing is one of the best ways to monetize your blog. You don’t create any product or services and don’t spend any money for this . Only find some quality products that match your niche .
I am making a nice monthly income from affiliate marketing . So I want to share some of the smart strategies that drive more sales and income.
The main attraction of affiliate marketing are:
- You can make money from each sale . This will really make you happy.
- The company is happy because they got a new sale.
- Your customer is happy because they got a good product or service.
For getting all these results you need to promote quality products. Otherwise, you and the company will be happy but not the customers . The unhappy customers never come back, and you won’t get any future sales from them.The most and important winning formulas of affiliate marketing are quality and trust. If you are promoting a quality product , your readers will trust you. If they found the first product helpful , they definitely come back and make another purchase .I do affiliate marketing here on SiteSprint, and I promote products that I purchased or used. So I can assure the quality of the product or services that I am promoting. This strategy really helps me to improve my affiliate income.
Product selection & value
Promote products that match your niche. If you are running a beauty blog and promoting web hosting products, that never give any value to your users. That is actually waste of time and space.So product selection has an important role in affiliate marketing success.
Trust
Promote products that you personally purchased or used. If you are talking about something that you have personally used , people trust you.Once you have gained this trust from your visitors by promoting a high-quality product , they will definitely come back and make another purchase if you promote another.
Product description
From my experience ‘ banners never make sales’ . You can use banners to make a first impression . However, you need to give a good description about that product to make any sale .Let me explain – You saw a banner on my site . You click the link , finally reached the product site . The product’s landing page really makes a good impression, and you decided to purchase that product . However, before that you want to hear from the real people who use that product . Right ?Here comes the importance of the product description . So if you read a review on my site about that product and then reached the product site and no doubt you will purchase.So don’t clutter your site with product banners . Write a review or include a product link in your articles . This will make more sales rather than displaying a banner.
Promotion
You can use different methods to promote your affiliate products . The most important and effective method is writing product reviews.You can create YouTube videos for more detailed product review.Email marketing is another way to promote your affiliate products. You can use AWeber for the same. This is the best email marketing software that helps you to build an opt in list and make more sales.Create a resource or tool page and include all important links to your website, product and services . This will really help you and your readers .
