Most people who are just starting out with affiliate marketing make the mistake of sending their traffic straight to their affiliate link. If you do this, you're really cheating yourself out of the money you've worked hard for. You'll need a "Squeeze Page" if you want to make a good living selling other people's products.
You might ask, "What is a "Squeeze Page"?" It's a page that briefly describes the service you're trying to sell. It has a form that asks people who visit your page for their names and email address. If the person wants to learn more about your product or service, they fill out the form with their name and email address and click "Submit." They are then taken to a thank you page with a link to your product or service. Notice that it says "exact link." This means that you shouldn't send them to your homepage, where they might get lost trying to find what they want. If they get too confused, they might just click away, which means you've lost them and a possible sale. You send them to the exact page where they can learn more about what made them want to visit your site in the first place. Customers don't like it when you send them to a website that sells a lot of different things.
As a general rule, you'll need a separate squeeze page for each affiliate link you want to promote. This is really the key to making money with online marketing. Keep it simple. Start with one affiliate programme, then plan and build your marketing campaign. Keep your attention on this one campaign, and when it works, just use squeeze pages to duplicate your promotion.
You can also sell your goods by making your own website and/or blog. Blogs are becoming more popular, and they are much easier to set up than they used to be.
For people who don't know what a blog is, it's a type of website that can have journal-like posts that are often changed. You can also post articles that link back to your site. This will help the major search engines find your site quickly. This is especially true if you use ping every time you update your blog.
spiders, which will make your site more well-known (thus increasing your search engine rank). Blogs can be about anything you want, and they are a good way to promote affiliate programmes.
After you've set up your blog, you can write posts that link to your website or an affiliate link that has something to do with the post's topic. There are two benefits to this. First, you can advertise without "selling," which no one likes to do.
be sold), and you are increasing the number of links to your site, which will raise your rank on search engines.
It can be risky to market affiliate programmes and use their links. I mean that most affiliate links can be taken over by marketers who aren't honest. I use a redirect code to hide the original link when I'm promoting an affiliate link.
If you do these things, you'll get the affiliate sales you want.
