Find Your Niche
Ok, you've decided you want to make money with Affiliate Marketing.So, you join some affiliate programs and start submitting free ads to newsletters and free advertising classifieds sites.
You probably have more than one thing that you are very interested in and do well. See if you can find five (ten if you're really ambitious). Write them down in a list. Remember, you are going to be spending a lot of time working with this subject. Make sure you enjoy it!
It doesn't have to be elaborate. This is just to give you an idea of how much information is available for a given subject.
Try mind mapping. Write down the main subject of your idea. Draw a circle around it. Now, start thinking of sub-categories that are related to your main category. Draw a line from your main category and end it with a circle. Put the sub-category title inside this circle. Find as many sub-categories (and sub-sub-categories) as you can.
Go through each of your interests with this procedure. Choose the one that you know the most about and that you can write about comfortably.
What if you "think" you don't know enough about your topic? Then, do some research. Read books and magazines. Do some searches on the Internet. Who knows? You might find an area, a niche, that is just waiting for you to fill it with useful information.
There's a lot more to affiliate marketing, of course. But the first step is to find your passion. Your "passion" doesn't have to be making money on the Internet. It can be cooking, sewing, billiards, or whatever. In fact, it's better if you find a niche that isn't in the online marketing arena because that's what nearly everyone else is doing.
Make your topic unique. Make it yours. And make it your passion. It will pay you well.
Affiliate Tools You Need
Signing up to become an affiliate involves a lot more than pasting your link around the internet. You need to plan for your success and those plans should include research on the many tools that are available for affiliates and business owners.
The Absolutely Necessary Tools for an Affiliate Marketer
Signing up to become an affiliate involves a lot more than pasting your link around the internet. You need to plan for your success and those plans should include research on the many tools that are available for affiliates and business owners.
Website/Blog
You can make money online without a website or a blog. However, you can make more money if you have these tools and use them wisely. Affiliate programs will give you a link to a premade website. When thousands of affiliates are all showing the same site as a landing page, it can quickly bore your visitors away and keep you from making a sale and receiving a commission. With your own pages in place, you can create fresh content and presell to your visitors and this will increase the chances that they will make a purchase once they hit the sales page.
Auto Responder
This tool is a must have for your affiliate marketing campaign. An autoresponder will instantly email your clients and potential customers at predetermined times that you have previously setup. As much as we would like to be able to keep an eye on our business at all times, that is an unrealistic goal. An autoresponder will do what you cannot by quickly sending out your newsletters, emails and notices to someone who has recently signed up. You can use an online service, software or scripts that can be placed in your websites.
Ad Tracker
An ad tracker is essential in keeping you informed on the progress of your different campaigns and affiliate programs. These tools can help you to trace each click that is made to your links and ad pages. This is a great way to figure out what program is working for you and which needs to be replaced with something that your visitors will like best.
Link Cloaker
Some people dislike the thought that you are making a commission through your affiliate links. They will cut off your referral and go through the main site, and this will mean less money for you and your business. Other’s may simply look at your links and decide to replace them with their own. This means that you have once again lost money. To over ride these types of bad behavior, you can cloak your links using scripts, software or online services. These services can change the address of your links completely and others can keep visitors from seeing the link address when they mouse over on your website.
Article Submission Tools
Thousands of article submission websites are sprawled across the World Wide Web and more are being created as you read this. The reason for these websites is that internet users know that content is king. An article site will have hundreds to thousands of articles and once ads are placed, they have a chance to make a lot of money from visitors. If done correctly, these article websites can make its owner a lot of money and many would like a piece of the profits. With so many of these websites to choose from, it can be tedious and boring trying to submit your articles one at a time to each website. Using article submission software or services provided from an online company, you can submit hundreds of articles to these different websites in a very short amount of time.
Website/Blog
You can make money online without a website or a blog. However, you can make more money if you have these tools and use them wisely. Affiliate programs will give you a link to a premade website. When thousands of affiliates are all showing the same site as a landing page, it can quickly bore your visitors away and keep you from making a sale and receiving a commission. With your own pages in place, you can create fresh content and presell to your visitors and this will increase the chances that they will make a purchase once they hit the sales page.
Why You Should Build Your List
There are many marketing tools available that can help you to make money with your online business. One of them is called list building, and it is a great way to have an online rolodex containing a list of customers and potential buyers.
Build Your List
Earn More Money by Building Your List
There are many marketing tools available that can help you to make money with your online business. One of them is called list building, and it is a great way to have an online rolodex containing a list of customers and potential buyers.
Many internet entrepreneurs use this tactic, and it can be extremely successful and profitable, if you know how to apply different list building techniques. New internet users who would like to start their own online business, have skipped over this great money maker because they think that it is too much work, or they may consider an unnecessary step in online marketing, but that is far from the truth. If you are not engaging in list building, you are missing out on a lot of money that you could have earned by having repeat customers.
One way that you can build a list, is to have a form on your website that allows your visitors to signup with their name and email addresses. Once this is done, you will send these individuals a newsletter that is filled with information pertaining to the subject of your website to provide them with the information that they are seeking.
These newsletters are a great way to remind your visitors and customers that you still exist. People have short term memories and will forget a website very easily because there are millions of web pages available online. You want them to remember your website and what it has to offer. When your newsletter is delivered to their email inbox, they will read your latest articles and content, and you can have subtle ads or products that you can recommend.
If you have a product for sale, you should note that most of the first time visitors to your website are not likely to buy from you on their first visit. If they become regular readers on your site or in your newsletters, they may eventually come across an ad or product that they like on your website.
Tips to Create a Great Customer List
Make your visitors an offer that they cannot refuse. This can be done with a give away that you can feature in a current newsletter. People love free stuff and it does not matter if this is a free ebook, audio or video. If you offer something free, you are almost guaranteed to receive many signups to your newsletter form.
Once you have begun to build your list, you will need to keep your members interested. It is easy to join a newsletter and it is just as easy to opt-out of that list. Keep their attention and give them great material that will keep them waiting for more.
Be an authority to your readers. The reason that they have become a member is to get information that they want to receive from you. You want to write articles and material that will help them to learn something that is not freely available.
Create a schedule and stick to it. When you first begin the list, you should try for a monthly newsletter or a bi-weekly edition. Many internet gurus have weekly newsletters, but you should understand what you are getting into before you go all out. You do not want to promise your readers that you will provide new and great newsletter each week if you cannot guarantee it. You will also want to avoid creating a newsletter that is filled with junk and worthless because you did not have the time to create a good one.
You are creating a newsletter, not a weekly circular. While you will want to mention a few products every now and then, you will want to avoid sounding like a telemarketer. Don’t push products in the faces of your visitors every time. When you do add, be subtle and don’t fill the entire newsletter with your ads.
