Affiliate Marketing for Newbies
If you're an affiliate marketer and you are directing traffic
straight to your affiliate link, then you are doing it all
wrong. By making this common mistake you are missing out on a
huge income potential. A better way to set up your affiliate
marketing campaign is to set up squeeze pages. What's a squeeze
page, you ask? It's a page which has an overview of the specific
service which you are marketing including a form requesting name
and email address. If the person is interested in hearing more
about your product or service, they will fill in the form, click
submit, where they will be directed to a thank you page
including an exact link to your specific product or service.
Notice that said "exact link", this means you don't just direct
them to your homepage where they will have to search through all
of the products and services you are selling. You direct them to
an exact link where they will see more info about the product
that got them interested in visiting your site. Nothing turns
customers off quicker than directing them to some general
website that sells a bunch of stuff.
Something else to keep in mind is, for every product or service
you want to promote; you must have a separate squeeze page for
each. This is really the key to marketing online successfully.
You should start out with only one affiliate program and create
your marketing campaign, where you will focus on a couple of
your products to promote through squeeze pages.
Another way to market your goods is to design your own website
and/or blog. You can get a free blog through www.blogger.com and
a website through www.freewebs.com . For those who don't know, a
blog is a type of website which contains journal-like posts
which are updated frequently. You can create a blog around any
topic you choose, and sign-up for affiliate programs which
correspond to your topic of interest. Also, it's a good idea to
get your own domain name for your website. You can get a free
domain with no ads through www.co.nr . From here you should
create posts on your blog and ping it every time you submit a
new post. This simply means that you will request other sites to
be notified that you have updated your site. This will trigger
your site to be crawled by indexing spiders, which will increase
your site's popularity (thus increasing your search engine
rank). After setting up your blog, you can create posts which
contain a link or two to your website or an affiliate link which
helps to solve a problem discussed in the post. The benefits
here are two-fold, you are advertising without "selling" (no one
likes to be sold) and you are increasing the number of links to
your site which will increase your rank on search engines.
