Did
you know that 95% of people trying to make money in affiliate
marketing never earn any money? The first time you hear
about affiliate marketing it sounds as a very easy concept.
You just have to find product that people want, and find a
way to present this product to the right people. The rest
of the process should be easy - but it's not. What are the
problems you're facing as an affiliate marketer?
You
are just one of many marketers who are trying to sell the
very same product to the very same consumers. If you are determined
to win this war, you must have a plan to get your share of
the market.

Make
people trust you
The majority of website visitors don't buy the first time they see
your product, so it's very important to keep the conversation going.
This mean you have to build an email list of people interested in
your type of product. You've probably heard this a thousand times
- build a list if you want to have success in online marketing.
A resent study showed that 50% of affiliate
marketers don't have a list. Having a list is crucial to making
a profit in affiliate marketing. People will buy from you if they
get a chance to know you through your email list.
It
is hard work
Most people are lazy but you're not going to succeed in this type
of marketing without some hard work. Any successful affiliate marketer
can tell that it takes daily promotion of the product to get any
kind of results. What kind of promotion should you be doing? If
you're on a low budget here's some of the tools you should try to
master:
- Email
marketing
- Forum marketing
- Making a lens on Squidoo.com
- Blogs - your own blog or making comments on other blogs
- Article writing
- Writing small free reports
- Posting ads on USfreeads.com
- Posting ads on Craigslist.org
- Posting a video on YouTube.com or FreeIQ.com
Your
goal should be to do at least three of these activities every day.
Give and you shall be given
Building an email list of interested subscribers is not that difficult
but it takes time and some effort. When you have a list, don't try
to make them buy in every email you send to them. Give something
for free - a useful tip, a small report, a link to a great website.
When people find out that you really care and that you are a person
they can trust, then you have a much higher chance of selling your
product or products to them.
Copy
what works
Study how other successful affiliate
marketers promote a product - and copy their promotion process.
Rewrite it, make it your own - but based on principles you know
that works. If you see an article you like - rewrite it in your
own words. If you see a great ad for your product - rewrite it and
use it. Did you find a great small report? Do some more research,
rewrite it and give it to your email list.
Don't
give up
It's important to keep promoting on a daily basis using all the
free tools mentioned earlier in this article. Affiliate
marketing is hard work but it is possible to win the war or
at least get a fair share of the market you're targeting. A customer
who trusted you and bought a product on your recommendation will
probably be much easier to sell to in the future. So take good care
of your paid customers - this is the most valuable asset you have
in your affiliate business. Keep them on a separate email list and
treat them generously.
