Having an online business, which makes you money on auto-pilot is very exciting. Although it's easy to make money with affiliate marketing, only a very small percentage of affiliates make a lot of money.
This article has a few tips, not only will you avoid the normal mistakes most affiliate marketers make, but you will also learn how to select programs that make you residual income for many months.
With affiliate marketing a merchant pays you the (affiliate) a certain percentage of the sale price for merchandise sold. It's a win-win situation because the affiliate simply refers people to a website and does not have to worry about fulfillment, and the merchant gets people to advertise for them and only has to pay them after The sell has been made.
Here are a few normal mistakes most affiliate marketers make, and why you should avoid them:
1. Sending people directly to an affiliate's website.
You spend so much time and energy plus money to advertise. When you send people directly to a merchant's website you only have one chance to get the sale. If they don't buy they are gone. The best way to do this is to send people to an sign up form, where you give them something of value for free gift or a new letter, in exchange for their email address. That way you can follow up with that person at a later date and have the opportunity to sell them other products.
2. Creating a website with to many affiliate links, And lots of banners.
If you are selling cars,Don't send them to a website about boats. Instead, offer an honest review of the product, pre-selling readers on its benefits, and on how it will help them.
3. Affiliate commission theft.
Commission theft is a big problem, You can't eliminate it completely,But there are some steps you can take, to minimize it dramatically. Two methods you can use are cloaking and redirecting,
It takes a lot of effort to refer a sale for a one-time purchase product than it takes to refer one for a residual payment product. Therefore, it makes good business sense to try and market affiliate programs with recurring commissions.
when choosing a residual payment affiliate programs, you should consider the quality of the services you are promoting.
Take this for a example, You refer a sale for a membership website which only offers resale rights to ebook's, and nothing else to keep the customer from canceling. They join, download all the ebook's and then cancel within the same month.
Consider referring a sale for web hosting or for an autoresponder service. These services is something that every online marketer needs for there business, and he/she is therefore not likely to cancel for a very long time or until they give up their online ventures completely.
In conclusion, you should try and avoid the normal mistakes that affiliate marketers make by sending your customers to an sign up form first, pre-selling them to the product's benefits, and by avoiding affiliate commission theft. In addition, you should be going after programs with residual commissions but be sure to always evaluate the quality of the product you are recommending. To be able to do that, the best way is to try the product yourself first.
