3 Survival Tactics For Affiliate Marketers

As an affiliate marketer you are always looking for that one niche market that could provide ultimate riches. It is like searching for that eternal bottle of youth. You know it might be out there you just haven’t looked long and hard enough. But as you find out, there is a lot more hard work and dedication that is involved than you may want to believe. But time and again it has been shown that you must stick to good marketing tactics that have proven to be successful over the years. These tactics have been shown to have worked with online marketing and are continuing to work in the online affiliate marketing world. These three tips might allow you to increase your sales and ultimately survive in affiliate marketing online.
1. Make sure you are using unique web pages to promote each separate product that you are marketing. You can’t expect to crowd everything together on one site to save some money on webhosting. Having a site dedicated to each product will make a big difference.
When you include a product review on the website visitors will be able to understand what the product might be able to do for them if they purchase it. And having some testimonials wouldn’t hurt either but make sure these are actual people who have used the product especially with the new FTC rules in place. After all everyone will not get the same results. And make sure you have the permission of the individuals before you put their name and photos on your site of that particular product.
You may also want to write articles describing how the product can be used and use these also on the pages on your website. Make sure the pages are attractive and compelling and be sure to include a call to action. Try to make the headlines stand out and compel the reader to want to read more of the article so much so that they may want to contact you. Give them bullet points about a particular selling points. Then your readers will want to read on and want to find out more information.
2. A good selling point is to offer a free report. Make it stand out on your page with your opt-in box at the top of the page so that they can’t miss it. That way you can get them on your list, very important to any marketer, and get them in your autoresponder series when they sign up. Recent sales studies have shown it can take up to the seventh contact with a subscriber before they will buy from you.
There are usually only two things that can possibly happen with that web page; either they buy from you or they click off of the page. With that autoresponder series you will be constantly reminding them of you and the product. And it will not seem like spam because they did sign up in your opt-in box. Your ultimate goal is the sale and if they are receiving useful and interesting information you may have developed a loyal customer who may buy more from you. What would you want more a customer who has bought and may might buy more from you or a new customer who you have to prove yourself to? And when you are sending information wanting them to purchase your particular product try to make the content interesting but also directed toward the product and not a sales pitch.
Give them good points about how that product will make their life better or make a process easier and more enjoyable with this product. Try to grab their attention with the subject line in the emails. Make sure that free report has some really good content as well showing how they are missing out on not having the product and services.
3. Make sure you are getting traffic directed at the particular niche you are trying to attract. If the information you are trying to send to golfers is being directed at tennis enthusiast, you will more than likely be losing those viewers to your website. Try writing articles for publication in e-zines and e-reports. You should be able to find publications that cater to your target niche so you can direct your articles toward them and that might grab their interest.
If you can try to to write a minimum of two articles per week, with at least 3-600 words in length. If you are continuously writing and maintaining these articles you might be able to generate as many as 100 targeted readers to your site. If you can remember that only 1 in 100 people are likely to buy your product or service. Just think then if you can get 1,000 targeted visitors to your site you might make ten sales on average.

These particular tactics may not sound to difficult to do, when you think about it. But make sure they are proceeded by a little time and a sound action plan on your part. Try using these tips for several affiliate marketing programs. You may end up having yourself a decent source of income and deciding you want to stay in this business. Most marketers are not able to do this. The work is hard but it can be done and think of the possible huge paychecks you might be generating.
