Stop wasting your time and money on every Tom, Dick and Harry's so-called 'magic formula' for Affiliate Marketing success. Of course, you do get many valuable courses by recognized experts in the field. Whilst it's good to purchase them in order to hone your skills in affiliate marketing, all it really takes are 3 secret tactics to survive in this highly competitive area of Online Marketing.
3 tactics that are so outrageously simple, it's a wonder many affiliate marketers out there aren't even using them! And now, I'm going to hand these super powerful techniques to you on a platter. So let's cut to the chase and get started, shall we?
Secret Tactic # 1:- Use Unique Web Pages To Promote Each Individual Product You're Marketing
How many times have you come across websites with tons of products on the page, all cluttered together? Usually, a bold headline at the top of the page will go something like this- 'Buy these awesome products at bargain prices today' followed by the images of all the items.
Now tell me, how many people do you think are actually going to buy any of these products? Sure, they may just scroll down the page and have a quick look. However, since the website isn't giving them any specific reason as to *why* they should purchase them, people are simply going to click through to another site.
So if you've been doing the same thing, stop right now, and follow these steps instead:-
1. Maintain separate web pages for each unique product you're promoting.
2. Don't just leave it at that, though. Make each product page resemble a professional sales letter, with a magnetic headline, attractive image and compelling copy to go with it.
3. Include product reviews, testimonials, benefits, etc. Notice I said *benefits*, and not *features*.
Well, it's because tests have proved time and time again, that potential customers always look at how a product can *benefit* them, before finally purchasing it. Rarely are they interested in its features. So you'll want to prepare benefit-laden copy for the products you're promoting as an affiliate.
Also, make sure you use bullets and highlighted phrases, so that readers will find it easier to read what you've got to say.
Secret Tactic # 2:- Offer FREE Reports To Your Visitors
This is an extremely effective tactic that'll require you to set up squeeze pages. For those of you who aren't familiar with the term, a squeeze page is actually a simple web page where you offer a free report, autoresponder series, or an ebook, in exchange for the visitor's email address.
Set one up pronto, with a no-cost bonus, and an opt-in form to capture your prospects' email addresses. Next, insert a re-direct link to the site where you're promoting affiliate products, so as soon as a visitor signs up, they're bound to see what you've got to offer.
Do try out this tactic. It works like magic all the time.
Secret Tactic # 3:- Make Sure You Drive Targeted Traffic To Your Website
If you want to generate huge pay cheques as an Affiliate Marketer, this is one factor you need to really focus on. We all know that if the traffic you're getting is not targeted, then the products you're promoting *aren't* going to be snapped up fast.
So what should you do to attract qualified, laser-targeted traffic? Well, one easy method is to write articles related to affiliate marketing and submit these to various article directories. Include a resource box containing a link to your site, so that people can click through.
Now these are qualified prospects, because they've taken the time to read your article, and are interested in learning more. And if they find your site useful and of high quality, you can be sure to see some cheques rolling in.
So implement these tactics today, watch your profits grow and.... leave your competitors biting the dust.
You Don't Want To Know
Robert Half Executive Director, Katherine Spencer, said in Certification Magazine that it's estimated that between 70 and 80 percent of all jobs are filled by people who first heard about the position through word of mouth.
Kinda shoots holes in the whole notion that your resume gets you a job. The amazing thing is this information is not new. We discovered along time ago that you don't get a job with a resume. Why? Because today's savvy employers rely on much more to make a hiring decision.
For example, they want to know that you're interested enough in being part of the team that you've taken the time to learn something about the organization and its goals. They want to hear you discuss how you're going to make a difference to their organization. Resume writers can't provide that.
But the truly amazing part is that most job candidates who have acquired a face-to-face meeting with a decision-maker who could be their next boss did so because some person intervened--not a resume. That intervention could be information or referral provided by a relative, friend, neighbor, religious or political leader, service club member, someone they do business with, etc.
In fact, Ms Spencer's statistic, which should give serious pause to resume writers, is an authentication of the ?alternative job search? and ?non-traditional career advancement? movement. That's because we discovered many years ago that the job market follows the same marketing rules as the business market.
You don't seriously grow a business by shot gunning and mass distributing untargeted information randomly to lots of people in the hope that someone will buy what you're selling. Businesses don't do that if they want to stay in business. Or they're willing to burn up their budget while waiting to see who calls in.
Businesses succeed through person-to-person contact. It's called sales. And the same thing is true of finding a job. Resume writers cannot provide a substitute for personal intervention. Nothing is going to happen for you based on a resume--unless you've got weeks and months to wait for results from this crapshoot.
But the good news is there's a systematic approach that takes advantage of the real way the job market works. It uses 21st Century strategies and techniques to accomplish the goal of getting you a job offer . . . and in record time!
It's built on the credible statistic that most jobs are ultimately obtained through word of mouth. This amazing system is really a simple, step-by-step approach using proven marketing principles. They're easy to master. And you see results almost immediately. In fact, you can be meeting face-to-face with your next boss in a matter of days. And entertaining a good job offer is as little as two weeks! Resume writers go figure.
