Affiliate Marketing- List Building Strategies
Right now, one of the largest topics in the Internet Marketing world is “Affiliate Marketing”. While it has been a steadily growing hot topic for several years now, it seems to have escalated to a new level of buzz on the internet lately.A lot of high end products have been released in the last month that teach both newbies and experts how to become Affiliate Money Making Experts.Many simply train you how to promote other peoples products through a more basic approach to affiliate marketing and some are advanced training courses on what is called “CPA” marketing. Basically it all boils down to this- you make money promoting other common products.
I want to challenge you to consider being paid into affiliate marketing if you have not done so already. It is a fantastic way to make money quick and it is one of the simplest low cost business start ups you can do. Furthermore, if you do not have a product to sell, than this is your answer. You can get started now!
Check out what Internet Marketing Guru Jimmy D. Brown has to say about this topic.
How to Make a Fortune Promoting Other Common Products
By Jimmy D. Brown of “Affiliatenaire”
…………………….
There must be a reason why some affiliates make it and some
fail, a reason why some affiliates profit moderately and some
affiliates profit substantially.
There must be a reason.
There is.
And that reason is this: Super Affiliates start, sustain and
strengthen relationships with subscribers.
It starts and ends with a list. Even a tiny one can be a
powerful, profitable means if you follow these 7
guidelines…
1. CAPTURE THE OPTIN FIRST.
Instead of sending traffic directly to your affiliate link,
send them to YOUR site where you offer some kind of list for
them to join. (Hint: Mini-course works best) Once you have
them on a list, they become an asset. If you send them directly
to an affiliate page and they don’t buy, they’re gone forever.
On your list, you can follow-up with them
indefinitely.
Note: You can even redirect them to your affiliate link AFTER
they join your list, effectively being paid them where you sought after
them to go in the first place.
2. DIFFERENTIATE THE OFFER.
Instead of sending out the same, tired, lame advertisement that
every other affiliate in the world sends out, write your own.
Trust me when I say that many people find it OFFENSIVE when
they receive two dozens duplicate emails from two dozen list
owners all promoting the exact same thing in the exact same way.
And even if they don’t find it offensive, it’s not as effective
if you simply rinse and repeat what everyone else is doing.
Hint: Here’s how you differentiate…
3. SPEAK FROM EXPERIENCE.
Nothing – nothing – nothing speaks louder than RESULTS. If you
want to lose a few pounds, who do you turn to? A name who is
still struggling with their own consequence or a name you’ve seen
drop 35 pounds? Exactly.
The way you make your mailings / ads different is you speak
from your own private experience. This product or service that
you are promoting as an affiliate, how has it been helpful to you
personally?What results have you personally accomplished? When you
used it, what happened?
Note: If you haven’t personally used the product, then shame
on you for trying to make a quick buck from it hocking it to
others!
4. OFFER A COMPELLING INCENTIVE.
Another way to be different – and to dramatically increase your
chances of being paid a sale as an affiliate – is to offer some
kind of compelling incentive if a name buys the offer through
YOUR medical appointment link. Whether it’s a special report or access to
an audio recording, personalized consultation or advertising, a
private training call or existing products and services, this
can be a highly effective method of converting fence-setters
into paying customers.
In order for it to work well, it must be UNIQUE (I.E. You’re
the only one making the offer) and USEFUL (I.E. A touch of
fantastic perceived value to the reader).
Note: Don’t have anything to offer? Don’t worry! There are
many ways to easily obtain extra incentives: conduct an
interview, hire a ghostwriter to make articles / reports for
you, buy reprint rights to other products, assemble a bunch of
free articles and other resources into a private access site,
etc.
5. LOOK FOR RESIDUAL OPPORTUNITIES.
Very than exhaust your efforts on buys that give you a
one-time commission, why not make the most of your marketing by
looking firstly for offers that pay out ONGOING monthly
commissions for your referred sales?
There are many different residual income generating services
such as membership sites (ranging from Mazda Miata’s to consequence
loss), clipart and stock photos, autoresponders, hosting,
databases (from hiking trails to sermon outlines) online
magazines and a variety of other subscription based
opportunities that reward you with monthly recurring commissions.
While you certainly want a mix of types of affiliate programs
to promote, your priority should be in identifying and promoting
those services and programs that will pay you month after month,
instead of only one time.
6. BUILD A SALES ARMY.
One of the largest untapped sources of income in any list is
that of “turning subscribers into partners”. In other words,
find those on your list who are interested in making money and
provide them with training and materials to promote affiliate
programs as well.
This has a two-fold advantage for YOU:
* First, if you find 2-tier affiliate programs, you can get
your subscribers to join the curriculum through your medical appointment.
Anytime they get a sale, you’ll earn a commission as well. You
effectively get free commissions from their effort.
* Secondly, you can use their efforts to erect your own assets.
For example: If you provide them with a 10-page report to give
away to promote their affiliate link, you can include a page in
the report promoting YOUR list! You effectively get free
subscribers from their effort.
7. MONETIZE FOR MULTIPLE STREAMS.
As your own list continues to grow, you certainly want to
diversify in your offerings. (Not to the point of bombarding
your list with offers every day of course!)
* Promote other affiliate programs.
* Make your own products.
(Even small $10 reports will earn profit!)
* Establish joint ventures.
* Co-author products.
* Cross promote.
* Conduct surveys.
There are MANY ways to make money from you list and keep your
list growing, growing, growing!
Remember, it all comes down to: starting, sustaining and
strengthening relationships with subscribers.
And that’s how you make a fortune as an affiliate promoting
other common products.
