AFFILIATE MARKETING – 5 TIPS TO WHERE DO YOU BEGIN

WHEN YOU FEEL CLUELESS!

 

When I began affiliate marketing about

four years ago, I was clueless about what to do.

If I had to start over again, this is what I would do:

 

TIP #1:  I would pick ONE niche (okay 2 at the most since most of us have Internet ADD) and

then focus all my efforts on that one niche.  I picked a particular type of dog and I still

make about one sale, sometimes two sales a month from that one site that I haven’t

touched in months (old story but it is true).  I also wrote a ton of articles and made

a Squidoo lense that points to that blog.  Although I don’t want to give away my niche

keywords, I will tell you that the best affiliate program I found that truly converts (and I’ll

tell you the secret to why that is, in a moment) are the affiliate programs that have a

great follow-up sequence of emails.  Since 2009, I have earned almost $700 from this one website

without touching it. This is the one that converts great for me for the past 2 years:

Pet Affiliate Program – Earn High Commissions

 

Tip #2  I would use a good keyword tool.  This one has a Free Trial.

I downloaded the free trial and then loved it so much, I bought the

full version.  But you don’t have to buy it, just get the Free Trial and see what you think.

I use it each time BEFORE I even think about starting up a new website because

unless you know the competition, your website and sales will be dead in the water.

I learned that the hard way.  So check out the Free Trial of Market Samarai here if you

want a good keyword tool.

 

Tip #3 Make your first dollar $1 on line and you’ll be hooked.  Then rinse

and repeat.  Don’t you just love that phrase.  Everyone makes it sound so

easy when it is not if you keep checking your Clickbank account and see

a bunch of rows of $0s.  It wasn’t until I learned some really simple clues

to Clickbank that I began to make some real money with it (in the thousands).

I’ll share that secret in a moment.  The secret is that some Clickbank products

never sell, while others sell like hotcakes.  The only way to know is to test

the waters.  I would NOT recommend PPC (pay per click) marketing since you

(me included) can burn hundreds of dollars in three days and not make one sale.

If you have some money to spend, then try it out, but Google Adwords is now

so very picky about landing pages and are weeding out affiliate marketers right

and left, that I would not recommend it.

#1  Instead, make a free blog at blogger.com.

It’s free, easy and you can add some Google

Adsense to it.

 

If it ranks highly, you can make some residual income from the adsense

over a period of time.

 

#2 Hint:  When you use Market Samarai, click the PPC option,

and it will show you the keywords that will pay you the highest adsense clicks rates.

Secret:  Insurance keywords of any kind are HIGH paying words for Adsense.

and pick a Clickbank product with a high gravity (meaning other affiliates

are selling it).  You used to be able to throw up a Squidoo lense and get it ranked

and some of them still do, but it is a bit harder now with Google’s Panda update.

The truth is ——- Google STILL loves content and you can still get traffic from

Squidoo (since people search inside Squidoo), and Blogger is owned by Google

so you can still rank there.

 

#3 Another free site is WordPress.org that gets a lot of

Google love.  So before you waste your money, test your product out with a good

product review and see what happens.

 

#4  You need to write at least 10 articles and

submit them to  article sites to see some traffic, but over time (depends

on how well you did your keyword research), you will see traffic.  After you do

your keyword research for your website name (free sites at first), then you can

use your other keywords from MS to wind around in the interesting, fascinating,

gut-grabbing title of your articles  .  When you make a sale, DON’T start

a new site, keep writing articles or go to Fiverr.com and have someone write

articles for you for 5 bucks, and keep scaling it up.  Most Newbies make the mistake

of making one sale and then moving to the next site.  Traffic and consistent

content pushing to your offer on your website is the KEY.

Adds 250 Free Auto Follows

Unfollow Users – 250 Free Auto Unfollows

Sends up to 25 Free Automated Tweets

Sends up to 25 Free Automated Direct Messages

Free use of the automation features too

 

I was also glad to see that there are 3 different downloads:

 

Windows Version

Linus Version

Mac Version (this is the one I downloaded)

 

I dragged the icon to my Applications and then opened it.

I then clicked on “user” which was my Twitter name

and I put in a targeted keyword for making money online.

 

Then, the Tweet adder added a list of names.

I then checked all of them, turned “Automation Off” to “Automation On” and

clicked on the Follow button.  The Tweet Adder went to work

automatically added up to 200 followers to my list.  It was an

awesome thing to watch this tool automate the whole process

even pausing with a time delay of 1 to 3 seconds between each “follow.”

 

This will bring many targeted followers to my webpage and continue

to build my “list” of subscribers – yay! I am loving this tool!
