Affiliate Marketing For Beginners - Part 4 & 5

Filed Under Affiliate Marketing 

Hey, It’s Mike with AffiliatePayDay, the affiliate marketing for beginners guide, with part four and five of the Affiliate Marketing For Beginners 10 Keys To Success course.

Today we will combine two lessons, since they are closely tied together. Today we cover marketing your website and your affiliate products.

Market your web site

You have to let the online community know about your site. Just because you now have a web site, doesn’t mean people will come.

You will be competing with millions of other websites. People and search engines won’t even know that your site exists, if you don’t do some things to get noticed.

To get noticed, submit online press releases related to your niche, submit your site to social bookmarking services, create content on high PR sites, like Squidoo , Weebly or Hubpages.

Create incoming links by posting appropriate, quality comments on blogs that are dofollow blogs. This is a fairly new strategy that not many know about.

I have a new blog dedicated to dofollow blogs, what dofollow blogs are, and how to identify dofollow blogs.

Please respect the blog owners who are giving you link credit by posting good comments.

Write unique quality articles and submit them to article directories. This is sometimes called Bum Marketing, and is a very good strategy for gaining incoming links and traffic.

Market your affiliate products

After you have a consistent number of visitors, it’s time to promote the affiliate products you’re selling. This is usually done with a sales page that is part of your web site.

A sales page is basically an article listing the benefits of your product, and what it will do for your niche audience. Benefits can be “it can improve the quality of your life”, “learn the secrets the experts don’t want you to know”, “learn the step by step system that a 26 year old used to become a millionaire”.

These sales page benefits may seem exaggerated, but they work and they aren’t uncommon.

If you’re not experienced in writing a sales page, learn to copyright - there a large number of copyright courses available online. Or, hire a professional ghostwriter to write your sales page for you.

Use the same strategies you used to market your website to market your sales pages - press releases, articles, dofollow blogs etc.

The next “Affiliate Marketing For Beginners 10 Keys To Success” post will be related to building an email list.

    Thanks this a useful series of posts. I find affiliate marketing to be very hard work, I have never even made enough to cash out a check on any of the sites or programs. I find contextual ads like Adsense to be an easier option to make money online. Thanks for th info.

  2. Larry from Commercial Lighting on July 21st, 2008 12:37 pm

    Great Series of posts…I think people still don’t fully understand how affiliate marketing works.

  3. PPC Marketing Dublin on July 23rd, 2008 9:50 am

    It is definitely good to start with the basics — affiliate marketing is easy to earn but best learned when you’ve got the basics of web marketing down. Just awareness of how to increase online presence through online social media is great to start with.

  4. Chelle from Pittsburgh Moving Services on July 24th, 2008 3:34 pm

    I just learned of the keyword luv plug-in. To me that coupled with do-follow is one of the nicest ways to attract & show some appreciation to the loyal readers.

    Also another article site worth mentioning is Associated Content. If you’re good with keywords you can have a page that hits the front page of google fast and drip some links to your site & products.

  5. olly from Gibson Guitars on July 25th, 2008 8:13 am

    Very uselful here. I heard that 90% of sales will be made by 10% of affiliates. That means most people fail without the correct knowledge in place

  6. Skip Hire on July 27th, 2008 10:33 am

    Yes. Affiliate marketings seems to be dominated by people like Shoemoney. There’s only scraps for the rest of us.

  7. Angular Cheilitis on August 4th, 2008 9:38 am

    Another marketing trick I use is video. Make a really quick video and blast it out to YouTube, Veoh, and all the video marketing sites. People love video.

  11. Jackie from Keyword Research Revealed on September 16th, 2008 9:56 am

    Interesting article. I think what most people fail to train people new to affiliate marketing how to do is keyword research.

    Doesn’t seem to matter which book you buy, it says do good keyword research, but no one ever tells you what that is.

    I had NO success in affiliate marketing until I finally figured out keyword research. For me, it’s the best way to send free, targeted traffic to your affiliate website.

    Affiliate marketing is not easy. It takes a lot of work, but if you build something that is sustainable then it could provide income for a very long time. That is why I prefer SEO as opposed to PPC.

    Affiliate marketing is not something which has limits now. I think it is totally a full subject which should be taught all over the world. I am wondering why we don’t have proper training institutes. We should have such facilities to be trained. Anyways, blogs are only survival for all our trainings and knowledge.

    You can combine an affiliate marketing scheme with a managed targeted adwords campaign in order to get the benefits inmediately. Later on you can concentrate more on SEO to get free traffic from SEs.

  35. admin from london escorts on June 13th, 2009 12:14 am

    I really Like the idea of allowing people to comment and get a keyword with a link out there. It’s helpful but certainly a win win situation for people who take the time to post a sincere comment. Much appreciated.
