Creating your own product is not a problem, but in spite of that, you may still prefer to take advantage of the way you can use other people’s email series, sales pages, marketing tools, and products, to adopt as part of your online business-building strategy.
Affiliate marketing is no easier in some ways, but it’s still hard to beat if you wish to concentrate purely on marketing and do not have time or knowledge to create your own sales pages etc.
Done correctly, there’s a lot of profit to be make from this business. Knowing your market, affiliating yourself with a product, and how to market it, are prime aspects of this business, with which you’ll need to familiarize yourself.
The following steps show you how you how you can write winning articles about affiliate marketing.
1. Niche research. Before dipping in to sign up for the first affiliate product you find, undertake some research through keywords, forums and online platforms where your target market make themselves known. If you’re undecided upon which niche to choose, either have a wander around somewhere like the Warrior forum, or simply type popular Internet niches into our search engine, and consider the most highly sought-after one or two, with respect to what appeals to you and, or, your knowledge of the topic.
2. When you’ve decided your niche, you can do deeper research for keywords and products. There are hundreds and hundreds of products for every niche you can think of, so don’t start worrying about too much competition. Competition’s healthy. Look at sites like ClickBank.com and choose your product. It’s best to go for something with “gravity” higher than 10 and at least $20 in commission. If you’re new, you can sign with CB for free – it’s just a simple form. Each product owner will ensure that all your needs are at your disposal – an email series, banners, links, sales pages, etc.
3. The best way to get exposure to the people to whom you wish to promote is via an opt-in list. But if you’re not at “list building” stage yet – and I would urge you to as soon as possible – forums are your best place to start. Join, and develop a presence in the ones that closely relate to the topic of your product.
4. Affiliate marketing is a deep subject for which there’s enormous scope for article writing; the points above offer a taster of areas ripe for expanding upon in “how to” articles.
