10 Ways You Can Really Make Money Selling Affiliate Products

Effective Affiliate Promotion Tactics

The other day a got a call from a someone who found me through my Google Place business profile, yep those little free web sites actually work. After introducing ourself, shoot a quick question, "can you really make money selling affiliate products?" I felt his frustration, so instead of just giving him a simple "YES", I decide to learn more about what he really think or knew about affiliate marketing, online advertising, and Internet marketing in general.

Right away he told me that he has been trying to sell other merchants products for about 3 years without any good results and he was ready to quit the whole web marketing thing for good. He has been reading all kind of articles, blog posts, and ebooks he found online. He also sign up for every single business newsletter on his path. I told him that his first mistake was that he was

5 Mistakes To Avoid When Choosing An Affiliate Program & 5 Tips To Choosing The Right Affiliate Program

When people decide to join an affiliate program to make extra money, or to have a full time job, they often do so with illusions and no idea of how the affiliate program actually works. Read the following top 5 mistakes people make when it comes to choosing an affiliate program and avoid these mistakes at all costs. Then, you will be able to be more effective and make more money for your time, so it is definitely worthwhile to read these warnings and avoid them.

#1 Don’t Compete, Support
Too many affiliate programs compete against their competitors which wastes money and puts affiliates out of business. However, if you are part of an affiliate program the more affiliates the better for getting more information and more money. One of the worst things to do is choose an affiliate program that believes in competing against other affiliates. Instead, choose an affiliate program that agrees with supporting and growing other affiliates to have a larger network and access to more affiliates.

#2 Little Reward
Another mistake people frequently make when choosing affiliate programs is choosing a program that offers little reward for the individual’s hard work. Too many affiliate programs pay too little and as a result affiliates find it difficult to make the money they should be making. Look for an affiliate program that has a good pay rate for your work.

#3 Old Statistics, if Any
You want an affiliate program that offers good, solid, real time statistics, not old statistics or ones that are no longer valid. There are not many affiliate programs out there that provide the kind of statistics an affiliate manager needs, but do your best to find an affiliate program that offers the most.

#4 No Support
Too often affiliates find themselves waiting days for an answer to an e-mail and an important question for their business. You want an affiliate program that guarantees you support round the clock if possible or at least within 24 hours. If not, keep looking for an affiliate program that wants to help you help yourself.

#5 Fresh Ideas, Creative’s
Many affiliate programs provide few ideas or creative’s to their affiliates and so thousands of web pages end up with the same advertising. However, affiliate programs would have a better success rate if many different ads were made available so affiliates could alternate ads and place different ads on different sites, depending on the products sold.

Commit these five mistakes to memory so you know exactly what you are looking for in an affiliate program, as well as what to avoid. You will be much more successful and happier as well if you do not get caught in these traps!

5 Tips To Choosing The Right affiliate program

Affiliate programs can be a great way to make money online. You don't have to spend time developing your own product, worry about taking orders, or take care of customer service.

If you already have a high traffic website or run an e-zine you can stand to earn a steady flow of commissions every month without a lot of extra work on your part.

To help you get started promoting affiliate programs, I've provided the following 5 tips to help you choose the affiliate programs that are right for you.

1. Choose affiliate programs that match the content of your site. If your site targets a niche market than choose affiliate programs that offer products to that niche market.

2. Choose affiliate programs that pay a high commission. For example 30%-50% on your direct sales.

3. Join affiliate programs that pay two-tier commissions. This enables you to not only earn commissions on your own sales but also on the sales of people who you introduce to your affiliate
program.

4. Join affiliate programs that offer a line of products so that you can earn commissions when your referrals come back and purchase other services or products.

5. Join affiliate programs that offer their affiliates great marketing support. Many affiliate programs offer their affiliates pre-written ads to use or get ideas from, sales letters, marketing courses, and articles to use in promoting their services.

Remember, the best affiliate programs will see their affiliate program as a partnership with you and combine high commissions with excellent support so that you can start earning money
promoting their products as quickly as possible.

Twitter Is Going To Un-Cloak Your Affiliate Links: Are You Ready?

By Luis Galarza - Gamevertising.

The real question here is: What will happened with conversions and your ROI when Twitter start un-cloaking your affiliate links!...

Yes, my affiliate friends Mashable announced yesterday that Twitter is changing the way they display links, this is great for avoiding getting send to a site with malware, viruses, trojans, and other phishing Internet attacks. But, for ethical online marketers this can mean that your conversions can go from hero to zero depending on the campaign, for example if you link to ugly Clickbank or Amazon affiliate links directly this will indeed lower your conversions.

Now, covering or cloaking your links is not unethical, is actually a good way to avoid commissions thief from stealing from you. The problem is that if you are a marketer with zero budget to invest or no knowledge of HTML at all, your revenue can be in jeopardy.

Here is why:

"The first change is the auto-wrapping of links with the t.co short URL. This URL will replace twt.tl, which the company has been using to shorten links in direct messages for several months. However, you won’t see t.co appear very often — if at all — on Twitter.com or your favorite Twitter app, because the company is changing how links are treated on the platform.

Whenever it’s possible to display a longer link, Twitter will display that URL information so that users aren’t fooled by obscure links that turn out to be malware. Twitter’s example is http://www.amazon.com/Delivering-Happiness-Profits-Passion-Purpose/dp/0446563048/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1275966329&sr=8-1%22, which links to Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh’s new book. In a text message, you’d see the link automatically turned into a t.co link (due to the SMS character limit), but on Twitter.com, it will display either part of the link (amazon.com/Delivering-), the page title or the entire link. What will exactly be displayed has yet to be decided.

Second, t.co links will be routed through a service that will eventually make t.co part of the Promoted Tweets algorithm. That means the links you click will determine what ads are displayed in Twitter’s new system. Twitter is also looking to provide analytics from t.co data for companies using Twitter’s commercial accounts service. The routing will also check whether the link in question comes from a malicious source, thus preventing malware and phishing attacks."

Source: Mashable.



The Solution.

The solution is simple, if you read my post about bad Twitter marketing tactics you should avoid, you already know that posting direct links to an affiliate page or sales-page if you are a merchant is a big NO, NO! Just like the rules for any social network, you need to build connections and relationships, don't sell, instead pre-sell.

The right marketing method to apply here is:

1. Find the affiliate products related to your niche.
2. Create or get the distribution rights of a good small report about the same subject.
3. Build a squeeze page to generate leads.
4. Send subscribers to the affiliate salespage right after subscribing.
5. Set up an autoresponder follow up system, to get more sales.
6. Build a close relationship with your leads.
7. Generate more income from back-end offers.

And yes, you can do all that with free marketing resources. Here are the ones your should use:

• Find products on Clickback or check this huge list of CPA networks.
• To build your landing page you can use Webs.com.
• Get free private label right products at PLRWholesaler.
• For autoresponders the best free service I have found is MailChimp.

As you can see you can easily and for free have your campaign or a brand new online business up and running in no time.



Your Tweet.

OK, let's come back to how your to tweet your promotions... I'm not a fan of tweeting anything that have to be with selling products, I prefer a different approach which helps me build a strong following, and increase my level of authority in my field. But, if you still want to tweet promotions, here is what you need to do after Twitter applies their new linking system:

1. - Send your followers to a landing page on your site, this way you don't link to ugly referrals URLs. Your landing page can be:

• An article.
• Lead generating form.
• A review of the product you promoting.
• A blog post about the product.
• A list a the basics stuff people need.
• Etc..

2. - Find a merchant that offers a giveaway, then write an article or a blog post promoting the offer, and tweet the article for your followers to see.

3. - Get whole of discount coupons that from one of the merchants you are promoting and tweet it with a little details, this way you can tweet the ugly URL without any problem. Hey, anyone can appreciate a good deal.

4. - Another technique used very successfully, is the promotion of a mega bonus. Where you create a landing page with an exclusive bonus for your followers when they purchase a product or service through your affiliate link.

5. - Don't over do it... It doesn't matter how many strategies you use, everything is fine as soon as you don't over tweet your promotions...
