Affiliate Program Marketing has been around for almost as long as the Internet itself, yet most marketers are not aware of the tips that will help them make money from Affiliate Marketing. Why? Because they do not realize the psychology behind the publics’ buying decisions.
How to Make Affiliate Programs Work for You
These Affiliate Program Marketing Tips will help you understand your market and improve your conversion rate.
- Create a simple website or landing page for each Affiliate Program
- Do not mention the name of the Affiliate program in your page
- Get traffic to your page through article writing, classified ads and social media
- Use action links and text links out to the affiliate program
- Place the new affiliate disclosure in the footer of the page
A Simple Website or Landing Page:
Placing an affiliate ad or banner on your website will do little to generate any income for you. People today are buying less and much more cautious in what they purchase. By creating a simple website or landing page for each affiliate program that outlines the benefits of the program, or answers questions a potential buyer has, will give you a much better chance of a sale. Putting more than one affiliate program on a page will just confuse potential buyers. Keep it simple, one per page. We use an inexpensive host that provides unlimited websites and bandwidth for one low price for all our websites.
Why you Do Not Want to Mention the Affiliate Name
Unless the website you create is a product review site, it is better to list the benefits or problem solving aspects of the affiliate program to generate interest and excitement in potential buyers to get a click through. If you do this job well, your conversion rate and income will rise dramatically. You must sell the benefits first. Once they click through, the affiliate program should close the sale.
- The FTC now requires a disclosure on your website that states you may make money from the products you are promoting. You can get the recommended verbage online.
Promote the Website or Landing Page
Treat each website or simple landing page the same as any website, promote it. Write articles, post to classified ad sites and social media sites and get Get Backlinks.
Use Action and Text Links
A text link is just that, a link within the text of your page. These links typically do better than banner ads. Many of the affiliate programs are aware of the problems with banner ads and provide not only text links, but what I call action links.
An action link is usually provided by the affiliate program and asks the buyer a question. Here is the perfect example from one of our debt relief landing pages. Ahead of this link, we laid out the benefits of the program, how it works and what they could expect before we placed the link.
