Other ways to sell affiliate product. Any ideas?

[nostih]

I have a good affiliate product to sell but my problem is the entire 1st page of Google is all authority sites each having thousands of links.


I know my chances of ranking for any of my keywords is probably impossible.

Are there any other ways I can promote the product without using PPC?

Since many people do not go to the 2nd page of Google, are there any other ways I can make a sale?

[grumpyjacksa]

have you tried extending the keyword string ?

just adding one word to it could cut the competition to a fraction.

and many times without killing the traffic. remember it's better to get 10 % of 1000 searches a month than to get 0 % of 1000,000

Not a single website ranks #1 for all keywords.
Long Tail Keywords are quite easy to rank for (even without backlinks)
Just make sure you have an adequate title, description, and that the html-body contains your keyword-phrase a couple of times.
You'll see some good results in no time.

Write articles and using keywords, Squidoo lenses using your keywords, blogs, etc. and promote them. Put up some back links and think laterally. Hope this helps

Instructions

1. Step 1
   Following your passionate leads you to high profitable market in the future. The first critical step you must do is to discover your passionate and your interested markets on the internet. With your passionate, it will lead finally you to highly successful in the future. It is not possible if you have no any passionate or interests. Your hobbies, expertise and interests can be a great passionate for earning money on the internet. Without any limitations, you can check yourself what things you are happy to do when you have free time or you want to do the most all the time. Without your passionate, there is a doubt that how you can become highly successful in the long term.
2. Step 2
   Doing an effective research in the right way helps you to find profitable products. When you find your own passionate or niche market, the next critical step is to discover hot selling products or services to sell online. With those products and services, you can start making money fast easy on the internet at home now. In order to locate products that sell online, you need to understand what people already want to buy. Finding a good choice of idea or product is always accompanied by interfacing the demand for the product in the current market and the level of competition or market share that the product will be having in the long run. There are many places for your researches to discover hot selling affiliate products. For example, you can search by search engines, you can read articles from article directories, or you can join the major well known forums.
3. Step 3
   Digging down the demand in the market is the most effective way to understand market and needs. Your goal for researching your demand in your market is that you must be able to understand and satisfy the need, wants and expectations of your customers on a certain product that they are trying to buy. This three are called the basic needs or minimum requirements in a purchase. Needs are the basic reasons or the minimum requirements consumers are looking for in a product or service. They are called the qualifying or "gatekeeper" dimensions in a purchase. Wants are the determining dimensions among many choices. Expectations, on the other hand, are values or intangibles associated with a product or service. Expectations are actually part of “wants”, but they become extremely important when products or services are not differentiated.
   
   For example, in reading a logic book, university students look for the following: relevant logic concepts use of simple language, easy to understand and affordable prices. These similar ideas can be applied to "Affiliate Sales" as well. After all, the Internet is just another place to sell products or services. The basic concept of demand is the same there as it is anywhere else, and has been all the time.
4. Step 4
   Considering the level of competitors in the market is a wise choice. It is obvious that another factor for your research in order to find "hot" selling products in your niche markets is the level of competitors. The market share or level of competitors means the ratio of your brand sales versus the total market sales. While merchants would naturally define its target competitors, it is actually the affiliate marketers who ultimately decide the competitive frame or the list related affiliate products or services that consumers consider when exercising their purchasing power. You must therefore choose the market segment where you can have a potential leadership or at least a strong challenger role. Because the overriding objective of getting into this affiliate marketing business is not just to satisfy the needs and wants of our customers but to do so profitably better than other affiliate competitors. Otherwise, your competition will end up satisfying the customers better than your own interest.
5. Step 5
   Listing all benefits of affiliate marketing programs is a great idea to understand more about the affiliate product. Once you identified a number of your competitors in your niche markets, then you should discover a list of benefits for those affiliate products. With the benefits, you are selling the products to your customers. Meanwhile, you are only telling the products to your customers if you list their feature, not real benefits. In other words, it is obvious that there is a different point between benefits and features. Benefits sell and Features tell!
6. Step 6
   Walking through the general information of affiliate products provided by merchants is the useful information. Another factor to be considered in finding hot selling affiliate products is finding out the general interest level about the product. General interest in a product helps to gauge where your demand and competition numbers fall into the big picture. If there is not much demand for the product, and there is not much competition, it would seem that it might not be great to put up for sales.
7. Step 7
   Learning from merchants or other competitors' advertisement is a good idea to start. There is one last thing to be considered to exactly find the hot selling affiliate products that you have been looking for. You must also learn how others are advertising those affiliate products. If there are a good number of them doing so, it may mean that it is a good product to get into.
8. Step 8
   Analyzing and evaluating the collected information you have is your final step to discover hot selling affiliate products. Obviously, it is coming to the last step of the process. It is analyzing and evaluating all the information that has been collected. You have to look at all of the data you have collected on demand, competition, and advertising, and make decision as how they all balance out. In this step, only you can tell yourself that the affiliate products are worthwhile to promote and sell on the internet or not.

Are you on Twitter? I wouldn't recommend pushing an affiliate product through it, but you can use Twitter to drive traffic to your blog.

[Mustafa Khundmiri]

Long tail keywords, that's what you need to focus on. And if you've got the money, try PPC. But do it only when you feel you've got good guidance.

[Spencer Haws]

Ezine Article, Ezine Articles, Ezine Articles. you can get loads of traffic with articles.

Ron,

You can do what Norma has said and I do think that if you do this on a consistent basis, you will get some decent FREE traffic from the search engines.

I did a lot of experiments over the years with all sorts of advertising techniques and came to MY own conclusion that PPC is the best out there. Again, this is what has been working for me.

All I can say: Good luck man and I do hope that you take action and succeed whether it is my suggestions or others here.

Have you looked into "Placed Advertisements"? If you know how to do it properly, you can get a lot more visibility than standard search. Just make sure that you actually physically view the page that you're targeting to see if the Adsense on that page is visible to readers. Good luck!

[Zemalf]

As others mentioned, look for longer phrases with enough search volume and interest. And look for the words that the people most likely to buy would use for a search.

[adiknight]

You can publish articles that have indirect affiliate links i.e. you publish a domain name within your article that automatically forwards on to your aff link

[Ian Middleton]

Hi Ron,

Why not have a go at writing an article or two yourself and submitting them with a link to the affiliate product in the bio box. Don't forget to include your affiliate ID!!

Have you considered setting up a blog and using that to promote your product?

You could also visit weebly.com to set up a free website and free hosting. I know it is not what the experts will suggest but if cash is tight - why not?

I hope that helps a bit?

Ian

Write articles about the product that you are promoting then submit them to articles directories

[Troy_Phillips]

Now everyone on here has figured out I go at things bass ackwards but here we go .

Find a plr that is closely related to the product you promote .

Give it away to everyone you can . Twitter is a great place to give away free stuff. Also (I know a lot will disagree) if it is make money at home related free stuff that helps internet marketers works well on traffic exchanges and safelist .

I can easily direct 200 + visitors a day to a freebie from twitter alone and not piss anyone off.

The deal is take all of this free traffic and direct them to an opt in to receive the freebie . Let the thank you redirect take them to a warm up page for the product you are an affiliate for , then to the actual affiliate sales page . If they buy great ... if not you can try ... try again since you have their information .

[dsmpublishing]

Have you tried Twitter many get a great result from sales on there especially through affiliate links. Many will watch out for sellers advertising their own products and then retweet (RT) the same product with their affiliate link.

kind regards
