The Most Important Skill In AFFILIATE MARKETING

The most important part of affiliate marketing for me is building my email list, I love to provide value for my subscribers, you see when my subscribers do well, this empowers me to provide even more value for them...

I have transitioned these days to video and it makes sense because of the conversions.

However salesmanship in print, will never get old. They say that; the pen is mightier than the sword.

I'm not the expert here, so on a general level, would you not need to know where to put that message first, Your Target Audience ?

As any well written / video message in front of the wrong audience is not worth a cracker. You could be writing the very best copy in the world and it may be A bit like trying to sell Vegans a special on the latest Spring Lamb Chops.

Creativity is the most important skill of a successful affiliate marketer. The most successful affiliate marketers design innovative marketing campaigns and strategies(think out of the box), develop unique brand identities and provide engaging content to their customers.

Getting the right traffic would have to be up there. I've seen some bad sales pages still generate revenue, but getting traffic from the right audiences is one of the more challenging tasks to accomplish.

The most important thing in affiliate marketing is the traffic you build . It will determine who buys from you.

Actually i heard lot of about affiliate marketing but didn't try it before. But your content will help me. Thanks

It's important, but not even close to being the most important.

As an affiliate, it's even less important considering you are sending people to SOMEONE ELSES sales pages.

There's a lot more than ONE thing that goes into creating an online business.
Target Profile
Relevant Offers
Differentiation
Engagement


Here's the thing: Most people who are affiliates, are not going to become great copywriters anyway. I mean, if they can't put their own products together, how the fudge are they going to learn to write copy good enough to NOT turn people OFF?

Bad copy is worse than no copy in most cases.

What happens BEFORE you send someone to a sales page, is far more important.

The most important skill in affiliate marketing is the ability to identify your target audience and know all the paid and free method to reach them. For example, if you are going through the free route, all you need to do is brainstorm and do keyword research and build articles using long tails keywords. Then you create a blog which has a collection of the optimised articles, Then at the bottom of every article , you can create a link to the optin page and affiliate offer. Share those articles in popular sites. Traffic will start to follow as your page gets ranked in Google.

Hi everyone!

I know each of us are different! That's why the most important is different to each of us
It's good to learn from each other, it's good to learn from all of you

List building is the most important as far as I'm concerned.

Email is a distribution channel that no one can take away from you because you own the list (which is a real asset). Where most other channels you have no real control of because your just a user of it.

Plus you can follow up and promote additional offers at very little cost. Which is key if you want to be successful at affiliate marketing.

I think the most important skill in affiliate marketing is:
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

Also, the content you create quite vital. If it is convincing, you get more sales.

Copywriting is a skill. An audience you can contact regularly is an asset.

Skills and assets are both important.

I'm not that good at copywriting, but I am growing 3 assets:
1) a website that:

• sends traffic to a Facebook group
• gets email list subscribers

2) an email list that:

• sends traffic to the website/offers
• sends traffic to the Facebook group

3) a Facebook group that

• sends traffic to the website/offers
• get's email list subscribers

I do spend time along the way trying to improve my copywriting skills, but that can not be the only thing I spend time on.

In my opinion i think the most important thing its the quality of knowing to add the most value to people .Adding the best value will reward you more

An easy way to think of it...

This entire affiliate marketing gig is matchmaking.

You're matching up the ideal product with the people who need it most.

I know it sounds corny... but think of affiliate marketing like a dating service.

You're bringing together 2 people who would work well together.

Well, same thing with affiliate marketing.

A LOT of the success in matchmaking will come before you even
match the 2 people up.

You gotta find people with similar wants and needs, similar problems
they want solved... and then match them with things that work for them.

So, the message or copy isn't really as important as making sure
you're matching up 2 people with what they're both looking for...
and that you do before the message/copy.

So, back to matchmaking... find people with an issue that keeps
them up at night, and then find a product or service that can help
them sleep better at night... and you'll make a sale more often than not...
even if the copy sucks.

Think of it as matchmaking... bringing together the perfect
product with the perfect lead looking for that solution... and you'll
do well even without good copy.

I saw that a lot of you guys are asking about building a list from scratch

You can easily do it by create something call SQUEEZE PAGE

You can create 100% free whenever you use almost any kind of autoresponder service out there

No hosting and domain required.

Unless you want to have a better conversions, then you will need to have hosting and domain to optimize

But at the beginning, free from autoresponder service is good enough to practice

After you have your first squeeze page

You are good to go, let's start driving visitors to it

That squeeze page is going to help you to build your list

and you can build a buyer list from that list

I hope this help

Ok, Got It, Thanks for sharing the very informative information.

Targeted traffic is the lifeblood of your affiliate business.

The purpose of sales is to help customers solve problems. Customers don't understand the features and functions of the product, but they are very interested in the ability to solve their own problems and relieve their pain. The focus of sales is on the pain of the customer or the problem they are eager to solve, not your product. If you help customers solve problems, customers will accept you, trust you, and welcome you.

The true skill is targeting your appropriate audience to provide the right offer. With this mastered you get quality traffic.
