The Correct Way to Promote Affiliate Products: Step by Step
1. Pick a niche market. You need to find a niche market where money can be made. I personally like to find niche markets that are "sub niches" of larger markets. For instance, if I was going to enter the weight loss niche, I would specifically target women over 40 who want to lose weight (Just an example).
2. Setup a Squeeze Page. A squeeze page is what you will use to collect the names and email addresses of the people within your target market. A squeeze page does not have to be professionally designed, and it does not have to be loaded with content. The sole purpose of a squeeze page is to turn website visitors into subscribers. To do this, you need to give away a free report or e-course. In this particular example, you might give away a free report saying "5 Underground Weight Loss Tips for Women Over 40." You really want to give away a product that will peak the interests of your target market.
3. Drive Traffic to your squeeze page. So now that you have a great product to build your list, how are you going to get people to your website? Driving traffic is the cornerstone of internet marketing, and it is almost impossible to sell a product or service without traffic. There are many different traffic strategies, and if I went into each strategy (In depth) I use it would take hours! What I can tell you is that Article Syndication, Document sharing, Classified Ads, and Video Marketing are all great ways to drive traffic to your squeeze page.
4. Build a relationship with your list. Building a relationship with your list is one of the most important factors to be successful online. If you are going to promote affiliate products to your list, and expect them to buy from you consistently, then you must earn their trust. My advice is to send out a newsletter once per week that is packed with quality content related to your niche market. Point them to resources that will improve their lives, and they will often times reward you by buying the products or services that you sell. You can throw in a paid offer occasionally, but I have found that emailing your list more than 2-3 times per week is ineffective.
5. Help First, Sell Second. One way to kill your affiliate marketing career is to try and make a quick buck from your list. Think about managing your list as if they were close family or friends. Only recommend products that you feel will genuinely benefit them, and also make sure that you provide them with a ton of free information to help them out.
Trying to get a "one off" sale is very difficult these days, because online consumers are becoming more and more intelligent when it comes to purchasing products or services online. This is why I know my method is a successful, proven method to generate consistent affiliate income online.
