The best path to follow as an affiliate marketer. An ultra effective path for long term success...
I am about to reveal to you the best path you must follow as an affiliate marketer to achieve success. The path is ultra effective...
It works and it always works... There's no way it won't work. Although I have to admit, I have strayed away from the path for years. So pay close attention and read every word of this post.
- First of all your goal
Set your monetary goal before you even begin. That's whats necessary. How much money do you really want to earn? $100 a day or $200 a day or $1000 a month.
If you are starting out, set a goal of $600 a month. One sale a day is good. Most of the intermediates like me still have trouble with this coz we stray away from the path.
- Break your goal down. Let's suppose your goal is to earn $1000 a month. It means five sites that earn you $200 a month or 10 sites that earn you $100 a month or 20 that earns you $50 a month.
- Find a hungry crowd. There are variations to step 3. You can otherwise choose an extremely good product to promote and then move on to target the niche. If you know a good product, then good for you.
Let's start with choosing an extremely good product to promote.
- Don't start with clickbank yet. With clickbank, you will have to fail a lot to get on the top and it's going to tamper your spirt right away if you aren't strong.
- Choose amazon or commission junction, markethealth, linkshare, etc etc. Find a prodcut that's earning at least 0.40$ per click on $40 odd in EPC. There are many products in commission junction. Otherwise look for new offers that interest you.
- Register a domain on the product keyword. Ask the aff manager whether it's prohibitted. If they have no problems, then by all means register it.
- Install a wordpress blog. Install jeff johnson's traffic getting seo plugin. Optimize your blog, permalink and all that little stuff.
- Create a review for the product you are promoting. Personal experience of the product based reviews tend to sell better. I'm not sure. It doens't matter.
Just have a review of about 1000 words created. If you can't do it, there are some people who do $1 for 100 word review. Pay the $10 and get a good review done.
- Google keyword research. Enter the product brand name and look for other related keywords. Find about 10-20 good keywords. Write articles for each of those keywords. Post all these articles and the review on your blog. Make sure your homepage displays the review.
- Take the 10-20 articles(if you outsource this, you'll be spending anywhere between $60-$150) and submit them to ezinearticles. If you have senuke and it does not crash like it does for me, use it to mass submit your articles and create links. Otherwise use this free article submission software: Article Submission Software – Article Submitter 100% Auto & Free!
- RSS. Create rss accounts and submit your website and article feeds using feedage.com all the time.
- Ping your articles.
Move on to product 2 in the same niche or some other niche. In under a month, you'll have your first sale and in the following months it'll be five to ten sales a month(which will be $100 to $200 per month).
Specifications for product selection:
- Product name should get at least 1000 or more searches per month. If it doesn't have enough search volume because it's new, look for other niche keywords.
- The market should be hungry irrespective of the product. Look for competitors and check their adwords competition. If it's high, you are guaranteed to make money.
Let's calculate the time it would take you to implement this method:
1. Researching and finding a good product to prompte - 120 minutes
2. Domain, wordpress blog, optimization, account creation(for article directories) and rss stuff. - 120 minutes.
3. Review - 60 minutes.
4. Keyword research to find related keywords - 15 minutes
5. Researching content to write about - 45 minutes
6. Writing the articles - 20 minutes for each article. A total of 400 minutes for 20 articles. Submititng them(submit them one a day for one month to eza. once eza approves, do the other submissions).
7. Submission. Most of it will be automated if you use ASHELPER. But let's say it takes you another 100 minutes along with pinging.
Total time - 100+400+60+60+120+120=860 minutes. A total of 15 hours. That's two days full time work. If you're working part time, then its one week's work.
So it takes one week for each product. Work on this for 90 days or three months. By the end of the three months, you'll have 12 sites.
You will be starting to see money flow in. And more and more money will flow in.
here are the reasons why this method isn't easy to implement:
- no instant sales. no insant gratification
- you need mature, long term thinking.
- if the product sucks or the site doesn't rank, you may not make money.(I don't know if you won't make money because my site is not even in the top 10 but i'm still making)
- product selection is important which isn't easy for most of us.
ARE YOU READY FOR SUCCESS? If so, make a commitment to stick with this plan for 90 days. It's going to work for you. There are guys who are selling WSOs of this very method.
You will be making at least $3000 a month within a year if you follow this plan. THINK MATURE AND LONG TERM.
You can't make 100K this year right away. Build your base so that you can focus on list building and hungry crowds later on.
