How to find success in Affiliate Marketing?

Affiliate marketing like most any marketing.. there are 3 basic elements. there is traffic, a pitch and a sale.

There are umpteen thousands of variations for this most basic principle.

Traffic: regardless of how you get it, what you pay for it, or you don't pay for it, it ALL comes down to targeting. Putting the right people with the right motivation in front of your offer. If I am selling a weight loss plan for post pregnant women.. getting men to the page more than likely will not help me much.

The Pitch: Most often this comes in the form of a landing page. How and what this page looks like and says is dependent on the sales page. You will want to look at the products sales page, and basically set that page up. In sales terms this would be called Pre-Qualifying. Using the example above... Just had a baby and wanting to shed a few pounds? Read this report on how to blah blah blah... then send them to the "offer" ( sales page )

The Sale: this is the part that you usually do not have control over. I personally find the success in this process is looking at how the Author of the product wrote up their pitch page. Generally speaking these people will have tested the success of this stuff,so the better you can replicate the Pitch.. the better your sales will be.

That's the basics anyways!

Hope that Helps!
