Affiliate Marketing Tips to Blog




I see a lot of popular affiliate programs for bloggers and in this article I want to share some tips that will help bloggers get the best results of any affiliate program they choose to run with.


1. Consider the Audience

Do not let the audience leave without leaving the impression - this is important, placing himself as the audience and consider what they might be looking for when they surf to your blog. Are they shopping for a specific product? Could they be looking for related products or accessories? What will trigger them to buy? Start by reading the minds of your audience, not the product. If you take this approach in the end you can help the reader also gets extra income from it.


2. Recommendations and personal support always works well

There are hundreds of thousands of products and services for you to recommend it to your blog readers, but making money from them is not as simple as randomly adding links to them from your blog. Your blog readers back to your blog day after day because there is something they expect from you - they have a level of trust and respect you and the fastest way to melt this is to recommend they buy something that you fully believe will benefit them. Thus there is no reason for them not to try the recommendation from you.


3. Link to Product Quality

We all want to be sure to buy the best products, you as the reader will also not be much different and perhaps to make a purchase if you've found the best product for them. Select products and companies with good reputation and quality of a good sales too. There's nothing worse than giving too much testimonials from a product only to send your readers to a page that looks cheap but what is therein was not qualified.


4. Contextual link efektife

When I started using the Amazon Associate program, I think that all I do is put the Amazon banner ads (which connects the Amazon front page) in my blog section. I think that visitors will see it and surf to Amazon and buy a lot so that makes me rich. But in reality I have been deceiving himself.
I always say to bloggers that they should learn something from contextual advertising when it comes to affiliate programs. The secret of contextual ads like Adsense is that a reader who read the posts on a particular topic on your blog and when they saw an ad for the same product they are more likely to click than if they see an ad for something else. The same is true for the affiliate program. A banner ad on every page on your site will not be as effective as multiple links throughout your blog that the products of advertisers that are relevant to readers is to read certain parts of your blog.

Suppose you write a blog about Gaget and have a review for a particular product, the most effective affiliate program you can link to the content of the page will be one that connects directly to the page selling that particular model of Gaget. This is how I use Amazon's program today. It is more work than contextual advertising because you do not just put one piece of code to the template but individuals need to put a link on many pages.


5. Consider the position of link

One of the things that I continually optimize the placement of Adsense ads. I infokan the bloggers all to position their ads must be in hotspots on the page (like the top left side bar - or in the content - or at the end of the post above comments etc.). The same principle applies for affiliate advertising.


6. Important traffic levels

Although not the only factor, but the level of traffic clearly key to making money from almost all online activities. The more people who see your bloga placed well, affiliate links are relevant and well designed the more likely one of them will make a purchase. So do not just focus on the links course, focus on reader development is also no less important. Not only that, consider how you can drive traffic to your blog to a page where they are more likely to see your affiliate link.


7. Diversification without messing up the link

Do not put all your affiliate efforts into a single page. There are many products out there for the link so it does not need to only work on one part only. At the same time you do not have to ruin your blog with too many affiliate program links. If you do you run the risk of diluting the effectiveness of the link and can you disappoint your readers.


8. Transparent

Do not try to fool your readers into clicking links that can generate money for you. Although it may not always be feasible to label all affiliate links, I think some effort should be made to let people know what kind of links they click. I also think consistency is important so that your readers know what to expect.


9. Combine with Revenue Streams

Affiliate programs and advertising programs are not different things. I visited on a few people recently who say they do not want to do affiliate linking because it takes the focus from their Adsense ads. Although there is potential to take the focus from the others - there is also a good real potential to work hand in hand as different readers will respond to different approaches. You should consider the impact of your affiliate link that has other revenue streams as well.


10. Track results

Most affiliate programs have at least some kind of tracking or statistics package that will allow you to see which links effectively. Some of these packages are better than others, but at least most will allow you to see what sold and what is not. By looking at the results, you can help plan future efforts to affiliate. Keep track of what position to link work properly, the product being sold, what the words around the link that works well etc and use the information you collect to affiliates working strategy.


11. Building Networks

The biggest thing I've learned about affiliate marketing is that it works better larger and strengthen your network. I mentioned in my first list that 'the level of traffic is important' - this is true, but your relationship with the 'network' is also equally important.
Is it faithful blog readers and subscribers, your email list, up your friends or other social networks - the better your network the better you will do affiliate in driving sales.
It's not just about the amount of tissue you have, here are just some of what I'm talking about. The most important core of the network is the depth of relationship you have with your network / reader and the level of trust they have for you. If you have consistently helped the people and is very useful for them during a long time they may be more inclined to respond to your recommendations.
Relevance - another key part of your network is to what extent the relevance of it and how it focused on the topic you are promoting. For example - I see a lot of people compete to run a competition to build the followers as much as possible by simply bringing every follower that they can. The problem is that they end up with a large network but do not focus. I personally would rather have a smaller network that all can share and focus.

Finally, the network takes time to build - if you think you will do some affiliate marketing at some point in the future - start building your network now, before you need it. This gives you time to build deep relationships, trust and focus on your network before you start promoting your affiliate products.


12. Some of the same Product Promotions

If you write a blog post to promote affiliate products, you will have a certain percentage of readers who buy the products you offer. If you are able to follow with a different type than the post, you can strengthen future promotions.

Here's how that should be done in the promotion of affiliate:

a. Posts

Post announced a new product (if you follow these merchants have the latest product), provide some benefit, sharing of relevant products and others. include some tips or advice for readers who do not buy the product so that the posts that are useful for everyone.

b. Email List

Remove the weekly email to customers to strengthen the promotion. You can see the previous post about 'Increase sales through Email List. "


Increase your sales by building an email list

A word that is quite popular in the world of online business stating that "the money is there in eaftar email". It is true that you can make lots of money by building an email list of subscribers, build trust with customers and send special offers to customers who promote your product. But you have to do it right. Here are some tips that will help you.

1.      Collect only the information relevant to your business,

how to ask visitors to register. A study revealed that most of the companies investigated was unnecessary, given that most companies never act on the information they extract from their customers. It is important that you will know exactly what you should do with the information you have collected. In addition, you also need to be able to prove to visitors that the information you gather from them is really important to your business.
Do not make the repetition of your Customer Information In the absence of the most annoying customers when they have to repeat the same information for each channel as if they had first menerngar information. This is especially true in the case of email lists on the website.

2. Focus on your email list,

I have discussed the importance of focusing and targeting customers in the previous article. Customers currently the most important and the prospect is more than just collect email addresses. They will be more receptive to communication and a greater likelihood to respond, because they are familiar with your company and its products. Do not waste time running a promotion that attracted a large number of visitors who are not interested in your product or service.

3. Offers and Special Discounts

Special offers such as coupons and discounts direct marketing technique is very good if you pour in the form of email. In order for bids to be more effective, you must give something of real value. Minimal discounts are not enough to get the reader's attention, you must offer something of substance. Of course, do not discount lower than the profit on the transaction. Time limits on discount offers are also very important in order to stimulate into an action, it will be able to work effectively. In addition to using the internet, there are also ways that you can use that is your marketing efforts in the real world to help build your email list.

Whatever business you do, an absolute thing for you to has an email list of customers if you want to progress in business

c. Follow-up

You must melakuakan follow up on potential customers and are considering posting next week.

The key is not melakuakan spam, the motivation of your network to find ways of interesting and useful to attract new potential customers in order to strengthen sales.


13. Bonus / other facilities

There are many techniques used by Internet marketers to increase sales of their products. I find the lack of transparency and manipulation in adding value to promotional affiliation with either one of them adds a bonus to your own offering and giving to others is the product by offering a bonus or discount SPECIAL just for your readers.

I've done this several times on my blog and have been getting increased quite satisfactory.


14. It takes perseverance

A regular article, the reader will recognize that westjavaonline meendapatkan money from blogs (via any method) takes time. While affiliate programs do not have the potential to make you rich quickly. Usually the success that will come after a lot of work you do and once you've spent so much time and effort to build your network.

At the beginning of the beginning of building a network you may see a little difficulty. I personally at this stage very little is gained from affiliate marketing in the first or second year of blogging, but as I mentioned above in one or two years it really started to increase exponentially as a result of increasingly understand how the campaign should be new although some network grows in quantity and quality.
