Make Money Online With These Quick Affiliate Marketing Tips!

By Annie Copenhaver


Perhaps there's no other genre in the history of the world that has the entrepreneurial appeal of the internet. With so many millions of people logged on at any given time, there are literally trillions of dollars exchanged via the internet on a daily basis. Being a successful affiliate marketer can ensure your slice of the pie, and these tips can help you grab a big piece.

To find your audience before you even mention your product, create a series of videos. Record a short video of yourself talking about a different topic every week, or about the same topic under different angles. Post them on a popular video hosting website. Once you have enough followers, do a video about the product you are selling.

Avoid using services that hide domain ownership. It is believed that Google checks whether website owners have hidden their domain ownership information with services like Domains by Proxy and penalizes their sites by either reducing their rankings or increasing the time that the sites sit in the "sandbox," the informal name given to the ranking penalty given to new sites until they prove themselves.

If you want to make the most money from your affiliate marketing programs you have to be seen as trustworthy. If you are attracting a regular base of readers for the information that you are putting out you do not want to drive them away with ads for poor quality products or gimmicks.

To be successful with affiliate marketing you should make a free e-zine. An e-zine is an electronic magazine with features similar to a blog and an online newspaper. Use this e-zine to advertise all the different affiliate programs you have joined. Send your e-zine to different e-zine directories, and promote your e-zine on your own site.

A great affiliate marketing tip is to branch out and try out different affiliate programs. You don't have to stick with the giant networks. Go to your favorite vendor and find out if they have their own affiliate program. Each program is different, so you should never settle with just one.

Along with all the other options to account for with an affiliate marketing program, look at how ad placement affects your revenue. Certain ad positions on your site (and even on individual pages) will garner more visitor interest than others. If you track the results you get from individual positions you can fit the most profitable ads to the most visible placements, boosting your revenue.

Do your research to avoid vendors that are running scams. There are quite a few vendors out there running disreputable business. Some of the most prevalent schemes are to have bad tracking software to "miss" your commissions or actually lying on your refunds to make it seem like you are not owed any money. Check into the vendor thoroughly to avoid the scammers.

As was mentioned before in the article, affiliate programs can be a very nice source of income. However, if you're lazy and uninterested in making your site attractive to your audience, your site will surely fail. You need to put in your time and effort if you want to see any rewards.
