Aspiring Affiliate Marketers,
Today’s advertising is missing a very primitive, fundamental concept that is needed now more than ever in the world of affiliate product and service marketing if you are going to EVER going to succeed....TRUST.
This applies to virtually every niche market on the World Wide Web.
If you cannot TRUST the advertiser, how can you trust the product or service?
If you are currently unsuccessful in your Affiliate Marketing endeavors, I hope you find this formula helpful.
I consider this my "Six Commandments" of my Affiliate Marketing career.
"THE BLUE PRINT: SIX STEPS TO SUCCESS"
STEP ONE: Find EXCELLENT products and services to promote as an affiliate that help others that you can RELATE with achieve whatever their goal may be for that particular aspect of their life..and learn EVERYTHING about it!
This could be educational, emotional, spiritual, enlightening, inspirational, or financial. There are THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS of products which will fulfill any one or more of those needs.
STEP TWO: ESTABLISH A BLOG OR WEBSITE PLATFORM to create quality content for your readers and explain EXACTLY why YOUR product can help your reader, and hopefully, why it has helped you...ENDORSE what you promote and be honest about it.
If you can market yourself and/or your product by explaining WHY your audience needs your exceptional product well, in an honest, caring, and knowlegable manner then you will gain their trust. People will be much more likely to give your offer a chance if they trust you. PERIOD.
Think about it.
STEP THREE: OVERDELIVER YOUR CONTENT. I cannot emphasise this enough, especially if you are trying to market and sell to a difficult industry. The key to establishing trust and getting sales is actually a pretty simple concept.
Give away 90% of your information for FREE. Only sell the remaining 10%.
You will create trust, honesty, and desire. Trust me on this.
STEP FOUR: ENCOURAGE READER INTERACTION. Ask your readers to interact with you and your blog or website. Ask them to post their thoughts and opinions of the information you have provided them. If they purchase your product, you can ask them to come back to your site or blog and post their feedback after they have used the product. People in all niches love the opportunity to have their voices heard. It’s fun, unique, and if your readers agree with what you have said, they will say so and strengthen your ability to convert. Be prepared for negative feedback as well, but learn from it. Use it to strengthen and modify your blog or website. It is a "double win" situation no matter what. Presuming your product or platform content doesn’t suck in the first place...no offense. :)
STEP FIVE: RESEARCH AND BRAINSTORM . Know your audience and how to reach them. If you understand your market, you will understand how to promote your product to them, and what marketing methods are likely to be the most effective ways to share your offer with them. You will greatly increase your conversions and likely minimize your refund requests.
STEP SIX: IMPLEMENT. You have found your product, its exceptional. You have taken some time and created a blog or website FULL of rich, honest and informative content. You have explained WHY your audience needs this product. You have asked them to provide feedback on their thoughts for readers to come.
By doing all this, you have separated yourself from the competition by establishing unique and trustworthy content through your honesty and willingness to share what you know with others.
It shows you want to help, and should greatly raise your conversions and effectiveness because you are simply offering something of value to someone, and not screaming "BUY ME NOW!!"
You have posted links to your recommended product or service. You have decided how you are going to start generating traffic. ...It’s time to implement.
Start launching your campaigns. Make sure you capture email addresses for potential upselling down the road if applicable. Pay attention to your traffic to conversion ratios. Try changing things as you feel needed. If you truly do have a valuable product and and an audience that needs the product, you will succeed in the end.
It's a very simple concept, truly.
