5 Ways To Fail With Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate marketing is like being a commissioned salesperson. It is of the best places to start an online business because you don't have to worry about creating a product, product fulfilment, returns or even building a website. It works by you promoting a product or service that has been created by somebody else. You get then get paid by the product owner when somebody buys it.

A lot of online business people have made, and are making, a good living from affiliate marketing. But many people also fail. Here are five reasons why:

1. Not Building A List
There is a popular saying in affiliate marketing - "The money is in the list". This is the list of names of people who are your prospective buyers. One of the most important affiliate marketing jobs is to get people to opt-in to your mailing list first. When promoting a product, don't send traffic just to an affiliate link. Once people are on your list, you have the opportunity in the future to promote other relevant products or services.

2. Promoting Bad Products
When you become an affiliate you are associating yourself with the product or service you will be selling and everything the product owner does reflects on you, so you do want to choose the best product or service that suits you and your market. There are thousands of products and services available to sell at online marketplaces like ClickBank, JVZoo and WarrorPlus.

3. Promoting Products That Offer Low Commissions
There are many different products available for the budding affiliate marketing entrepreneur and generally these are broken down into one-time payment and recurring payment products.

To start making money advertising affiliate products, you will obviously have to register with a few affiliate networks. Affiliate networks are essentially like the super markets of affiliate products, where affiliate can browse and find relevant products to promote as an affiliate.
There are many good affiliate networks to choose from, but some of the best include Amazon Associates, ClickBank, MaxBounty and Commission Junction. These affiliate networks simply are a bridge between affiliate and product owners.

Find below 10 easy steps to make people purchase your product.

Choosing a good product - Choose the best product which you are confident about selling. Make sure that the product is of good quality and be confident about the sales which it would generate. Quality products definitely generate sales.

What Is Affiliate Marketing

Google defines Affiliate Marketing as... "Affiliate marketing is a marketing practice in which a business rewards one or more affiliates for each visitor or customer brought... " However, I'm going to tell you EXACTLY what Affiliate Marketing is. Let's face it, Google isn't an professional affiliate marketer is it? So here's the definition from a guy who's on the front line of it on a daily basis...

Making Money While Scratching Your Nuts
Okay, so maybe that's a slightly humorous way of putting it, but it's essentially true. While you're sitting on your backside, scratching your nuts, you could be selling products for other people, therefore making a percentage off of the sale. While you sleep, people could be clicking on your casino affiliate links, and then making hundreds of dollars in poker rooms, which you'll get a small percentage of. Let's say, just for argument's sake, that an online casino offers you 5% of whatever your affiliates play with on their site. Now, 5% doesn't sound like that much, however, let's say you get yourself 25 people signed up via your affiliate link, and 10 of them spend $1000 per week online, that's $500 a week! Scale that up and you could be making some serious money.

Your job affiliate marketing, is to sell other people's products for them?

How do I sell their products?

How to Make Money From Home With an Online Business Through Affiliate, Email and Internet Marketing

The 21st century bought upon us a trend of going digital with everything possible, including advertising. With more and more people gaining access to internet, companies and businesses willing to advertise their products are no longer restricted to traditional mediums of advertisement such as television, magazines and newspapers. Because of this, advertising agencies can now target a wider range of audience, while companies can expect a spike in their sales. There are number of ways customers will be made to believe that buying online is the best thing to do.

Affiliate marketing:
This is among the most popular online marketing techniques out there. Affiliate marketing works on a trade-for-trade basis and is generally considered to be a risk-free method. This is so because, the company or business that is advertising their product does not have to pay the advertising charges unless a successful conversion rate happens. Affiliate marketing is normally known as pay-per-click sales or pay-per-view adverts in layman's terms. The advertisement aims to appeal the customer into buying a product, signing up at a website, or viewing content. As far as the conversion rate matters, the effectiveness of the advertisement is measured through a unique code embedded in the links. This code can be tracked and used to measure conversions.

Affiliate Marketing Is a Team Sport

Affiliate Marketing Is More Than a Collection of Techniques
About five years ago I bought a course teaching affiliate marketing for about $2000. The course covered about everything, starting with the right mindset for success, then how to select a niche, how to find products for promotion, how to build lead magnets and a list, how to make a plan. But the course was leading me nowhere.

Now you can say: If the student is ready, the teacher will be there, and you can turn the sentence round and say "if the student is not ready the teacher teaches in vain". I was at that time not ready, my mindset was preventing success.

Although that course discussed the importance of the mindset and all technical aspects of affiliate marketing, one vital point was missing. Affiliate marketing is a team effort, it is very hard to earn a substantial and sustainable income as an isolated affiliate marketer.

Let's Do Some Number Crunching
Here are a few assumptions on which I base the following calculation:
  • You look for a yearly income of about $100,000 per year.
  • You have costs for mailing lists, web hosting, traffic generation of about 30,000 per year.
  • You get a commission of about $3 for each sale through an affiliate link
  • You make 20 sales for every 1000 emails you send out.
  • You promote your recommendations by sending on average 3 emails to your subscribers.
In this scenario you need total revenue $130,000. At $3 per sale this adds up to 43,000 sales per year. to get there you need to send out 2,150,000 promotion emails per year. If you send to every unique subscriber 5 emails per week or 260 emails per year, you need about 8,300 subscribers. If you send 3 emails for each offer, you need to offer to every subscriber 87 products per year.

You can vary the assumptions a bit and come to not so drastic conclusions. But this will not change the big picture.

Blogging - Weebly Simplicity or WordPress Functionality

When you first begin learning how to blog or setting up your blog you must first consider the platform you're going to use. Simplicity or Functionality is a true consideration when it comes to managing your blog. Simplicity seems to be the way for beginner bloggers in creating a blog because it would be basically a plug-and-play environment. Let's take Weebly for example with its ease of use in creating a website, just simply click add site, pick a template, choose your category and presto, they you have it, your site is created.
Weebly:

Once your free site is created Weebly gives you a free subdomain choice that you can pick for your website. You can also choose to register a domain name or choose a domain that you already have. After you create your website it is not immediately published. You have to drag some elements over to what I will call your playing field to design your website.

You will have some very basic choices such as adding text, images galleries maps informs. You'll have columns and some other features that you can only get with the Pro version. But for the most part, the site is up and running as long as you have your content together in a few hours. That's really nice considering, it can take you a really long time to get your site together on your own. Once you finish designing your website, publishing it is as easy as clicking a button. You can also create a mobile website just by clicking another button. Both WordPress and Weebly have social network interaction that you can add to your website. Weebly also has Google AdSense, that's an automatic plug-in that you just authorize with Google AdSense and both you and Weebly split the profit.

WordPress:
When I thought about moving to WordPress I did some more checking around and found out that there was a phenomenal amount of support and plug-ins that allow your website or blog to do spectacular things. Now here's the kicker, you don't have to be a computer programmer to be able to utilize the plug-ins. Most of them come with some pretty simple instructions and the only big things is activating them and that's a simple task. There are a very large array of programmers that are writing plug-ins for WordPress so you could do things like add a "Updated Today" bar in the left-hand corner as I did in my blog. I thought that would be a really cool feature to have, it lets people know that some new post have went up today. I also added the star rating system to allow readers to be able to give a post one through five stars. This in turn helps to make my blog very interactive and it also helps me to understand what my readers want. These two things that I simply named, were nothing more than to free plug-ins.

Getting the Most Out of Content Marketing

Getting the Most Out of Content Marketing

You probably understand that content marketing is a necessary element to your professional success. As technology evolves and more tools are being offered to you on a regular basis, other aspects of marketing evolve with the new technologies. However, content marketing pretty much remains as it always was.

The changes that have occurred
Technology has provided you with the opportunity to change the possible ways that you can communicate and the many different ways in which you can share your content. Social media marketing, for example, is an approach to content marketing that is very popular and effective nowadays. However, content marketing (at the heart) is as it has always been. It is definitely one thing that your target audience can count on the be the same all the time.
It is important to remember, however, that content can be marketed in a variety of ways and a great deal of those ways involve online interactions.

Defining content marketing
It is very important to define exactly what content marketing is before you go any further with figuring out your particular approach to content marketing for your business. For a very long time, the definition of content marketing was constant and you could count on it. The definition used to be that it was information that the experts published. Those people considered experts were professional writers (journalists and authors of books) and public personalities. An expert was also considered someone who had solid experience in that particular niche. The experts would use their experience to build a solid foundation to market the content.

10 Tips to Recover From Blogger Burnout

10 Tips to Recover From Blogger Burnout

Remember when you decided to become a blogger? Those first few posts when your blog was new and you had so many ideas for articles you didn't know how you'd ever get to them all?

Maybe you even felt just a tad smug when you heard writers bemoaning the challenge of coming up with fresh content; or (gasp!) even slightly critical of some other bloggers for things like how often they updated their blogs?

Then it happened. Somehow you lost steam.
Many bloggers start off strong, but then tire of the work needed to grow a top-notch blog, and sometimes they feel they've just run out of things to say. Factor in external pressures such as posting deadlines, family and job, and the result can be a full-blown case of blogger burnout.

There are ways to regain your enthusiasm and enjoyment of the process, but it probably wouldn't hurt to first do a bit of soul-searching to revisit why you originally started the blog and make sure you really want to continue. Assuming you've decided to hang in there, and what you're feeling is more writer's block than terminal burnout, here are a few tried and true tips to help you get back on track.

  • Write less - There are no rules about how often you need to publish blog posts. If you've been struggling to post 3 or 4 (or more!) times a week, take a look at your analytics to determine the lowest traffic days and start by cutting back one or even two days a week. Depending on the goals you set for yourself, posting two times a week may be ample. Focus on fewer, higher quality articles, and be sure to communicate any changes in posting schedule to your subscribers.

Understanding a Viral Blogging System

You can make money from a viral blogging system. A viral blog is a group of blogs that create an authority site. Combine your blog with a successful marketing system and you are on your way to a cash flowing business.

Blogging is one of the keys to effective internet marketing. Once you have created your blog, you need a system that will capture your leads. You will also need to set up a sales funnel and have a product that is in demand.

Make Money Blogging
A viral blogging system takes care of the initial design of your blog. It will also capture your leads. Included is leadership training, capture pages, and a marketing system.

There are blogging platforms that pay commissions. Some pay small commissions and the best pay 100% commissions. In my opinion it's better to get paid 100% commissions on anything you sell. Just make sure that you are using what you are selling. Be enthusiastic about your products.

A viral blogging system takes the guess-work out of how to blog. You will learn how to use SEO, social media, paid advertising, and video marketing. Plus your website will be generic so you can brand yourself or your primary business and still get the link juice of an authority sites.

Affiliate Techniques: The Need for the Right Voice on a Blog

It is important to get to your niche effectively without hard selling. One of the most important affiliate techniques that any aspiring blogger, or affiliate marketing blogger would want to know is to learn the basics of "talking" to your market. Establishing the voice in your blog is important. It could mean conversion, or it could basically mean failure to connect with your readers. There are a lot of ways on how you can fail to connect with the visitors, while there are also ways on how to implement a relatable voice to your site.

Types of Voices
Professional voice on a blog is one of the many ways on how you can effectively capture the market's attention. A professional tone is applicable to sites that are geared towards executives, professionals and businesses. What makes this a good choice? It provides numbers and proof to your readers before coming up to a conclusion. It could also be utilizing infographics that can easily be relatable to the point you are trying to make.

Professional voice would often make use of quantitative data in order to prove a point.

If in case, you are the type of blogger targeting casual bloggers, or those readers on their 20s, it is a good idea to be personal. Using a personal or a casual tone of voice as part of your affiliate techniques can be effective considering the trends even in social media. Large corporations with plans of expanding on their market and becoming relatable to younger demographics always utilize this method. Asking questions to improve on their products, and using a tone that is non-intimidating, are some techniques that companies perform.

How it Can hurt Or Help The Blog.

There are many more variations as how the blog's voice can be tweaked. The most important thing to do in order to find the right voice for the blog is to ensure that you know exactly the general attitude of your readers. Research is imperative for this situation.
