Quick Start Affiliate Marketing Tips
1. Create your own website or blog site – Getting free traffic to your website can be challenging at first, but it can be done. Start with a simple blog and constantly update content in your niche, or topics you want people to read about, which will drive traffic to that niche. Then place affiliate links on your site to give readers options to purchase products related to your niche. Generating good and consistent content will get your articles and website to appear in Google searches and people will eventually be able to find your site with web searches.
2. Pay Per Click Affiliate Marketing – This is a good method, but the costs can add up. The old adage is “You need money to make money” is true in this method. You can set up pay-per-click ads on Google AdSense, or I recommend other sites like Bid4Keywords where the competition is less fierce.
3. Build your own email list. This is the best method for building a long-lasting business because as you build your email list, you can make your affiliate marketing business generate income on demand. Use sites like Aweber or MailChimp to set up, and you can use article marketing (like this one), pay per click, or many other methods to build that list. Then, when the list is built, you can email your affiliate marketing links for the niche topic to your list.
4. Start your own affiliate marketing program – Let’s say you were able to create a ton of quality articles on skiing or snowboarding. You can package them up, make an ebook, and start selling your ebook plus have other affiliates do the marketing for you! If your ski book sold for $10 outright, you could hire an army of affiliate marketers to sell the book for $10 and pay them $5.
Here are some ideas to get started in affiliate marketing. Remember, as you get more comfortable with the process and register your accounts, start creating original content and you can put these methods to use!
