How To Avoid The 3 Most Common Affiliate Mistakes

As the blueprint draws to a near end and closing publication, here are some hazard signs and
dangerous waters you shouldn’t be treading on in the affiliate marketing scene!
So listen up…
Affiliate marketing is one of the most effective and powerful ways of earning some money
online. This program gives everybody a chance to make a profit through the Internet. Since
these affiliate marketing programs are easy to join, implement and pays a commission on a
regular basis, more an more people are now willing in this business.
However, like all businesses, there are lots of pitfalls in the affiliate marketing business.
Committing some of the most common mistakes will cost the marketers a large portion taken
from the profit they are making everyday. That is why it is better to avoid them than be
regretful in the end.
Mistake number 1: Choosing the wrong affiliate program.
Many people want to earn from affiliate marketing as fast as possible. In their rush to be part of
one, they tend to choose a bandwagon product. This is the kind of products that the program
thinks is “hot”. They choose the product that is in demand without actually considering if the
product appeals to them. This is not a very wise move obviously.
Instead of jumping on the bandwagon, try top choose a product in which you are truly
interested in. For any endeavor to succeed, you should take some time to plan and figure out
your actions.
Pick a product that appeals to you. Then do some research about that product to see if they are
in demand. Promoting a product you are more passionate about is easier than promoting one
for the sake of the earnings only.
Mistake number 2: Joining too many affiliate programs.
Since affiliate programs are very easy to join, you might be tempted to join multiples of affiliate
programs to try and maximize the earnings you will be getting. Besides you may think that
there is nothing wrong and nothing to lose by being part of many affiliate programs.
True, that is a great way to have multiple sources of income. However, joining multiple
programs and attempting to promote them all at the same time will prevent you from
focusing on each one of them.
The result?
- The maximum potential of your affiliate program is not realized and the income generated
will not exactly be as huge as you were thinking initially it would. The best way to get excellent
result is by joining just one program that pays a 40% commission at least. Then give it your
best effort by promoting your products enthusiastically. As soon as you see that it is already
making a reasonable profit, then maybe you can now join another affiliate program.
The technique is to do it slowly but surely. There is really no need to rush into things,
especially with affiliate marketing. With the way things are going, the future is looking real
bright and it seems affiliate marketing will be staying for a long time too.
Mistake number 3: Not buying the product or using the service.
As an affiliate, you main purpose is to effectively and convincingly promote a product or service
and to find customers. For you to achieve this purpose, you must be able to relay to the
customers that certain product and service. It is therefore difficult for you to do this when you
yourself have not tried these things out. Thus, you will fail to promote and recommend them
convincingly. You will also fail to create a desire in your customers to avail any of what you are
offering.
Try the product or service personally first before you sign up as an affiliate to see if it is really
delivering what it promises. If you have done so, then you are one of the credible and living
testaments aware of its advantages and disadvantages. Your customers will then feel the
sincerity and truthfulness in you and this will trigger them to try them out for themselves.
Many affiliate marketers make these mistakes and are paying dearly for their actions. To not
fall into the same situation they have been in, try to do everything to avoid making the same
mistakes.
Time is the key. Take the time to analyze your marketing strategy and check if you are in the
right track. If done properly, you will be able to maximize your affiliate marketing program
and earn higher profits.

Top 3 Ways To Boost Your Affiliate Commissions Overnight

The ideal world of affiliate marketing does not require having your own website, dealing with
customers, refunds, product development and maintenance. This is one of the easiest ways of
launching into an online business and earning more profits.
Assuming you are already into an affiliate program, what would be the next thing you would
want to do? Double, or even triple, your commissions, right? How do you do that?
Here are some powerful tips on how to boost your affiliate program commissions overnight.
1. Know the best program and products to promote.
Obviously, you would want to promote a program that will enable you to achieve the greatest
profits in the shortest possible time.
There are several factors to consider in selecting such a program. Choose the ones that have a
generous commission structure. Have products that fit in with your target audience. And that
has a solid track record of paying their affiliate easily and on time. If you cannot seem to
increase your investments, dump that program and keep looking for better ones.
There are thousands of affiliate programs online which gives you the reason to be picky. You
may want to select the best to avoid losing your advertising dollars.
Write free reports or short E-Books to distribute from your site. There is a great possibility
that you are competing with other affiliates that are promoting the same program. If you start
writing short report related to the product you are promoting, you will be able to distinguish
yourself from the other affiliates.
In the reports, provide some valuable information for free. If possible, add some
recommendations about the products. With E-Books, you get credibility. Customers will see
that in you and they will be enticed to try out what you are offering.
2. Collect and save the email addresses of those who download your free
E-Books
It is a known fact that people do not make a purchase on the first solicitation. You may want to
send out your message more than six times to make a sale.
This is the simple reason why you should collect the contact information of those who
downloaded your reports and E-Books. You can make follow-ups on these contacts to remind
them to make a purchase from you.
Get the contact information of a prospect before sending them to the vendor’s website. Keep in
mind that you are providing free advertisement for the product owners. You get paid only when
you make a sale. If you send prospects directly to the vendors, chances are they would be lost to
you forever.
But when you get their names, you can always send other marketing messages to them to be
able to earn an ongoing commission instead of a one-time sale only.
Publish an online newsletter or E-zine. It is always best to recommend a product to someone
you know than to sell to a stranger. This is the purpose behind publishing your own
newsletter. This also allows you to develop a relationship based on trust with your subscribers.
This strategy is a delicate balance between providing useful information with a sales pitch. If
you continue to write informative editorials you will be able to build a sense of reciprocity in
your readers that may lead them to support you by buying your products.
3. Ask for higher than normal commission from merchants.
If you are already successful with a particular promotion, you should try and approach the
merchant and negotiate a percentage commission for your sales.
If the merchant is smart, he or she will likely grant your request rather than lose a valuable
asset in you. Keep in mind that you are a zero-risk investment to your merchant; so do not be
shy about requesting for addition in your commissions. Just try to be reasonable about it.
Write strong pay Per Click ads. PPC search engine is the most effective means of advertising
online.
As an affiliate, you can make a small income just by managing PPC campaigns such as Google
AdWords and Overture. Then you should try and monitor them to see which ads are more
effective and which ones to dispose of.
Try out these strategies and see the difference it can make to your commission checks in the
shortest of time

Using Camtasia to Increase Your Affiliate Checks

actually see can explode your online sales instantly.
You do not need to have trainings and education to be able to know how this system can
work for your affiliate program. Anyone can create stunning videos, from multimedia
tutorials and step-by-step presentations available online. The process is like having your

your files because it is recorded right there and then.

customers visiting that certain page. Videos are easier to understand and take in unlike reading
texts which oftentimes is a trying thing to do.
3. Upload your pages. Publish them through blogs, RSS feed and podcasts. You may want your
Camtasis videos to get around and reach out to other people that may be potential customers in
the future. Nothing like being visible in many sites and pages to advertise yourself and get your
message through. There are other things you can do with your affiliate program using
Camtasia. You can..
Create stunning multimedia presentations that are proven to increase sales because all
the senses are engaged. This also has the tendency to reduce skepticism among
hard-to-please customers.

presentation are there for the customers to just see and hear about.
Promote affiliate products and services using visual presentations. This is an effective way of
redirecting your viewers straight to your affiliate website after they are finished with the
video. Make the most of the presentation by putting your site location in the end and make
them go there directly if they want more information.
Multiple your online auction bids exponentially when you give your readers a feel of what you
have to offer. Based from reports, auctions that includes pictures increases bidding percentage

they wanted in the first place is making them understand clearly the essence of your affiliate
program. The good thing about multimedia is, nothing much can go wrong. It is there already.

your chosen affiliate program.
Note that the main purpose of using Camtasia is to boost the income that is generated from
your affiliate program. Although it can be used for entertainment and enjoyment purposes,
which is not really a valid reason why you choose to get all through that trouble.
Try to focus on the goal that you have set upon yourself to and achieve that with the use of the
things that may be quite a lot of help in increasing your earnings.

Using Product Recommendations To Increase Your Bottom Line

In affiliate marketing, there are many ways in which you can increase your earnings and
maintain the account that you have worked so hard for already. Most of the techniques and
tactics can be learned easily. No need to go anywhere and any further. They are available
online, 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.
One of the more important ways of increasing affiliate marketing bottom line and sale is
through the use of product recommendations. Many marketers know that this is one of the
most effective ways in promoting a certain product.
If the customers or visitors trust you enough, then they will definitely trust your
recommendations. Be very careful in using this approach, though. If you start promoting
everything by recommendation, your credibility will eventually wear thin. This is seen
especially when recommendations are seemingly exaggerated and without much merit.
Do not be afraid to mention things that you do not like about a given product or service. Rather
than lose any points for you, this will make your recommendation more realistic and will tend
to increase your credibility.
Furthermore, if your visitors are really interested in what you are recommending, they will be
more than delighted to learn what is good about the product, what is not so good, and how the
product will benefit them.
When you are recommending a certain product, there are some things to remember on
how to make it work effectively as well as to your advantage.
Sound like the true and leading expert in your field.
- Remember this simple equation: Price resistance diminishes in direct proportion to trust. If
your visitors feel and believe that you are an expert in your niche, they are more inclined to
making that purchase. On the other hand, if you are not exuding any confidence and
self-assurance in endorsing your products, they will probably feel that same way and will go in
search of another product or service which is more believable.
How do you establish this aura of expertise? By offering unique and new solutions they
would not get anywhere else. Show proof that what you are promoting works as
promised. Display prominent testimonials and endorsements from respected and
known personalities, in related fields of course.
Avoid hype at all costs.
- It is better to sound low key and confident, than to scream and seek attention. Besides, you
would not want to sound unprofessional and have that thinking stick to your potential
customers and clients, now would you? Best to appear cool and self-assured at the same time.
Remember; prospects are not stupid!
- They are actually turning to experts and may already know the things that you know. If you
back up your claims with hard facts and data, they would gladly put down hundreds, or even
thousands worth of money to your promotions. But if you don’t, they are smart enough to try
and look at your competitors and what they are offering.
While recommending a product, it is also important that you give out promotional freebies.
People are already familiar with the concept of offering freebies to promoting your won
products. But very few people do this to promote affiliate products. Try to offer freebies that
can promote or even have some information about your products or services.
Before you add recommendations to you product, it is given that you should try and test the
product and support. Do not run the risk of promoting junk products and services. Just think
how long it took you to build credibility and trust among your visitors. All that will take to
destroy it is one big mistake on your part.
If possible, have recommendations of products that you have 100% confidence in. Test the
product support before you begin to ensure that the people you are referring it to would not be
left high and dry when a problem suddenly arouse.
Have a look at your affiliate market and look at the strategies you are using. You may not be
focusing on the recommendations that your products need to have. You plan of action is
sometimes not the only thing that is making your program works.
Try product recommendation and be among those few who have proven its worth.

Easy Profits Using PPC In Your Affiliate Marketing Business

Pay-Per-Click (or the popular short version: PPC), is one of the four basic types of Search
Engines. PPC is also one of the most cost-effective ways of targeted Internet advertising.
According to Forbes magazine, Pay Per Click accounts to 2 billion dollars a year and is expected
to increase to around 8 billion dollars by the year 2008.
The idea is that you publish PPC ads on your site, like Adsense...
Let us take a quick look at how PPC Search Engines work.
These engines create listings and rate them based on a bid amount the website owner is
willing to pay for each click from that search engine. Advertisers bid against each other to
receive higher ranking for a specific keyword or phrase.
The highest bidder for a certain keyword or phrase will then have the site ranked as number 1
in the PPC Search Engines followed by the second and third highest bidder, up to the last
number that have placed a bid on the same keyword or phrase. Your ads then will appear
prominently on the results pages based on the dollar amount bid you will agree to pay per
click.
How do you make money by using PPC into your affiliate marketing business?
- Most affiliate programs only pay when a sale is made or a lead delivered after a visitor has
clickthrough your site. Your earnings will not always be the same as they will be dependent on
the web site content and the traffic market.
The reason why you should incorporate PPC into your affiliate marketing program is that
earnings are easier to make than in any other kind of affiliate program not using PPC. This
way, you will be making profit based from the clickthroughs that your visitor will make on
the advertiser’s site. Unlike some programs, you are not paid per sale or action.
PPC can be very resourceful of your website. With PPC Search Engines incorporated into your
affiliate program, you will be able to profit from the visitor’s who are not interested in your
products or services. The same ones who leave your site and never comes back.
You will not only get commissions from those who are just searching the web and finding the
products and services that they wanted, but you will also be able to build your site’s recognition
as a valuable resource. The visitors who have found what they needed from you site are likely to
come back and review what you are offering more closely. Then they will eventually come back to
search the website for other products.
This kind of affiliate program is also an easy way for you to generate some more additional
revenues. For example, when a visitor on your site does a search in the PPC Search Engine and
clicks on the advertiser bided listings, the advertisers’ account will then be deducted because of
that click. With this, you will be compensated 30% to 80% of the advertisers’ bid amount.
PPC is not only a source of generating easy profits; it can also help you promote your own
site. Yes, you can use a PPC engine like Adwords to bring targeted visitors to your site.
Most of the programs allow the commissions received to be spent for advertising with them
instantly (not Adwords though) and with no minimum earning requirement. This is one of the
more effective ways to exchange your raw visitors for targeted surfers who has more
tendencies to purchase your products and services.
What will happen if you then you integrate PPC into your affiliate program? PPC usually
have ready-to-use affiliate tools that can be easily integrated into your website. The most
common tools are search boxes, banners, text links and some 404-error pages. Most search
engines utilize custom solutions and can provide you with a white-label affiliate program.
This enables you, using only a few lines of code, to integrate remotely-hosted co-branded
search engine into your website.
The key benefits?
- Not only more money generated, but also some extra money on the side. Plus a lifetime
commissions once you have referred some webmaster friends to the engine.
Think about it. Where can you get all these benefits while already generating some income
for your site? Knowing some of the more useful tools you can use for your affiliate program
is not a waste of time. They are rather a means of earning within an earning.
Best know more about how you can use PPC search engines into your affiliate program
than miss out on a great opportunity to earn more profits.

So Many Affiliate Programs! Which One Do I Choose?

Ask questions first before you join an affiliate program. Do a little research about the choices of
program that you intend to join into. Get some answers because they will be the deciding point
of what you will be achieving later on.
Will it cost you anything to join?
- Most affiliate programs being offered today are absolutely free of charge. So why settle for
those that charge you some dollars before joining.
When do they issue the commission checks?
- Every program is different. Some issue their checks once a month, every quarter, etc.
Select the one that is suited to your payment time choice. Many affiliate programs are
setting a minimum earned commission amount that an affiliate must meet or exceed in
order for their checks to be issued.
What is the hit per sale ratio?
- This is the average number of hits to a banner or text link it takes to generate a sale based on
all affiliate statistics. This factor is extremely important because this will tell you how much
traffic you must generate before you can earn a commission from the sale.
How are referrals from an affiliate’s site tracked and for how long do they
remain in the system?
- You need to be confident on the program enough to track those people you refer from your
site. This is the only way that you can credit for a sale. The period of time that those people stay
in the system is also important.
This is because some visitors do not buy initially but may want to return later to
make the purchase. Know if you will still get credit for the sale if it is done some months from
a certain day.
What are the kinds of affiliate stats available?
- Your choice of affiliate program should be capable of offering detailed stats. They should be
available online anytime you decide to check them out. Constantly checking your individual
stats is important to know how many impressions, hits and sales are already generated from
your site. Impressions are the number of times the banner or text link was viewed by a visitor
of your site. A hit is the one clicking on the banner or text links.

Does the affiliate program also pay for the hits and impressions besides the
commissions on sales?
- It is important that impressions and hits are also paid, as this will add to the earnings you
get from the sales commission. This is especially important if the program you are in offers
low sales to be able to hit ratio.
Who is the online retailer?
- Find out whom you are doing business with to know if it is really a solid company. Know the
products they are selling and the average amount they are achieving. The more you know
about the retailer offering you the affiliate program, the easier it will be for you to know if that
program is really for you and your site.
Is the affiliate a one tier or two tier program?
- A single tier program pays you only for the business you yourself have generated, whilst a
two tier program pays you for the business, plus it also pays you a commission on the on the
sales generated by any affiliate you sponsor in your program. Some two-tier programs are
even paying small fees on each new affiliate you sponsor. More like a recruitment fee.
Most importantly, what is the amount of commission paid?
- The commission paid by most programs is 20% - 80%, and in some cases even 100%!
Affiliate programs paying per hit, usually pays 0.01% - 0.05%. If you find a program that also
pays for impressions, the amount paid is not much. As you can see from the figures, you will
now understand why the average sales amount and hit to sale ratio is important.
These are just some of the questions that needed answering first before you enter into an
affiliate program. You should be familiar with the many important
aspects that your chosen program should have before incorporating them into your website.
Try to ask your affiliate program choices these questions. These can help you select the right
program for you site from among the many available.

business.

3 Things All Marketers HAVE To Do

Now every affiliate marketer is always looking for the successful market that gives the biggest
paycheck. Sometimes they think it is a magic formula that is readily available for them.
Actually, it is more complicated than that. It is just good marketing practices that have been
proven over years of hard work and dedication.
There are tactics that have worked before with online marketing and is continuing to work
in the online affiliate marketing world of today. With these top three marketing tips, you
will be able to able to increase your sales and survive in the affiliate marketing online.
- What are these three tactics?
1. Using unique web pages to promote each separate product you are marketing.
Do not lump all of it together just to save some money on web hosting. It is best to have a site
focusing on each and every product and nothing more.
Always include product reviews on the website so visitors will have an initial understanding on
what the product can do to those who buys them. Also include testimonials from users who
are using the product. Make sure that these customers are more than willing to allow you to
use their names and photos on the site of the specific product you are marketing.
You can also write articles highlighting the uses of the product and include them on the
website as an additional page. Make the pages attractive, compelling and include calls to act
on the information. Each headline should attract the readers to try and read more, even
contact you. Highlight your special points. This will help your readers to learn what the page is
about and will want to find out more.
2. Offer free reports to your readers.
If possible position them at the very top side of your page so it they simply cannot be missed.
Try to create autoresponder messages that will be mailed to those who input their personal
information into your sign up box. According to research, a sale is closed usually on the seventh
contact with a prospect.
Only two things can possibly happen with the web page alone: closed sale or the prospect
leaving the page and never return again. By placing useful information into their inboxes at
certain specified period, you will remind them of the product

they thought they want later and will find out that the sale is closed. Be sure that the content is
directed toward specific reasons to buy the product. Do not make it sound like a sales pitch.
Focus on important points like how your product can make life and things easier and more
enjoyable. Include compelling subject lines in the email. As much as possible, avoid using the
word “free” because there are still older spam filters that dumps those kind of contents into the
junk before even anyone reading them
first.
Convince those who signed up for your free reports that they will be missing something
big if they do not avail of your products and services.
3. Get the kind of traffic that is targeted to your product.
Just think, if the person who visits your website has no interest whatsoever in what you are
offering, they will be among those who move on and never come back.
Write articles for publication in e-zines and e-reports. This way you can locate publications
that is focusing on your target customers and what you have put up might just grab their
interest.
Try to write a minimum of 2 articles per week, with at least 300-600 words in length. By
continuously writing and maintaining these articles you can generate as many as 100 targeted
readers to your site in a day.
Always remember that only 1 out of 100 people are likely to buy your product or get your
services. If you can generate as much as 1,000 targeted hits for your website in a day, that
means you can made 10 sales based on the average statistic.
The tactics given above does not really sound very difficult to do, if you think about it. It
just requires a little time and an action plan on your part.
Try to use these tips for several affiliate marketing programs. You can end maintaining a
good source of income and surviving in this business that not all marketers can do.
Besides, think of the huge paychecks you will be receiving!

A surefire way of promoting the affiliate program

Time to track down the sales you are getting from your affiliates fairly and accurately. There
are phone orders and mails to track down. See if they are new clients checking the products
out. Noting down the contact information that might be a viable source in the future.
There are lots of resources to sort out. Ads, banners, button ads and sample recommendations
to give out because the marketer knows that this is one way of ensuring more sales. Best to
stay visible and accessible too.
The affiliate marketer remembered that there are questions to answer from the visitors. This
has to be done quickly. Nothing can turn off a customer more than an unanswered email.
To prove that the affiliate is working effectively and efficiently, inquiries would have to be
paid more attention on. Nobody wants to be ignored and customers are not always the most
patient of all people. Quick answer that should appear professional yet friendly too.

In the process of doing all the necessities, the marketer is logged on to a chat room where he
or she interacts with other affiliates and those under that same program. This is where they
can discuss things on how to best promote their products.
There are things to be learned and it is a continuous process. Sharing tips and advice is a good
way of showing support. There may be others out there wanting to join and may be enticed by
the discussion that is going on. There is no harm in assuming what opportunities ahead.
The newsletters and E-zines were updated days ago, so it is time for the affiliate marketer to
see if there are some new things happening in the market. This will be written about in the
marketer’s publication to be distributed to the old and new customers.
These same publications are also an important tool in keeping up to date with the newly
introduced products. The marketer has put up a sale and promotion that customers may want
to know about. Besides, they have to keep up with the deadline of these sales written in the
publications.
It is that time to show some appreciation to those who have helped the marketer in the
promotions and sale increase. Nothing like mentioning the persons, their sites and the process
they have done that made everything worked.
Of course, this will be published in the newsletters. Among the more important information
that have been written already.
The marketer still has time to write out recommendations to those who want credible sources
for the products being promoted. There is also time to post some comments on how to be a
successful affiliate marketer on a site where there are lots of wannabes.
Two objectives done at the same time. The marketer gets to promote the product as well as the
program they are in. Who knows, someone may be inclined to join.
Time flies. Missed lunch but is quite contented with the tasks done. Bed time…. Ok, so this
may not be all done in a day. But then, this gives you an idea of how an affiliate marketer, a
dedicated one that is, spends the marketing day.

Introduction affiliate

Being in the affiliate marketing business is not that hard now with the Internet at your
disposal. It is much easier now compared to the days when people had to make use of the
telephones and other mediums of information just to get the latest updates on the way their
program is coming along.
So with technology at hand, and assuming that the affiliate is working from home, a day
in his or her life would sound something like this…
Upon waking up and after having breakfast, the computer is turned on to check out any new
developments in the network. As far as the marketer is concerned there might be new things
to update and statistics to keep track on.
The site design has to be revised. The marketer knows that a well-designed site can increase
sign ups from visitors. It can also help in the affiliate’s conversion rates.
That done, it is now time to submit the affiliate program to directories that lists affiliate
programs. These directories are means to attract people in joining your affiliate program.
