Beginners Guide to Affiliate Marketing

By: Liza Martinez

Without a doubt, Affiliate Marketing is a great way to make money these days. But it does take a lot of work. Then again what true business doesn’t? Having a few tricks up your sleeve is not such a bad idea in such a competition-filled environment.

First things first: Find your market. Target a specific industry and a group of consumers to sell products and services to. Let that be your niche and stay with it. Take your time in studying what their usual needs are and let that form part of how you will market your products when you're all set up.

Go with what you know. When selecting a product or service to promote, choose something that you already know or at least are more or less familiar with. This will save you a lot of time in promoting as you already know what you're talking about. You’ll need less time doing research. You will also definitely have more convincing power for your niche.

You can also choose more than one product to promote, of course. This will increase your earning possibilities as you wouldn’t have to be stuck with just one item. It would be great advantage if your products are somehow connected. This will make it easier to promote them under one website.

Besides the familiar, there is an advantage to doing research. No point in selling products which could be duds anyway. What you can do is find out what products are selling great online or which ones have better chances.

KeywordSpy has an affiliate feature that allows you to look into other affiliates and affiliate networks. You can look into affiliate markets and see who their top selling affiliates are and what they are promoting. It’s up to you then if you would like to get in on that game. After all, a top selling product can also mean a lot of competition in your niche for it. You can also narrow things down by looking into their different keywords and analyzing which could do you more good.

When you know The What, now comes The How. You can do affiliate marketing in many ways: There’s the ever so famous Pay Per Click advertising or PPC and Pay per Lead through advertising sites such as Google Adwords and Yahoo. You can also use by commission or residual income strategies through a variety of affiliate networks such as ClickBank, ShareASale or Commission Junction. Take time in getting to know these paths or make sure to choose the means with which you are more comfortable in. There are quirks and perks for each effort and it’s safer to go with the one you already know than risk so much. If you're new, research always helps.

Have a website. Your domain is where you will drive the traffic to and where you can feature the product you are advertising. Keep in mind that this might be the first instance where your prospective client can have their first look at the product you are selling. Naturally, this is important. Keep the look and feel of your website professional. Write relevant content to which you can incorporate relevant keywords.

Be sure to choose a domain name that is easy to remember. The thing about the internet is everyone thinks they can find the same source twice as easy as finding it before and very few people use bookmarks. If you get lost, just ask yourself, if you were the customer, how would you want to see a seller's website?

Lastly, when you have your campaigns set up, your content in place, it doesn’t mean you just lie and wait for the money to come flowing in. Keep working on your current strategies and experiment on new ones. Monitor your progress and prune unnecessary ads or keywords along the way. And don’t forget to keep researching for new ideas.
