Archive for the ‘Affiliate Marketing’ Category

If you’re a health affiliate, best program choices include those that not only focus on health-related products but also those that provide tools and training to help you be more successful. Let’s take a look at what makes a good health affiliate marketer and why the Health Affiliate Training center is a great place to get started.

First of all, any affiliate marketer who wants to be successful must be committed to learning the skills it takes to get people to click on their affiliate links. When someone does click on your affiliate link, they should be warmed up to the idea of buying your recommended product. They don’t need to be completely sold on it, rather they just need to be open to the idea.

As a health affiliate marketer, it’s your job to learn as much as possible about the particular product you’re promoting and the condition it is designed to help. You should get a good understanding of what a typical person looking for this type of solution is going though and what they want or need to solve their problem. You see, in most cases you are a problem solver. Someone has an issue and you provide the information to help them overcome it.

The key to enjoying success from your affiliate marketing efforts begins with choosing high-quality products. That’s why the affiliate program at HealthAffiliateTraining.com is one of the best places to start. Not only are the products top-notch, but they also come with a variety of marketing tools you can use to make your job easier. Banners, articles and other tools are available for you to use. You can feel good about making recommendations to good products that offer solutions people are looking for.

In addition to promoting good products, you also need to keep up-to-date on the marketing methods that will help you make sales and earn those affiliate commissions. And while there are tons of good training programs available that will teach you affiliate marketing, very few of them are free. In fact, you can spend hundreds if not thousands of dollars on training before you ever see a single commission come your way.

And once you become a free member, you get access to all the training information contained in our growing library at no charge.

One of the biggest hurdles a new affiliate commonly faces is building an effective blog or website. And when you start searching for help it can get complicated and overwhelming before you know it. However, when you follow a few simple and effective strategies, you can come out a successful affiliate at the end of it all.

Here are a few things to keep in mind when building your first website or blog:

Keep It Simple

Forget about having all the latest bells and whistles – you don’t need them. Design on the internet needs to be easy on the eye, user friendly and make sense to the average user. Never assume your customers will be as web savvy as you – many may just be familiarizing themselves with online surfing while others may simply have come to expect traditional navigation on a website.

Simplicity always rules on the ‘net. Let your website stand out by making it easy for the visitor to find what they’re looking for, and most importantly by providing great value and content within your site. Then simply follow a few basic good design rules and you’re set to go. Here are the most important rules to follow:

1. Don’t use color for the background. Keep the background of your website or blog white. In some instance a light color will work but avoid dark colors. Black can be especially difficult on the eyes. When in doubt, go with a white background and black text.

2. Don’t use too many graphics or flash images. Flash images can make a website slow to load and be downright annoying in some cases. Use images sparingly and make sure you use Alt tags in your images to make them search engine friendly. A few well-placed graphics can make a good impression and add to the actual content of the website – graphics should always enhance your text, not take away from it.

3. Don’t use music or audio without controls. An audio welcome can be a great addition to your website but always give visitors the option to click to hear the audio if they choose to. Otherwise, you may startle or annoy your customers when they suddenly hear a message they weren’t expecting.

Music in most cases is just not necessary and will distract from the message of your site. If you feel that music is a good addition, again, give your customers the option to click to listen to the music rather than taking that choice away from them.

4. Don’t use too many text colors. As with the background and design of a site, text color should be kept simple. At most use three colors within your site, preferably two – one for the standard text and one for headlines. This will make reading easy on the eye and look more professional. Using two colors also means that your headlines will stand out to the reader and draw them into the text.

5. Break it up. Text can be very difficult to read online. Make it easy on your visitors’ eyes by breaking up the text into small, manageable sentences. It also helps to add bullet points and sub-headlines throughout the text as many readers will skim pages rather than absorb them in full.

Don’t Forget To Add Great Content

Good design is important but great content can make all the difference to your internet success. The best approach is to gel good design with stellar content and you’ll have a sure winner on your hands.

Always give a little more than other websites and keep your content fresh and up-to-date. Add interesting stories, articles, downloads, videos and information that will help your visitors achieve their goals and more likely to click on your affiliate links.

Ask For Feedback

Feedback – good or bad – is important to your business. If you have a newsletter, ask your readers to tell you how you’re doing. You could also add a poll to your website asking for feedback. You can also ask friends and other marketers for an honest evaluation of your site. While all comments may not offer opportunities for improvement, many of them will.

Do you need some feedback on your affiliate blog or website? If you’re a member of HealthAffiliateTraining.com, just fill out the contact form here with your website URL. We’ll take a look and send back any ideas for improvement. That’s just another benefit of your FREE membership

Affiliate marketing is a great way to make a living.  Finding and promoting products you believe in can earn enough to make it possible to work from home full-time. Some people use their money-making website as a source of extra money to save, spend on travel or other personal goals.  And of course, the more affiliate sales you make, the better.  Let’s take a look at a few of the ways you can increase your online profits as an affiliate marketer.

How To Make More Affiliate Sales

1. Consistently publish content. Whether you have a blog or a website, the key to drawing attention and earning top page ranking is through content.  It’s also the best way to presell your products which we’ll get into next.  So what type of content can you publish?  Here are just a few options:

• Autoresponders
• E-newsletters
• Blogs posts
• Social networking via forums, social networking sites, and chat rooms
• Articles
• Press releases
• Reports
• Ebooks
• Reviews
• Audio and video posts
• Ecourses
• Workbooks

The list of possibilities could go on and on…

2. Network.  Networking, online and off, is a great way to spread the word about your business.  Social networking in particular can be extremely effective for sharing your unique knowledge and expertise.  You’ll drive more traffic to your website and thus increase your affiliate sales.

3. Pre-sell.  Your job as an affiliate is to pre-sell the products you’re promoting.  That means you don’t have to give a heavy sales pitch… just sharing information is enough. In fact, blatantly selling on your website may actually decrease your affiliate sales.  Pre-sell by writing articles, courses, reviews, blog posts and other valuable and informative content about the products you have chosen to represent.

4. Chose your affiliate products carefully.  You not only want to choose quality products, you also want to choose products that have a good conversion rate.  If you’re working hard to send traffic to their sales page, you deserve a sales page that converts.  This leads to the next step.

5. Track and test.  Tracking and testing not only who comes to your site but also how many conversions you make with each product, promotion and/or marketing tool is the only way to ensure you make money and continue to increase your affiliate sales.

6. Finally, look for unique affiliate products and/or complimentary affiliate products.  For example, if you’re an affiliate for our “Natural Sleep Made Simple” ebook, a complimentary affiliate product might be a natural sleep supplement like the ones offered at Native Remedies.

Affiliate marketing is one of the easiest ways to start your internet career and start earning money by working from home. You can work in your PJs, make money selling someone else’s product, and avoid the hassles of customer service that goes along with having a product of your own. It’s also the fastest way I know of to get up and running online.

While it can produce great rewards, not everyone finds the success they’ve been told to expect. Here are some of the most common mistakes new affiliate marketers are likely to make:

1. Plastering their website or blog with affiliate banners and links.

Not only does this look scream “Newbie”, it can also hurt your rankings in the search engines. Google is looking for good content on the site and if they find it, they give the site a favorable nod in their rankings.

People won’t come to this site and say, “Wow, look at all the pretty banners, I think I’ll buy myself something.” Remember, online surfers are looking for information that will solve their problems.

2. Taking a “build it and they will come” approach with their site.

Ah, if only it were that easy… But it’s important to jump right in and start driving traffic to your affiliate site. Without traffic, you don’t have a business. Luckily, there are lots of ways to get visitors to your site including article marketing, building Squidoo lenses, list building and sending emails, Twitter, Pay Per Click ads, etc.

3. Using the “set it and forget it” mentality.

Back to the Google thing… search engines like to see new content constantly showing up on the site. Even if you set up their site using proper SEO techniques and land yourself on the first page of the search engines, if you neglect your site it won’t stay on top for long.

4. Sending out the same cut and paste promotional emails as everyone else.

The emails provided by the product creator are there as an example. As a successful affiliate marketer in the making, you should put the emails in your own words and inject your personality into them. Yes, it takes a few extra minutes, but you’ll be rewarded with a better relationship with your readers and more sales.

5. Spending their entire budget on Pay Per Click ads before they know what they’re doing.

PPC is something that requires education, practice and money you’re willing to lose while you go through the learning process. Fortunately, there are lots of free ways to drive traffic when you’re a beginner and when you’re ready for it, educational materials are widely available on PPC methods.

6. Picking a niche they’re not interested in.

It’s been said that you don’t have to have an interest in your niche, you can just outsource everything that needs to be written and you’ll do just fine. While that point of view does hold merit, most beginners do the work themselves rather than use outsourcing right off the bat. If you’re going to spend hours working in a niche, it will be a lot more fun if you have some interest in it.

7. Failing to build a list.

By capturing the email addresses of visitors to your site, you’ll have multiple opportunities to turn them into buyers when they don’t purchase the first time. And guess what? Most people DON’T buy the first time… they need a few reminders before pulling out their credit cards.

Affiliate marketing is a great way to make money working from the comfort of your own home. Avoid these mistakes and you’ll be well ahead of the game.
