Affiliate marketing
Affiliate marketing is a business
model with huge opportunities for marketers. In this report, you’re going to
learn how to tap fully into that potential so that you can start earning BIG
while working LITTLE.
The term passive income essentially
refers to any revenue stream that doesn’t require your constant attention and
care.
For example, if you were to sell a mobile
app then you could theoretically release the app onto the app store and then
let the sales role in. You could then head off to retire to a tropical island
and you’d still be earning the same
money.
This is the dream for many internet
marketers – to be able to earn cash while they sleep. Not only because… well that’s obviously amazing… but also
because it means the business model is highly scalable. If you can release one
hit app, you can release a hundred. You won’t be working any extra, but your
earnings will have gone up x100!
The problem with releasing an app though is that it requires
skill, time, money and luck. The
Average Joe cannot simply decide that
they are going to release a best-selling app.
That’s the bad news.
The good news though is that there
are other ways you can make passive income. Some of these methods are incredibly simple and highly effective. And the best part of all is that anyone can use them.
Affiliate marketing is just such a
method. I’m here to tell you that it’s time you sat up and took notice of this
option.
Moreover, it’s time you started
doing it right.
Affiliate marketing really is a system that anyone can use to start making passive
money online. It’s fool-proof and it requires no technical skill. The only reason that more people aren’t doing
this is that they either don’t know about it, or they don’t really believe how
powerful and effective it is.
Let’s put it simply: if you invest
just a couple of hours each evening into affiliate marketing, then you can
expect to eventually earn enough money that you can quit your day job.
The best part? You don’t even need
to create a product yourself. You don’t even need to create your own marketing materials. You are going to
simply to take an existing business model and duplicate it to start making money for yourself. It’s a
copy-and-paste business plan.
See? Fool proof!
Okay, so not quite fool proof.
In this report, you’re going to
discover 5 ways that you can start getting more from your affiliate marketing.
1 Branch Out With Different Products and
Services
The first tip if you want to make
the very most from your affiliate marketing activities, then one of the most
important ways to do so is to branch out with different products.
That is to say, that you should be selling more than just ebooks. Eboks are the go-to option for many marketers, because they are likely to use platforms such as JVZoo and Clickbank. Ebooks of course have no overheads or delivery costs, and that also means that creators are able to offer much higher commission.
But while that all sounds good,
selling ebooks also limits your market drastically.
Why?
Because a lot of people don’t buy ebooks.
Think about it:
•
Does your gran buy ebooks?
•
How about your friend who
doesn’t read?
•
How about any of your friends
who aren’t into internet marketing and don’t read self-improvement?
This is why – despite what many
blogs may lead you to believe – physical products are still by far the biggest sellers on the web.
So, if you sell those – whether
through Amazon, another affiliate program, or a direct deal with the
manufacturer – you will be able to make significantly more sales, which means
more money.
But what’s more, is that this will also
allow you to offer some products that cost significantly
more. For example, what if you were to sell a college MBA course? Yep, there
are programs that let you do this, and as you can imagine the profit is
potentially gigantic.
Likewise, you could use something as
simple as Amazon Associates accounts in order to sell gaming laptops – these
often cost $3,500 and more! Even 4% of that is still over $100.
2 Use the Right Tools
If you have countless different products
and services to sell through your site, then you’ll find that it can become
difficult tracking everything.
•
How do you find out what is
earning you the
most money?
•
How do you chase up the money
you haven’t received?
•
How can you create links for
each of those different products?
And the answer is to use a tool such as Trackanomics or Genius Link. These allow you to quickly find and add different affiliate accounts and then to generate links from those products. What’s more, is that they’ll let you track the performance of each.
Both these tools have Chrome
plugins, meaning that you can simply navigate to a page where they sell what
you’re looking for, and then click a button to automatically generate the
necessary links. The only catch is that Trackanomics costs $500 per month.
Beginners might wish to stick with Genius
Link then, but this does also give you a clue as to how much the really big
brands are making from this process!
3 Use Top 10 Lists
Then you have tons of options for selling
these products. You no longer need to market hard toward other internet
entrepreneurs: now you can create top 10 lists with great SEO in order to bring
in regular customers.
Let’s go back to those gaming laptops.
Let’s say you want to create a list of expensive laptops that will bring new
visitors to your site and result in conversions for you. What might someone
search for when looking to buy those products?
Well, the top graphics card right
now is the RTX 2080. That’s what most people will want if they’re looking to
buy a top-end gaming laptop, and it also guarantees the product will be expensive.
If we quickly head over to a keyword
research tool such as Keywordtool.io, then we can see that the best phrase for
this is RTX 2080 laptops. That has a search volume of 6,600; and we can rest
assured that most people searching this phrase will have the “intent” to buy
from you!
Add some bullets to your post along with
your SEO, and your link might appear in the SERPs with a rich snippet – leading
to much higher click through rates. Write a great article, and you’ll increase
your conversions too!
4 Build a Passionate Audience
Using the above outlined strategy,
it would be possible to sell lots of products from your site without needing to
build any kind of regular audience. That said, it is still highly recommended
that you do take the time to build
that audience.
When you take time to build an
audience that trusts you, that makes you a thought leader and an influencer.
This makes ALL the difference when it comes to your conversions.
When someone knows you and trusts what you have to say, that
means they will have a reason to listen to your product recommendations.
They know that they like your style, and you’ve spent
time developing a relationship. Not only that, but you’ll have spent time and
effort targeting precisely the right people.
To get to this point, you need to focus on
delivering consistently fantastic content in your niche, while also having a
strong social presence. Focus on relationships and communication – help your
followers to feel like they know you.
When it comes to actually writing
content, the goal should be to offer an original take on a subject, and to only
write about a subject you’re passionate about. This will be the difference
between rehashing existent content (which might also be outdated or low
quality) versus writing something new and interesting that no one has heard
before.
Put it this way: you can’t become a
thought leader if you don’t
understand the subject, and you’re just copying other people’s content!
Create a strong brand, know your target
demographic, and don’t try to appeal to everyone. Do this, and you will grow
rapidly and increase engaging severalfold.
5 Use PPC
Now you have long-term readers
buying from you, as well as first-time visitors that have found you on Google.
By combining sales from these two sources, you can drastically increase your
revenue.
But we’re going to go one step further by also throwing in PPC for good measure.
PPC is of course Pay Per Click, which is a type of advertising offered by
Google and Facebook. What this allows you to do, is to pay for ads only if
someone actually clicks them.
The reason this is important, is that it
gives you a certain cost for each visitor
to your site. If you know your conversion rate, and the amount of profit you
make from those conversions, then you can work out a strategy that will
guarantee you returns.
