PREsell to increase Affiliate Income

PREsell to increase Affiliate Income - by Kathryn Beach

Increasing your affiliate income can seem difficult. No one likes to be "sold to". This may be a bitter pill for marketers to swallow, but true.

However, affiliate marketers don't need to sell, that's the upside of this kind of marketing. They have to learn how to presell, or, warm customers up to buying.

To maximize your affiliate income, every page on your website should be written with a particular product or service in mind, but you don't need to mention the product or service by name. Remember what your primary goal is as an affiliate marketer with a content website? You got it, writing fresh, unique, interesting, helpful, useful content that presells.

Your content will build your reputation and earn your readers' trust and belief in you.

Every page on your site should also have a link to a page that presells an affiliate product of particular use or interest to the person using the product.

In plain English, this means you have some pages that are general information pages, without any mention of your products by name. However, if you are selling widgets, then somewhere on every page you have the word "widget" as a hyperlink to another page that specifically talks about widgets.

This page may be a widget comparison page, or a page about widgets in general. It can even mention your particular affiliate products by name. On this page, you can link to your particular product page, and also to the merchant page.

STEP 3. Choose a profitable niche

Do some research on Google AdWords and WordTracker to choose the most profitable niche from among the ones you're considering. (The free trial at Wordtracker is fairly restricted. You need more than that. I find Wordtracker so useful I have an annual subscription. However, you can get a cheap one-week subscription and do an awful lot of research in one week.)

Because you're planning to use AdSense, you want valuable keywords or key phrases, if possible ones that people are paying at least 50 cents per click for on Yahoo! Search Marketing and AdWords.

You're going to build a site the search engines love, so you also want to find key phrases that many people are typing into search engines. You don't rely on guesswork.

You must do this keyword research BEFORE you start building your web site. That's critically important.

Find out how much advertisers are willing to pay for the keywords or key phrases you're interested in. Here's how.

Go to https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal and play around with the free Keyword Tool.

For example, try putting in a keyword or phrase, such as "recipe" and click on "Get More Keywords". Pretend you're willing to pay the maximum per click the tool allows - 100. (You can choose any currency. I choose US.)

Over on the right side of the page, make sure that "Cost and position estimates" is selected.

The tool will calculate for you the estimated average CPC (cost per click) for a whole lot of words and phrases.

Try entering a different word, say "debt" or "free", click on "Re-calculate" and watch how the CPC changes.

You don't HAVE to choose a topic which has expensive keywords. Often topics that have expensive keywords are very competitive. You may do better choosing a less competitive niche with cheaper keywords.

In July 2008, Google improved its free keyword tool, making it much more useful. It now shows you the approximate number of monthly searches done at Google for any keywords you type in. So you can now do some fast, reliable keyword research there free. So this is a very good place to start your keyword research, using real search numbers from Google.

If you use Site Build It to build your site, you'll find the brainstorming tool in it awesome to help you come up with ideas and phrases you wouldn't have thought of without it.

Beware: If you choose certain topics, Google will not allow you to place AdSense ads on your site and you'll miss out on a very lucrative opportunity.

Such topics include gambling, firearms, ammunition, balisongs, butterfly knives, and brass knuckles; beer or alcohol; tobacco or tobacco-related products; and prescription drugs.

For a full list of topics you may wish to avoid see https://www.google.com/adsense/policy

Advertisers can choose to have their ads displayed only on Google or also on a large network of sites. Will AdSense ads you see on Google appear on your pages? To get an idea, find web pages that have material similar to the content you're planning to create and look at their AdSense ads.

For more accurate research, you can also use the free AdSense preview tool to see which ads are being displayed to people in different countries.

Step 2 - Find Your Niche

To help you find your niche topic, read Ken Evoy's free Affiliate Master Course and use the excellent advice in it to find a niche that suits you and your interest.

Spend a lot of time thinking carefully about this and jotting down notes. You're planning to do business, so don't rush it. It's very important.

You're probably avoid internet marketing topics because that field is so overcrowded and competitive. It's much easier to succeed if you locate a less competitive niche.

Choose a topic that is easy to write about.

Even if you've already chosen a niche, I urge you to read the Affiliate Masters Course. It might make you change your mind.

You can follow your passion or chase the money. With luck - and a bit of keyword research - you may be able to do both.

Examine your potential competitors

If you're considering building a site about hiking boots, type "hiking boots" (using quotation marks) into Google and Yahoo! and carefully examine the top 10 sites which appear in the search results.

They're your real competitors. Can you create a better, more interesting, more useful site? Can you think of a new angle, a new approach?

Do those top 10 sites have high Page Rank- say 6 or more? If so, you'll have to work really hard to get in the top 10.

Let's say the top 3 sites in Google are PageRank 8, 7 and 6. If so, you'll probably have to work hard for a couple of years or more to outrank them. I'm not saying it cannot be done, but it will require either a great deal of work, or a very innovative, eye-catching approach.

You can quickly check the PageRank of your potential competitors by using Seochat's free online tool - http://www.seochat.com/seo-tools/pagerank-search/
Type in "hiking boots" or whatever and you'll be able to see the PageRank of the top 10 sites.

Do those sites all have the phrase in the title? (The title is the words that appear at the very top of your screen when you visit a site.) If not, you may be able to beat them.

How many links do your potential competitors have?

Do your potential competitors all have thousands of links to them? This is important, because links are important to search engines. You need good, relevant links to your site. To find out how many sites are linking to a site, use the free Yahoo! Site Explorer. Go to http://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/ - and login (set up a free account if necessary).

Type the URL of the site you want to explore.

Click on "Explore URL".

Click on "Inlinks".

Modify your search to make it more useful. Select the options to show Inlinks "except from this domain" and "entire site". This will exclude internal links and show you all external links that Yahoo! knows about to ANY page of the website.

If your potential sites have thousands of links to them, they're likely to be very tough competitors.

Don't decide definitely on a niche topic until you've taken the next two steps...

Affiliate Tutorial-Step 1

I collect this 18 steps Affiliate Program Tutorial from this veteran Allan Gardyne or I call it 'GURU" who has been in this affiliate program for the past 10 years. He joined this program in year 1998 where GOOGLE just only started and start a living and making money from it.

This Affiliate Program Tutorial aims to give you a quick overview.

Here is his comment:

I've been earning a good living from affiliate programs since 1998. Based on that experience, this tutorial tells you the 18 steps to take to generate a useful income from affiliate programs.

No tricks. No gimmicks. Just solid, reliable methods designed to work for years.

You have the choice of many different ways of earning affiliate commissions.

In my experience, you'll have your best chance of success if you do the following. Find a niche and create a useful, interesting, content-rich, keyword-rich website on one topic and weave in affiliate links and AdSense ads.

This method - with the more recent addition of AdSense ads - has worked beautifully for me since 1998.

I urge you to master this basic method. It's a bit like serving an apprenticeship.

As part of your apprenticeship you'll learn SEO (search engine optimization) skills, copywriting skills and various other Internet marketing skills which will prove to be invaluable, whatever route you choose next.

With any luck, you'll have a bit of fun, too! I do.

I include Google's AdSense in this tutorial. Strictly speaking, AdSense is an advertising network. However, in many ways it's similar to an affiliate program. I think AdSense is fantastic. It's free to join, free to use and easy to use.

It's often much easier to earn good money from AdSense than affiliate programs, so it's essential that you include AdSense in your plans.

OK. Let's get started...

STEP 1: Set a goal

If you want to go somewhere, you need to know where you're going.

Let's start with a modest goal. Say you aim to earn a total of $300 (US) a month in affiliate commissions and AdSense revenue. Imagine what you could do with that money. A holiday? A better lifestyle?

I've kept the amount low, because it's important that you believe you can do this. Achieve small successes first, see the money in your hands or in your bank account, and then increase your goals.

Perhaps you have much larger goals. That's OK. Whatever your goals, I strongly recommend that you serve your apprenticeship by taking these 18 steps. They'll give you solid knowledge and experience on which to build your affiliate business.

Target traffic

noreply@blogger.com (Dalim) — Sat, 26 Jul 2008 12:21:00 +0000

Targeted traffic is the life-blood of your online business. An increase in TARGETED traffic produces more SALES which in turn produces more INCOME for you. But how do you generate this type of profitable traffic?

What is an affiliate program

noreply@blogger.com (Dalim) — Sat, 26 Jul 2008 09:49:00 +0000

An affiliate program isn't really a "program". It's a business arrangement.

For newcomers to Internet marketing, they provide an excellent opportunity - a way to earn money without producing your own product.

Affiliate marketing is a rapidly growing, cost-effective way for businesses to increase traffic and for website owners to make money. They are usually remarkably easy to join and operate.

They are also usually free to join.

Companies use these revenue sharing arrangements to pay commissions to website owners for sending them customers or "leads". You are paid a commission if the person buys a product or service, or perhaps if he or she simply fills out a form, or asks for a free sample.

You can be paid per sale, per lead or per click.

Other names: Affiliate programs are also known as associate, reseller, commission, bounty, pay-per-lead, pay-per-sale or pay-for-performance programs.

Here's an example

Let's say you love golf, so you create a website in which you recommend the golf books, magazines, videos and golfing gear you use and love.

The merchants selling those products provide you with affiliate links which you paste into your site.

When visitors click on those links and buy those products, you earn a commission on each sale..

Some affiliates earn pocket money. A few make millions of dollars. I've been earning a good living purely from affiliate program commissions since 1998.

I reckon it's an excellent way to earn a living because you don't have to create a product, you don't need a warehouse, you don't handle inventory, you don't have to worry about postage and packaging, you don't have to deal with customers. All those things are handled by the affiliate merchant.

As an example : In February 1998, Amazon.com is one of the affiliate marketing pioneers, had attracted more than 30,000 webmasters giving Amazon.com wonderful publicity in exchange for a small commission on sales. (By 2004, it was over the 900,000 affiliate works).

Programs are usually remarkably easy to join pay-per-sale or pay-per-lead programs.

But first, read carefully the Terms and Conditions which vary from program to program, you place a link from your site or newsletter to the vendor. When someone clicks on the link and buys a product or services from the net, you earn a commission.
