Plain and simple, this beginner’s guide to affiliate marketing will be your ultimate go to resource, I’m not saying that for effect either.
Being in the affiliate marketing business today is not difficult with all of the current technology at your fingertips.
It is much easier now with modern technology, and assuming that you’re working from home, your day might be something like this.
After getting the kids off to school, you check for new developments. As a marketer, there might be new things to update and statistics to review.
The split test has to be revised. Experienced marketers knows that a split tested landing page can increase sign ups and conversion rates.
Split testing is simply 2 versions of the same page. For example, the text on one page might be different from page two.
Time to review your current and new subscribers you are getting from your campaigns. Who is opening your emails and clicking thru and who hasn’t.
Are your subscribers checking the products out? Have you been meaning to send out some broadcast emails, but haven’t?
There are lots of options here, and as a marketer, following up with your list is one way of building a relationship with your list.
Broadcast emails are just emails you send out to your list when you publish a new blog post, have some tips or advice, an offer to help them etc.
There might be questions to answer from the replies. Reply quickly, nothing can turn off a customer more than an unanswered question.
Liking the beginner’s guide to affiliate marketing so far?
Nobody wants to be ignored and potential customers are not always the most patient of all people.
OK moving on, next you might log into Facebook and check out your favorite group(s) where you can interact with other affiliates.
This is where discussions can range from things like:
- Best way to promote their products.
- Learning some new traffic generation method.
- Sharing tips and advice is always good.
There may be others in the group, wanting to join the conversation and may be enticed to do so by what you say.
Now would be the best time to see if there are some new things happening in the other Facebook groups.
These same groups are also an important tool in keeping up to date with the newly introduced products.
Here, affiliate marketers put up some promotions that you may want to know about.
There are lots of wannabee affiliate marketers that simply post their affiliate links in these groups, and right on someone else’s post too.
That’s SPAM. Spamming is just posting a link in these groups, hoping that someone will buy and they’ll make a commission.
You want take the time to write (or talk about) the product, so you can become a credible source for the product(s) being promoted.
That accomplishes two things at the same time.
The marketer gets to build the know, like and trust factor, and promote the product as well as the program they are in.
Who knows, someone may be inclined to join.
Time flies. Missed my lunch but quite satisfied with the tasks done.
Ok, so this may not happen all in one day.
But it gives you an idea of how a dedicated affiliate marketer would spend their time during the day.
Is that something you can see yourself doing in the future or what?
