3 Ways to Avoid Wasting Time Doing Affiliate Marketing Sales
Selling products for an affiliate merchant is how most people try and make money with affiliate marketing. In reality most of them never selling anything. This ultimately is waste of their time an no one ever makes any money.Let's talk about three things you can do to make some sales and help avoid wasting your time doing affiliate marketing.1. Use your products. It is amazing how many affiliate marketers have not used the products they are trying to sell.One of the best things you can do is purchase your own products if you are new to this kind of way to make money. Once you have learned about it you will find that selling the product is easier.When using the product jot down what you like about it and what you do not like. You will use this in the next step.2. Review what you have learned. Sending your potential consumer directly to the affiliate sales page is a bad idea.A better strategy is to create review pages where you talk about the advantages and disadvantages of the product you are promoting. This is where using the product personally comes into play.Being honest in a review is actually a great sales tool. It is okay to write things that you do not like about a product as well because nobody believes everything is always perfect.As an affiliate marketer you are given free websites to promote. You will want to start your own blog or website personally and then link to those sales pages on your review pages.These used to be call pre sell pages. Today you really do not want to pre-sell your prospects as much as you want to just offer facts and opinions about the product you are reviewing.If you write a decent review it will serve as a pre sell page. You can then link to your affiliate sales page via a banner or text link ad.3. Create a follow up system. This is an important part of succeeding.All you really need is a series of email messages and an auto responder to follow up with your prospects. Many affiliate programs have a splash page or landing page for you to promote.Putting your landing page sign up form on your review pages is a good thing to do. This is a way to capture your prospects contact information before passing them through to your affiliate sales page.You will find you waste less time on affiliate marketing sales if you use the products, review them, and create a future follow up system!
