Take a guess at the number of affiliate marketers who make a serious attempt at list building and marketing. The number is very small. Email marketing to a responsive list has long been known to be a highly profitable endeavor. One important function of list marketing is that you'll be following up with them so they're not gone forever once they leave your website, or blog. If you engage in email marketing, you'll just have the chance to follow-up with people in the future. You not only lose on the sale but also on the opportunity of pitching them other similar products in the same market. With a list you will have many more opportunities to get your marketing message in front of them as well as more than one product promotions. Targeted traffic is also what a good list is all about, and your chances of making conversions is much better. Online marketers, for years, have been bribing people to join a list by allowing them to have some kind of free download. You can offer them anything you think is valuable and worth it. Whatever you choose to be your bribe, you have to make sure it is high quality and compliments your main product. You have to build trust with them, so don't blow it in the beginning by offering something low value.
There's one thing that will be critical to your success as an affiliate, and that is choosing a product to promote that will sell. The bottom line about this point is that it will determine everything with your success as an affiliate. The ability to do business will be a little easier if you like the market you're in, that and the products you market must be good ones that offer value at a fair price. Ok, well those are a couple items keep in mind regarding product selection and markets to work with.
Suppose, you start promoting a product that isn't good quality and offers low commission, you just won't have the motivation to market it. Everyone in business needs to be motivated and feel like they're producing something worthwhile, and that's why you need to try to keep all your ducks lined-up in a nice row. In addition to making sales, it's important to have a plan that hopefully includes creating long-term business and income. You should always try to find products that pay at least a $20 commission for sales, and that's a general affiliate industry benchmark.
There are legions of marketers who take little to no action on their dreams, so try to do something each day and build as you go along. Take action like never before, and don't get struck by analysis paralysis. You have zero chances of success, with anything really, unless you take action and have solid information. If you're concerned about making marketing mistakes - don't be because you'll make them, so you just need to accept it and move forward. It's easy to feel that you don't know enough, and you need to learn more before starting; and that's a mistaken strategy to assume - learn a little and take action, today. Try to keep these tips in mind as you continue with your business, and you'll be just a little bit ahead of the game.
