subject: Affiliate Marketing Strategy in 4 Steps [print this page] Do you want to get into affiliate marketing, but you don't have a strategy? Then I'm going to teach you simple affiliate marketing strategy in 4 simple steps.
Know what you want
First of all, you need to know what you're going to promote. It's better if you choose product in a niche that you have at least some knowledge of and the more you are passionate about it the better. You can use sites such as ClickBank and Payzeno to choose an appropriate product.
Keywords are your friend
Before you even begin thinking about making money, you need to do some research on keywords for your product. That way it's easier to promote and get a targeted audience.
You can use various free tools such as Market Samurai to do proper keyword research, or just spend a few minutes in google and analyze where you have chance of getting on the first page. Don't underestimate the power of choosing right keywords.
Analyze your competition
If you want to win a battle, you better know your enemy. Find out what they do wrong and what you could do better. Even if you find and improve one simple thing, you can point it out and make your product much more appealing for future customers. Just type your selected keywords into Google and look at the first websites that pop up and are relevant to your product.
Spread the word
People should think that your product is everywhere. Create a Twitter account and a Facebook page. If you like you can also do some video marketing on youtube. Put a link to your product in your signature on forums that you participate on. If you help someone on the forum, he will be very likely to click on the link. Don't be shy to write a few articles for article directories or for your blog.
The more tactics you apply the bigger the chances of your success. Why should you ignore even one traffic source?
Go now, it's time to take action and implement affiliate marketing strategies!
