subject: Affiliate Marketing Secrets - Affiliate Techniques of the Pros Exposed! [print this page] With the U.SWith the U.S. economy in a seemingly endless downward spiral in recent years, a growing percentage of the population is looking for ways to supplement their 9 to 5 income online. One of the more popular methods being employed by these part time entrepreneurs is affiliate marketing. If you find yourself in that boat, here are a couple of affiliate marketing techniques used by online marketing professionals.
If You Sell It, Blog It!
Blogs are a hot commodity these days and they fit perfectly into an affiliate marketing plan if handled correctly. They can be set up for very little money and when you choose a targeted niche topic area and blog about it on a regular basis, the search engines will love you - and drive more traffic to you as their way of saying thanks. Just remember to keep your blog's tone comfortable and conversational and to write no less than 250 words in each entry, otherwise the search engines might not realize that you are actually writing new content.
Give Me Your Testimony!
Testimonials sell products. If you don't believe it, turn on the television and watch one commercial break. If it works on the television what's to say it won't work on your web site? Write your own story about how your product worked for you. Write a review and post it to article directories and invite other people to send in their testimonials as well. Nothing reassures potential buyers more than knowing someone else has had a good experience with the product they are considering.
With these two affiliate marketing techniques you are off to a great start, but don't stop there - you should constantly strive to hone your marketing skills if you want to stay one step ahead of your competition.
