Effective Methods for Affiliate Marketing

These are MY Top Tips To Affiliate Marketing Success:

1. Develop A Strategy - How Am I Going To grow an audience and promote Affiliate Offers, etc. What are your goals, e.g. increase an email list by 200 a month?
2. Identify A Niche - (Do not Rush This Step) Very Important.
3. Depending on your Strategy, set up your blog and social media accounts. Youtube, Pinterest, Twitter, Facebook, etc.
4. Populate all platforms with super interesting and helpful content that your users will see value in, very important. Half cocked content won't get you very far.
5. Make a reasonable conscious effort to be capturing your visitor's emails for future marketing efforts. Offer a free ebook etc.
6. Set up an automated email campaign with 6–8 Follow up emails once they are opt-in on the website. This greatly increases conversions. Do not spam your subscribers and space emails apart by AT LEAST 2–3 days.
7. Drive TARGETED Traffic, This can be done by driving highly targeted traffic from forums, social media, or buying some solo ads.

My Personal Experience:

I started making money with the affiliates in 2013 thanks to ONE (yes only one) article that focused on a specific niche/destination in my industry (travel).

My "success" (depending on what you mean with that, as I'm not making millions, but some months I made more money than my previous well paid job) was due to 5 main reasons:

1) I found a profitable niche (super competitive, but valuable)
2) I slowly established myself as an authority in that niche
3) I gave genuine, free, beneficial content to my audience
4) I didn't push it. The links are naturally incorporated in the text
5)I expanded that one article into a whole separate section within my broader website, and I used my reader's questions to fulfill their needs, adding more guides, all for free and all the guides where extremely detailed and useful.

It's been a lot of work, as when my article got to page n.1 on Google, my blog was not even 6 months old and had to compete with the top leaders in the industry, but thanks to a good backlink strategy, updating my content regularly and replying to my readers questions one by one, I was able to double my income in one year. Without using Adwords or any type of paid advertising.

Now there are people/colleagues who are trying to compete for the same keywords as mines, as they are aware that I'm making a living out of it, but this only means that I'll add more content and focus even more on creating super detailed and useful/shareable guides.

Many people who want to make money with affiliates forget to ask themselves a simple question. Would I click on that link and buy a service/product from X website if I was a regular reader?

Meaning: is your content precious or you are just putting together half copied articles, with no personality hoping to make easy money?

The readers are not that stupid. They can sense when you are trying to help them giving valuable info for free, and only when you establish trust, you will see the results.

And it takes a hell of a lot of patients to get there. But once you get the trust, and you are able to keep it, there is no turning back. Just beware of your sneaky competitors and try to always provide the best content you can.

Associate this with a good affiliate program, one that you really trust and have tried for yourself and you will finally see the money.

All this comes from a blogger who knew NOTHING at all about marketing or affiliate marketing before starting. My "success" is due to the fact that I always put my reader, not my own profits, first. And my readers know it very well.

Trust is paramount when it comes to affiliates, more than any strategy every seasoned marketer could offer you.

This is my personal experience anyway.

Best of luck.
