Affiliate marketing doesn’t have to be so hard as it might seem to some people. Using these tips, I hope you provide you with an easier approach that should result in you securing more sales that you might do otherwise.
Remember with affiliate marketing, that it’s not really your job to close the sale. Your role is to pull in the traffic and then get your traffic warmed up and ready to view the product that you want to promote to them. Any well respected vendor will have already optimised their sales page to be the strongest that it can be for closing the sale. It’s just your job to send targeted traffic to it. In this article, I’m going to share with you an approach that will help you on your way to getting the traffic.
So assuming that you already have a website or you have planned where to add content about your product, then I’m going to share with you the first step on your route to pulling in the customers. This first step is research. What I suggest that you do is to look for the product online. If the product sells on Amazon then go to the page for it and read the reviews there. Take notes on what you find, you’re going to use this material in the next step. If the product is sold through Clickbank, then you might have a tougher time, but still invest some time looking for authentic reviews from people who really have purchased the product.
One of the other sites that you can use for research purpose in your affiliate marketing is YouTube. Look for a video of the product that you want to sell. Once you have found one that has been viewed by as many people as possible, scroll down to see what the comments read. These comments will hopefully be from people who have questions or even answers about the product in the video. Again, I want you to take notes on this. Look for trends and important questions and answers that are related to this particular product.
Just one more place that you might want to check for more material is in forums. You can use the product name and then add inurl:forum next to it in a Google search. This will bring back all the comments in forums about that particular product.
The next step for you to take is writing content. Use the material that you have collected in the reviews to create supplementary information about your product. Write the important and frequently asked questions that people have asked with an answer. Don’t be afraid of adding a little bit of negativity too – this will only help towards making your information be more authentic.
Finally, you’ll need to promote your content across the web as you would with your other pieces of marketing material. Perhaps you want to create a Squidoo page, write an ezine article or even use forums and …
Creating New Play Lists To Increase Number Of Views On YouTube
This one’s a little bit more advanced. Basically, all it means is that you basically create new playlists. If you’re in your channel, you look on the right here and you can click on that link. You can add basically of it on your videos. This is useful for when people search for a series of videos and they don’t want to keep searching for new individual videos. They want to see a series of videos and it takes them through the course or something. You can create this sort of idea for them to not go through all your list to search video.
You can use this to your advantage. You can look for other popular videos on YouTube and combine them inside your own list with your own videos. When other people search for those videos, the play-list with the popular video in it will come up, and because your videos are in there as well, when people go through it they’ll be able to see your video too and increase your views that way. Just play around with this. You can create your own if you’re on the play-list-menu. You create it by just going to New and click on Play-list-link, and you can select any video you want to add to this new play-list-area. It’s a pretty cool strategy. We haven’t done this too much, but it’s a strategy that Julie Perry is very keen on.
Moving on. This is the last one for creating increasing number of views, then we’ll go on to the next area that you can increase the number of videos. This is the bulk of it, so we’re getting there.…
Increase Your Social Media Presence With These Marketing Tips
Social media has been available for quite a long time in spite of a common myth otherwise. On the other hand, the power to utilize this media into such a powerful marketing plan for a starting business is a newer and evolving concept. Although social media marketing is always changing, there are certain basic rules and guidelines that are well-tested and should endure.
Regardless of what you are writing for, make sure your titles are captivating and irresistible enough to get people to click through. Whenever your titles draw in people, you stand a better chance of convincing people to go the places you want.
If you are a blogger, use the “retweet” button for every blog post. This makes sharing your blog on Twitter easier for others. By having this option on your blog, your blog will gain a greater audience.
When you post on a blog, make sure that there is a button the viewer can use to share the post to Facebook close by. When someone visits your blog, they can easily share material they like with other people via social media. When this happens, your blogs visibility expands in terms of the number of individuals who are aware of it. Extra traffic means extra sales.
If you’re new to social media marketing, let your current customers know that they can now find you on these sites. When your customers subscribe to your page, the social network may let their followers know about your page. It is this type of free advertisement and customer loyalty that you cannot afford to pass up. It’s also great in that advertising through your consumer base is basically a quality referral.
Update your social media site often. People who use social media sites thrive on constant streams of information, so failing to update frequently will quickly lose you followers. Attempt updates at least three or four times a week.
Keep the tone of all social media posts humble and friendly. Most social media users do not respond well to content that is insulting, overly self-congratulatory or offensive. You are never more powerful than your followers and your customers. Without them your business would be doomed to failure.
Research the concept of social networking. You may already have a profile on Facebook; however, keep in mind that social media marketing is not the same thing as chatting with your friends. Start your research online and consider talking with other, more experienced social networkers.
Your website should be tied to your other social media pages. This is easily accomplished by using HTML codes to add “share” buttons to individual posts or pages. Make it simple for your potential customers to share on RSS feeds, blogs and your main company website page.
Always find your own path with the social media niche. Many people are trying to use the same techniques; doing something a little different will make you stand out. You will be on the path to success if you closely follow the …
