3 Things All Affiliate Marketers Need to Survive Online

Every affiliate marketer is always on the lookout for successful markets that provide the biggest paychecks. Sometimes they think that this is a magic formula that is already available to them. Actually, it's more complicated than that. It's simply good marketing practices that have been proven over the years through hard work and dedication.

There are tactics that have worked before with online marketing and continue to work in today's online affiliate marketing world. With these three marketing tips, you will be able to increase your sales and survive in online affiliate marketing.

What are the three tactics?

1. Using unique web pages to promote each product you market. Don't lump everything together just to save on web hosting costs. It's best to have a site that focuses on each product and nothing more than that.

Always include product reviews on the website so that visitors will have an initial understanding of what the product can do for those who buy it. Also include testimonials from users who have tried the product. Make sure that these customers are more than willing to allow you to use their names and photos on the site of the particular product you are marketing.

You can also write articles highlighting the use of the product and include them in the website as additional pages. Make the page interesting and include a call to action on the information. Each headline should entice the reader to try to read more, even contact you. Highlight your special points. This will help your readers to learn what the page is about and want to find out more.

2. Offer a free report to your readers. If possible, put it at the very top of your page so it won't be missed. Try to create an autoresponder message that will be sent to those who enter their personal information into your sign-up box. According to research, sales are usually closed on the seventh contact with a prospect.

There are only two things that can happen on a web page alone: the sale closes or the prospect leaves the page and never comes back. By placing useful information into their inbox at specific periods, you will remind them of the product they think they want later and will know that the sale has closed. Make sure that the content is geared towards specific reasons to buy the product. Don't make it sound like a sales pitch.

Focus on key points such as how your product can make life and things easier and more enjoyable. Include a compelling subject line in the email. As much as possible, avoid using the word free as there are still old spam filters that throw such content into the trash before anyone even reads it first. Convince those who sign up for your free report that they will be missing out on something big if they don't take advantage of your products and services.

3. Get the kind of traffic that is targeted to your products. Just imagine, if the people who visit your website are not interested in what you have to offer, they will be one of those who move on and will never come back. Write articles for publication in e-zines and electronic reports. This way you can find publications that focus on your target customers and what you present will probably interest them.

Try to write a minimum of 2 articles per week, at least 300-600 words in length. By continually writing and maintaining these articles, you can generate as many as 100 targeted readers to your site in a day.

Always remember that only 1 out of 100 people will buy your product or use your services. If you can generate as many as 1,000 targeted visits for your website in a day, that means you can make 10 sales based on average statistics.

The tactics given above are not that difficult to do, if you think about it. It just requires a little time and an action plan from your side.

Try to use these tips for several affiliate marketing programs. You can maintain a good source of income and survive in this business which not all marketers can do.

Also, think of the great salary you will receive.
