Affiliate Marketing
Its official, I am getting into affiliate marketing, I haven’t been doing any affiliate marketing although my roots (when I 1st started on the internet) was based around affiliate marketing, I’ve been spending loads of time lately researching and getting a grip of the latest trends in this industry, what are the popular programs everyone is using, what kind of marketing tactics are used to drive traffic to your affiliate based web pages.
I now have a very good idea of how it all works, since as I said I started out on the internet as an affiliate marketer, but things have changed, well probably things haven’t changed much, but I didn’t know 3 years ago what I know now.
Azoogle and CJ (commission junction) seem to be two of the widest used programs, although there are a number of programs that I am looking into, allot of people are making huge $$ out of affiliate marketing, its mainly based around setting up a webpage or a website the promotes a certain affiliate product, and you drive traffic to this page/site through PPC or any other form of online advertising, I can say that this is the main idea of the whole thing, of course, this can be done in so many ways and its not as simple as it sounds, so many factors get into the success of such a system, such as:
-
Your AD copy and how well written it is.
-
Correcrt research of the industry keywords, bidding on the wrong keywords can be a total waste of cash.
-
A good landing page is vital for making sales. Which reminds me of a book I need to read!
-
Selecting the right time to start an advertising campaign might also be important.
There seems to be allot of potential in affiliate marketing and it would be stupid not to try it out, I’ll keep you all updated on how things go.
That‘s its for now, take care all.
