9 Affiliate Marketing Tips
(That Could Make You FILTHY Rich)
1: Target A Money Making Niche
Not all niches are equal.
Some niches have potential to make money, while others have NO potential whatsoever.
It’s (very) important that you start off on the right foot, and choose a niche that can make you money.
Even more:
You’ll want to ensure the niche is evergreen, so you make money for the long term.
Here are 7 of the best niches you can make money from long term.
Not only should the niche be profitable, but it should also be around a topic you’re genuinely interested in.
You’ll be creating content and talking about the niche, and you’ll get bored if it’s a niche of no interest to you.
2: Build A List & Do Email Marketing
If you have a website, over 70% of people who visit will leave and never return.
That means you lose money, because you lose most of the traffic.
To overcome this problem, you need to build an email list and implement email marketing.
An email list is an asset, because it can produce cash flow for a (very) long time.
If most people who visit your website leave never to return, it makes sense to grab their contact information before they leave.
Then, to add those contacts onto an email list.
By doing so, you can get them back to your website, and promote affiliate products, all by sending emails.
3: Only Promote High Quality Products
You know what a lot of affiliate’s do?
They promote any and all products, even if they’re crap.
If you promote crap products, you may make sales.
But:
Those who purchase will probably never buy from you again.
Also, if the product is no good, the chances of your referrals asking for a refund is high.
And if your referrals request a refund, you don’t make money.
Keep your audience happy by only recommending great products, and they’ll likely buy from you again, and again, and again.
4: Promote Multiple Products With Different Price Points
Rather than promoting just 1 product, it’s best to promote multiple that range in price.
Here’s an example of the different types of products you should promote:
1: Low ticket products
These types of products are very inexpensive, such as in the $7-$30 range.
What makes these products awesome is they’re cheap, so it’s easy to sell and make money from.
The downside is, as the affiliate, the commissions are low.
2: Mid ticket products
A mid ticket product are products in the range of $100-$300.
Since they’re higher priced, the commission percentage is higher, which means more money for you.
3: High ticket products
These products are expensive, from $300-$3000 or more.
Depending on your niche, there may not be high ticket products you can promote.
If there is, definitely promote it, (if it’s awesome of course) no matter how much the product costs.
You won’t make as many sales as a low ticket product, but the commissions are way higher.
Which means:
You don’t need anywhere near as many sales to make the same (if not more) amount of money.
4: Subscription based products
A subscription based product is where you pay a monthly fee for a service, like a Netflix membership.
These are one of the best types of products you can promote.
Because you sell it once, and get paid over and over again thanks to subscription billing.
By selling multiple types of products with different price points, you maximise how much money you can make.
You’ll also have products that appeal to the different wants and needs of your audience.
5: Use The Right Tools
Much like a builder needs the right tools to build a house, you need the right tools for affiliate marketing.
Most affiliate’s are looking for tools such as “push button” software, where you click a button and make money.
Or “free traffic” software, where you install a piece of code on your website, and magically start getting traffic.
Those are not tools, but rather junk that doesn’t work.
Use the right types of tools, and you’ll have a much easier time making sales.
6: Track All Of Your Marketing
No matter what kind of marketing you’re doing, you need to track it.
Without proper tracking in place…
…You can’t measure the effectiveness of your marketing.
As an affiliate, you should be tracking every single click to your affiliate links, and all conversions from that traffic.
By implementing tracking in your marketing, you can track where (exactly) clicks to your links are coming from, and what traffic source converts the best.
If you have a blog or website, you need to track how much traffic you’re getting, where it’s coming from, and how they find your website.
For this, you can use Google Analytics and Google Search Console.
Both of these are absolutely essential for your website or blog.
7: Focus On Strategies Not Tactics
A big mistake new affiliate’s make is:
They focus on tactics instead of strategies.
A “tactic” will work today and not tomorrow.
But a “strategy” works today and tomorrow.
New affiliate’s think because of the internet, there’s a short cut or some kind of push button system to marketing products. (Tactic focused.)
What they fail to realise is, it’s called affiliate marketing, yet neglect the most important part, which is the marketing.
So, put your focus toward learning how to market products, rather than looking for tactics which don’t work.
8: Produce Great Content
When creating content, make it awesome.
If you write blog posts, don’t just slap it together for the sake of getting it done.
Take your time, and cover everything there is to know about the topic you’re writing about within the 1 post.
Your goal should be to provide the best content there is about a topic, and genuinely help your audience.
If you do, your audience will reward you and buy stuff from you.
9: Test Everything
It’s impossible to know what people really want, or what makes them convert into leads and customers.
Different people require different marketing messages before they convert into a lead or buyer.
What a lot of people do is put 1 marketing message out there and think they’re going to acquire a lot of customers.
The problem with that is…
You don’t know if what you’re putting out there is what prospects actually want or need.
One of the biggest “secrets” in marketing is to test everything you do.
For example:
If you’re sending traffic to an affiliate funnel, test different headlines on your landing page to see which converts the most traffic.
Or if you’re running paid ads, test different ads, copy, and segments of the market.
By testing, you get data, and that data tells you what works and what doesn’t.
