Affililiate Marketing FAQs ( Contd...)

May I know how you drive traffic to your website or blog? It plays a vital role for PPC campaigns. Without targeting the right audience is like shooting an arrow in the dark.

Your PPC campaign may not be totally in sync with your products, description, details or images or well-organized landing page or site without clear CTA ( call to action) buttons leaving potential customers without buying anything. You are leaving the money on the table.

On the whole, you should analyze the ad campaigns and run AB tests to find which version works better and bring in more conversion. Add detailed features about the products you are promoting and how they benefit your potential customers to convince them to make a purchase decision. Here you need to connect with your potential buyers to be able to make a sale.

Please concentrate on the above points and revamp your ad campaigns, improve your blog or site or landing page, product description, product image or video, details of the product benefits with clear CTA buttons.

Introduction

Successful marketers adopt many strategies and techniques to increase traffic to their website or blog. Increasing organic web traffic to your blog is an ultimate test to promote your products and earn commissions.

  • Add Value To Your Content

Create posts that connect with your audience that offer some added value to your readers. Once this is done consistently your readers will themselves share your content with their friends and groups.

  • Create Viral Content

Look around and see how your competitor blogs are creating posts that go viral and are liked or shared by their readers. Take a leaf out of their strategy to create viral content regularly to engage with your audience and increase audience base.

  • Product Reviews

Product reviews are one of the best ways to attract more traffic to your site or blog. Create a genuine product review after using the product and share your experiences along with other people who share their experiences on using the product to build your case.

  • Comparing Products or Services

Comparing two rival products or services is another way to create interest among your readers and finally conclude the post with the pros and cons of using those products or services.

  • Get Content Ideas

If you want to replenish your content ideas check this content generator

Blog Ideas Generator
@HubSpot’s free Blog Ideas Generator tool gives you a year’s worth of blog post ideas in a matter of seconds.
  • Unique Long tail Keywords

Remember always you have a huge competition before you and they adopt many strategies to keep and grow their customers or clients by placing keywords with high CPC to get more visitors. Here you can adopt a strategy of long tail keywords to make a unique set of keywords that attract a small portion of visitors but more conversion happening. Instead of Mexican Taco, which sounds more like a generic one you can try a long tail keywords like What is in a traditional Mexican taco? People who search matching exactly your long tail keyword can certainly purchase.

Use the Google Keyword Planner tool to analyze long tail keywords.

  • Sprinkle Evergreen Topics

Post some evergreen topics about your niche on your blog intermittently. Post your evergreen content on long-lasting topics but not on passing trends. Do not post outdated content but updated ones.

  • Email Marketing

    Take a Tour | Marketing Automation, Landing Pages, Webinars, Email Marketing

Email marketing does not require blasting emails to thousands of email addresses with no to low open rates and engagements. Instead, if you have a small list of elite subscribers of around 1000 to 1500 then you can always promote your products by sending emails and making them click your blog link to read new articles. Conversion happens with high open rates and more clicks. Use this as sparingly as possible not to spam them with your newsletters every day or every couple of days.


  • Guest Blogging

Guest blogging is an effective way to increase traffic to your blog and get new leads. You need to search for the top-ranking reputed blogs in your niche that attract more traffic and contact blog owners to request for posting your content in their blog with a link to your blog or posting comments in the comments box.

  • SEO

Search engine optimization involves both on page SEO and off page SEO to rank your blog in search engine rankings to generate more organic traffic. This is a separate topic to deal and need to work with a lot of technical stuff.

  • Social Media Marketing

Social media presence is an added advantage to increase social media users engagement by redirecting to your blog by writing posts on pages, groups, profiles and replying to posts.

Conclusion

Write quality content and word count is ideally around 2500 with some relevant images or videos. More backlinks attract more traffic to your blog. You can also write articles with 500 to 1500 word count for readers who are not interested in reading long articles. Though, you may adopt these strategies there is no guarantee that you get results within few weeks. But if you continue your effort consistently you can get more leads, visitors and customers to your business after a reasonable period of time.

As we all know Twitter is a microblogging platform with limited number of characters used to tweet to promote your affiliate products with few hashtags by crisply explaining the benefits of the product with images or short video in line with Twitter’s guidelines. It’s visibility is very limited if you do not post tweets often in a day as millions of users on Twitter platform tweet every second about something. Most of the tweets disappear without any impression or click. So, you need to tweet continuously in a day to get better visibility.

To increase the visibility with your target audience it may be necessary to tweet at least more than 10 and within 15 tweets in a day and don’t over do it by going beyond 15 tweets as it is considered as spamming then people may unfollow you and eventually end up on losing your hard earned followers.

Try to find a balance between doing and overdoing to be able to promote your affiliate products successfully and you also need to find the best productive time to post your tweets in order to get your followers attention. This is an another topic needs to be discussed separately.

It is very much important to start searching for your niche products broadly then narrow down to few products and finally getting your specific niche products. opt out of programs that are not supported in your location or physical products that are not locally available near to your location. Most of the digital products are not localized and can be sold in most parts of the world.

Yes, why not? it is definitely worth promoting Amazon products in 2022. Amazon has millions of products to promote that cover almost all of the niches with only a few exceptions. Amazon is an e-commerce giant selling quality products available at the best prices, great offers, and gives the best customer experience. Most of the affiliate marketers would love to promote products with high conversion rates and earn good commissions.

Though sales growth was achieved in Q3 of 2021 there was a decline in profit in Q3 of 2021 compared to the year-earlier that doesn't going to hurt its march towards 2022.

Amazon net income Q3 2021
Amazon revenue Q3 2021

Now in the list below you can see more advantages than disadvantages in selling Amazon products in the Year 2022.

You can see the pluses and minuses listed below

Pluses:

  1. Amazon has a wide range of products that cover most of the countries in the world, so is their customer base and it is very easy to find products related to your niches.
  2. You can promote using affiliate links or HTML scripts for banner ads in your blogs or sites for every single product or whole page containing products listed.
  3. Once you logged in to your Amazon associates account you can see the SiteStripe toolbar at the top of the page from where you can create text links, image links, text and image links, custom native shopping ads and you can also promote your affiliate link directly to Facebook or Twitter straight from SiteStripe toolbar.
  4. You have the choice to shorten links or original long links to promote according to your requirements.
  5. Custom links contain codes with images, prices, descriptions, and a buy button.
  6. Though cookie duration is 24 hours ( If a visitor clicks your link he or she has to make a purchase within 24 hours), on the other hand, if a visitor clicks the link and places the product in the cart the cookie duration extends to 90 days.
  7. You are allowed to create international affiliate accounts example Amazon..com, Amazon.ca or http://amazon.au
  8. Amazon has an extensive reporting system to track your affiliate sales and you can analyze your sales campaigns' performance.
  9. Finally, with excellent customer service resulting in more happy customers and less return of goods, you are guaranteed higher conversions and good commissions.

Now let us focus on minuses or flip side

1. As mentioned earlier the cookie duration is only 24 hours which is a very short time to get maximum conversion.

2. Commission rates range between 10% (Max) to 1% (Min) depending on the products sold.

3. Promoting affiliate links using emails, creating PDF, ebooks, or offline is not allowed.

4. Amazon updates its policies often regularly and you need to be aware of their new terms and conditions.

5 . Need to register for every international Amazon Associate account separately.

Hope this helps!
