Affiliate marketing is a game where it’s the survival of the fittest. So if you’re still reading this, then on top of that one of the best things you can do is learn how to side-step the affiliate mistakes that sink so many others. One very nice thing about this environment is you can easily learn the mistakes others make, and then just don’t do them. If you learn from those who really know, and take note of the mistakes other marketers – you’ll put yourself way out in front. There are plenty of reasons why affiliates make mistakes when starting out with their online business. There is one mistake that is pervasive: Failing to fully explore one method of marketing and rushing off in a million directions at once. You need to be patient in the beginning. Stay away from anyone who claims you can make 5 figures your first month in business. Ok, good – moving on we’ll share some affiliate marketer mistakes you can learn from and avoid.
One of the most common mistakes is wrong product choice to promote. Picking a product that has some demand by a market will put you on the right path. Market research will solve that problem for you. Many affiliate marketers simply go by the product’s popularity and promote what everyone else is promoting. If you know what to do with a popular product, how to market it, then it’s usually not a problem.
As you can imagine, marketing highly popular affiliate products will assure you that there’ll be significant competition. So a workable choice is to find something with less competition, less popular, but you still want to only promote high quality offers. You will almost never go wrong if you learn how to choose the products to promote that are “right” for your situation. Test and run small marketing campaigns with different markets and different products. One important point to keep in mind is that people don’t like being oversold. If your website has little in the way of helpful information but is mostly advertising, it won’t convert well. If you want to be a successful affiliate, you have to do more than just get your viewers to visit the product owner’s main sales page. Tell your prospects some interesting and informative facts about the product and what it can do for them. A well written product review that mentions the product’s good points is a good way to do this. You can’t expect to make thousands of sales by having lots of ads and banners on your site. When someone searches on the internet, they want help and information, not another advertisement. The more helpful information you can provide, the more likely it is that people will trust you and buy your product.
Your main goal as an affiliate is to have a website that is simple, clean and easy to understand. If your site is too crowded and cluttered to easily use, and find your affiliate links, then you’ll be hurting yourself. Never be afraid to be proud of your affiliate offers, if you really stand behind them.
As with many things, learning how to sell affiliate products is a learned skill. Among other things, you’ll do well to learn how to drive traffic, build relationships, and engage in pre-selling for your products.
