Affiliate Marketing Tips – For Beginners

Author: admin Affiliate Marketing

I know many of you are new to the affiliate marketing industry so I want to make sure you take full advantage of everything available to help you create success. In this blog I am going to list some of the things that you can do to help prepare yourself for success and to avoid the pitfalls that some new affiliate marketers fall into. So without further waiting….. here are my tips:

1. Attend Industry Events – Attend trade shows such as ad:tech and Affiliate Summit. While you are there you can walk around and meet with affiliate managers from the networks, find new networks to work with, and chat with some of the most successful affiliates on the planet. These industry events are surely the best way to make the connections you need to help further your success in this industry Many of the most successful affiliates attend these events year after year to continue learning from each other. This is a great way to get “insider” tips from super affiliates without spending any money on other educational courses. These events always have “seminar sessions” where some of the top affiliates and marketers will share tips, techniques and information to help you jump start your success. I’ve been attending for years now, and so should you!

2. Pick a Vertical – Some of the most popular verticals are Credit, Dating, Diet, Auto, Education, Mobile, Coupons. Once you select your vertical stay true to it and continue to market offers within that vertical. The reason I think this is so important is because as a new affiliate it’s hard to learn everything at one time. It’s like building a house you need to do it step by step and in a methodical manor. Running out here and trying to dominate every vertical isn’t smart, especially if you haven’t even found success in anything to date. So my advice is to pick a vertical and stick to it. Learn it and master it. Once you create success in order to make your business grow, simply go into other verticals and learn them one by one.

3. Choosing Your Traffic Source – Again it’s very important to select one or two types of traffic and master driving traffic that way. It makes no sense to try to learn everything at one time. There are affiliates making money in every vertical with every combination of traffic source you can think of, trust me. So that means no matter what you choose you have the potential to be successful. I suggest you start with search and display advertising with a mix of social media. Once you’ve mastered this you can move into some of the more advanced “and risky” advertising like direct cpv and media buying. Following this pattern allows you to limit your “risk” and still obtain that reward you want, which is successful campaigns.

    I think I’m going to focus on Coupons. I’m already known as a “Coupon Queen” so I think it would be pretty interesting to work off that…

    I think I will choose fitness. I think I am interested enough in and have some knowledge to get me started there. More than anything else I can think of at the moment anyway…except for being a dad maybe.

    I am going to focus on sale leads. I have trying to get sale offers to convert, and have only successfully converted a few. If I can get a few sale leads to convert, with more attention, I should be able to convert even more!

    I am working on a vertical about pet diabetis. There are many pets with this problem, and few people know their pet can have it, until it is too late. The other thought is, how can pets get this. I know I have two, that get shots twice a day.

    Since I am new at this and I have not been able to make any money yet, I’ll get into a simple vertical: Coupons. After I become experienced in this industry, I’ll get into something more profitable.
    Explain “Mobile” please!

    I have several web sites.Mistake to spread my self this thin.Did not realize
    what I was getting into.No one to talk to about this.I believe the best attack is to take two and let the rest set until I know what I’m doing. One of the others is “Amazon.com”. I also have a dept reduction and mortgage site.(Credit repair.Perhaps this would be best.”Allyourdeptresolutions.com”. Amazon & Riverwalk are all inclusive sites,they sell every thing.Credit repair based on the economy looks like a viable vertical.

    I’m planning to use diet/health as my vertical because many of the other verticals can can fit nicely into this category, i.e. dating, coupons, education, etc.

    This month I am focusing on Real Estate, however, I have a monthly, “Topic” and a blog calendar, that covers the monthly topics. I thought this would add more diversity to the strategy.

    I will be choosing coupons as my vertical as well. I’m not sure about my media source as I am still playing and inexperienced. However, I do have a FB account and also one on MySpace, so, I will probably blog there.

    Hi,
    As I’m so new to this & still researching everything, I haven’t really made a final decision on my vertical yet. I’m leaning toward home improvement/handyman or health & nutrition though.

    I d seem to be loosing interest in lots of things that I used to do. I do sinceerly hope that I do not give up eating and sleeping completely. I started ten days ago and have studied most of the Advertising Profits From Home book. I have started PMI and have seen all of the success stories that I could find and many of Anthony’s e-mails. This is a problem that Anthony does not seem to have addressed. Perhaps this is some sort of illness!!
