How to Promote Affiliate Products

If you would like to make some extra money and know a thing or two about marketing online you can make some good residual income with just a bit of effort. But most people think that you have to have your own product to make money online. However, that can’t be further from the truth. The reality is that you can make money with other people’s products. These products are affiliate products and you can make a nice living online if you can sell these products.

Basically, one of the first things you need to do to really establish a business online is not just selling to random individuals. But you need to capture those individual’s names who are interested in your products. The only way to do this is through an opt-in autoresponder sequence so that you own your list and can re-sell to them again and again.

So, how is this done, you ask?

Well, what you do is you send out good, solid information that your readers are looking for. This is information that is not readily available elsewhere. So, with this great information you want to also ensure that the time and effort you put into gathering and sharing this information is rewarded. A great way to make sure you are rewarded is by promoting an affiliate product and hopefully making multiple sales. However the best way to do this is through an opt-in or name squeeze page and writing a selection of seven messages. Basically, in each email message to your potential customer you offer them excellent information in seven email messages.

On the third and seventh email you should be promoting a product that your customer would definitely be interested in. By doing this your chances of making a sale are far greater because this list you’ve acquired is already pre-sold because they opted in to your sequence and are interested in your particular niche. They are definitely interested in the subject or niche you are a part of but they just haven’t found any good information elsewhere. That is why they are turning to you. They have a need and they want you to fulfill that need through what it is you are offering them. And hopefully your affiliate product should fulfill that need in helping your reader. But, making sales will also help you, not only by helping others, but by helping you monetarily. You should be able to make a nice income from it as well.

So, if you haven’t joined an affiliate program in your niche do so now. It’s amazing how many good products are available that offer excellent commissions for just a bit of effort.

More on Marketing to Your List

As I’ve stated before you really should send out as many emails to your list as possible if you hope to achieve any kind of sales volume. So, make sure you have some sort of opt-in form on your site or publication that is easy to find. Driving traffic to your site through press releases, articles and content on your site is great, but you have to be able to capture your visitor’s information in order to be able to market to them later. The more people you have on your list, the more money you’re going to make.

So, fast-forwarding a bit... you’ve now been able to build a decent list but you are really stuck on how much you can market to this list via your products or your affiliate’s. What you want to do is you always want to be doing things to keep on filling your funnel so you can start marketing more and more things.

In the first, second and third month what should you expect? Well, if you’re always marketing multiple opportunities out there, you really want to be very careful of what you are offering and what you’re not offering. Just don’t throw crap down the pipeline at them, but also don’t just sit there and do nothing at all.

So, you should be sending out emails pretty much all the time. Try to find something that’s very, very lucrative that’s really going to put a lot into your pocket.

Get started by going out and finding the affiliate programs that you feel comfortable with and you trust enough that you’re willing to put your name behind.
Once you do promote it, one thing I would recommend is that you don’t just send out one email and think it’s all over with. I would recommend dedicating a week to promoting a product or promoting something that you’re marketing, not just changing from one product to the next.

Money-wise, I’ll just tell you, you’re going to make all your biggest mistakes at the beginning when you first get started.

One of the biggest mistakes I think most people have about affiliate marketing is the fact that companies give you emails, links and all this stuff and you don’t use it. They’ve already got the system figured out and if you try to recreate the system, well, then that’s where I see the most failure is made. Follow the system – if they’ve got a system, they’ve got a way that things work and there’s probably a reason for that.

The first week, you’ve got to get you list trained. You’ve got to get them used to the fact that you’re going to be sending them emails promoting and offering things to them. By the second week you can get a better feel for your list, of what they can take, what they can’t take, and not only that, how much it means for you. If you’re always offering various products to your list, after a while you’re going to get to a point where it’s going to seem pretty easy.
