So, let’s not waste time with filler. You want to get
started with affiliate marketing as soon as possible right? And you want to do
it properly I assume? Good, here is how:
1) Find a Market
Don’t get too caught up with finding a market. There are
1000s upon 1000s of markets online, so really you just have to pick one. Ideally you want
to look for these key things:
Are there many products already out there in the market? If
so, this is good sign, means there is a market.
Are there many people selling in this market especially
using pay-per-click advertising? If yes, this is good too, means that it is likely a
profitable market.
Don’t be scared because of competition, this is a good sign. More often than not no competition means there is no market.
Here is how you answer these questions. Go to Clickbank.com
and do a search in the marketplace for products. Let’s say you want to enter
the home construction market, like ‘How to build sheds.’ Type in ‘Shed building’
and see what comes up.
Another way is to go onto Amazon.com. Are there many ‘How to
build shed’ books or magazines?If so, this is a great sign.
Now, do a Google search for ‘Shed building’ or ‘how to build
sheds’ etc. Do you see any paid advertising (shaded in yellow at the top or
listed on the right side)? This means people are actively paying to promote
such products indicating that it is a profitable market.
2) Find a product
Now that you know a market exists, it’s time to find a product
and create your affiliate link. To make it easy, go to Clickbank.com and chose
a product from the ones available in your selected niche. You can do this by doing another quick search
in the Clickbank marketplace.
There are two approaches here to selecting a product: First,
you can choose one at the top with a high gravity (which means it’s being
promoted by many people and they are likely making sales). This means competition
will be higher, but it also means it’s probably a proven seller.
The second approach is finding the sleeper product. These
are products lower down on the list that are newer to the market, and therefore
have low gravities. You can really clean up with these because the competition isn’t
there yet, however, they aren’t necessarily proven winners.
Once you find a product it’s very easy to create your own
personalized link. Just sign up to Clickbank (it’s free), follow the
instructions, and create your hoplink (which is what they call your affiliate
link).
3) Promote your product
Now that you have your link you can start promoting. There
are many ways to do this. First, if you have some money kicking around you can
try pay-per-click advertising. You can sign up to Google’s Adwords program and
start immediately.
A free way would be article marketing. Write a quick
article, 250-350 words, on a subject related to your product. At the end of the
article add your ‘signature box’ which is a brief statement about your offer
and your link.
These two methods are good enough to begin. You can expand as you go.
So there you have it, you can start affiliate marketing
