Affiliate Marketing Strategies – Two Approaches That Work

Affiliate Marketing is all about finding products to recommend – and then recommending them.

There are a couple of challenges and variations to the concept. I’m going to write about two of these. While there are differences in the two approaches, they have some basics in common.

The basics:

1) Find a great product (or service).

It’s essential to find something that works. You want happy customers, not refund requests. After all, you don’t want to have to return your commissions.

2) Make sure the product is in demand

No matter how fantastic the product may be, if no one’s looking for it, it’ll be a hard sell. And it’s not always as easy as it looks. I have come across surprising contrasts. After a good degree of success with one product, I started promoting a similar product to a matching audience, and have gotten no takers.

Why? Beats me. Either they’re not as willing to buy, or they’re not responding to the product quite the same way, or one aspect of the original product that’s not included in the second product makes a huge difference in conversion.

So the lesson is – try to promote a range of products. Some will work better than others.

The product is only part of the equation. You also want to make sure that the affiliate program is set up well. Plus, you may be interested in how quickly they pay…

Affiliate Marketing Mistakes – How to Avoid Making These Fatal Affiliate Marketing Mistakes

affiliate marketing mistakes [and success]Affiliate marketing is often viewed as a “starter” activity in internet marketing. In theory, it’s easy enough. You don’t need a website or even a product. Yet it’s not as easy as it seems. Many beginners make mistakes that sabotage their success. Read on to find out if you too make those mistakes?

Are YOU Making These Affiliate Marketing Mistakes?

1) You don’t know enough about the product you recommend

The first, biggest, and most common mistake is that marketers don’t really know the product they recommend.

Sure, it can get expensive to buy every product you want to recommend, yet consider the cost of recommending a product that doesn’t live up to the promises made on the sales page! The best strategy is to recommend products (and services) you use yourself. At the very least, buy the new product and check it out thoroughly.

Affiliate Marketing Step-By-Step: How To Start Your Affiliate Marketing Business Off The Right Way


Affiliate Marketing seems so simple. You don’t need your own product, your own sales page, or even your own website. All you need to do is send people to your affiliate link and rake in the cash. Well, not so fast…

Some of it is true. You really do not need your own product and sales page to get your start in affiliate marketing. However, if you don’t do anything but send people to affiliate links, you’ll leave a lot of money on the table, and your business may be very short-lived.

Here’s a step-by-step guide for getting off on the right foot.

Step 1: Pick a good product

That’s the most crucial step, and one often ignored by over-eager affiliate marketers. You need to know the product you promote, and you need to know that it’s good.

Best New Affiliate Program with Instant Commissions!



.
I just set up my new affiliate program with a NEW provider! And yes, you can earn instant commissions if you help me promote it!

I’ve been investigating a number of affiliate programs and signed up with several, and I think I have found a REAL winner at last!

PaySpree Affiliate Program

PaySpree! I love the way it’s set up, and their support is outstanding too, as is the way they handle fees.

I’ve tried several other programs, and while I like some of the others, there are always some disadvantages….

I’ll keep my products set up there, especially those that get promoted, but as of immediately, PaySpree is going to be my preferred provider 😉

And here’s the coolest part: They pay instant commissions, directly into your PayPal account. Of course that was one of my most important criteria! I love instant commissions, and I bet you do too.

As with RapBank, the instant payments will be paid in an alternating way. The first payment goes to me, the second one to you, and so on.

If the commission is 50%, then it will be paid out like this:

First sale: me
Second sale: you
Third sale: me
Fourth sale: you

If the commission is 75%, then here’s the payout schedule:

First sale: me
Second sale: you
Third sale: you
Fourth sale: you

And if the sale pays 100%, then you get ALL the payments.

Here’s why I like PaySpree over Rapbank:

Rapbank only allows 50% commission. If I wanted to get more flexibility, I would have to get their Rapid Action Profits software and install it on my server. It’s expensive, and I understand that it’s also kind of challenging from a technical perspective. So I don’t have that software and don’t plan on getting it.

And so my products on RapBank pay just 50%.

PaySpree allows me to set the commissions any way I like, and I plan to add a 100% commission product soon.

It also uses a credit system for fees, which is great in part because it allows us to purchase credits in advance at a hugely discounted price.

This makes it much cheaper than almost any other provider.

How does it compare to Clickbank?

With Clickbank, you have to wait for your checks! And when you first get started, you have to wait for, well, it seems like forever, until you get your first check.

That’s because you have to wait until people have paid with five different credit cards. And I there have to be at least two different types too, i.e., Mastercard and Visa. Or something like that. And with most people paying through PayPal, that can take a WHILE.

And once you get your checks, you still have to wait at least two weeks for each of them, and you only get paid when you reach a certain threshold. Plus they take out fees from your earnings AND charge you another $2.50 for each check! Even if you get direct deposit, which I recommend.

So I’m going with PaySpree now, at least when it comes to my main affiliate program. And here’s how you can get involved and earn affiliate commissions just for recommending any products you like:

Affiliate Program Sign-Up

Signing up is a two-step process:

First, you need to sign up for my affiliate program so I can send you my promotional materials and contest information. Look for your welcome email in your inbox.

Next, you also need to sign up for the PaySpree program. You’ll be redirected to THEIR sign-up page immediately after you sign up below (to get back to the current page after you’ve signed up, just hit the back button a couple of times).

Okay, start here:








Name
Email
Phone

As I said, once you’ve signed up for my program, you’ll be redirected to the PaySpree sign-up page, and you’ll need to sign up there as well.

And then, you’ll be ready to promote 😉

I am in the process of creating promotional materials for you so you can post them on your website and/or send them to your list and friends.

In the meantime, I’ll also report back on how well this system works, in case you too want to set up your own affiliate program.

Have a fantastic day!
