Must Haves For Success With Autopilot Affiliate Income
With all the benefits available to the affiliate marketer, it is like a dream come true. You work from home or your laptop where you want to go. Since it is not your product, you don't have to deal with customer support issues. You don't have to create products, which take a lot of time and money not to mention experience. You get all the promo tools already done for you which means you just copy and paste and promote, and on and on.
I know you probably feel bombarded with websites and sqeeze pages, blog...ect telling you you're going to make thousands of dollars in affilaite profits at a push of a button. Most of this is mis-information. Well, here is the real, honest truth...
You first must know affiliate marketing consists of promoting a really good product that solves a common problem for people and has a high percentage on commission. Then you create a lead capture page into your autoresponder which is already set up for your special offer and then it will be much easier to drive traffic to that offer.
You can't make money without these four things...
1. Quality Product 2. High Percentage Commission 3. Something To Entice The Visitor To Buy 4. Ways To Get People To Your Site
Let's take these one by one:
Suppose you found a product in gardening you would like to promote and you know it is a quality product that would appeal to many people and they have an afffiliate commission that pays you 40% commissions.
That's two out of the things you need!
A good product with good commissions.
But what if you have no idea what is a good product or how much commission is good?
Then just do a search on the topic you are interested in and look to see if they have an affiliate program. You will, no doubt, come up with many on the topic and you will see an average of what is being paid for that particular product.
Now, the next two things you need (An offer and traffic) won't be as easy.
You need to entice people (an offer) to buy your product by clicking on the link. You could post to blogs. You could create your owm blogs. You could create articles and send them to Article sights. You could use Ebay. You could post to many other blogs and get people using you resouce box when creating the article. You could create an ezine ad. You could create a minisite...ect.
Creating multiple offers, I think, is the best way but, can be confusing if you haven't done this before so just start out with one and add one at a time.This is ideal.
Now that you have created one offer, you need to start driving traffic to it. Here are some good traffic methods to follow:
Article marketing Ezine advertising Forum posting Adwords
There are many other ways to get traffic but these will do wonders for you especially if you are a newbie, although I wouldn't recommend the last one for newbies. It is too easy to lose a lot of money quickly if you don't know how Adwords works.
A key point I want to make here is once you have this is place, you must follow it consistently each day. Make it a routine to follow everyday. It is so easy to get sidetracked with emails and other offers.
Nothing will work if you keep changing what you're promoting. You can promote as many product as you want BUT, just ONE AT A TIME. Set up a process to follow from A to Z. THEN Setup another and so on.
You only have to setup the process ONCE and it will run on autopilot forever.
