How to Get Your Visitors to be Purchasers

You've been working on your affiliate marketing business for about 6 months to a year. So far the traffic has been quite steady. Except for one teeny problem. You're not making any money. But still, you say to yourself, "At least I'm getting decent traffic so it cant be that bad." Newsflash! Affiliate Marketing is about making sales. It's all about the moolah. Yes, the traffic is all good, but you need to get your visitors to be purchasers. You need to get your visitors to buy your products unless you don't mind them merely window shopping at your affiliate site. Remember, your affiliate site is your bread and butter, and it must be treated as such.  Here are a few ways on how to get your visitors to be purchasers.

Make Sure Your Products are Appropriate

 Yes, make sure your products are appropriate.The products you are promoting should be what your visitors are looking for. If you remember what I said in my last post, it does not make sense to be promoting iPhones  when your affiliate site/blog is about dog food. Your readers visit your affiliate site/blog with dog food on their mind not iPhones. Also, you need to to do some legwork, like find out what your readers search for online, and then choose products to promote  that match the content on your blog/ site.

Promote Only Reliable Products

Promote only reliable products. Unlike what your friends might have told you, affiliate marketing is not about plastering your blog/site with banners  of every product you lay your hands on. You must have  bought and tried/tested the products, or even if you haven't bought  the products, the products must have generated enough good press to make you sign up for their affiliate programs. Never ever sign up for affiliate programs whose products have generated bad press, regardless of the delicious commissions that they promise. Doing so, will kill your business as your readers will lose confidence and trust in your content and flee from your site like flies.

Build a List

You  need to build a list.This is another way of  getting your visitors to be purchasers. In building your list, you're gathering a specific category of people interested in your product and who may harbor plans of purchasing your product. But please, when you're sending your emails, don't just send promotional emails. include in you emails, tips that will be of help to your subscribers in their daily lives. In so doing you are able to, gain their trust and a grip of your niche as well.

Cloak Your Affiliate Links

Some of you are probably wondering" What does he mean by " Cloak Your Affiliate Links?' well, when I say 'Cloak Your Affiliate links, i suggest mask your affiliate link. Wanna know why? There are scammers prowling around the net pinching the commissions of hard-working affiliates like yourselves. you will need to protect those commissions if you want your business to prosper. And with Christmas around the corner, the incentive for these scammers to steal becomes ever so strong.   If you're looking for a product that will protect your affiliate commissions, I suggest ProCloaker 3.0. If you don't know how to cloak your affiliate links and would like to learn with the intention of  purchasing the  ProCloaker later, I recommend  Affiliate Cloak Magic.


So this how yo get your visitors to be purchasers.Affiliate Marketing is about making sales and traffic is only half the equation.  Your only motivation online is to ring the cash register.  Your content should help solve problems with the intention of getting the reader to purchase. Anything less, and you are in the wrong business.  So if you want to learn how to get your visitors to be purchasers and much more, Download Rosalind Gardner's Super Affiliate Handbook.
