It Pays To Write Great Content

If you want to great traffic driven to your affiliate site and you want that traffic to convert into sales then you need to write great content for your readers. Readers are not going  buy your product just because you tell them to. They need to be convinced first, and that persuasion comes through the content that you post on your affiliate site. Your content is the language between you and your target market. So you  need to get it right if you want to win your readers over.

Or even if your content is good, you know it can be better.  In general, the information may be great, but you need that extra something to  jazz the content up bit. You want to spice ti up to the point where you've got your readers attention.  Let me show you a few ways to grab their attention.

Write From Experience
You will gain more credibility when you write from experience.  It is like trying a  a Mars chocolate bar and recommending it to a friend You want to tell your audience how delicious the chocolate bar tastes  like and  how you'd like all of them to buy the chocolate bar. Of course,  your readers may have questions about the chocolate bar, but your honest transparent responses should  get them over to your side.

Personal stories gets your audience interested and engaged. Details like  how your product saved your life in a life threatening situation, or some gadget you tried, will certainly persuade them to purchase your product and give your cash register the much needed ring you've been waiting to hear.By writing from experience you make it more fun and exciting for your readers, and  you do your chances of sales conversions no harm at all.

Put Yourself In The Reader's Shoes
The first rule of marketing is "If your audience doesn't want it, they wont buy it." In other words think of what  they will buy and how much they're going to spend on that product. This where knowledge of your audience becomes absolutely critical. You need to know what audience you're dealing with and what their disposable income situation is like.

As part of knowing your audience, you need to find the right product and services for your audience. Then explain why the product will be perfect for them. If you're promoting a washing machine, you need to explain how the washing machine will be of benefit to your audience, and whether it's worth the investment.  This comes in very handy when building your audience. It will help your audience gravitate towards your product.

Establish Connection Between Content And Promotion
Social media users have become savvy nowadays. They're not going to reach a bunch of promotional tweets or click on a webpage banner just for the sake of it. They want to hear your story about the product you're pitching- The want to hear what you have to say.   Since people like to be entertained, you could tell a funny story about an experience you had, using your product. So long as your promotion is entertaining and informative, people won't mind at all.

Put Some Variety In Your Promotions
If variety is the spice of life, the same applies to your social media promotions. You need to put some variety in your attempt to expand your audience. It could a newsletter , a new Pinterest account or pay per click advertising. You can also get people with similar blogs like yours to guest post on your blog. That will also help spread the word about you blog/website.

If something is not working, try something new..That something new would help give you the breakthrough you've been waiting for.

How To Add Value To Your Affiliate Business When Money Starts Rolling In

How To Add Value To Affiliate Once Money Starts Rolling In

You’ve been  an affiliate for the past  year, raking in $1,000  a mount. Everything is hunky dory for you. You think you’ve finally arrived, and you’re already looking forward to touring the world -something you couldn’t afford to do while working 9-5 . Well, News Flash! This is where you work even harder to make more money!  

You cant afford to take your foot off the breaks just because you’ve started making a couple of thousand a month. You have to be on top of your game or else you could end up going back to your 9-5 career. Now let’s see how we can add value to our affiliate business once the money rolling in

Keep A Low Profile And Spend Within Your Means

If you want your affiliate cash register to keep ringing, you need to keep a low profile  and spend within your means. Don’t toot the horn of your success for everyone hear otherwise you’re  going to have all manner of people knocking on your door  asking you for cash.If you’re the type who is  a pushover, you’ll be  broke  in no time.  Instead spend as much time as possible add to your cash register and keep yourself under the radar as much as possible.

Even more important, spend spend within your means. It can be tempting to start splurging the moment  a few thousand dollars roll into your bank account. You buy your first condo, then the latest Mercedes Benz S class comes into the picture. All these expenses cause you to rack up a huge bill, and the  next thing you know your bank account is empty.  Nobody is saying you shouldn’t buy the finest things in life..But you need to pick the right time to do that.  

 Don’t do any upgrades to your lifestyle for at least two years. Some affiliates  making six figure profits have been known to still reside in modest apartments so they can save their profits for the future. The fear of heading back to the 9-5  rat race is motivation enough  to avoid losing all your profits.

In your quest to build on your profits understand that  you can also lose money. It’s all part of the affiliate game. The trick is keeping your head high in the midst of your losses. So long as you have money saved in the bank, it will hold you in good stead later.

Update  Your Hardware

When I say update your hardware I mean  invest in new hardware. Now that you’ve made a little money, It’s time to ditch the old Toshiba laptop and invest in a brand new Dell laptop.  If you’re looking into dedicated hosting, consider buying a dedicated server.  A dedicated server may  be  a bit steep in terms of cost, but it will be worth it when you start  raking in those seven figure profits. And  making all these investments you will be adding value to your  affiliate business.

Prioritize investment in  your business to merely spending money  just for the fun of it.  Investing in resources that will bring you profits is the surest way of maintaining longevity in the affiliate marketing game.

Squeeze  All The Profits Out Of Your Affiliate Campaign

Sometimes we see the next big money spinner and we want to jump on it. Unfortunately we abandon our current money spinner in the process!  That’s a huge mistake  You’re making. You need to stay focused on your current affiliate campaign and squeeze all the profits out of your campaign. Allow your  campaign to run its course, The last thing you want to do is to run a campaign half-heartedly while you have  your  right eye on another money maker. 

You can maximize profits out of your affiliate campaign by exploring different traffic sources. If  your landing pages and the product are already pulling  in the cash, it only makes sense to explore  these sources.

Don’t Get Complacent

The last thing you want to do is get complacent… This business can be very unforgiving if you let up. If you’re averaging $1000 a month, aim for $5,000 a month. Each month you should set yourself a new target. You have to be driven to success. 

Instead of wasting your profits things  cars, women, e.t.c,  focus on adding to your bank account. It’s a tough world out there, and there are no free lunches out there either.  You’ll have to scratch and claw your way to the top.
