Proven methods for online marketing continue to work today. With these top three affiliate marketing tips, increase sales and do extremely well with affiliate marketing online.



Practice #1 - Always use unique web pages to promote each separate product you're marketing. Don't lump all your products together on one page or website. Web hosting is very cheap today and it's much better to have a site focused on each product.

Always include a product review on your website. This will help visitors to feel that someone has used the product and believe in it.

Include testimonials from users who have already tried the product. Be sure the testimonial customers are more than willing to allow you to use their names and photos on the site. If you're just starting out, you may be able to find testimonials on the product owner's website.

Write articles outlining the use of the product and put them on the website. Make the pages eye-catching, persuasive and ask them to act on the information. Each headline should compel the reader and encourage them to read even more. Always emphasize the benefits of the product.

You can offer free reports to your prospects. Position them at the top side of your web page so they are sure not to miss them. You can use these as autoresponder messages as well and send them to all of the prospects that enter their information in your autoresponder sign up box. Research indicates that a sale is closed on the seventh contact. So, you should always have an autoresponder.

Practice #2 -- Only two things can happen when a potential customer visits your web page: either you will make the sale or the prospect will leave the page and likely, never return again. By sending useful information to their email account at certain specified periods, you'll remind them of the product they may have wanted at a later date. Be sure that the content is directed toward specific reasons to buy the product and don't make it sound like a sales pitch.

Always ensure that your prospects sign up for your autoresponder messages before they can download your free reports. Highlight important benefits like how your product can help their life become easier and more enjoyable. Use persuasive subject lines in your email messages. Avoid using the word "free" in your messages. Many spam filters will remove your messages before they ever reach your potential customers.

Practice #3 -- Focus on targeting the traffic for your website to your product. If the person visiting your website has no interest whatsoever in what you're offering, they may never come back. Write articles for publication in e-zines and e-reports. This way you can locate publications that are focusing on your target customers and what you write may just grab their interest.

Try to write at least 2 articles each week. Each article should contain about 300-600 words. By continuously uploading these articles you can generate about 100 targeted readers to your site in a day. In fact, if you click the links in the resource box below, you can learn how to generate thousands of backlinks with just a couple of articles. And remember, only about 1 out of 100 people are likely to buy your product or service. So, if you can generate 1,000 targeted visits to your website daily, that means you can make 10 sales per day. When you realize you can make about $25 on average with a Clickbank product and then multiply your earnings by 30 days per month, you can make about $7,500 per month. Not bad for a little bit of tenacity and a few articles.

The techniques I've described here are not complex. All that's required is to plan your time wisely and then take the necessary action consistently.

Try to use these tips for several affiliate marketing programs. You will create a good source of income if you just have a plan and perseverance. Most affiliate marketers fail because they do not have a plan or they are lazy. Just think of the huge paychecks you will be receiving!
