Affiliate Marketing Website Models For Great Business

A registered domain name would give you an address in the virtual world.  A web hosting service would give you a lot.  It’s time to build your house.

But there are many kinds of houses, with each type serving a particular need.  In the same light, there are many kinds of websites, and each type would also serve a particular need.  Our goal right now is to determine the kinds of websites you could create to best serve you affiliate marketing concerns.

As an affiliate, here are a number of website models you could decide to employ.  Let’s take a look at them.

A Review Center

You could create a website, preferably using a blogging software like that offered by blogger or wordpress, which seeks to review the products that are released in the market.  Here’s the deal, though.  Review the products you are promoting.  Naturally, you’d want your reviews to be favorable for the affiliate merchant’s offerings.  So stress the beneficial points of the products so that your visitors may be encouraged to click on your affiliate link and be redirected to the affiliate merchant’s sales page.

An Affiliate Mall

An effective way of promoting your affiliate links is through an affiliate mall.  You could make your website into an online catalog of sorts. Display the products you are promoting, and attach your affiliate links.  Provide a short but encouraging description for each product.  Also include a small image of the product itself (as an affiliate, you are allowed to use the affiliate program’s images for your promotional campaigns, so you won’t be violating any copyrights by doing this).  

This setup is quite empowering for your visitors.  They are given the option to choose which among the products you are pre-selling would be most advantageous for them.  

A Content Site

Content is king on the internet.  People surf the world wide web in search for information.  If you have the information they need, then you’re in business.  You could focus on unique and quality information for your website, and include your affiliate links by way of recommendation or direct announcement.

There are many kinds of content sites which you could decide to build:
  • a news site which offers the latest information on the market you will be catering to;
  • an information hub containing guides and general information about the same market;
  • a download center for valuable products you’re freely offering (this is great for a viral marketing campaign, which we will discuss in subsequent lessons)

An Opt-In Page

You will not be able to win all of them.  You won’t even be able to win a majority of them.  The best thing you could aim for is to gather the “yes” visitors, try your best to change the mind of the “no” visitors, and capture the contact information of the “maybe” visitors so that you could continue to convince them for a future sale.  And this you could do with a mailing list.

By having them subscribe to your mailing list, you’d be able to contact them at any time, with new offers, or perhaps with some valuable tidbits that would warm them up to purchase what the affiliate merchant is selling.  All you need is an account with an excellent auto-responder service, which you could integrate in such a page so that it will capture prospective leads on auto-pilot.  

You could employ this strategy on any of the website models we have mentioned above, or you could make a web page specifically designed to capture the aforementioned contact details.

Beginner’s Guide To AdSense, Improving CTR

It’s not enough that you generate a lot of visitors to your website.  If those visits do not convert into clicks, then your AdSense campaign is doomed.  It’s not automatic that every visitor to your website will click on your ads.  No.  That will be a critical error to assume as such. The simple solution would seem to be: lead visitors into clicking the ads displayed on your pages. But no.  This is not allowed by Google’s TOS.  You will be prohibited from asking your visitors to click on the ads.  The consequences are dire indeed.  Your earnings will be held.  Worse, your account will be terminated. So, how do you improve your click through rate ? Remedy Against Ad Blindness Your number one enemy will be ad blindness, or ad numbness as many people call it.  It seems that visitors have become accustomed to seeing ads displayed on web pages, so much so that they have become immune to them.  Yes, a great majorit...

Copy Writing Crash Course - Part 2

Modeling And Learning If we are to be witty about it, learning copy writing is not only about the “writing.”  A good part of it is also about the “copy.”  By “copy,” I mean the act of imitating or mimicking something that is already in existence. No, I don’t mean that you should become a fraud and steal ideas left and right. Performance Marketing Agency What I want to say is that you should take time to study excellent sales copies, learn the methods that are used, and develop your own style by patterning your thought processes in accordance with the ideas behind proven sales letters. This is what copywriters have labeled as modeling.  And it is not something that is limited to novices to the craft.  Even veteran copywriters practice the same.  The importance of modeling cannot be undermined.  Modeling can help anyone upgrade their skills. Why Is Modeling Important? The greatest sculptors in history needed human models to copy....
