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.

Start Viral Marketing Campaigns Using E-books

Viral Marketing sounds like something bad but it is actually something very good. It is, also, a powerful way to generate traffic to your website. Think about how a virus spreads from on person to another. One person gets sick and just by sneezing they can give the virus to many more people… those people get sick and share their germs with everyone they know and the next thing anybody knows is that there is an epidemic. That is the very concept of viral marketing. The idea is to get everyone to spread your marketing message around because they want to.  Now let’s look at using an E-book to start your viral marketing campaign. First you create an E-book… a really good one that has links to your website, to your sales page and affiliate links to products and services that you recommend… and you give it to three people. In the book you encourage those three people to give it to their friends and family. Before you know it the E-book is spreading across the Internet li...

The Irony of Information Overload

When it comes to Internet marketing, there are a number of woeful ironies. None is worse than the irony of informational overload. Whenever someone asks for advice from seasoned Internet marketers, they will almost always get a reply that goes something like this “first, develop an information base through self-education; then, take action and continue to stay abreast with new developments.” Digital Media Marketing This is excellent advice, but unfortunately, many people fail in the self-education phase. They attempt to take in too much too fast – and are unable to analyze any of it well enough to actually put it into practice. This is also apparent in non-IM niches. Many people who simply receive too many information products will often stop reading them altogether. Even though they could benefit greatly from the information, they have developed a negative connotation that prevents them from considering it. This is important to keep in mind when attempting up-sal...
