How can you achieve real affiliate marketing success when you're not even sure if you'll still have your job tomorrow?
Think of it this way; job security is gone. The real security is what comes from the individual himself. As an affiliate marketer, you won't have to worry about where your income of tomorrow will come from, because you own your own career when you have affiliate marketing success!
You can achieve real affiliate marketing success if just keep in mind these three things...
1) You need to provide something of value that other people want or need. Since we're living in a time of pinching pennies, the more value you can give out there for "free", the more you'll end up making in the long run. Now, I don't mean give away the farm here.
But while people do like to buy, they hate to be sold! So your successful affiliate marketing blog must promote valuable information that entices people to want to stick around and spend more time on your blog.
And, as an internet marketer, I can tell you that the more time people spend on your blog, the more popular it becomes in the eyes of Google, which means it's more likely to move up the Google ladder quicker!
2) Provide information that can reach beyond your buyer's needs and expectations. A rule of thumb here is to always give back more in the form of information than you receive monetarily. Remember to put your prospective buyer's ahead of the needs of your bank account affiliate marketing success.
"A wise man should have money in his head, but not in his heart."
(Jonathan Swift: Irish author and satirist)
Make sure your successful affiliate marketing blog has a profitable marketing funnel built-in so that people who are interested in your offer will be drawn to a compelling "call to action". People may really love your offer and have a true need for your affiliate product, but if you don't suggest they click a link to put in their name and address, it's just a lost cause.
3) Create a follow-up system to warm up your leads. Once your prospective buyer "opts in" to your website, the work has just begun. People tend to buy from those who they know, like and trust, and it's up to you to make constant communication with them, proving value all the while, so they'll have a reason to open you email and read about your other offers.
An email follow-up system is the best to use in this case because the system will automatically get back to your leads with the letters you create. Routine "broadcasts" to your list are also advisable to tie in your personality with "real-time". Mention a "Valentine's Day special" or a personal story that recently happened to you. You leads will become your "friends", and those are the people who become customers and buy more stuff!
