Affiliate marketing is a powerful tool for businesses that wish to expand upon their customer install base and reach a wider and newer target audience. Through rewards and advertising, affiliate marketing generates more profit than traditional advertising would. However, before using affiliate marketing, you should keep the following advice in mind.
Beware of the pre-sell theory that you'll read in a lot of places. Affiliate marketing requires you to promote products, but if you could actually sell them without driving people to another company's product page, then you wouldn't actually be an affiliate. You can go with a soft-sell, but steer clear of the hard-sell.
To build your affiliate marketing credibility, make sure the products you offer are quality. By offering products of a high caliber, your customers will be happier with their purchase and more likely to purchase from you again. If your product is sub-par, then you run the risk of losing a customer for life.
Do not make the assumption that a larger affiliate network is necessarily better than on that is smaller in size. Larger corporations benefit from using larger networks because they can afford the large cost. Smaller companies need smaller fees and a place that is much more dedicated to customer service.
Ramp up your online affiliate success with one simple thing - put some serious work into your headlines. Your headline can make or break your articles, ads or blog posts. Grab your reader from the very start and use your affiliate awesomeness to spellbind your reader through the end of your story.
Set yourself small goals every single day to aid you in your affiliate marketing strategy. I like to have Windows Task Manager pop up the items I need to get done today, and I press OK only when they're complete. This shows me in my taskbar what I have left to do, and that keeps me motivated.
Promote your affiliate links in more than one spot. Adding a banner or link in one place is not enough to get the volume of sales you want. Add links into the text of your blog entries or articles, to build up more desire and create a call to action for your readers.
As the above article states, affiliate marketing is a powerful and helpful tool if used correctly, as it creates a larger customer base for your business and increases your chances of profit more than other methods. If you keep the advice found in the article in mind when using affiliate marketing, you can experience the gains that others have.

Top 3 Affiliate Marketing Mistakes to Avoid
By J Leuty
There are many mistakes to avoid when you first start your Affiliate Marketing business, in this article I will discuss the 3 top mistakes, which in my opinion are the first to avoid if you want to truly achieve success in the affiliate marketing industry.
1. Using the Wrong Tools.
Just like any trade, if you use the wrong tools in your business, your results will suffer, so it is imperative, especially when you first start out that you make use of the proper tools. So in the following paragraphs I will explain a little about the kind of tools you should be using as a professional Internet/Affiliate Marketer. One common thing I see new marketers do is to not take their business seriously in the beginning and start out by "playing" at marketing, they do not want to invest in the proper tools until their business has taken off and they can be sure of success, let me tell you one thing, you HAVE to invest, and project a professional image, in your business immediately or you will face a perpetual struggle.
For example, you need to invest in a real domain name, website hosting and an auto responder. If you try to get by using a free web hosting service you will be leaving a lot of sales on the table. One of the reasons for this is your online credibility. I am sure you would agree that a domain name like - yourwebsite.com - provides a much more professional look and feel than say - yourwebsite.freehost.com - if you had to choose a website to visit when searching for a solution, then I am sure the first URL would be the choice of most people, because it gives you the impression immediately that you would find your answer, or at least find some expert advice or info. Having a generic but market specific domain name is the key here, even better if your domain name contains the specific keywords you are targeting
Auto responders are another absolutely vital tool to have in your arsenal, as you have to have a way of capturing the contact details of visitors to your site, otherwise you are just wasting traffic. Most sales are not made on the first visit. People are coming to you in search of information first, so in order for you to give it to them you have got to capture their name and email address so you can follow up with them, an auto responder makes this process simple. Now the scope of this article does not cover specific tool service providers, but if you would like to know my recommendations for hosting, domain name registration and auto responders then you can find this on my blog.
2. Targeting the Wrong Market.
This is probably the most common mistake made by beginners, and unfortunately it's also the one thing that can kill your business almost before it has begun, even if you are doing everything else right. This mistake usually manifests itself in choosing a target market, which is too broad, and by the way, this is an easy trap to fall into when you look at all the options available. What happens when your market is too broad and how do you know? Well, for start, your conversion rates will be low, you may be driving a lot of traffic, but because it is too broad, your sales aren't where they should be, so you need to look at two things here to address this problem:-
1. Your Product.
2. The Keywords you are using.
There needs to be close match between these two, after all it's not just about targeting the product to the market, so lets have a quick look at some examples of proper and improper marketing: -
• Market too broad.
Lets say you are in the dating and relationship niche (a very lucrative niche it is as well, by the way) one of the biggest mistakes you could make would be to target keywords like "dating advice" or "dating tips" as the basis of driving traffic, because whilst these are relevant terms they simply aren't targeted enough. Why not? You might say, well think about the number of people who might be searching using those particular keywords, the market is absolutely massive, people searching in this particular market have an almost unlimited number of options, so unless you have an unlimited budget to drive a massive amount of traffic to compensate, and you have something very special to offer, most of your efforts will be wasted.
• Proper Targeting
Still in the dating/relationship market then, but now we are going to narrow it down. A good example in this particular market would be to target men who are looking to learn how to attract women. Straight away here you can see you have narrowed your target by excluding women. Now this changes everything, it changes the sites you advertise on and the keywords you use in your PPC Campaigns. Your no longer going after "dating advice" or "dating tips" any more, instead you could target more specific keyword phrases, like
"Attract women" or maybe "date a model", you get the idea, it makes it a whole lot easier to match up your market and product almost perfectly.
Even your auto responder follow-up messages will be easier to compose, because you can now focus on the one subject that you know your audience is most interested in. This makes it quite simple to give them exactly what they want.
3. Driving the Wrong Kind of Traffic.
Another problem encountered by beginners to affiliate marketing is actually knowing HOW to generate targeted traffic in the first place. This results in all too often falling victim to the many scams out there that promise to send you millions of visitors for $99, but don't produce results. Most of these are software systems that will produce a lot of phony hits to your website which makes it look like you have received what you paid for. The best advice to give to anybody who is new to affiliate marketing is to tell them to learn about the following proven methods of traffic generation:
• Pay Per Click (PPC) Advertising.
• Article marketing
• Social networking
• Blog posting, forum commenting and groups.
Now again it is outside the scope of this short article to go into detail regarding the above mentioned traffic generation strategies but briefly, in terms of cost, simplicity and time, they can be broken down as follows: -
PPC - Can generate traffic quickly, but can be very costly if you don't know what you are doing. Relatively simple to set up depending on the network you are using
Article marketing - Can generate a lot of targeted traffic but over a relatively long period of time. Great for providing a constant stream. Can be quite time consuming but is FREE traffic.
Social Networking. - Again not a quick strategy, and once started, to have any effect must be maintained, but can generate some fantastically targeted traffic and again it is FREE traffic.
Blog posting, forum commenting - Again this traffic is FREE, but can be time consuming. Great for market research as it is a superb way of interacting with your target market to find out what their problems are. I have used forum posting and commenting in particular in the past, and continue to do so today, to generate new product ideas on a regular basis.
So you see, generating traffic is not just paying for clicks, there is a definite strategy involved and you need to have multiple traffic generating strategies in place, and your strategies need to allow you to target your market head-on.

Three crucial keys For Effective Affiliate Marketing.
Affiliate marketing has gone beyond trying by error approach as such there are three things an affiliate must factor in in his or her quest to succeed in the ever dynamic world of affiliate marketing, if applied correctly it will lead to increased sales and overall success in marketing online.
These three factors are:
1.Creating unique and separate Webpages for your affiliate pages:
It is better to setup different pages for your different affiliate products rather than bunching them all up together, it makes it look not too professional, it is best to have a site focusing on each and every product and nothing more.What you can do is to make detailed reviews of the products you are offering visitor to your pages so that they can see what benefits they stand to gain if they decide to buy the products you are recommending.
It is also very effective to use testimonials of real people who have used these products and are willing to give their testimonials for publishing if you can get their photos it will be good also.
Writing articles to highlight uses and other benefits of the product can greatly enhance the appeal of the affiliate products you have to offer. The articles should contain call to action, that is telling your readers to take perhaps a "buy now" action because that is the desired end result that gives you the affiliate commission.
Write in a compelling and appealing manner that makes the reader want to read further. Highlight the different special qualities the affiliate product offers, let them know why your offer is better than what else is available.
2.Use videos on your webpages:
In today's online marketing it has become recommended practice to use videos because the average site visitor would prefer to be see the benefits of staying on longer on the site rather that having to read sometimes very long sales letter. What other better way to hold your page visitor spell bound and motivated to take action than to use top notch, full motion and streaming screen-captured videos. You can use a beautiful programme like camtassia to produce great videos that you can convert to webpages and have them uploaded to your sites and blogs, this will most definitely boost your affiliate cheques and keep you at the top of performing affiliates.
Making good videos from programmes like camtassia is not rocket science as you can get multimedia tutorials and step-by-step guides available online. This makes it feel like your customers are seated next to you and looking at your desktop, as you show them what they need to see and hear. The use of videos to promote your affiliate marketing is an effective way of redirecting your viewers straight to your affiliate website, make them go to your affiliate site to get more information after seeing your short video presentation
3.Offer free reports site visitors:
This is a good way of turning almost all your site visitors to potential buyers, rather than have them visit and just go away forever put your opt-in box somewhere around the top corner of your page so that they can provide information like their e-mail addresses so you can send them reports and auto-responder messages that promote your offers and eventually follow up on them to make a close, as most sales are not closed at the first contact but takes follow up to seal.
Your follow-up messages should be convincing to your readers, point out the importance of availing themselves of your offer and how and why having your affiliate product will have life easier and more enjoyable for them.

Become a Supreme Affiliate Marketer Today
A Super Affiliate is a marketer who reaches high sales volumes continously over a long period of time, resulting in a steady flow of concluded sales that never seems to drop off. Becoming a supreme partner is the dream of most affiliates because of the enormous finacial benefits of being amoung the three percent of affiliates making the big money in affiliate marketing.
It most be noted that to attain this exalted status a marketer must be ready to have attributes of a supreme marketer, which includes but not limited to the following:
1.Ability for recognizing opportunities that others can't or won't see.It takes quit more than a hunch to be able to decern what other everage marketers can't see, in other words you must be a creative thinker and have the capacity to come up with ways and techniques to generate revenue for products you want to promote.
2.Creativity or the ability to offer recycle old information in a new manner and maintain the curiosity of people and get them to take "buy now" actions.If you intend to develop into a supreme affiliate you must posses the ability to make something out of nothing and be able to think out of the box so as to be able to make a familiar thing appear entirely new which will in turn translate to more than normal sales.
3.Staying ahead of modern trends and know-how. This involves learning enough about the lastest technology so as to stay uptodate to needs of buyers and also ways of promoting to them in manners that make his products irresistable like knowing how to use articles, reports and submittion of classifieds in various formats to several sites for increased exposure
4.Another very crucial attribute a person must possess to become a supreme is the ability to have patience. A person must be patient enough to know that any worthwhile and stable systems involve well thoughtout and logic filled process and must not necessarily be driven by instant or overnight profits, but must be ready to work, nurture a secure affiliate network that will consistently deliver winning aces in terms of sales.
5.Ability to put in long hours of work.Despite the look of being very successful, most supreme affiliates put in very long hours of labor into their affiliate marketing efforts as much as 16-18 hours daily- as well as weekends and holidays.Anything less would not suffice because competiton in the internet marketing world is very stiff and it's very likely you don't have the lead that the "big boys" marketers enjoy in terms of large budget to finance their affiliate campaigns so to make up for what you may not have in cash, you must be willing to make up in terms of commited hours of work, there's a saying that "whatever works is being worked at"

AN ALL IN ONE TOOL THAT AUTOMATES YOUR INCOME
So you have finally stepped into the world of making money online. You too, like the others, have decided to start with the affiliate programs. Also, you must have heard that it’s not a big deal to make good money with affiliate marketing, provided you choose the right programs and do some strategic planning while promoting your affiliate products. So far so good.
Whether you are promoting other people’s products or promoting your own products – that doesn’t matter because after all it is nothing but your own business and your means to earn good money. So whichever be your case, I am sure you would not want to leave money on the table and invite others to steal your share of profit.
Even though the industry of affiliate marketing is pretty competitive but if you are cautious and are strategic in your marketing techniques then, it could be very profitable for you.
Take a close look at the industry, you will see that not every one who gets into affiliate marketing is successful. People who are doing well leave no room for failure and take all security measures and understand its importance.
Yes! Security is one of the key factors in affiliate marketing. If you do not adopt proper security measures, then your business will be at high risk. One of the most important way to restore security is to protect your affiliate links. Do not take them for granted. A bit of carelessness on your part in regards to affiliate links may cost you a lot of dollars.
Do you know the long complicated links that you send to your prospective customers not only look convoluted but they can create a lot of problems too! If you send such an affiliate link to your customers, then the smart ones will definitely figure out that you are promoting someone else’s product and they would rather visit the parent company. Also, if your link does not function then your customers have to type a really long URL into the browser, which will definitely put him or her off.
You could be a victim of even a worse situation. What if some devious Internet pirates steal your affiliate links and replace them with theirs. If they do that, then you get no commission at all.
Did I scare you off with all of the above possibilities? Well, that certainly wasn’t my intention. I just wanted to open your eyes and state facts that actually happen in the world of Internet. It happened with me until I came across ViralURL , that brought a revolution to my online ventures.
