Without further testimony let’s begin with affiliate marketing strategy.

One of the hardest parts about affiliate marketing is promotion, to get high traffic and to sell your offers. You might be thinking of every possible strategy but nothing comes from your head. Believe me! At first I am also doing that. All you need to do is to provide some effective and no cost ways of promoting your affiliate products that will suit your style.

I’m not going to sell you anything from this or promote a product like others did. I am writing this so that somebody like me who was starting their feet to ride in the world of internet marketing get their buddy who will guide and redirect their path. I will tell you what I have learned from years of experience. So sit there and continue reading.

Finding a product to sell

In finding product to sell, you must first consider your interest most especially when you are going to promote it in your site or blog. There are hundreds of thousand product there you can promote and get high paying commission of 30% - 70% or even a 100%. 100% instant commission is my favourite but before we you went to that, you must first try to sell products with commissions of 30% to 70% if you’re new to affiliate marketing. Why? This is for you to have training so you don’t waste your time selling the 100% commission but no one is buying your product. I know you don’t want it but you can do it if you want.

How do you find these products? You can search directly through search engine or do the shortcut. There are several places but I recommend www.Clickbank.com or www.paydotcom.com if you want to sell digital products. Why digital products? The only answer is that this is the fast and easiest way you can catch a sale in affiliate marketing. People today are fun of reading and surfing the net looking for a good digital product. This is fewer burdens since they can just click the buy button and the product can be downloaded instantly unlike the hard bounded merchandise that they have to wait for the deliver thought there are online shoppers who bought that kind of goods. I am only telling that for you to be an established affiliate marketer you must first sell products that are easy to sell and get commission instantly but you can do the same if you want.

Another thing that you must consider is where do you want your commission stays? If your don’t have yet a PayPal account you must first sign up there for free. Just google it or simply click through the link www.paypal.com or type it in your browser. This will help you receiving all your commission from you sales throughout being an affiliate marketer.

Now let’s say you want to sell a product about “affiliate marketing”. So you go to ClickBank marketplace to find a product to promote about “affiliate marketing” and you’ll there’s a lot of eBook about it meaning people are buying them. (You can search for the keyword of the product you want, this is just an example.) Look for the product with good gravity. Good gravity means it must be higher than 50 and must have a search volume of 15k searches per month on some keywords.

The wonderful part is researching for at least top 10 keywords you may need using free keyword tools. You may use google keyword tool or http://freekeywords.wordtracker.com to check out for your keywords.

Selling Process

So you have your product, affiliate ID and keywords. The next thing is to write an article about your selected product. For you to be successful in affiliate marketing you must not put all your eggs in one basket and you know that. You should keep linking your affiliate link to your site when you are writing articles. Also, you can put you affiliate link at the end of your articles under the author’s box. But be very careful that you have read the terms of use. Some sites don’t permit directly putting your affiliate link to them. You might use shorten link using http://tinyurl.com or you link them to your site where your affiliate links can be found on you page.

You can submit your articles to ezinearticles and goarticles. These are only two among the most popular article directories. Take note! You need to write more article but be careful not to over use or you will be marked as spamming them and you don’t want it to happen.

Register a domain name to any registrar of your choice. You can use cheap domain registrar such as www.namecheap.com or www.godaddy.com and make a redirection of your affiliate link. Be sure that your domain name is simple and search engine friendly. I suggest you use your keyword in your domain.

You can also use www.squidoo.com as your website. It is a user content generated website that took the internet by storm. Squidoo lets you create a webpage called “lens” where you can write something about your topic. You must search and read more for it. It’s free to join and you can use www.squidoo.com for free. After your registration, you will be prompted to start building your lens which is a great thing for affiliate marketing since you can put your keyword in your lens such as www.squidoo.com/affiliatemarketing.

Now you’re set. You have your way on affiliate marketing. If you want to be a super affiliate marketer, you can also create video and upload it at www.youtube.com for it is the second most visited site in the internet. Under the description, you can put your link there to redirect to your site or blog or articles that you’ve written.
