So by now you have found a product that you want to promote and have a market audience in mind. You have the answer to their problems. You are eager to get started. Now how do you build a campaign in order to sell to them easily, well you might want to think about this one real hard…

You Need a Sales Process Map

What I mean by this is that you have to map out the paths that people will take in order to get to the product you are promoting. Will they read an article you are promoting, click on a link, end up on your page, and then get sent to the product’s pitch page? What will their state of mind be as they go along this path? Figure out what works best for your product and your audience. Every combination is unique.

Traffic Strategies and Consistency

You have to have some traffic generation strategies in place. How are you going to send people to your site or your product’s pitch page? You can use a number of ways like creating videos, PPC, paid, articles, classifieds, etc. Those are just some ways you can generate traffic. The part you should really focus on though is being consistent and persistent. Keep on doing this every day. If you post on forums, then post every day. You can’t just take a shower once, you must do it every day. If not, you will smell bad.

Building Destinations Depending on their State

Is your audience interested in your product or do they have a desire to get it right now? These are the types of things you should know about your target audience. If your audience was just interested in what you had to buy, then you obviously wouldn’t send them to the pitch page. You would need to have a page of your own where you get their name and email address. Then you have a chance to shape (or whip) them into buying what you have to offer. Send them to different places depending on their state of mind.

The Incorporation

Incorporate your marketing campaign into your daily schedule (I bet you thought I was going to say incorporate your company). What do you have to do every day in order to be successful? Write it down on a piece of paper. It should look something like this: 9:00AM – Advertise on forums, 11:00AM – Improve PPC Campaigns, 1:00PM – Split test landing page, etc, etc, etc. Think of this as an action plan. You brainstorm the actions you must take so that you can focus every day.

Hopefully these tips were helpful. You can go ahead and use them now. Remember to be consistent and to test things out. Testing is very important. This is me signing off…

Affiliate marketing is perhaps the easiest way to create an income on the internet. You do not need to have your own product or even your own website. As easy as it may be, many affiliates struggle to make a living off of it, and it is probably because they are not following these tips…
 
Choose One Marketing Strategy

The reason that so many new affiliates are saying “how come I’m not making any money?” is because they want to try everything at once. So many beginners are writing articles, managing a PPC campaign, linking, and creating videos right on their first day of being an affiliate. They try to learn everything at once thinking that they will make more. But the truth is you are just spreading yourself to thin. Go out there and look at all the different strategies. Pick one and stick to it for at least 3 months. It is better and much easier than sticking to 10 things for 3 months.

Stick with One Product

Another thing you should be aware of especially when you are just beginning is that you should only market one or two products. As you start getting more successful, you will be mature enough to market 5 products at a time and so on. The reason you should stick to one in the beginning is because you will be able to soak in more knowledge and experience. You will have more focus. You can improve upon your mistakes and have a clearer view of what is going on.
 
Find a Mentor

This is the most important part. I bet that you are thinking that it is not worth paying for any kind of knowledge or mentorship. The truth is that you will make money much faster if you just let someone else teach you all the shortcuts. Let them build you a foundation and then just add on to it as you go along with your own experiments. You don’t always have to pay for this kind of help; you can simply just read the articles (or videos) of those whom interest you for free. But they always leave important pieces out. Just buy their stuff and see what can happen.

These tips are yours to keep and to follow. You can either ignore me and move on to reading another article, or you can take my advice and apply this into your own life. Remember to keep on learning and keep on adapting, this is me signing off…

For one reason or another you decided to get involved in affiliate marketing or some other form of online marketing. Regardless of what you are going to do I will try to give you some tips that should help your business take off more smoothly. This will not be one of those “how to get rich quick” guides. While it is possible to make thousands of dollars a day, if you are just starting out, focus on making one sale at a time. This is how real businesses grow and this is by far the fastest way of making money online. Enough chit chat, so how do you get started:

1) Make sure you have realistic goals and expectations. Like I said above it is possible to make a lot of money online. More and more people are using the internet and that means that there are more and more transactions made in the eWorld. If you want to have a piece of this cake you might want to focus on the step you are taking right now. Forget for a second about building a big mailing list if you do not know how to set up an opt in form. Make sure that you know how to set up a blog, Twitter or Squidoo account before you start thinking about lunching a new campaign. Focus on the basics and perfect them instead of looking for that next new trick.

2) Make sure that you are learning from the right people. There are so many educational products coming out every year that I could not even keep track of them, unfortunately not all of them are good. Before buying something look for reviews threw Google or any other search engine. Make sure that the person you are learning from has some experience behind them and is not just another self proclaimed guru who is selling the same rehashed information from years past.

3) Look for free samples or some other way to find out for yourself if the product is worth anything. Most of the guys out there, if they have really quality material, will send you free eBooks, links to some videos and even provide online forums in which you can ask your questions and talk with similar minded folks. Even when you move up to the more advanced stuff expect to see bonuses such as free manuals or training videos. Nothing in this world is free, but a good bargain is something that everyone is entitled to.

These are only 3 quick points but I if you apply them, you will quickly notice that about 70% of products out there just fall to the side. Making money is definitely possible; just make sure you go about it the right way.
