Affiliate Marketing Basics: Let’s Talk Traffic

Hot:

When you’re just getting started as an Affiliate Marketer one of the first, and possibly the most important, skill you need to learn involves traffic – specifically what it is and how to get it.

Why?

Here’s why. As an affiliate, your job is to find people who want to buy the products you’re promoting, right? So to do that, you need to write an ad (or hire a copywriter to write it for you), and send people to a Website where they can buy the product.

BUT – there’s a serious problem with this method. Do you see what it is?

Anywhere from 60 to 95% of the people you send to the sales page probably aren’t going to buy the first time.

1. Most people want to be certain that they’re making the right decision, so they usually need to see or hear from you between 5 to 12 times before making a buying decision.

2. If you’re paying for the ad and sending people to the seller’s Website, the ones who don’t buy disappear forever. (And neither you nor the seller will benefit.)

3. Of those who do buy, if you’re only sending them to the sales page, YOU still lose them forever because you have no way of knowing who they are.

Here’s one great solution:

1. Write your ad and send your prospects to a well-written squeeze page – YOUR squeeze page. A squeeze page is a single page Website that has one purpose – to convince prospects to give you their contact information. Squeeze pages need to be simple – no flash, no links, and if you use a graphic or photo, keep it very simple and make sure it relates to the theme and focus of the page. How do you convince prospects to give you their contact information? By giving them information that is useful to them.

2. Offer them an incentive to give you their contact information. (A free report, a free newsletter, an audio or video product – be sure it’s related to your niche or affiliate product.)

3. Then, after they’ve opted in to your autoresponder, send them to your affiliate sales page.

4. Next, follow up on a regular basis – mix good information, free bonuses from time to time and, later, additional products.

Lather, rinse, repeat.
(As soon as you’re making money from your first affiliate product, move on to the next and then the next and the next.)

The best thing about this is that you can set up the majority of this on your autoresponder, so it becomes a “system” and runs “almost” on autopilot. (Runs “almost” on autopilot…There is simply NO SUCH THING as a business that runs 100% on autopilot – don’t believe anyone who tells you differently.)

Any business – any real business – takes work and effort. But by setting this up as a system, your autoresponder does the majority of the work. You’ll only need to do simple updates, making sure that fresh information keeps flowing.

I Never Saw This Coming – and it’s Amazing

Hot:

Wannabee Goo-Roos all over the world made appointments with their cardiologists earlier this week when REAL Marketing Guru Gary Ambrose disclosed publicly a project he’s been working on for almost 2 years…

It’s called ListWire, and it is a 100% FREE Autoresponder Service with literally NO limitations.

Now I was lucky to be able to watch Gary’s video announcement in its entirety, and I was really impressed. He was more ‘transparent’ than I’ve ever heard or seen a very successful marketer be… especially in front of a camera. In case you’ve never heard of Gary, he’s been online full-time for almost 12 years, has had multiple hundreds of thousand dollar launches, and a few years ago, if he wanted to, he would come in 1st place in any affiliate launch he decided to join.

Gary is still young, but something has changed. During the video he brought up the term reciprocity several times, referring to a book about influencing others. HE FIRMLY BELIEVES THAT BY HELPING US SUCCEED HE WILL END UP WITH, LITERALLY, AN ARMY OF AFFILIATES WHO WILL WANT TO “PAY HIM BACK” WHEN HE HAS A LAUNCH OR A PROMO.

And I have a feeling he is going to be right.

Understand that during this entire video, I was looking for the “Gotcha!” I could not get my head around the idea that he could offer a service with all of the bells and whistles of any major auto-responder for free! And that includes unlimited autoresponders, unlimited broadcasts and follow ups, seperate “list” email address… and there’s more!

Assuming you’re with AWEBER or Get Response, you will automatically see an extra $299 bucks in your purse or wallet evey year. But that’s just the very small beginning…

The biggest gain is for those that have not been able to have an autoresponder yet- for whatever reason. Finally, starting today, you can actually start building that elusive list! That can easily translate to “today was the day you finally began to make money online!”

There are NO strings, NO credit cards, NO PayPal… Heck- there’s not even a PLACE to upgrade! (Heard enough? Grab yours now!)

(Finally A  LIST – YOUR OWN OPT-IN LIST!)

There isn’t even a reason to hurry- it won’t sell out (at least for a while). Although you do want to be one of the first to get yours!

So don’t rush, but do go claim your 100% Free Opt-In Autoresponder from Gary Ambrose… Today.
