Affiliate Marketing is simple after you've established the necessary foundation and trackers for consistent content creation and organizing.
To do so, you'll need tools to automate some chores and increase your productivity, especially if you're doing everything by yourself.
🎖𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐚 𝐀𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬 - Because it's a free application for tracking and extracting statistical data about your site visitors, Google Analytics is ideal for small enterprises or those with a website.
However, it's preferable to use this in conjunction with a conversion optimization tool to get a more in-depth understanding of why your statistical data is the way it is.
🎖𝐄𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐥 𝐂𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐬 — You can create a series of email newsletters containing links to your site or to your affiliate partners, and schedule when they'll be sent.
You'll also be able to see how many individuals clicked on your email and links against how many didn't, allowing you to see where you can improve.
🎖𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 – It's ideal to be strategic about getting content out there (articles, infographics, videos, etc.) by knowing exactly what's the most recent, relevant, and high-quality topic with a high search demand.
Knowing how to conduct keyword research is quite beneficial!
🎖𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐡𝐢𝐜 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧 – Drag-and-drop sites like Canva can help you make the visual elements for your site.
This is especially helpful if you don’t have any Photoshop skills or have the time to learn them.
🎖𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐫𝐬 – You need to see how your affiliate links are earning, see whether the cookies have expired or not, and other metrics you need.
Aside from affiliate link trackers, you also need to track your outreach campaigns made to increase your authority and popularity (websites you’ve contacted, contact details, progress status, etc.)
🎖𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 – Scheduling your posts works best if you’re producing a lot of content in multiple places (like your website and its social media pages) and want to publish them at a specific time frame that would get the most views and engagement.
Affiliate Marketing is a combination of using the analytical and the creative side of your brain.
You need to know what attracts people based on actual data and have the tools to do something about it and organize everything as well.
These are important tools that you can use. At the end of the day, numbers don't lie. Work smart. Now, get started and apply. Our little ones deserve the best. YOU deserve the best. See you on the next post.
