Things To Know About Affiliate Marketing
The truth behind affiliate marketing is the fact that 90% of affiliates will actually make less than 100$
a month. Therefore, you shouldn't count on making full time income unless you can get very good at the
following:
| 1. Building a good web site that converts. 2. Search engine optimization. You'll need a lot of traffic, as maybe 1 out of 200 visitors will buy your products. SEO can help you get your site in the search engines so more people will be able to find you. 3. The trial and error of picking the right merchants and learning the correct ways to promote them. |
How long you'll need to do it depends on how much money you are wanting to make. If you are a quick learner and really good at affiliate marketing, you may high 2,000 in 2 years. This is based on the fact that you are starting at 0 and the fact that you have another full time job, not being able to devote a lot of time working with your affiliate marketing program.
If you decide to give it a try, the hardest challenge will be the first few months. If you check your stats and see that you are only making a couple of bucks, you'll find yourself wondering if all the hard work was worth it. If you get some sales going and stay committed with your hard work, the commissions should start growing.
One of the biggest factors with affiliate marketing is the traffic that goes through your site. Even though you'll get a lot of traffic passing through your website, only a fraction of the traffic will be buyers.
The key here is knowing your visitors and then being able to determine which affiliate programs you can offer to meet their needs. There is also the concept of pre sale, which is the ability to put your visitors in the required open and mind set that's required for them to actually click on what you are selling.
By sticking with affiliate marketing, you'll learn more and more over the years. You can't expect to be the best when you first start, it'll take a lot of hard work and dedication. By putting the time and effort into your programs, you'll be well on your way to making it in the very profitable and exciting world of affiliate marketing.

Affiliate Marketing Survival Tips
Once you've signed up for what appears to be a great affiliate program, you've already developed your strategy, selected your banners, and other materials for marketing.
Once you've figured everything out, you may still have problems developing marketing strategies and find yourself wondering what's wrong. Below, you'll find some of the most common issues that affect sales commissions and leads.
Soggy cookies:
A lot of merchants use cookies for tracking your referrals. As a majority of customers don't purchase on the first visit, cookies allow for potential referrals to be tagged with your ID so that if they do purchase later, you'll get the credit for the sale.
The duration for the cookies will vary from merchant to merchant. Some last as short as a single session, while others can last for years. If the visitor flushes their cookies on a regular basis, has cookie blocking software, or the program from the merchant isn't operating correctly, there really isn't anything you can do.
Multiple methods of payment If you've joined an affiliate program through a network that processes payments of products on behalf of merchants, it's not uncommon for merchants to offer several methods of payment. While this is great for customers, it's bad for affiliates.
Before you begin to advertise any products or services as an affiliate of a network, always check the merchant site carefully. If you have any doubt, contact the merchant before you proceed any further.
Monitoring your arrangements:
Even the most honest of merchants will have problems with their affiliate software at some point in time. Therefore, it's important to regularly check cookies and merchant sites for any changes that may affect your pay.
