Introduction to Affiliate Marketing's Best Practices
Introduction
Hello and welcome to Top Affiliate Tactics, where you'll learn more than 8 effective ways to increase your affiliate commissions by selling other people's products and services.
This article covers several ways you've probably never heard of, as well as those you believed would never work. In essence, it's simply a matter of executing things correctly to make a life from affiliate marketing.
Which is intriguing because you can make a lot of money simply by advertising goods that you DON'T have to produce!
Of course, like with anything else in life, getting to the top requires a lot of work. But I promise that by reading the following pages, you will be able to dramatically shorten your learning curve and make fewer guesses... and mistakes!
This book has been written in the shortest and most accurate manner feasible. Because I know you're a very busy person (and it's no guess), and I also know you're eager and can't wait.
Without further ado, let's go right into the first of the eight techniques for increasing affiliate promotion... and commissions!
Taking Advantage of Classified Ads
The concept of using classified advertising to create sales for any product – whether original or affiliate – is frequently oversimplified and discouraged. This is partly due to the fact that it is one of the most difficult methods to promote.
It demands you to express an essential point with a limited number of words, which may make or break your capacity to generate interest in the product in issue. Most so-called experts will advise you against utilizing classified ads because they haven't had much experience with them – not because classified ads aren't a viable kind of promotion.
So, how can you make good use of classified advertising to drive a lot of traffic to your affiliate product sales page?
Finding viable venues to promote is the first step. Many so-called experts will chime in, either advising you to utilize free sites or claiming that free sites never work. The reality is somewhere in the middle here, too: free sites can be useful, but they must be used with caution. For example, if you want to get traffic from sites that let you post free classified ads, you'll need to locate ones that already have a lot of traffic.
Craigslist, which can be found at the following URL: craigslist.org, is an example of a site that receives a lot of traffic while also allowing you to submit classified advertisements for free.
You can publish classified advertisements for free as long as they are placed in the appropriate section. You may also do this on each of the craigslist sites for each of the United States' urban areas.
Yahoo is another site where you may publish free classified advertisements. This feature may be found at the following address: http://classifieds.yahoo.com/.
You may post a classified for whatever you want as long as it's on topic.
With this in mind, you'll want to think about the ideal method to write your classified ad. Personally, I recommend using psychological triggers in the headline or opening sentence.
Remember! You don't pay by the click with classifieds. Because it's either free or you're paying for a set amount of time or impressions, your objective should be to get as many clicks as possible. To do so, utilize terms like "cheap," "free," "proved," and "shocked."
Once your title has successfully brought attention to your ad, you'll want to clinch the deal by giving visitors a reason to click through, assuming your affiliate product is something they'll want to buy. This may be accomplished by expressing a measurable advantage in the classified ad's second line, followed by a critical characteristic in the third line.
You'll want to move on to big electronic publications, such as huge e-zines and authority sites, once you've got some experience placing advertisements on free classified ad mediums; but, you should be confident in your classified ad and conversion rate before doing so.
Taking Advantage of E-zine Advertising
Warning! If you're bored and want to make a fuss, go to an Internet marketing community and inquire how E-zine advertising compares to other marketing tactics.
The responses you receive will almost certainly be starkly opposite. This is due not just to the fact that each marketer has a product to sell – and it is in his best interest to defend the purpose of that product – but also to the fact that there has been a genuine discussion about the efficacy and direction of E-zines and E-zine advertising over the past several years.
Some argue that e-zine advertising is either dead or on the verge of dying. They believe that the ordinary individual is bombarded with unnecessary emails on a daily basis, some from friends and others from corporations and E-zines.
This, in their opinion, means that they are paying less attention to any emails that appear to be business-related, even if they have expressly subscribed to them.
They further claim that many individuals forget they joined mailing lists and finally stop responding to emails from that address. And all of this is true, which is why it's critical to consider while running E-zine advertising campaigns.
So, how can you promote successfully in E-zines while also making money from affiliate products?
There are several options, three of which I will discuss below:
1. Look for E-zines that are relevant to your affiliate product.
Make a viral report relating to your affiliate goods (as we discussed in the previous lesson). Purchase sponsor advertisements in respectable E-zines, and direct all interested parties to a page where they can get a free copy of your viral report. An affiliate link will be embedded in this report, which will generate sales on your behalf.
2. Create a persuasion-inducing solo advertisement.
Start by purchasing solo ad space in less expensive E-zines – ones that are responsive but have a small subscriber base. Test your solo ads to see what your conversion rate is with the affiliate product you've chosen. Once you've figured out your profit margin, try marketing your solo ads in larger publications, such as e-zines with over 100,000 subscribers. Keep in mind that this will be costly, but if you done your study in the previous phases, it will pay off.
3. Finally, consider placing your ads in high-end online publications.
These will include sites that aren't usually listed in E-zine directories, such as authority sites that publish a monthly PDF E-zine. These often have high response rates and, if used correctly, will also draw the best response.

Solo Ads: Are They Outdated or Resurgent?
Now we'll take a look at solo ads:
For years, Internet marketers have claimed that solo ads are outdated – that they're a dinosaur that can't make any money; however, another group of Internet marketers knows that the exact opposite is true: solo ads can make massive profits, but only if they're engineered perfectly, as well as the solo ad distributor chose carefully.
A single advertisement can be a variety of things. It's usually a huge ad in the centre of the page, between 200 and 300 words long. Solo advertisements have a greater click-through rate than any other possible alternatives, but they also catch readers' attention the most. If you have the funds available, a single ad might be a wise investment.
You must, however, perform due research on all investments (and ads for that matter). Now, when performing research for a solo commercial, you'll want to look at two things:
1) Make a list of your prospective advertising venues (most likely e-zines in this case); and
2) A list of possible techniques for your single advertisement.
Let's start with the first step, which is to compile a list of e-zines where you may place a solo ad. I recommend beginning with the Directory of E-zines, which may be found at the following URL:
This is the go-to place for advertisers that want access to all e-zines as well as advice on how to advertise in them. If you don't want to spend any money, I'd recommend beginning here:
After you've chosen a few trustworthy e-zines to advertise in, you'll want to start working on your solo ad. You may utilize a variety of writing "formulas" to accomplish this, but you should always keep in mind what your target consumer wants most.
It's all too easy in advertising to project our own desires for a product onto potential consumers; nevertheless, it's critical to communicate with them about their desires, not yours.
Now, when it comes to generating solo advertisements, I recommend that you spend some time studying about how to convert readers into customers at the following URL:
Every solo professional should be aware of six copywriting tips.
Furthermore, I recommend that you write as if you were writing for a specific media rather than simply producing copy. If your single ad will be published in an e-zine, for example, you should write as if you are contacting members of a mailing list.
