It
is much easier now, compared to the days when people have to make use
of the telephones and other mediums of information just to get the
latest updates on the way their program is coming along.
So
with technology at hand, and assuming that the affiliate is working
from home, a day in his or her life would sound something like this…
Upon waking up and after having breakfast, the various platforms are visited to check out new developments in the network.
As
far as the marketer is concerned there might be new changes to make, in
order to stabilize statistics - as well as to massively Scale - Up
Investments in traffic.
The
site functions may have to be revised. The marketer knows that a
well-designed site can increase sign ups from visitors. It can also help
in the affiliate’s conversion rates.
Establish your 'root' concept of promoting the affiliate program.
Track down every conversion you are getting accurately. See if they are new clients checking out further products.
In
the process of doing all the necessities, the marketer is logged on to
social media sites where he or she interacts with other affiliates and
those under that same program.
This is where they can discuss things on how to best promote their products.
There are things to be learned and it is a continuous process.
Sharing tips and advices is a good way of showing support.
There
may be others out there wanting to join and may be enticed by the
discussion that is going on. There is no harm in assuming what
opportunities ahead.
There’s one word that can carry quite a bit of power when used
As part of your marketing message:
“Free”.
Admittedly, “free” doesn’t carry the weight it used to. With everyone reaching the point of becoming over-saturated with marketing messages, something that has the word “free” attached to it has almost become a turn-off…especially online.
But it can still be a very effective tool, when used correctly; for example, as an inducement to opt-in to your newsletter or email list.
In many people’s minds, a successful marketing message has lots of exclamation points, underlines and flashing messages.
These things were all adopted to make the message stand out; the tables have now turned, however. The messages that stand out are the ones that don’t scream at the reader, but instead offer value in return for their time or business.
Giving someone a free gift for signing up for your newsletter can still be an effective tool, as long as the free gift is relevant to the reason they wound up at your business site to begin with.
If your business is financial advice, don’t offer a free report on advertising tips to your visitors. That’s not why they came to your site, and it won’t entice them to sign up.
However, if they came to your site to find information on financial advice, an offer of a free report on basic investment tips would be useful to them, and a much more effective enticement.
“But Dave,” I can hear you say, “I’m trying to sell them financial advice…why would I give it to them?”
For the same reason anyone offers free samples…to earn the customers’ trust in your product or service. If they like the free information and find it useful, they are becoming sold on you.
Of course, it doesn’t have to be a free report. You can offer a free trial of your software, a free ebook…anything that will help build your image as a business your customers can trust to help them with their needs.
Many => Internet Marketers Are faced with the gargantuan task of... Having to overcome the lack of LEADS It is the Internet, after all.
The anonymity in these virtual halls makes it difficult for any online businessman to win the trust of his prospective customers.
Yes, the online businessman may pay thousands of dollars for a truly engaging and convincing sales page, but as often is the case, these words are not enough to win a sale. Why?
Because these words will still be associated with the online businessman, and people do not expect him to badmouth his own products. That he will talk favorably about his offers is a given.
But what if a third party would share some favorable words about the online businessman and the product he is offering?
Surely, his statement would bear more weight than the sales pitch of the businessman himself, right? After all, the third party has no stakes on the success of the campaign.
Such is the importance of testimonials for most sales pages. They greatly contribute to the conversion rate the sales copy would manage to pull off, essentially because of their seemingly objective nature.
Almost every online businessman – your competitors included – will be on the lookout for people who will be willing to provide for them some generously written testimonials.
To gather these, online marketers even go to the extent of giving away free samples of their products for review purposes.
Now, here’s the trick.
One of the incentives to encourage favorable testimonials is the mention of the testimonial giver’s link on the sales page itself. There are many benefits to this.
If your link can be found in your competitor’s sales page, then chances are, you will be targeting the same market. Since the people who will be reading your competitor’s sales page are already there, we could assume that they are highly targeted leads. Once they see your link, there is a great chance that they’d get transported to your own sales page, which would only work wonders for you.
If your competitor’s sales page has a higher page rank (PR), having your link in the said copy would provide a boost to your own website’s PR.
In any event, it is an additional back link for your website which would only increase your link popularity.
Yes, by giving a favorable testimonial for your competitor’s campaign, you’d be helping him bag more sales. But then again, internet marketing is not really a dog-eat-dog kind of business. His success can make the industry very healthy. And the fact that your link will be prominently displayed on his sales page could only mean that you could share his success, eventually.
So, the next time someone asks you for a testimonial, take some time to prepare for him a good one. You’ll gain immediate results for your own business.
And who knows? Someday, he might even return the favor with a testimonial of his own.
Constructingan effective -> ( Email Campaign ) may seem to be an art, but there’s a good bit of science involved as well.
Each article in your newsletter should answer the “Six W’s” known to all journalism students…
Who, What, Where, When, Why and how…about their subject.
However, there is one other question you need to answer is “Why should I care?”
That is the big one.
The first six won’t matter if you don’t show your subscribers why the subject is important to them. Don’t assume they will figure it out…make it clear.
You may be offering an anecdote or tip that could show them how to better accomplish their goals; if so, great! Be sure that you tell them how.
Be clear with your message…”Listen to this…it’ll help you because __________!”
As I’ve said before, promoting your business is perfectly fine in your
newsletter, as long as you make sure that’s not all that you do. Give
your readers useful content with “nothing in it for you”; this will
build trust with your readers, increase your credibility and increase
the likelihood that a subscriber will become a customer.
This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t promote your product or service…far from
it! After all, that’s one of the purposes of your newsletter.
Your promotion can be anything from a full-blown ad to a simple “Let us
help” style link to your offer on your website. Just remember,
television, radio, magazines and newspapers have content for a
reason…their audience comes for the content, which gives those mediums an opportunity to present advertising messages.
Make sure that you give subscribers content to come for, or it won’t
matter how good your marketing message is, because few (if any) will
ever see it.
Also, even though you may not think of a newsletter as interactive, it
is (and should be). Give your subscribers the means to request topics
and subjects they would like to read about in future newsletters.
This will prompt “buy-in” from your readers, as long as you follow through on suggestions.
When you answer questions or provide asked-for content, give them credit
for the question or idea when possible. This will allow that reader to
feel a sense of ownership in your newsletter (and probably result in
that issue being forwarded to their friends and coworkers, bringing your
message to new eyes), and prompt other readers to do the same thing.
And don’t forget to give subscribers a clear, simple method of
unsubscribing. You have to do this to stay compliant with the laws
governing email marketing, but it’s also the equivalent of a money-back
guarantee…if someone knows they can stop receiving your newsletter any
time they choose, it makes it easier for them to make the commitment to
become a subscriber.
If your newsletter is useful to them, however, the chance of getting an “unsubscribe” message is small.
A newsletter should include the following:
A welcome and/or thanks for subscribing.
A useful article.
Your advertising message.
Contact information for readers
to ask questions or suggest topics they would like to learn more about
in a future newsletter, which can lead to an increased readership for
your message and loyal subscribers.
A simple unsubscribe process.
Is this all it takes? Not necessarily; each newsletter should be an
original outgrowth of your business website, so each one should be
different, but this list of elements is a good starting point when
creating your newsletter’s layout.
