There are a few things you can do to improve your chances for making money with an affiliate marketing programme:
•Get lots (and lots, and lots) of traffic visiting the websites you use or good number of followers on your Twitter account and friends on your facebook, BBM, Whatapp, among others, for your affiliate programs.
•Associate only with good affiliate marketing programmes that offer products or services or information that your website visitors or contacts on your social network accounts will actually want to purchase.
•Look for affiliate programmes that pay high commission rates on time and who keep their customers happy, not just their affiliate marketers, by providing actual value.
•Look for affiliate programmes in your area (country), so as to avoid working in vain (without being paid after a lot of efforts would have been invested on it).
•If you are using a website, you need to provide content on your home business website that is related to what your affiliate programmes are offering. Ideally, your affiliate programme links should blend in with your content - not deceptively, but so that they don’t disrupt the flow of your web pages.

In general, text affiliate marketing programme links seem to convert better than image links. Most affiliate marketing programmes don’t require you use the exact text they provide in the code. (Unfortunately, some of these links are pretty terrible and most seem to want to use “click here” for the text that creates the link.)
•Consider inserting rel=”nofollow” into your affiliate programme links so that you do not drain off the ranking power of your website to the affiliate programme.
•If you also use ads on your website, such as Google AdSense for making money, be advised that having both affiliate program links and AdSense links on the same page may result in poor performance of both. I’ve seen actual cases where AdSense revenues fell after adding affiliate marketing program links.
•If you can afford to experiment a bit, try setting up advertisements for your affiliate marketing programme (make sure your affiliate programme allows you to use their product names, etc. and allows you to advertise as part of your affiliate programme).

If it costs you about $20 to advertise and you make $40 commission per sale, it would be well worth it to advertise. One successful affiliate marketer told me that pay per click advertising with Google AdWords was how he was able to make money - more than both of his parents combined - with an affiliate programme.
I make $20 for each 20 minute survey!
ReplyDeleteGuess what? This is exactly what large companies are paying for. They need to know what their customer base needs and wants. So large companies pay $1,000,000's of dollars per month to the average person. In return, the average person, like me, participates in surveys and gives them their opinion.
