Hello everyone I would like to know what method works for you the best, for promotion your products? I know there tons of ways, how to promote products, but some of them are effective, some are not. For me, PPC works the best. Also free classifieds sometimes work for me What about you?
SEO seems to work even better than PPC. Blogging doesn't work for me at all, same with articles. Opt-in list, of course, it's great. What do you exactly mean by Viral Marketing? www.myspace.com ?
I always wanted to create an Opt-in list, but all the time when I think about starting doing that, it just kills me
I wish I could get my adwords account back. Without Adwords I feel like I haven't got something really useful.
I always wanted to create an Opt-in list, but all the time when I think about starting doing that, it just kills me Man I laughed at that one..I know I think the exact same thing. Email has kind of a suspicious or 'dirty' nature ....not a trusted interface to the average user (phishing, virus etc) Make your site Google friendly ...F the rest
stationg I tried to do some kind of "Manual E-mail Marketing"(without Autoresponder). I collected about 300 emails, and I was sending them different offers during a week. For the whole week I had like 10 clicks from all these people, and obviously no sales I know many ways how to promote products, but so far, I think the best are SEO and PPC. Both are difficult, but effective.
bl4ckmaN^, what happened to your adwords account? did you get banned? for what reason... i use PPC, and SEO as well. PPC at this point is making conversions quicker then my SEO....but Im very new to this whole game anyways
I was suspended for violation of Copyright rules(I was advertising PSP Downloads) Now, I am thinking how to get back to Adwords, because I think it's the best way to make money as an affiliate if you how to use PPC.
bl4ckmaN, why don't you register a new adwords account? I am using 3 different adwords accounts and everything is ok.
if i had a nice sales copy page i could do better, the best thing i can do right now is sending traffic directly to affiliate pages. And i feel i can get more sales with a good sales page, i could also use PPC then.
Devour I tried to create another account, but I couldn't activate it, because they decline my card. Even though, if I activate it with another card, they will suspend the account, as it will be related to the old one. The only thing that I can do, is to use other person's Adwords account
I think that if you stick to no more than 2-3 marketing tactics, you will plateau. It also depends on which side of the stripe you are on (aff/vendor). I feel combining 5 (at least) powerful proven techniques will yield best results. If you have money: PPC Paid reviews Forum sponsorship Site Specific Banners Print & Radio (yes, as an affiliate w/your own .com or lander). If you don't have financial resources: (at least have enough to get hosting/domain and landing pages going). * Bar none a combination of ezine articles, 3-5 niches, all great SEO landing pages, all with opt-ins/aweber/7+ followups... -- * Blogger/Wordpress/squid for long term results (in 2 years when you have xxx or xxxx articles & blogs you look GOOD). * Youtube with your URL placed in a specific way on the right. Cheers, NC.
NCMedia Thanks for suggestions. "Blogger/Wordpress/squid for long term results" That's why I don't like Bum Marketing, as you don't see the results immediately.
PPC is great but make sure you have a budget you can work with. theres no point spending your rent money even if you are making good profit because you most likely won't see a check for a month to two months. Also pay attention to your "profits" from PPC, people see 100$ a day on there affiliate stats but they forget how much they are spending to get that, if your spending 80$ a day to get 100$ a day thats only 20$ a day and 600$ a month. Personally Hardly worth it. Not to mention the swings of being an affiliate marketer. Its very dangerous work if your boarderline bills every month. one day you could make 10$ instead of 100$ and lose a lot of money on that day which could set you back. If you really want to be successful with affiliate marketing the real secret is. Do both! PPC doesn't require a lot of work after you found a right formula for profit, after you got a nice 50-100$ profit a day through PPC then start doing bum marketing tactics and Link building. That secures your site on the internet instead of those sites which are thrown up one month and taken down the next. as long as that website is up there is potential buyers heading to it even if its only 1 unique a day thats one potential sale every day.
I know how to use PPC now. First when I started using it, I spent a lot of money to make sales, but gained experience, that's how we learn. I hardly was making any profit, but the important thing is that I understood how to use it. At the moment, I don't have an available adwords account, that's my problem I am trying to use YSM, but it doesn't work for me.
