Hey guys,I need a little bit of help. I am about to start a campaign, and I was wondering what would you all would recommend. When I send my visitors to a link, should it be to a free e-book with my one affiliate link at the end of it, or should I just send them straight to the my offer with a domain redirect. Thanks for the replies.
I think having a free ebook available for download is the way to go. I've seen this done pretty often and there's a chance that the ebook will be passed around if the content is good. You can try including your affiliate link on various pages (not just the end), but just make sure that you're not shoving the product into the faces of your readers -- try using specific words/phrases (or the name of the topic/product/service) to link to your affiliate page rather than openly copying and pasting the URL on the pages.
I've tested with free ebook or free ecourse, something whatever and it's better... followup with them too, try to sell not just once in each follow up giving them tips in each followup
One thing to remember about internet marketing if you want to be in it for the long run.... provide valuable content FIRST to build the "know/like/trust" element with your audience. Then when you sell, it won't appear like you're selling, but it will appear more a like a friend making a suggestion to a product or service that you think they may like. Also, only promote products/services that you feel are truly beneficial to your subscribers, not to your bottom line. So in your case, providing an ebook that has valuable information that they are looking for is better than sending them to the offer. Also, by getting them to opt-in to your ebook, you now have a list of prospects you can market to in the future. If you just send them straight to the offer page, you won't have this valuable list. ~Kim
Many people online today are a little cautious to give out there email address. They are worried their address will be sold, abused or whatever, and they will receive tons of unwanted spam mail. One of the ways to combat this is to earn their trust and give them something of value in return for their email address. Of course it is best to give away something that is related to your site, and the reason they are on it in the first place. This free gift can be anything like a short video, a podcast, a short report, or anything else of significant value. Of course you don't want to give away the farm with your freebie. Give away enough to entice the prospect to want further information. Dangle the bait in front of them, and many will bite.
You guys are certainly right. I'm gonna go with the ebook. Theres more potential benefit in the long run for everybody. Thanks guys.
Instead of putting just 1 affiliate link put affiliate links all though it so when people want too use a service you are suggestiong too use in your ebook then you are getting commission from multiple source's. You might already be doing this but just a thought from you said your one affiliate link at the end of the book. Good luck hope it goes well.
