I'm Beginning with Affiliate Marketing but I Have Few Questions For You... Hey Guys, I'm complete newbie in AM. I just want to know a few ideas so I could work towards them to get better results.. My questions are... 1. Is paid advertising worth trying in the beginning? 2. Some ways to generate traffic? 3. Can I make money without building list? 4. Do you have any recommendation for me?... Your replies will be very much helpful to me. Thank You!
1. Is paid advertising worth trying in the beginning? It depends on what type of paid advertising your refering to, what type of product your promoting, and how much money you have. I believe it was Robert Kiyosaki who said "don't invest with money you can't afford to lose." That being said, some products will sell very well with PPC. Others will do horrible. That's why so many people build lists... It's not just for free traffic. But to establish relationships, build reciprocity, and develop a rapport. Additionally there are many different types of traffic that you can pay for ranging from PPC, to solo ads, to media buys, so it really depends on what 'type' of paid traffic you're referring to. 2. Some ways to generate traffic? Article Marketing, SEO, Forum Marketing, Press releases, Social Networks, PPC, Guest Blogging, Yahoo Answers, Free Online Classified ads, Offline Classifieds, holding a contest, Word of Mouth... 3. Can I make money without building list? Yes, you can. But why waste traffic? Not everyone will buy - especially on the first visit. But if your going to make some decent money without a list then you've better get testing... There are over 10000 products in clickbank. It's your job to see which ones are the easiest to promote. Additionally if your not going to build a list, then you'd also better make sure that you sharpen your other skills because your going to need 'em. PPC is not as easy as it seems especially at first. Neither is SEO. Neither is Article Marketing... And listbuilding may not be as well... But it can be one of the most profitable. 4. Do you have any recommendation for me? Start like most of us did - With article marketing. Learn your keyword and market research first. Test everything - landing pages, images, etc. EVERYTHING. Especially products. As I said earlier, there are over 10000 products in clickbank for you to promote... Start testing to find the ones that sell. And all though you've probably heard to only stay with high gravity products, don't be afraid to promote low gravity products as well. Believe it or not sometiems they sell just as well. And lastly learn the basics of copywriting - not so much the hype that you see nowadays, but the basic principles. Learn how to evoke emotion, and how to reason to logic. Clayton Makepeace is one of the best out there... Gary halbert is also another good one. And any copywriters who might be reading this will know that I left out a HUGE list... Hope this helps.
Seems to be double thread, or triple, or...wondering why the moderators are not deleting the threads with the same question!
Learn as much as you can first. Then you won't and loose money because you jump in uninformed. Otherwise follow a proven system! I prefer that!
Very good advice (smile633) I just wanted to add - stay away from Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising until you learn a lot about it. Yes you can make a lot of money using PPC. But you can loose a lot too (very fast) Learn as much as possible before starting your paid advertising campaigns. Thanks, Duane
Yes you can. If you have own product, find out JV, give them special offer, free review and higher commision than others, and make them will selling your product by their list.
