for the new affiliate marketers, what advice could you give the up and comers for the best ways to promote and create traffic?
YouTube. Learn videos and video marketing. And beware of shiny objects. Except for Pinterest - which ROCKS! And increased my traffic and cash by over 250% rather quickly...
First of all try to learn basics of affliate marketing through guides, tutorials, videos and experts, than choose the right strategy
Yes, learn how to market content. Rather than make your own links, earn them through marketing to the right people and take advantage of social media (in a legitimate way), establish a brand. Just because you're an affiliate, doesn't mean you can't become a legitimate authority on the product. After all, this is what Panda, Penguin, Page Layout and EMD updates are all about: putting the focus back on content.
The best ever advise is stick with it for a long time. Because then only you will find out which will work for you.
You start from basic and do strong your naive of affiliate marketers and after you learn big about affilated . You may go to search engine and fine more and more forum to improve your knowledge about affiliate.
Drive lots of super targeted visitors to a landing page. That's the best you can do. Focus on the quality of your visitors but not on the quantity, you would like to have visitors that are actually interested in what you have to offer and you don't want random ''stumblers''.
Write articles about your site and post them in article directories, comment on do-follow blogs, submit to directories, make a facebook, myspace and twitter account.
just pick a market and sub-market. start building your list right away either through a squeeze page or blog or both and build a relationship. Then promote offers occasionally.
I would tell every newbie to get Affiloblueprint or even better the Affilojetpack and stick to it. I was making good money using Affiloblueprint until Panda and Penguin deindexed my site due to getting backlinks from Buildmyrank.
