Hi, i am quite new to affiliate marketing and i have been reading up and started to try bum marketing. Now i realise that bum marketing effectively brings in the target audience however what methods do you undertake to sell the product to them? The articles are there to bring in the target audience, yes? So how do you sell the product to them? Any advice would be great. Will.
From EzineArticles you send them to a landing page through a resource box, and on that landing page you have your affiliate links. You explain the product to them and how they can benefit from it. Your landing page can be anywhere like blogger or squidoo, or on your own website.
In my experience, as an affiliate my job is not to sell the product to the visitor (that is what the merchant's sales page is for). I take the angle of reviewing products (as do many other affiliate marketers) this is pre-selling to show the visitor the benefits of the product/service and how it can be used to solve their problem or give them what they want. As others have said... without sales hype.
