First Thing’s First – Avoid These Silly Affiliate Marketing
Mistakes!
While affiliate marketing is a great way to earn a living, the fact is that many people become discouraged and drop out of programs. In many instances, the failure to be successful with affiliate marketing has to do with making a few simple mistakes. Here are some examples of those mistakes and why they should be avoided.
Perhaps the most common misconception about affiliate marketing is that one can rake
in huge amounts of revenue simply by slapping up a low-quality website with no original content and tossing in some affiliate links.
While it is certainly true that you need to have a web site up and running in order to
participate in an affiliate program, there is also the need to apply some effort to getting the word out about your site. Otherwise, the chances of people visiting your web site and clicking on one of the links are pretty slim.
Promoting yourself and your web site is a big part of ensuring the creation of affiliate income. This will mean doing everything you can to raise your search engine ranking positions on Google, Yahoo, and MSN.
Far too many people assume that somehow the Internet magically will capture every
lovely word on the web site and magically have it show up prominently when people do
a search. This is not the case at all. Taking the time to carefully research keywords,
craft content related to them, and the optimize your site for them is an absolute must.
And that’s not it. Marketing is bigger than just SEO. A strong and comprehensive
marketing effort includes getting out there and using every legitimate means of
promoting your site, from leaving business cards on restaurant tables to posting a
printed ad in the local supermarket to listing your site at online business and
informational sites.
Choosing to consider this sort of activity a waste of time is more or less deciding you want the program to fail.
Another mistake many affiliate partners make is not choosing products that have some
relevance to the content of your web site. For example, you run a wonderful web site
about the care and training of dogs. People will visit your site to see the images of your pets, read your comments on various aspects of dog training, and perhaps to post a message or two.
Since your visitors will already have an expressed interest in pets, why not make sure
the ads that reside on your site have to do with some aspect of pets or pet care? You
will earn much more money if this is the case, rather than having ads that have to do
with home decorating or some other subject.
Keeping your site content and the ads more or less relevant to one another will make it easier to generate revenue, and not fail as an affiliate marketer. Now, this may seem intuitive – but many make this mistake in subtle ways (i.e. they mismatch their
customers with products).
One final mistake that many affiliate marketers make is not sprucing up their web sites from time to time. Keeping the content fresh is one way of building and keeping a loyal reading audience.
If there is a reason to check back with your site every week, then chances are repeat
visitors will click on ads that appear to be new to them, or that they enjoyed looking at the last time they visited your site.
Keeping the same old look and the same old text with nothing new to entice people
back is a sure way to limit your chances at being a successful affiliate marketer.
In short, most of the more common mistakes all track back to an attitude that you do not have to do anything in order to generate revenue.
The fact is that you do have to proactively promote your site, keep the content fresh,
and make sure the ads have some connection to the subject matter of your site.
By taking the time and effort to do these three simple things, you will have much better chances at being a success with affiliate marketing.

Why Affiliate Marketing is a Lucrative Business
If you have been considering an affiliate marketing venture, there are some very good
reasons why you should go with this method of generating recurring revenue. Here are
some of the ways that affiliate marketing can be a lucrative means of creating income
that will be stable and allow you to grow exposure over time.
One of the first advantages of affiliate marketing for the new entrepreneur is that the
startup cost is very low. Most companies that offer affiliate marketing programs do not
require any type of monetary investment on the part of the affiliate.
Expenses are limited to what you have to pay to connect with the Internet, the software
you may need to load on your computer, and a web site where the ads associated with
the affiliate marketing program can be placed. With web site hosting such an
inexpensive service these days, setting up your own web site for the affiliate ads will be
a breeze.
In fact, you may not have to set up anything, if you already have a web site up and
running. As an example, you may already own a web site that is dedicated to your
interest in alternative fuel options.
Signing up for an affiliate program that will place ads on your site that click through to
companies that produce vegetable based fuel options would be a natural way to earn a
little money. Associating your interests with the subject matter of the ads that appear on
your web site is one of the easiest ways to build up a steady web presence that result in
a steady flow of income.
Another reason that affiliate marketing is such a moneymaker is the fact that there are
so many different types of ways to set up the program. You can go with the pay per click
option, which works out great when it comes to promoting special offers. Ads that lead
to product review sites often are a way to allow product users to go through your portal
and leave comments on the items they purchase.
Super Affiliate Marketing Secrets 12
Using ads to re-direct to opt-in email listings allows companies to build up qualified
email lists to use in their promotions, and results in income for you when people choose
to sign up. In fact, you could conceivably have a combination of these and other ads on
your site or sites, all earning money for you on a continual basis.
A third reason why affiliate marketing is so attractive is that you do not have to quite
your day job in order to work with the projects. Instead of going out on a limb with your
affiliate business, it is simply a matter of setting aside a few hours each week to devote
to signing up for programs, promoting the web sites where the ads will run, and allowing
your business to grow.
As the affiliate programs get on their feet and begin to generate respectable amounts of
income, you can expand the amount of time you devote to the project, eventually
phasing out working for someone else and creating your revenue streams full time. Few
income opportunities offer this type of flexibility.
Affiliate marketing is not a get rich quick scheme, although there is plenty of money to
be made with the right programs. You will have to devote some time and energy to the
programs.
But the nice thing is that once the web sites you manage and have ads placed on
become prominent on search engine lists, you will begin to see recurring income from
your efforts. In time, that could lead to a very attractive income that allows you both the
resources and the time to live the type of life you have always wanted for yourself and
your loved ones.
