Do you want to earn money online with affiliate marketing the right way? It’s not just finding a good product and pasting the affiliate link everywhere. In the book we talk about some powerful techniques you could use to make money online with Amazon Affiliate.
In this Cheat Sheet we’ll give you some tips for you to obtain the best results.
Create Value Content
One of the most important pillars for a website is to produce quality content that provides great value and interest to visitors and especially to help them solve a problem. If your content is good and helps people, this can help you keep users interested and get them back to your website.
This quality content will help your website to rank higher in search engines and will also help you convince people to buy.
Creating original content using your own style will help you to differentiate yourself from the competition.
You can also share that content through social networks to reach more people.
Careful Selection of Products
It is important to take enough time to choose the products you are going to promote. Investigate which products your visitors need or are interested in within your niche. You can test to discover which products that most visitors want and which convert more. You can change products that don’t give you good results and try others.
Using Email Marketing
The best way to get good sales results is to build a relationship of trust with readers, and the most effective way to do this is through Email Marketing.
With Email Marketing you can achieve incredible results, its success lies in the fact that when you use it you can get a person to buy your products more than once.
Landing Page
You can create a high converting landing Page to collect data from your visitors. This landing page should be super-focused, without a navigation bar, with a catchy title, an explanatory subtitle and a super clear call to action that clearly reflects your goal.
Reward
In the landing page you can offer a free reward (like a free Ebook or a free video) with valuable content in exchange for the visitor’s data (mainly name and email) through a subscription form to create a subscribers list.
Subscribers List
The data entered by visitors in exchange for the free reward through the landing page will be stored in a subscribers list handled from email marketing software. This list is really important because all the people there are potential buyers, so it is also important to make it grow.
Email Marketing Software
Using software such as AWeber, GetResponse and Mailchimp you can manage the list of subscribers and send them automated and periodic emails with valuable content and offers.
With these platforms you can divide the lists into smaller lists according to the interests of the subscribers and that way you can send them more targeted offers that can lead to a purchase.
Creating this kind of relationship, the readers will become familiar with you and feel confident to buy what you offer them through your affiliate link.
Purchase-Oriented Content
When people go shopping online, they do more specific searches because they are looking to buy something, not only information about the product, that’s why you should use purchase-oriented keywords. For example, if you sell costumes you can use the phrase “cheap costumes” instead of “costumes” and thus attract quality traffic i.e. people looking to buy and not just people who are looking for general information on costumes.
International Commissions
Amazon allows you to receive commissions only if the buying public is located in the country where you created the affiliate account, for this reason, if you only have an Amazon US account you are losing sales commissions from people in other countries such as the United Kingdom and Canada.
But today there is software that help us solve this problem, such as EasyAzon 4 and Genius Link. These platforms include automatic link location, which means that your affiliate link changes depending on the country where the visitor is located.
In this way, if you have a visitor from Spain make a purchase, you earn that commission.
To achieve this, you must create an account for the Amazon Affiliate program in each country, or at least the countries where the most traffic is provided.
The Amazon Affiliate Program exists in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, Spain, Mexico, Brazil, India, Japan, China, France and Italy.
But the software we mentioned above helps us redirect traffic from other countries to one of the countries where the Amazon Affiliate Program exists.
Make sure you don’t lose any commission.
Best Seller Lists
It is a good idea to include Amazon Best Seller Lists in your website posts. These lists focus on the best-selling products within the category of products you are promoting, so people may be interested in more than one product to buy and in this way you can increase your profits.
Using Google Analytics
Google Analytics is a powerful tool that will help you track visits to your website and the behavior of your visitors.
It allows you to see where your visitors are coming from, what are the most visited pages, how long users remain on each page, what are the hours of the heaviest traffic, used devices, used traffic channels, user retention, age and gender of the users and much more detailed information that will help you analyze your website to know what is working and what is not, to help you make decisions on what should be changed to improve.
If you follow these tips the right way you will find that you can boost your sales. You just have to be constant and patient. Dedication is an important part of growing any project, and if you do it right you will get the best results.
Remember to create a plan that includes your goals and the steps to follow to reach them. After doing all the steps in your plan, analyze the results obtained to decide what to change for better results.
