Affiliate Marketing Mistakes That You Need To Look Out For

Before you start your affiliate marketing business, you have to set up a plan so that you don't bump into the mistakes that can kill your business. If you haven't made your plan, it is still not too late. Take a look at the mistakes below so that you can build a successful affiliate marketing business.

1. Assumption

Never assume that all your visitors have the latest program to see your site. I for one, belong to those people who hardly update my internet software. Speaking of that, can you believe that I am still using internet explorer 6.0?

That showed you that you are going to miss my business if your website is dedicated only to internet explorer 7.0 users. Take into consideration that there are different kind of internet users out there and you ought to have one or not two systems that can suit most of the users.

2. Marketing offline

For you to know, affiliate marketing is not something that is no longer just limited to online marketing anymore nowadays.

Many successful affiliate marketers are marketing their product offline as well. They told their family and friends about their business and they even advertise on newspaper about the products they are affiliate to.

Remember, your customers buy through your affiliate link and there is no reason why you should limit the traffic seeing your product.

3. Not building list

Do I need to say more about this? I think I have told you countless of times that if you want to make money with affiliate marketing, you will want to start building your own list, share valuable information with your list members, build relationship with them, ask their need and offer solution to their need.

It is as easy as that.

4. Not marketing timely

Since we are talking about list building, you might want to take a look at this mistake as well. It was said that people only buy after they have seen your products for at least 7 times. Let me ask you then,

"Can you market to the same person 7 times if you don't have his or her contact?"

It will be a difficult task to make money with affiliate marketing when you can't market to the same crowd consistently and timely.

5. Wait

Many affiliate marketers used cheap hosting packages to host their websites. This can greatly affect the loading time of your website.

Never make your visitors wait. Picture yourself in your visitors' shoes. Do you think you will have the patience to wait for the website to load? I probably not. If your website is like that, you will lose many opportunities to sell your products.

6. Right traffic

You should have known by now that traffic is very important to build your affiliate marketing business. However, what you need is not simply any traffic. You need quality traffic that is ready to buy your products.

In case you still haven't notice it, there are people who are selling fake traffic for profit. If you buy into that traffic, you are building your marketing cost instead of profiting from the business. Even though the traffic you bought was legit, you are still not making money if the traffic never convert.

You need to start looking into how much your traffic is converting into sales. That's the bottom line.

If need be, you might want to consider generating traffic from PPC, SEO, article marketing, blogging and etc.
