Looking at the current global financial crisis, you will be hearing more news about retrenchment or more drops in the world index market. Since you are reading this, I bet you are looking for some ways to boost your financial security. The tips I have prepared for you are not just to boost your affiliate marketing business, you can also look at it as a new way to make money for yourself.
So, let's get started
1. Do you remember how you get here? Is it through article, PPC ad or blog links? Anyway, you are my traffic and I thank you for that. :-)
Whether you are building an online or offline business, you will need traffic or people to visit you. It is only then you can convince these people that what you are offering is what they need. A word of advice is when you are starting to make money with affiliate marketing, choose an affordable way to build traffic to your website or blog.
2. Some said that banner ads are dead but personally I think it can still give a huge impact to your visitors and that depends how you use it. Take a look at the banner ad at the side. That is a normal text banner ad and imagines you add some related images to it. Wouldn't that grab more of your attention?
The reason I think banner ads don't work is because people are overexpose to them. There are website or blog owners who load lots of banners on their sites. Too many banners can make your site look messy and those flashing ads can be annoying to your readers. Can you think about any reason to return to that kind of sites? That goes the same to your visitors.
So, limit your banner ads even though you are affiliate to 100 products or you can consider rotating those ads once in a while.
3. For a lot of rich affiliate marketers, there is no better way to build your affiliate marketing business than publishing your own ezine. Who will be more willing and happy to buy your products than someone who has already been following your newsletter?
You don't always need a website to grow your opt-in list. Look at the top right and corner. You can also put your opt-in box in a blog like this. You just need to provide something useful to your visitors so that they will subscribe to your ezine.
4. Have you ever look into the possibility of growing your affiliate marketing business with forums? This is one of the overlook marketing tools probably because it is kind of time consuming responding to other members issues. You need to really look into the issues of others so that you can provide constructive solutions to them.
However, that is just a small setback to forum posting. Imagine that your solution do help the member. Don't you think that he or she will become your loyal supporter? They will certainly go to your website and if you have an opt-in box, they are most likely going to sign up for your newsletter. And when you build your relationship with them, they are going to invest in you.
5. With so many ways to boost your affiliate marketing business today, my favorite way is still article marketing because it is so fun to write. :-)
Just to let you know, article marketing is flexible as it can be free or you can pay for it. If you started this business with limited budget, writing your articles and submitting them to article directories can be a good way to build your affiliate marketing business.
You may ask what you can write about. What I recommend is that you start with the 'how to' topic. Let's say your business is selling laptop, start your article with how to choose a laptop or something like that and broadcast it out.
Remember to start writing your own article after this. :-)
Create your success,
