Newbie Affiliate tip!



Affiliate marketing is one of the best ways to start making
money online from your own home-based business.

As an affiliate, you skip the research and development
stages of the product creation, and the copy writing.
Not only for the sales pages, but for all subsequent ads.

By not having to invest in this early stage of product
development, you save money, and time as well.
This leaves you, as an affiliate, the task of marketing
your chosen product or service.

Sounds easy, right?

Well, this is where it gets a little tricky.

There are lots of people entering the
Internet arena every day, looking to make a quick dollar.
Since this is what affiliate marketing promises,
there are lots of competition for the same dollar.

The strategy to use for your affiliate marketing success,
no matter which market or niche
you choose, is to separate yourself from all the other
affiliates, who are using the same marketing materials as
you are using.

Caution here- make sure to check the affiliate rules for
each program you are affiliated with, to verify that the
tactics listed here are
permitted.

As an affiliate, the first thing you should do, is to get
your own web site and
domain name. Your domain name should be closely associated,
with the niche of your choice.
If you are targeting the home stereo niche, you can choose
a name like: homestereoguide.com

Next, find a good template that you can use
for your site. It is important that the look and feel
of your site, stays consistent through out the site, if you
have more than one page.

Here is where you set yourself apart from the
other affiliates. You can write a special report or review,
of the product or service, you are going to promote.
Getting this document out to as many prospects as possible,
should be the focus of your affiliate marketing.

Getting this document out to as many prospects as possible,
should be the focus of your affiliate marketing.

This document should be given away free, as an enticement
for the prospects name and email address. The names and addresses
should be left in your autoresponder.

Set up several messages, about 7 to 10, to
go out at 2 to 3 day intervals. Each message should
explain the benefits your prospect will get from the
product, along with your affiliate link.

Your autoresponder form should be displayed on all of
the pages on your site, along with the sales pitch, telling
your visitors why they should download your free report.

You can easilyset up this in a sidebar, on the template of your choice.
Usually set up on the left hand side.

By building your list of potential buyers, you can
communicate with them as often as you wish to. You can send them alerts
when a new product comes out, or when there are upgrades available to
existing products, or when sales on their favorite products are
being offered.

There are many ways for you to build your list. But by
offering a special report, you brand yourself as an expert in your
field. You thus set yourself apart from all the other affiliates.
