How To Be Successful With Online Affiliate Marketing
- Do some research. See if your competition is using affiliate marketing. Decide if this is the right type of marketing for you?
- Understand that affiliate marketing is not a channel of marketing. A channel is social media marketing, paid search marketing or email marketing. Affiliates use all of these channels and monetize them.
- If there isn’t a channel that your brand is strong in, you might be able to outsource that particular channel to affiliates and gain exposure via the affiliates.
- Custom content and branded content is very important to affiliate programs.
- Bloggers and content marketers are the two most sought after types of affiliates for affiliate marketing programs.
- The power of storytelling is about creating memorable content.
- Don’t put your affiliate marketing program on auto pilot. This can do either “cannibalize” the brand or do severe damage to the company.
- Use visual graphics to market your program. It’s processed 30 times faster than text.
