Crackdown on Brand Names
Posted by: | CommentsAffiliate marketing of physical products has quite a few challenges. I will not list them all here, but rather discuss one point that can make devastating effect on your affiliate marketing campaign. Promoting brand names has advantage of instant recognition and trust of the brand. Would you buy Sony or CornerWiz product?
However, the ugly side of brand promotion is restrictions on the use for brand names. I used to have a site with domain name tiffanybags[keyword] dot com, but had to shut it down after polite request from the brand. Make no mistake – they do watch what is going on with their names.
Reverse Niche Selection Method
Posted by: | CommentsWe all heard about choosing niches, doing deep research on the niche, picking up right keywords and so on. While this is a valuable strategy and I used it for my niche sites, here is an idea that might light up a bulb for many affiliates. The basic behind this idea is “reverse engineering” of successful niche sites.
What it means really is to know how to evaluate niches by exactly how much money people are already making, and then entering the niche with zero guesswork and hardly any “trial and error”.
Affiliate Marketing For Newbies
Posted by: | CommentsAffiliate marketing is by far the easiest way to start online business. You don’t need to create your own product, deal with customer support, returns, payments and other tasks. Affiliate simply is a middle man between product vendor and customer, and a sole role for affiliate is to market a product. For the effort, affiliate will receive a cut from the sale (commissions) frequently as high as 75%.
With a huge supply of products available to affiliates, you can start affiliate business in pretty much ANY market – from selling ringtones, how-to ebooks to cruise vacation packages. However, my recommendation is start with products that will pay you $20 and up in commissions. Many affiliates begin with selling ebooks from Clickbank and Paydotcom. Both networks provide big selection of ebooks and courses in a variety of markets.
