The Simplest Trick for a More Profitable Affiliate Marketing Site
Affiliate marketing is a popular go-to for easy internet income.
It’s easy in the sense that you don’t have to design your own product to make money… but that’s where it should end. Just like any other valid source of internet income, affiliate marketing requires effort and work. You will get back what you put in.
Know who you can trust for advice!
There are thousands of white papers, template sales letters, and overpriced e-courses that can teach you how to be successful in affiliate marketing. For the most part… it’s not worth the investment. These programs are focused on selling “the All American Dream” to get filthy stinking rich without actually having to work and earn that wealth.
If you don’t mind scamming people, you might even make some money by offering those programs. For a while. (Those things never last.)
The trick that makes all the difference…
Don’t build a website around affiliate programs. It won’t work. It’s not sustainable.
Instead, build a valuable website. Earn an audience. Choose the affiliate programs that are most relevant to your audience. Do your research! Recommending a scam or faulty product will hurt any chances you have of building trust with your audience.
Build a brand. Work hard establishing a clearly defined personality that engages a loyal audience. Do you want substantial internet income that pays the bills (and then some), or are you going to settle for an occasional transaction?
When you decided to get into affiliate marketing, you wanted to work from home and make your own hours. You wanted easy money. Don’t worry… it’s still easy to plug a recommended product that you didn’t even have to create. But if you don’t put in the effort to make the rest of that post interesting enough on its’ own, then you’re wasting your time.
