How important do you think it is to advertise your affiliate programs? Most would most likely say its quite important.
I would say it is the difference between success and failure for the affiliate. The more instant you spend selling
your affiliate programs the more successful you will be.
The Super Affiliates spend 75% of their measure
branding their affiliate programs. This means they only spend 25% of their instant working on their affiliate programs.
Contrast this to most affiliates who spend about 10% to 20% of their instant branding their affiliate programs.
You can have heard the statistic that between 80% and 90% of all affiliates contruct
little or no money each month from
affiliate programs. A big reason for this is LACK OF MARKETING.
Just because its an affiliate code
does not mean you do not have to spend time branding it.
Treat each affiliate script you belong to as if it we are
your own product. This will force you to concentrate more of your efforts on branding. By thinking like the owner rather than the affiliate you will automatically focus on what is important to make the sale.
In fact, you could say you have to spend MORE TIME selling
your affiliate programs than if you were the owner of the product because not only are you trying to get everybody to buy a
merchandise
, you are also competing with other affiliates.
Spend more time advertising than your fellow affiliates and you will earn more funds
. If they are not spending time branding and you are, who do you think is going to overcome
?
When I talk about branding affiliate programs it does not mean you have to go out and spend a whole lot of money.
There are still countless efficient low cost and costless advertising methods that are working very well.
Are you using the following free selling
methods?
1. Writing your own articles.
2. Using ezine advertisement
swaps.
3. Using sig files in your emails.
To succeed with affiliate programs requires a disciplined
and consistent approach to branding. Set aside a couple of hours each day for promoting your affiliate programs and I guarantee your monthly affiliate check will increase.
You may even become a Super Affiliate one day!
