10 Practical Affiliate Marketing Tips for Beginners to Promote Affiliate Products

If you have been looking for ways to make money online for a while, I am sure affiliate marketing is not new to you.  It is probably the best way to make money online.  You first pick a niche market and then select a profitable affiliate product to promote.  However, I have seen too many beginners get stuck right here.  They have a good product to promote but they just don’t know what to do next.  If you are one of them, please read on.

10 simple practical affiliate marketing tips to help you get started:

1. If you do not have a website, build a WordPress website to promote your affiliate product. The first thing you can do is to write a blog post about your affiliate product and insert your affiliate link into your article.
2. Place the affiliate banner on your website.
3. Promote your affiliate product to your mailing list if you have one no matter how small it is.
4. Insert your affiliate link to your email signature and forum signature.
5. Spread the words on popular social networks such as Facebook, Twitter.  Remember to use attention grabbing headlines from your vendor’s sales letter. You can use su.pr or tinyurl.com to shorten your affiliate link and track clicks.  At the same time, you need to actively build your network of targeted audience who are interested in your affiliate product.
6. Write an honest product review to promote your affiliate product.  You can write about product features, pros and cons. If you have used the product yourself, your personal experience would be a plus.
7. Create landing pages for your affiliate product to target different audiences and drive traffic to your landing page.  Some vendors equip you with different versions of landing pages.  It is better to create your own landing page to differentiate yourself from the rest of the crowd.  You can get a free tool to create landing page here.  (Hint: Just opt-in with your email address, you will see the free offer at the 2nd video.)
8. Write a special report with your affiliate links and give the report away for free.
9. Use solo ads and PPC ads to promote your affiliate product.  Safe-swaps.com is a place to look for solo ad provider in your niche.  Make sure your ad fits into the ad provider’s niche.
10. Spend time to learn what you don’t know.  You can Google your questions or ask experienced affiliate marketers for help.
