What type of website do you need to sell affiliate products

Jun 09, 2008 in Affiliate Marketing

You may have found the best affiliate product, paying big commissions but what is the next step. How do you start selling your affiliate products and making cash from the internet. Thats easy, you need your own website.

You will have seen thousands of different webpages that all do different things, some sell to you, some inform you, some entertain you. No doubt you will have seen lots you like and probably many you do not like. But what type website do you need to sell affiliate products. You will perhaps be relieved to know that there are only two main designs that you can use to sell your new affiliate products and services. These are blogs and sales websites.

Blogs

The best way to think of a blog is a website that is updated frequently, every hour, every day, or at worse once a week. If you are thinking of selling multiple affiliate products in the same niche then a blog is you bet choice. The key thing is that all the products and content relate to the same niche, you can sell multiple products and have lots of content about health and fitness but do not combine these with an internet marketing product. You need to look like the expert in your field.

Blogs are quickly becoming more and more popular as they encourage visitors to interact with your website, a visitor can leave their comments about your content and products. Their feedback can be a really important part of selling affiliate products, if a visitor sees comments from other visitors saying how good a product is it will help convince them that this product is for them.

Your blog needs to updated regularly you need to have lots of content, this content can be articles like this one, reviews about your products, product comparisons, case studies, testimonials, videos the list goes on and on. One of the best methods is to produce content based on your experiences, how did you buy the product, how was it to use, what did it do for you. If you have any negative comments include these maybe some of the videos are too long or the webpage is slow to load. Visitors will take you more seriously if they think your telling the truth, they know that every product is not perfect.

Sales Webpage

If you have your own product to sell or are going to focus on one single product you need a website dedicated just to this. This approach will not work for just any product, if you trying to sell a $15 ebook you are probably better of selling that through a blog, If the product costs upward of $50 then you maybe better investing your time and crating a dedicated sales webpage.

You will have no doubt already seen these sales style sites, they typically have a long sales letter on the homepage, with big headlines, lots of product information, testimonials from existing users and finally the special offer price. Too many people dismiss this style of webpage before they actually try it. The truth of the matter is that these long sales pages work.

So what does your long sales letter have to contain. These are the main points you need to cover.

1. A good headline to draw people it.
2. A great story about the product.
3. A list of benefits of the product.
4. Testimonials from existing customers.
5. What the product costs.
6. Free Bonuses.
7. How you can get the product.

Once you have got your website you are one step closer to making money from the internet.

I wish you the best of success.

Affiliate Marketing, the 3 essential resources you need

Jun 09, 2008 in Affiliate Marketing

You have found a great affiliate product you want to sell, you have identified the niche to sell into. So, what do you need to start making money from affiliate marketing. What resources are so important you cannot do without them.

1. A Website

The first thing you need is a website, there are ways you can sell some affiliate products without one but if you want to make a regular income you need a good website. The style of website you need will depend on the type of product or products you are selling. The two main types of website you can use to sell affiliate products, blogs and sales style website.

Blogs are a ideal choice if you are going to sell multiple products into the same niche. You can crate regular posts and constantly add new content. You can fill your blog with articles, reviews, testimonials and your experience with the product in question. If you are going to sell multiple products through your blog make sure they all fit into the same niche. You cannot sell affiliate marketing products and dieting courses on the same blog.

If you want to sell just one product you are better with a site dedicated to just that one product, we have all seen those long webpages or sales letters that contain big headlines, features, benefits and testimonials. The reason these sales pages exist is because they work, they convert visitors into customers. A good sales page must cover what you product does, how it can help the visitor, how easy it is to use and testimonials from existing customers.

2. Tracking Software

When you start getting visitors through into your site you need to know where they came from. Using tracking software you can determine how you visitors came to your website. This is really important as it will let you now which of your traffic sources and marketing methods are giving you the best responses. Using this data you can then spend more time working on getting visitors from the most successful places.

Other features of tracking software allow you to track the geographical location of the visitor, which pages they viewed on your site, how long they spent there etc. You can even see some really cool stats such as the visitors operating system, web browser, screen resolution, speed of connection etc etc. This is info can be really useful if you are running location based campaigns. The more technical is used a lot by web designers so they can design websites that can be viewed by the maximum amount of visitors.

3. Auto Responder

A auto responder is a web based program that lets you create a mailing list. A list is one of the most important things you can do to start making big cash online. A list makes you money in two different ways.

(1.) When a somebody buys your affiliate product they are added to your list, this means you can send them emails on new products that would be relevant to them. A customer who has already bought one of your products will trust you and understand that you have their interests at heart.

(2.) When a new visitor comes to your site you need to capture their name and email address so that you can email them with product recommendations, newsletters etc. However the days of just putting a box on your website asking for details have long gone. You have to give something away to entice the visitor to join your list, you can give away a free ebook, report, mp3 audio, video etc. Essentially you have to give them something for nothing. The more you can give them the more likely the chances of buying your products.

I wish you the best of success.
