Can I Make Money With Affiliate Marketing

By Anson Hall

There are a lot of successful affiliate marketers out there. However, there are also some marketers who do not really make money. If you have just started working in this field of business, you may find that there are so many different methodologies in promoting the affiliate products. And you may not even be able to make even one sale after working for a few months.

At this point you may just want to give up. However, have you tested different ways to promote the products? Before you really give up, you should try to read the following tips first. You will need to tune your affiliate site before you say that affiliate marketing does not work for you.

Do you use banners in your affiliate websites? If you use them, you would better take them away and try to use things such as plain texts to substitute the banners. Banners do not work. Will you click the banners when you are visiting other websites? If you will not do so, why the visitors to your sites will do it!

Another thing you need to bear in mind is that the products you are promoting should be related to the main theme of your affiliate site. You should promote wedding products in wedding sites. It will not work if you promote them in a health site. If the theme of your site does not match the products you are promoting, you should try to start a site with a theme which matches the products.

You should always remember that you are trying to warm up the visitors and encourage them to follow the affiliate links and purchase. However, you are not selling the products in your site. Selling and pre selling are two totally different concepts. You will only pre sell your visitors in your sites.

The affiliate program will certainly give you a lot of resources in order to promote the products. However, you should try to retouch and rearrange the resources before you use them. This is because a lot of other marketers will also be using them. And the contents of your affiliate site will just the same as the others if you do not retouch and rearrange the resources yourself.

There are marketers who will only try to promote one product in a site. This is not really a good way to promote. If it is possible, you will try to promote similar products in the same site. You will also reviews the products. This will certainly help you to make more sales.

You need to learn a lot of different techniques before you can make money with affiliate marketing. A piece of good news is that you can learn them while your are working. And you should be able to increase your income gradually with affiliate marketing.
