Larger Than Life

Today on the second edition of success through affiliate marketing series we would focus on the keywords that you should focus on for your website.
There are couple of things that we are prejudiced for while selecting the optimum keywords for the website we set up for affiliate marketing. A few common ones are:

1. Traffic
2. Competition
3. Queries
4. Money (we think of it all the time)

You can select your keywords by using the tools (softwares) that are available (you might have to buy them as well) freely. But you have to understand the fact that the results that these tools give you are completely based on the algorithm that they have been set for. They might tell you what keywords attract most attention and how any people are in your competition and what amount of traffic can you expect but what they fail to tell you is the keywords that attract the traffic that is responsible for the sale of the product. I am definitely not arguing about the usefulness of these tools and they might very well bring you good adsense revenue but most of these fail in helping your affiliate marketing business.

See all that matters in affiliate marketing industry is the difference between the traffic keywords and the sales generating keywords. As an example if we see dirt bike site we would find that you can gain unlimited traffic from this booming field but it would be hard for you to sell anything if you are an affiliate of any such product. The reason behind this is that though these sites attract loads of traffic still most of traffic is constituted by the minors or young people who cannot spend money on these products.
One of the solutions that you could use to find the seller keywords is do a bit of spying. Just research for the things that are working for other people and modify them to work to your benefit.

Hope this small lesson would help you in your quest to become a successful affiliate marketer. Next time we would be discussing about the possible niches that you could go with.

We would discuss the basics of affiliate marketing today. Affiliate marketing (from a affiliate’s point of view) is promoting some advertisers products and generating leads for the sales of their products. For this lead generation advertisers pay the affiliates money as commission (up to 100% of sale). Affiliate is one of the fastest and most consistent ways of making good amount of money online.

Ever thought about making 100 dollars for a lead, yes I am talking about 100 dollars per lead and this is one of the lowest affiliate commissions. Most affiliate commissions are defined as a percentage of prices of the sold product. I remember, once I helped Blogsvertise get an advertiser who used their service and spent $1500and I got affiliate payment of $ 300 . It still stands out as my highest affiliate payment till date. If I reflect a bit more on my affiliate history, I remember helping some of my friends with their hosting accounts and sharing the affiliate commission with them. If I calculate all my affiliate income till today, it would be somewhere around $ 700 (excluding my friend’s share), and to be honest with you guys I haven’t worked at it at all.

There are people who are working for about 6 hours a day and making about fifty thousand dollars a month, just from affiliate payments. You can achieve the same with a bit of hard work and be rest assured I am going to help you out with the initial steps. So keep checking the site out because I would be publishing your route to success in a series of posts starting from tomorrow.
