Why consistency is more important as an Affiliate?

I was doing affiliate marketing since Apr 2006. I was not doing better for the first year. But i invested $6850 for buying different courses and tools. I know i was in "learning phase".

What i came to know in first one year.

a. Where to start ?
b. Where to End?
c. What essential tools to use to make a online system ?


Second six months ..I was making sale but not much profit. I know i was in "Testing phase".


What i came to know in second six months?

a. What components to test?
b. What tools i have to use for testing?



Third six months... I was making profit. But not 100%. I know i have to learn "advanced strategy" to make more profit.


a. What is high converting keywords?
b. What is high converting landing page?
c. What is Sales or Review Page?
d. How to optimize your campaigns?
e. How SEO helps me to earn more money?


Fourth six months.... "Advanced Testing Phase for more profit"

Again i came to testing phase to increase my ROI to 200% - 1000% with above testing. The number one secret i learned after testing is

A high converting keyword..with high converting landing page ..with properly optimized campaign is going to give you ROI more than 200%.

I started getting 1 sale from every 5 clicks. I am spending $2.50 to earn $25 ..That is nearly 1000% ROI. That is the day i realized the power of Online Business. I learned my habbit of consistency helped me to learn that.

Fifth six months...."Creating a successful system"

I started testing new products ...after new products with the same strategy i followed for the first product. May be small changes in landing page and different landing pages. Just 3 of my Affiliate products producing...most of my profits with the same strategy i was talking about.


Step1 ---> Do Market Analysis?

Step2----> Do Keyword Analysis?

Step3 ----> Creating High Converting Landing Page.

Step4 -----> Lauch your campaigns with 500 Keywords

Step5------>Track what keywords are making most sales

Step6-----> Add more and more negative keywords for the specific adgroup which is converting very well

Step7 ----> Go for next set of five hundred keywords to know which keywords are converting.

Step8-----> Create new landing Page for this set of 500 keywords.

Step8-----> Again follow step 5 and step 6.

Step9------> Find 10 - 100 high converting keywords and remove all non converting keywords.

Step 10 -----> Put this campaigns on autopilot.


From 6th six month.... "Monitor the above system consistently and Started testing new products"

I am just monitoring the system to know "How many sales are making every week and month"

Testing new products for more profit.

Please follow the above steps which i created to make money as an affiliate.

5 Ways of Free Traffic

Some days i struggled to generate traffic to my affiliate sites. I could not generate traffic and sales when i my credit card exceeded my budget. I am talking about fact...which happened to me.

That is the time i realized i should not concentrate only on PPC. If i have to generate lot of traffic i realized i have to make mutiple options for generating traffic.

All traffic i am generating should be targetted and the traffic i have got should have pre selled before they reach my Affiliate landing page.

I started testing all Traffic my "Gurus" has told... i am listing all options here to generate free traffic are (which worked for me)


1. SEO

2. Youtube Marketing

3. Articles

4. Social Networking

5. Joint Ventures


I know i have missed Blog..But my most of traffic to my websites comes from above 5.

I am going to talk all option below..

First i will start with SEO.

SEO:

When you have succesful campaign launched. You know what keywords are going to convert. After you know what keywords are converting . Go for Optimising the specific high converting keywords with SEO to place your ads in Top 5 positions. When you are placing your website in top 5 positions you are going to have 80% of traffic for your website with high CTR.

I had a plan before i optimize for the keywords..

5 Keywords ---> 1000 Hits/ Day (each keyword 200 hits per day)

Every 200 Hits with 2% CTR -- i got 4 Sales with $25 per sale. (Total Sale of $100)

(For total 1000 Hits ---> $100 * 5 ---> $500 Per Day)


It is looking easy to earn $500 per right. But there are lot of tasks involved bring your site in top 5. You have to do

1. Onpage Optimization
2. Offpage Optimization


What is Onpage Optimization and how to do same?

Each landing page to be optimized for 3 keywords

3. Adding Keyword in tag
4. Adding secondary Keyword in tag

7. Place your main Keyword in Last paragraph
8. Making main Keyword bold and italic atleast once.
9. Main keyword to be present atleast once for every 100 words.
10. Main keyword is present as link atleast once.

Best way of free traffic is you tube marketing. It is very difficult to ranked in google than in Youtube.

When you are creating video in youtube. Please do some analysis within youtube what people are
typing within youtube keyword box to add tags and do not forgot to keep your keyword on title.

Analyse the most watched videos and in your niche and keep the same tags in your tag box. Create high quality videos with some outsourcers to get long term income for your website.

Keep your website address at bottom of Video throughout the video ..to make the viewers to visit your site and take actions. Last but not least...ask them to visit the site for any specific reason (Free eBook or Bonus Offers) which will increase number of visitors. I have tested this for my website.
