Tips For Setting Yourself Apart From the Affiliate Marketing Crowd
It's no secret there is money in affiliate marketing, in fact
there is great money in affiliate marketing if you align
yourself with a good company with good products.
The reason there are some failures and jaded feelings about
affiliate marketing is because people don't think about what the
very phrase means. There are two words to consider. Affiliate is
a definition that comes to most people quite easily as it means
"A person, organization, or establishment associated with
another". Easy enough. The second part of that phrase is the one
that will make or break your efforts to be a success in
affiliate marketing.
Marketing. People think it means knocking on doors, making
hundreds of phone calls, sending out thousands of e-mails, just
to market your product or service that you're selling through an
affiliate network. True, you are an affiliate of a company and
you are selling the same thing as dozens of other people, how to
you set yourself apart from the crowd?
Establish a relationship with your prospects. When you contact
someone about the product or service that you're representing
through your affiliate marketing program, your initial contact
is not about making a sale or a fulfillment order, it's about
establishing a relationship with your potential client. Setting
yourself up to establish a relationship with your prospects
takes a little preparation but it's not hard to do.
If you're marketing your affiliate program through cold calls,
first of all, make sure you're targeting the right market. You
can't build a relationship to your prospects marketing services
if the person you're contacting has no base interest in your
affiliate network service or product. Many affiliate marketers
get discouraged because they feel every proverbial door is
slammed in their faces. It's not that they aren't good sales
people or they have chosen the wrong affiliate network to
market, they have simply chosen the wrong venue to sell those
affiliate marketing services to.
When you're marketing your affiliate program from your own
website. First all, make sure there are no frames. You might as
well be wearing Harry Potter's Cloak of Invisibility if you're
going to frame a webpage. Your site won't show up in return
results because it won't be indexed by the major search engines.
Next, throw out useless graphics, do you really need that
dancing sack of money on your website? Screaming sales fluff
words "It's the BEST" or empty promises to prospects mean
nothing and quite frankly, turn most people off from anything of
substance you really had to say about your affiliate marketing
program. Instead, think about what you would want to know if you
were joining an affiliate marketing program. Write your website
as if you were speaking to one person only, the person that is
reading your website at that moment.
You can build a relationship
from the get-go through your
website and e-mails by addressing common problems most people
have. No one is looking to join an affiliate program because
they have too much money. People want to join a legitimate
affiliate marketing program because they need money for various
reasons. Use that as a beginning for making a starting point in
a business relationship.
On your website, tell a little about how the affiliate marketing
program took you from a paycheck to paycheck existence and you
can now afford certain luxuries that were your motivating
factor. You wanted to take a vacation, help put your kids
through college, buy a new car, or pay off your credit card
bills. Think about the issues that originally made you want to
get into affiliate marketing, there are a good majority of
people that feel the same way and they all have the potential to
be part of your affiliate marketing network.
Invite a dialogue with people. You can't have a relationship
with your prospects without open communication. Tell people they
can contact you and ask you questions and when they do, be
friendly but remain businessnesslike. It's a fine line and
you'll find it quickly. One successful affiliate marketer would
answer his various prospects questions sent via e-mail and then
always throw in something about the weather he was experiencing.
Could be the snow on the ground, the drenching rains that would
drown a duck or just the heat that made him wish for an ice
cream truck from his youth. Just that one sentence made him more
real to his potential clients. They would write back wanting
more information and then tell him about their weather. It seems
small and insignificant, but it's really huge. He was giving
people a real person to deal with. Not an affiliate marketing
program, not a faceless website, not the black and white text of
an e-mail, but an honest to goodness friendly person they wanted
to join up with all because he talked about the weather.
When you're using relationship based marketing for your
affiliate program, you're not trying to create a best friend -
you are creating an honest, trusting business relationship and
there's nothing stronger. Studies have shown people will stick
with an affiliate marketing program longer if they have a
comfort level with the people they are dealing with.
Relationship based marketing does exactly that.
Now that you know how to create a loyalty to your affiliate
marketing program, use these tips to make yourself stand out
from the other affiliates and boost your network base and your
affiliate sales!
