The Dos and Don’ts of Affiliate Marketing

Dos

1. Focus on Your Niche

As tempting as the thought sounds, don’t promote too many products. Many newbies consider managing multiple niches at a time. This may be a good way to earn money, but it can turn out to be a fatal mistake for a new affiliate. Managing several niches requires abundant research, which can be quite overwhelming for a beginner. Before you know it, you’re already worn out!

Promote products that are relevant to your audience. If you’re promoting automotive parts while being a food blogger, no one will take your word for it.

2. Create Captivating Content

Hundreds of affiliates promote products every day. So why should readers consider your content? Why should they spend their next five minutes on your blog?

If you’re not thinking out of the box, you’re already risking your chances. Create content that’s engaging and entices readers to continue reading. Focus on your intros. They’re your make or break moment. Promoting your product right at the start is also the worst mistake you can possibly make as a blogger. Be an empathetic writer. Instead of selling your product, focus on how your product is the ultimate solution to your readers’ problems.

No reason to limit your options with written content only. Youtubers make thousands of dollars monthly with faceless videos. You can too! Start creating videos for popular queries and make sure to add your affiliate links.

Don’ts

1. Provide Superficial Information

“Our cell phones provide the best service”

That’s what every company says; what do you have that they don’t?

Readers don’t visit your blogs to read about things they already know. If your blog provides superficial information about your product, readers won’t waste their time. They’re looking for something that sets you apart.

Your review shouldn’t be a rehashed version of what your supplier told you. Dive into your product details and collect adequate information before writing. Conduct extensive research about your product features and the marketing edge they have over your competitors.

2. Spam

You won’t even realize when you start posting spam on your website. Content that’s repetitive or doesn’t align with your audience gets labeled as spam. It might drive high traffic to your website, but it won’t mean anything if none of them end up purchasing your product.
