Affiliate Marketing Secret - Build Your Own Mailing List Even If You’re An Affiliate
Keywords: list building, list building strategies, affiliate marketing strategy, affiliate marketing strategies
Today, I want to share with you one of the biggest mistakes affiliates make. I want to share this with you so you wont make the same mistake:
The one major mistake many affiliates make is NOT setting up a list!
Affiliates will often send traffic that they generated to affiliate links, rather than a list. When they do this, they are unknowingly making a bet that visitor will buy on first contact. Unfortunately, this is generally not the case.
Visitors often need to be warmed up to a product through the course of multiple visits and additional information before they are willing to purchase from a person or a business. This is where building a list comes into play.
By building a list, affiliates can fix this problem. Additionally, they can retain traffic, warm it up, and then direct it to different purchases in the future. This means that it isn’t a one-shot deal: instead, they can attempt to sell the same person multiple products over the course of time.
Now, in order to do this successfully, the affiliate in question must purchase the necessary tools. I personally suggest using a third party for the actual auto responder service.
A third party autoresponder is relatively inexpensive ($20-$40/mo.) and comes with a formidable range of services, including spam checkers and macros. Best of all, it is white listed by many email clients and many boast a delivery rate of 99%.
This type of service will not only manage your list, but it will also help you build it. It includes free tools that allow you to create web forms, pop-ups, and hover-ins all of which can be used to increase your opt-in rate.
Now, in addition to purchasing the auto responder service, you will need to setup your own site if you do not already own one. If you already own a related site, you can simply add your opt in form to a page on your existing site. If not, I suggest purchasing cheap domain and hosting and using this to host your list forms. There are plenty of inexpensive yet high quality hosting companies out online these days so shop around.
Once you have your site and your auto responder setup, there are only two steps left: the first is building a course of some sort that is related to the affiliate products you will sell; and the second is creating an opt-in form that converts.
The first part is relatively easy. Start by determining your topic and then outline it over the course of five to seven days. Remember that everything should be written as if you are talking to a person, rather than as if you were writing a formal article.
If you don’t feel comfortable writing these articles yourself, you can always hire a ghostwriter at at a website where freelancers bid for your work like Elance or Guru dot com. You can hire someone for $5-15 per issue, depending on the size.
Once you have created your auto responder series, you will want to feed it into your auto responder, setup advertisements in the text for the affiliate product you are planning to sell, and then create an opt-in form for your list.
Once you have setup your opt-in form, the only remaining step is to drive various traffic sources to your opt-in list, collect their email addresses and then wait for the commissions to roll in!
