If
you haven't used them all, maybe that's why your checks are looking so poor.
Here's why these eight tools are absolutely essential for your success.
Let's
start of with the #1 Affiliate Marketing Tool for Success...
Your
Own Website. Imagine
a website as a business that is situated on the most valuable piece of real
estate on earth (the internet) and there are literally millions of hungry
buyers.
Affiliate
marketing can truelly make you loads of money if done right and the one thing
that is absolutely crucial is having your own website. It's so obvious! Combined with the other 9 affiliate tools, you
can achieve greatness with your own website/s.
Second
among the Affiliate Marketing tools for success...
"Affiliate
Marketing" Webdesign Software. Now I am
not talking about a stupid web building software. You need a webdesign software
that was designed with money making in mind. You need more than just a website
builder. You need something that can transform your ideas into cash. You need a
website builder that'll will never let you down as well as always make you
smile. You need a website builder that will cut building a website in more than
4 times the time. You need a website builder that literally incorporates SEO
into your website building project.
Third
among the Affiliate Marketing Tools for success...
Proper
Keyword Research Tool. This
is an incredibly important tool as it basically makes or breaks you. Why do you
need a keyword research tool? To find out what people are typing in at the
search engines offcoarse! You also need to optimize you different webpages for
YOUR targeted keywords so that when people type in those keywords, they'll find
your appropriate pages!
Without
the proper keyword tool...you are doomed.
You
have 3 options for a keyword tool:
*The
free version (doesn't provide much detail) called Overture which you can find
at http://inventory.overture.com
*The
paid version - top of the line
*The
almost free version - I recommend this tool. It's a server based script and
it's called Keyword Explorer. You just upload one file to your webhost with a
simple ftp software and do your keyword research. This tool is designed to
uncover profitable markets. I'm not kidding...I use this tool everyday and it
constantly uncovers untapped gold mines.
Fourth
among the Affiliate Marketing Tools for success...
Affiliate
Link Cloaking Tool. Ummm...you
are probably thinking that this isn't an essential tool right? WRONG!!
It's
crucial! People today are so skeptic when it comes to clicking on links. They
actually look at the destination url. You need a url shrinker or a cloaking
script.
Fifth
among the Affiliate Marketing Tools for success...
Seo
& Link Building Software. Geeze,
this is another essential tool. If you are not familiar with SEO (Search Engine
Optimization), wake up pal. You are going to do this basically all the time.
Affiliate marketing is more than just building a website and adding your
merchant's products. It's about getting your website ranked highly for your
niche keywords by combining SEO and link building. This will bring you constant
traffic and SALES!
BUT,
seo can become quite a process that most people hate to do. Link building is worse. Much worse. It's
horrible to permanently go out and find link partners. Seo Link Building tools is what you need.
Sixth
among the Affiliate Marketing Tools for success...
Email
Capture Tool. Some
of the top marketers today refer to an email list as the most important factor
to success online. It's
easy to understand this...a big list + one email = profit. With an email list,
your affiliate marketing efforts will be cut in half. You can make easy
affiliate money sending your email "offers" to your list.
You
need to grab your visitors' attention immediately. The moment they get to the appropriate page,
you have to get them to opt in to your email list.You need a unblockable email
popup window. Not an annoying window. You need a popup that is so visually
appealing and a free offer so attractive (such as a free report or tutorial)
that your visitors WANT to opt in to your list.This is easy to do. You just
need the right software and the right service such as GetResponse. There are
loads of software on the web that does this. Seventh
among the Affiliate Marketing Tools for success...
Reprint right & Private
label rights ebooks or your own ebooks This
is easy to understand why this is *must* tools. Let's say you want to increase
your email list.You'll edit your related reprint right or private label ebook
and add some affiliate links inside the reports. This way, if your visitors opt
in, you'll have the bonus opportunity to make an affiliate sale. It's even better to make your own report,
because it's unique and you can promote this *new* report on other places of
the web.
Eighth
among the Affiliate Marketing Tools for success...
Your
own free blog. If you
don't know what a blog is, it's a web journal.
Your
website will be where you promote the affiliate products and your blog will be
the place where you post informative articles covering topics about your area
of business. If you sell acne products for a company, you'll use a blog to
attract traffic and then send them from there to your sales page on your
website. OR you can use your blog to sell your products
(basically make it your website).
BUT,
a unique way to use your blog is for updates. Let's take the acne product for
an example. Let's say your merchant has
provided you with some new content (for example: new testimonial pics), you can
add these pictures to your blog and send an email to your list telling them to
see this new amazing testimonials. Those visitors in your list that hasn't yet
bought your product may be more confident now and purchase the product through
the affiliate link in your blog or going to your review/sales page of this
product by following a link in your blog. Both of these links should be added
to your post though.
You
can use Blogger or Wordpress to set up your free blogs.
Nineth among the Affiliate Marketing Tools for
success...
A
tracking tool. After
you have built a website and uploaded it as well as your blog, you need to know
where your visitors are coming from. This
is very important. Testing is a very good thing to do. You can gradually
increase your income till the highest point IF you do testing on a regular
basis.
I
know, I know...testing sounds like to much work, but it isn't!! I use a tracking service called Google
Analytics, which is free and I can check out exactly the following:
1.
how long a visitor stayed on a page
2.
on which page the visitor stayed the longest (good one this!)
3.
where the visitor came from
4.
on which page of your website did the visitor leave
5.
where the visitor lives (which country)
more...and
more...and more....and more!!!
Tenth
and final tool among the Affiliate Marketing Tools for success...
The
Right Training Manual. You
need to be taught affiliate marketing the right way. There is too much
worthless outdated information on the web now.You need someone to show you the
ropes...a mentor, someone that has done it and succeeded with affiliate
marketing. If you are a newbie you are absolutely doomed without this. Sorry,
but this is a fact. With the information overload on the web now, you are bound
to learn the wrong things. You need the right information the first time and
then build on that information.
