” I earn around $2500 per month by affiliate marketing ” . You must have gone through such kind of lines on the internet. On youtube , peope have shown you the process of it and told the names of some platforms . They must have said it a copy and a paste work .
Well the problem for the new comers is that they know how and where to copy the affiliate links but don’t know where to PASTE them . And this is the biggest problem . Suppose you have got the best place to put those links but you would get revenue only when someone buy those products . If someone is not buying , it is because of the following things :
First , it is not pasted on such platform where there is high traffic . A place where around 500 people comes may not work .
Second ,the affiliate product doesn’t match with the genre of the website/blog . For example , if your website is kind of sports and you are placing affiliate links of medicines , then most probably your audience will not even click on that link. Or you have a website based on health issues and you are placing links of a football , then it will not work . Remember that if your website contains irrelevant links then this can reduce your audience to come to your website . You should be very choosy when selecting the affiliate products.
Third , its content and representation may not up to the mark . To sell a product , what matters most is its branding . If you are not claiming some of the best features of it , then how would your audience click on the link . Always remember , you must hide the qualities of the product by its branding . Going deeper then you can analyse it as a food item of a five start restaurant . They will decorate your order so that it would look like awesome . There the pricing of the product is because of its representation , its hygiene . There will be no role of its taste . So everything depends on branding . Quality comes later. Most of the products fail because their branding is not done good enough .
Fourth , showing direct links of affiliate products . Suppose you are visiting such a site where all the above factors are up to the mark . That website may contain many affiliate links . What will you feel on that website if the links are shown directly ? It will make you feel horrible as such links are very long and no one wants to see them direct . This can be a factor that your audience are not clicking on the affiliate links. So embed them behind some word or behind an image . It increases the chance of clicking on it as graphics attracts people .
So points to remember :
1) Choose high traffic platform
2)Relevant links to your website
3)Branding and representation
4)Hide links behind a word,buttons or image
May be there are more possible reasons of not getting clicks on affiliate links . Don’t panic . Create multiple static websites of different niche and apply all the above rules . This increases your chances . If you don’t know how to make a website /get free hosting / get SSL certificate , just head on to a youtube channel of your native language . That’s it.
You can also start a youtube channel but there you have to show your face in order to influence your audience and I guess many people don’t want . Well your choice . Keep smiling and learning . Will be meeting with some more amazing contents. Take care
