Have you ever wondered if what you know about affiliate marketing is accurate? Consider the following paragraphs and compare what you know to the latest info on affiliate marketing.
Myth Number 1: Just Put Your Affiliate Link in Random Places on The Net
There is a prevalent myth where you can make money from affiliate advertising by just placing your off the shelf affiliate link in arbitrary places such as spamming blogs or FFA sites with it. That is Wrong! No one will buy from your affiliate link if you do that. You first must mask your link by making it shorter, or even more fitting, get a top level domain and just use it to redirect your affiliate link. Then you can recommend useful information to blogs and related sites and use your domain name as part of your resource box. Next then you will observe some people clicking on your links.
Myth Number 2: Affiliate Marketers Don’t Require Websites
This myth is False! Even though you are an affiliate marketer, you positively require your own web site. You can have a simple one page web site where you center on advertising one affiliate product. This kind of site is generally called a landing page or squeeze page.
A squeeze page is a page specifically made to make the visitor to offer their name and email address before you display them the rest of the sales page. Another possibility is by starting a big content web site such as a blog that advertises your affiliate links on it. But in either manner, the bottom line is that you depend upon your own website.
Myth Number 3: You Don’t Need a List
This is a prevailing fable where people think that only the ones that designed the product or service needs to get an email list. That is False! Even though you don’t own the product you are advertising as an affiliate doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t obtain your own list. Having your individual email list is the best business advantage you will own. This will permit you to transmit more messages to them to visit your affiliate links and recommend more products that would interest them. Of course to do this the right way you want to develop a bond with your list so they have confidence in what you recommend to them.
