Affiliate Marketing Through Landing Pages

{ Posted on Aug 01 2010 by Aaron Werner }

Have you ever thought about having other people market your products or services? If so then affiliate marketing is for you. Affiliate marketing is cheap, effective and can increase your revenues greatly. It is also cost effective.

Keep these suggestions and tips in mind when affiliate marketing.

Choose a good affiliate model.

One type of affiliate marketing that most people are familiar with is commission based affiliations. For example: you will only be required to pay your publishers or sellers for their services when you make a sale through their websites. However, there are other methods to choose from which are equally effective, depending on what your overall goals.

If you would rather build a list of subscribers, you can pay your affiliates for each person that they bring to you that subscribes to your list or for each lead they generate. you may be more interested in driving traffic to your site, if this is the case then you would pay them for each visitor.

Your main focus should be your landing page

You need to have your affiliates drive traffic to a Landing Page instead of a website. Landing pages convert traffic better because they are designed with the end goal in mind, to sell a product or generate a lead. They tend to convert at a higher rate due to the fact they have a single call to action.

You can expect to spend allot of time and money when creating an effective landing page (if you are doing it by scratch). I have created them in the past for $300-$12,000. Price depends on the functionality. I no longer build pages from scratch, I now use ad2action.com. for some of you that do not know what ad2action.com is, just click on the link below; they provide a turnkey system for creating landing pages. Their system consists of selecting from 1’000′s of designs, Lead forms, auto-responder, drip marketing, auto-delivery of content and so much more.

Find the perfect affiliate company.

When you are done building you landing page for your product you will want to associate your self with a good affiliate network.

Examples of potential affiliate networks for your to look at include: http://www.valueclick.com http://www.commissionjunction.com http://www.linkshare.com

This list of networks seem to be popular among both merchant and affiliates based upon the large number of users they have.

Determine your monthly budget.

You need to identify how much you’re willing to spend on affiliate marketing before you actually get started with it. If you’re just starting out you may want to stay a little on the low budget side until you have established a pattern and method for keeping track of the effectiveness of your individual affiliate marketers. Additionally, you can always change your budget on a month-to-month basis as needed for sales, promotions, holidays, seasonal products etc. Don’t forget to factor in the fees charged by the affiliate marketing website when planning out your budget.

Track your results

The affiliate networking websites have plenty of tracking tools that you can use to monitor and map the performance and effectiveness of your affiliate marketing methods. This well help you to ensure that you are utilizing the correct tools and methods to maximize your ROI for your business.
