Now since most newbies in this game really haven’t made a dent in making cash online, they’re more than likely to hit the affiliate marketing bandwagon. This is a common trend and you need to cash in on it.
But of course, when you roll out your own affiliate marketing system on your website or use something like infusionsoft to manage your affiliates, it’s a high toll on your hosting and managing work AND your pocket as well. So to make sure your efforts go into fruit that tastes good, submit your product/service announcements to where people who really work hard gather.
Over time as a newbie learns, he manages to find these resources to keep his affiliate marketing business successful and also is in a state to pay a bit for it. Okay, so these are places where future superaffiliates start making gold:
WWW.JVNOTIFYPRO.COM – The place where Joint venture notifications arrive months in advance and affiliates begin conquering search engines for these notifications.
WWW.JVME.COM – This is the highest traffic sending network of affiliates out there.
You may have to pay a bit for these, but again even those who launch VIP ventures have to pay. Proves they’re not broke and have cash they earned out of what they did promoting others!
Affiliate Service Centers
The previous one was actually for more JV focused traffic needs and is advanced for newbies. As in, if you need an army of interconnected affiliates planning and bringing you hoards of traffic for a launch operation, then JV affiliates are great, but if you’ve already launched or didn’t think about doing a launch and need more of individual personal stream focused affiliates then consider these:
- CLICKBANK
- PLIMUS
- LINKSHARE
- SHAREaSALE
- COMMISSION JUNCTION
The advantage with these is that they all have huge arrays of affiliates who’re looking to create their own products in the future. Also they have excellent competition measuring metrics and statistic reports, right there with your affiliate offer. So the people who opt to promote you will:
a) be looking to test a market out and hence put in some effort to see if they can in the future do it for themselves (even though that’s competition later on, you can use these affiliates to help you make a killing right NOW!)
and
b) send traffic from their individual lists instead of JV groups even though you’re not offering a peak boost of sales that happen in launches. So you’re covered for having just normal everyday traffic needs.
Market Others
You don’t need to have a super product to start getting traffic. If you plan to use affiliates when you launch, why not be an affiliate for someone else while they launch? What I mean is you can get traffic from a crowd that may be interested in someone else instead of you at present. In the dating arena, we call this “stealing the rockstar’s girlfriend”.
It’s simple, build up your bonus giving site for that launch you think is going to crush it in your niche. Now know this, there is NOTHING known as a dedicated customer. Yep, consumer trends after a lot of study show that people buy from one person, get addicted to the advice and then come back for more. That’s why a lot of consecutive launches when planned properly go successfully ie. the consumer is already engaged.
So hand out your bonus and build a list off someone else’s guarantee to satisfy the crowd. That way, even if he does get the traffic, you still have first contact with them. Just make sure to keep it that way by serving them more and higher quality information in your emails. They’ll buy from him and communicate with you and the next time they have a solution requirement, you’ll sense it first. Then, monetize this traffic with a product/solution that your competitor could not service and sell it with better marketing. So what was originally someone else’s traffic that you touched en-route, is now your traffic that’s dedicated to you.
