You can in addition target more niches or invest more in advertising if you have the resources to buy ads. The ultimate is to drive enough traffic to your affiliate offer to move the products you are marketing. If you know what you are doing, there are a many ways/tactics available to drive this traffic. These include social media marketing, email marketing, search engine marketing, banner ads, PPC ads, and lots more. If your sales are dropping, it means it is time to rejig your marketing strategies and review the marketing tactics you are using. These here tips if diligently implemented can help to boost your affiliate marketing sales significantly.

Tip #1: Promote Only Popular and High-Converting Offers

This is rather obvious. If you promote popular products that people want to buy, you make more sales. You can easily find such popular, high-converting offers on ClickBank, the most popular affiliate marketplace for digital products online. On this hugely popular e-commerce platform, the popularity of products is indicated by the Gravity score of such products. The higher the Gravity score, the more affiliates are promoting it. That more affiliates are promoting a product is an indication that the product is converting well. Meaning, many more affiliates are increasing their sales with the product.
 
Tip #2: Focus More on Driving Traffic

The backbone of affiliate marketing is traffic, traffic and more traffic. The reason is simple. Affiliate marketers don’t have to focus on developing products, creating sales pages or providing customer service. Their main business and direct focus is to generate traffic to the product offers. That means concentrating well over 80% of their time promoting products and generating traffic. The traffic-driving activities they easily take to include, optimizing their campaigns, testing ad copy for such campaigns and finding new traffic sources to test.
 
Tip #3: Depend Less on Review Sites

Many Internet marketing experts through eBooks and online courses do recommend review sites as credible avenues for promoting affiliate products. Well, they are right but review sites are not that effective for all products. But, for complicated and more costly products like software and services, review sites are great. Review sites are merely just another link that the visitor has to go through before reaching the affiliate link pitched by the affiliate sales page. A more direct and profitable approach is to send all your traffic direct to your affiliate sales page without having to pass through review sites. That is one way to depend less on review sites and still be able to pitch your affiliate links effectively to increase sales.

Tip #4: Diligently Build a Credible Email List

Email marketing may be “old school” but it is still a hugely effective marketing strategy. This is more so when you have taken some time to diligently build a credible and reliable email list which you can segment for marketing efficiency. A credible email list allows you to show your affiliate offer to your email recipients as many times as you wish. You can do this multiple times in the form of email follow-ups and even broadcasts. The more exposures your email recipients have of your offer, the more likely they are to click on your affiliate links and deal. More deals mean more conversions and more sales.

Tip #5: Routinely Test Offers against One Another

If you want to increase sales, it is a good marketing tactic to test offers against one another. This testing is quite easy to do if you are using advertising systems like PPC, pay-per-click ads. However, for some other marketing tactics like article marketing for instance, testing offers against one another is not that easy. Doing so means you’ll practically have to change the affiliate link in your Resource Box for each article. Not an easy task at all. But, the most practical way to easily test offers against one another is to register your own domain which you can control as you wish and you can redirect it to your affiliate link. Anytime and as you wish, you can simply change the redirect through your Domain Registrar’s Control Panel.

How to Link Your Ads Online

As a rule in online advertising, your ads links must link to the place you want your site visitors to see. Usually that “place” is where the product you are selling or marketing can be found. It does not really matter whether the place is in your webpage/blog or in your SFI Gateway.

A link is just like a pathway which leads to somewhere. That somewhere is where you want your online visitors to get to. Whether the link is in form of text ads, banner ads or any other type of ad, so long as it takes visitors to wherever you want them to go when they click on it, it is a perfect link. That is the type of link that yields the desired results. What counts therefore, is not as much as where the ad link is placed but where it leads to when clicked.

You can place your ads links in your webpage/blog as well to an SFI Gateway provided the links take visitors to what you want them to see. That is what matters.

Good luck in your marketing!!!

 

Best Marketing Methods for Beginners in SFI Business

To my mind, what really should constitute the best marketing methods for beginners are methods which give the best results, are easy to use, cheap or even free to use. For that reason, it is pretty difficult to settle for just one marketing method as the best. It is always advisable to use many methods singly or in combinations. That is what gives the best results which can immensely benefit beginners. For best results, the marketing message can be packaged in form of: 

 
-Text ads.
- Banner ads.
- Blogs.
- Articles marketing.
- Brochures.
- Bulletins.
- Newspaper ads.
- Flyers, etc, etc.

Then the message can be put out in any of the following common and popular methods:

1. Internet marketing (e-mail, Websites, Blogs, etc.)
2. Print media (periodical/magazine ads, card decks, etc.)
3. Direct mail.
4. "Warm marketing" (friends, family, co-workers, etc.)
5. "Power Retailing" (extensive retailing beyond warm market)
6. One-on-one local recruiting.
7. Opportunity meetings (group presentations).
8. Telemarketing (phone prospecting and sales).
9. Radio/Television.
10. Social media.
11. Dropping Business cards.
12. Dropping Gift cards /Flyers.

These methods could be very good for beginners because:

a) Many of the methods are cheap or even free.
b) They are easy to use by beginners.
c) They are very effective.
d) They can be used any and everywhere.
e) They are cost-effective.
f) They are readily available and easy to access.
g) They give very good results. 


 
What is really important is that beginners should never forget to use their Gateways correctly in all their ads. That is the only way the credits of the ads will go to them. If not well used, all ads no matter how well-designed will not yield the desired results.
