Engaging the audience
Affiliate marketing is all about engaging the audience and converting them into customers. If you can not engage an audience, you will never make a substantial income from affiliate marketing. So for anyone who is really interested in making the big bucks from being an affiliate, knowing how to engage the audience is of paramount importance.
What are the strategies that you can use to engage an audience?
There are many ways of boosting your engagement, most of them you already know or may have heard of. Some strategies are more efficient than others. We will only talk about the strategies that are guaranteed to get you good profits. The basics you already know: you need to have a functional blog and a killer sales page. The following tactics transcend blogging and put you right up there with the big boys who make big money:
Useful Reviews
Before people make purchases online, they check out the reviews and look for whatever information they can get to make an informed decision. The problem is that most reviews available online are fake. If you can provide real and honest product reviews for your audience, they will trust you and come to you for information. The more they trust you the more they are likely to respond positively to your campaigns and the more products you sell.
For most products, in order for you to be able to give real and honest reviews, you will need to actually use them first. Think of it as a direct investment into your reputation, giving fake reviews to promote your products can easily discredit your reputation if the product turns out to be of poor quality, once that happens your marketing career can take a huge deep downwards.
Once the audience knows that they can depend on you for providing real and useful reviews, they will keep coming back to read your opinions on other products and that kind of engagement can actually be your biggest push towards major profits.
So in order to give reputable product reviews, just be honest. Cover even the negative qualities of the product. Do not be afraid, you are only promoting a product not retailing. Your reputation will take you to the highest levels of affiliate marketing.
Product Comparisons
Just like in a physical shop, people comparison shop online. Since there are many different types of the same product, information that can help a customer make a choice comes highly appreciated. It plays to your advantage if you can help the readers gather all the information they need to make a choice, that is where comparing multiple products of the same type comes in.
Using comparisons, you can highlight different properties of a product and provide useful information. You do not have to be biased towards your own product, just a fair comparison with an honest conclusion is enough for the customers to make a decision. You will find that most customers will pick your product instead as they value the genuineness of your comparisons.
Webinars
Webinars make up the other half of interactive engagement strategies. You can turn to webinars for higher and better engagement, use live webinars to answer audience questions or even invite product owners to come explain first hand how their product works to the audience.
Here are some important tips concerning webinars in affiliate marketing:
• Affiliate marketing webinars should have active participants, try to keep the participants active by encouraging interaction during the webinar
• Engage the participants and keep them glued to the webinar by providing lots of free information about the product that cannot be found anywhere else.
• Featuring the product owner is a great way of getting people interested in the webinar and the product itself
• Always have a domain to redirect anyone who may be interested in the product during the webinar.
• There are many online platforms and tools that can be used to host and run webinars.
Adding value to products
Adding value to affiliate products is one of the best ways of ensuring that you get quick and big profits whenever you run a marketing campaign. There are various ways that can be used to add more value to an offer, some of the methods used by leading marketers include giveaways, bonuses, and discounts
Giveaways and Bonuses
You can giveaway freebies and bonuses to people who purchase a product using your link. The bonuses do not have to be anything big, just a small valuable gesture is enough to drive up your sales. As long as the freebies are relevant to the product being promoted it is fine. A good example of a bonus would be creating an eBook related to the product in question and giving it out as a bonus to anyone who purchases products from your sales page.
Coupons, Rebates, and discounts
Offering discounts in form of coupons and rebate is another brilliant way of adding value to a product. Everyone likes discounts and any form of discount no matter how small will for sure increase your conversion rate. You can use “exclusive” reduction codes that people can use when purchasing a product on your sales page.
The coupons and codes you can either make yourself using online tools or you can get from the product owner. They usually have a good number of those to give away when they launch a new product. If you cannot get exclusive coupons you can offer money rebates to the readers who buy the product at full price. Rebates should happen immediately when someone completes a purchase of the said product, that is how you maintain trust and get positive reviews and hype from the audience.
Conclusion
A lot of people still think that affiliate marketing is setting up affiliate links and waiting for customers to click and make a purchase but a lot has since changed. The business is no longer the same as in the beginning and a lot more carefully thought out tactics are now required in order to make significant profits. You need to implore strategies that get people interested, establish a neat reputation and add more value to the products that you promote.
Keep in mind that you are not the only one promoting a product, in order to make good profits you have to convince the audience that clicking and buying from your links are better than the next person’s links. And the only way to do that is to develop a good reputation through honest reviews and add value to the products. Make use of comparisons, webinars, and tutorials to provide useful information to the audience, in turn, they will reward you by making a purchase from your links.
That is how you increase your earnings in affiliate marketing.
Good luck.
