What’s your experience ?

Yes, i will tell you the 3 most important steps which readily helps you to make better affiliate income the next day or week. Affiliate marketing is a kind of online business that needs best/right steps to follow. These 3 steps that I am going to explore here won’t take much time to tweak your PPC Ad campaign better.

I would say, its a tiny rocket launch 3…2…1…GO !

Step 1 : Focused Campaign Keywords.

keywords are the source of traffic which ultimately makes the sale or no-sale decision. Getting 10 targeted visitors is thousand times better than getting 1000 non-targeted visitors. Basically, keywords tells the kind of visitors coming to your affiliate link. So your first step is removing unwanted keywords from your campaign. Answer this question, What is the goal of your Ad ? And decide keywords accordingly,

For example, if your goal is selling personal finance books then you should focus keywords like “buy personal finance books”, “order personal finance books”, “buy best finance books” etc. Make sure your keywords have these terms “buy”, “order”, “purchase”, “now”, “here”, “offer” etc. And remove the keywords which are not targeting to sell personal finance book. This way, your Ad campaign is totally filtered out to have only focused keywords. Finally, you are driving targeted traffic which converts.

Step 2 : Secret of Ad Text & CTR.

With right keywords, you Ads are shown to the targeted visitors. Now the Ad text which decides the CTR (Click-Through-Rate) of your Ad. What kind of Ad text you should use ? Basically, you Ad should have call-to-action. It should call the visitor to click. You Ad should out stand from other Ads. Its very simple to write an outstanding Ad text. See what others are writing & you write in totally unique way, you Ad definitely gets more clicks. I have tried an experiment to Raise Adwords CTR which nearly doubled my CTR in a day, it may work for you too. This article may help you to Write Text Ads.

Step 3 : Cutting down CPC & Ad Budget.

Cutting down the cost-per-click is the most important step in affiliate marketing through PPC Ads. Because when your CPC is low, you will get higher profits & higher Return-on-Investment (ROI). Your affiliate income margin increases with lower CPC. How to reduce CPC ? There comes the Quality Score (term used in Google Adwords) or Quality Index (term used by Yahoo). Overall, there are 3 major factors that decides the quality score as follows:

• Having keywords which are closed focused to the landing page.
• Increased CTR through better Ad text.
• I would recommend to organize similar keywords into one group with separate Ads for them. Make sure you Ad text should have the keywords too. Create multiple Ad groups.

These articles on Google Quality Score and Improving Yahoo Quality Index may help you better in reducing the CPC and Ad budget.

There are many more factors that decides how much money you make from affiliate marketing. 3 important factors to mention are,

• Selecting quality affiliate product which solves buyer needs.
• Finding moderately demanding product instead of going for a high or low demanding market.
• Landing page optimization specific to the product & targeting geographic locations.

Following these 3 simple steps will help your to increase your affiliate income in few days itself. I have written many articles about Affiliate marketing, you could check the Affiliate category for more useful articles. To mention, the recent post Secret of Making Money Online From Affiliates is worth reading ! Don’t miss it.

You could add a column in your affiliate page for related products. The end result is that, if your visitor is not willing to buy your main product, he may buy any of the related products. So you are increasing the chances of selling a product from your affiliate page.

Also, chances are there that your visitor may buy multiple products from your affiliate page. If that is the case, why you want to loose your money ? The money that you are investing for paid traffic may get back to you with more sales. Promoting relevant products may not hurt the visitor and that adds value to the visitors.

Moreover, promoting referral based products (pay-per-sign up) may give you additional income. Because, if your visitor is not willing to pay money from his pocket, he may simply sign up for the program that you are referring from your affiliate page. You will see the results soon, when you promote related products !

Advertisements on Affiliate Page.

Every affiliate marketer may ask this question, shall i put ads on my affiliate page ? You may get contradicting answers. In reality, it is a good idea to put advertisements on your affiliate page. BUT you should publish ads decently without hurting the visitor. Better to use the corners and bottom spots of your affiliate page for advertisements. You should not give more chance for your visitors to go out of your affiliate page.

One good idea is that, apart from usual adsense or adbrite ads you could put private ads (tell visitors that you are going to open ad space on your affiliate page). The advantage of putting private ad is that you could sell Ad space for the amount less then the amount that you invest for PPC program (adwords). In this way, you will easily take the part of invested money (a better approach of ROI).

Finally, with these two methods, you are increasing the probability of making more money from your affiliate page apart from the main product promotion.  It really works and you will see the results sooner.

Lets go to the topic. Generally, monetizing your site involves following two methods.

Pay-Per-Click Advertising.

Pay-Per-Click Advertising is the most simplest method of monetizing your site.

How it works ?

It involves displaying ads on your site that are closely related to the published content. Whenever a visitor clicks on the ads you will be paid per click basis. So the number of clicks is directly proportional to the amount earned.

What are the Advertising Programs ?

Google Adsense, the famous advertising program that serves ads for almost any kind of topic.

Yahoo Publisher Network, which is famous next to Adsense (currently, for US country only).

Adbrite, Chitika, InText Ads like Kontera, Infolinks etc are some of the other advertising program that works good.

How Do I Monetize ?

You have to Sign up for any of these program, all are free to join. Basic requirement is that you should own a site. Once your account approved, you have to paste a piece of code on your site to display the ads (that you will come to know after joining). Its very simple, don’t worry.

Some other advertising methods.

Selling Ads Space on Your Site. Using TextLink Ads you could directly sell advertisement space on your site and get paid. More sites for selling private ads.

Open Your Private Ads. You could find peoples who wants to put their Ads on your site and charge a monthly amount/rent directly from them. You could make an offer through your site itself.

Affiliate Programs.

Though I have written lot of articles related to affiliate programs, i recommend you to go over the basics of affiliate program (a lengthy article, don’t blame me).

How Affiliate Works ?

In general, Affiliate means “work for another”. Yes, you have to work for others by selling others product or services in your site. You will be paid commissions for each sale. So the number of sale is directly proportional to the amount of earnings. Its just linking a sales page from your site and whenever a visitor clicks and buys a product from that page, you will be paid. There’s nothing tough to understand or implement here.

What are the Affiliate Programs ?

Amazon, the well know famous online shopping mall. You could join a hand with amazon and promote a product of your choice. There are plenty of products covering almost all the topics.

Other affiliate systems that works good are Clickbank, Commission Junction, eBay which are paying more commission compared to amazon.

How Do I Monetize ?

Its the same, you have to sign up with any of these programs and the only requirement is you should own a site. After approval, you will be given with a piece of code or affiliate links (links that are pointing to the sales page) that you have to paste in your site.

Suggestion:

The best suggestion I could give you is, the product that you are promoting from your site should be closely related to your topic. That means, there are more chances that the visitor seeing useful information in your site may like to buy that product from your site. Its a very simple logic. One more thing, you have to select a quality, best, useful product that everyone should feel good.

That’s it, these are the two simple methods for earning income from your online business site. Also, you must see this big list of advertising and affiliate programs.

Now the question, what really is required for good income ?

Just take a real world example, if have a super market and all the products are in place. If no one comes to your store, what will happen ? No business, right ? So it all depends on the huge volume of people coming to your store. The same principle applies here, more the number of visitors to your site, chances are more for higher income.
