Exactly as the title suggests. Only take a look if you fully understand how affiliate marketing works. The bum marketing mistakes that most people make that kill their profits stone dead.
Step-By-Step Tips
1. Better Not To Use Any Link Inside The Content Or Bio Box That You Can't Control: With a redirect link you can easily adjust the target page and send the traffic to a new affiliate link for the same product, or a whole new product, or to a page at your site.
With a redirect link you can make one simple change at your site, so you remain in control no matter what happens with the products and services that you linked to.
2. Provide Specific Details Information: You want to make certain that you stay away from information that is too specific that can easily become irrelevant.
There Are Two Reasons For This:
1. If you include a price and then the product owner raises it, anyone clicking through from your article will feel cheated and they will not buy.
2. If the reader can immediately see that your article is a couple years old, they will think all of the information in it is likely to be outdated and they will click away.
The aim when you write an article should be to have it still bringing in sales or commissions years from now.
That way, you will gradually build up your income by having more and more profit-pulling articles out there.
Make them seem fresh and new for as long as possible, and they will pay you back well.
3. Better Not Put Any Information Into Your Article That You DON'T Want All Over The World: You know article travel and they can global in a matter of days and certainly over time you can easily have a worldwide audience.
It was a nuisance, if you put your cell phone number in your bio box, and having people call a cell phone number that has been disconnected makes a real bad impression.
So, never put anything into your article that you don't want the world to know and use.
4. Do Not Get Too Personal: This one varies a little bit depending on what you are promoting. Giving some personal information in articles can be useful, but it needs to have at least one (preferably more) of these purposes;
- Hooking the reader in at the beginning of the article
- Building trust
- Recommending the product in a non-obvious way
Even used in these ways, personal information should generally take very little space in your article.
