Affiliate Marketing Means Using Email Marketing
David McKenzie
As an affiliate in an affiliate program you need to be good at affiliate marketing. One of the most important aspects of affiliate marketing is
email marketing.
Get it right and you will be a successful affiliate. Get it wrong and you will be just another affiliate statistic. (It is estimated that between 80% and 90% of affiliates make little or no money from affiliate programs)
What email marketing methods work best to be a successful affiliate?
Here are 3 methods that consistently produce the best results for affiliates:
1. Developing a Newsletter
You MUST have a personal newsletter that goes out on a regular
basis. Just because you're an affiliate doesn't mean you should
not have a newsletter.
A newsletter with valuable information lets you build an email
list. Then you can market your affiliate programs through
articles and ezine ads in your own newsletter. I personally have
experienced some excellent results by promoting affiliate
programs I belong to in ezine ads.
I know I personally have clicked on thousands of ezine ads in
newsletters!
2. Set up an Email Course
A great way to build an email list is to run a free email
course.
You package some of your content into an email course running
over perhaps a few weeks and offer it for free to subscribers.
What you can do is have links at the bottom of each email
promoting a different affiliate program.
For example, if you offered a 5-part email course you could
promote 5 different affiliate programs in each email. In each
email would be a link to a different affiliate program. Each
link would have your unique affiliate code.
3. Offer an Ebook Download
Another great way to build an email marketing list as an
affiliate is to offer a free ebook download. You can offer the
download via autoresponder so that an email goes out to each
subscriber giving them the download page.
In that email you could promote a few of your affiliate programs.
You can also promote affiliate programs by having links
throughout the ebook. However be careful not to just provide an
ebook full of links - you want to provide quality information
first and the affiliate program links second.
Email marketing is an essential tool for the successful affiliate. Use it properly and you will see some fantastic results!
