Launching Your Successful Affiliate Marketing Business - “Foundations” (Video)

Friends, many Internet Marketing and eCommerce pros launch Affiliate Marketing (“A.M.”) businesses yet few succeed. This introductory video (https://youtu.be/3cb0nq8AtJI) explores the foundations of A.M.  First, we examine the three types of affiliate “Products” – Physical, Digital and Services. Next, we take a look at A.M. “Platforms” including Landing and Sales Pages, Blogs, Facebook Pages, Shopify and WordPress eCommerce themes with APIs along with customized platforms for selling services. We then turn to “Email List Builders and Auto-Responders” such as Aweber, MailChimp and GetResponse.

How to Build Your Successful Affiliate Marketing Business - Part 2 ("Platforms")

Friends, once you have the decided on the "Product Category" you plan to market - Physical, Digital and/or Service - the next step is to select an appropriate "Platform" for your business. If you are selling individual products a simple "Landing or Sales Page" will likely meet your needs. Click Funnels is a great starting point. We find that "Blogs" or basic web sites which allow you to post Affiliate links and HTML banners along with descriptive text are just fine for most Physical and Digital products. Google Blogger or a suitable WordPress theme such as 'Salient' are good choices here. "Shopify" or a "WordPress" theme with APIs to Amazon, eBay, etc. are best if you want to import hundreds or even thousands of Physical and Digital products. We recommend visiting the "Envato Market - WordPress" tab for good quality themes. Specialized platforms for Services including Six Figure Mentors and Wealthy Affiliate are excellent for selling Services.

How to Build Your Successful Affiliate Marketing Business - Part 1 ("Product Types")

Friends, so you want to launch an Affiliate Marketing business. Where to begin? As with any business you need to carefully select your target avatars and assess their greatest needs. Once this important step is accomplished the most basic question concerns solutions. Which types of solutions do you want to offer? There are three (3) product categories every IM and eCommerce pro must clearly understand. First, "Physical products" range from sporting goods to fine jewelry to consumer electronics ranging in price from $10-$20 USD to upwards of several thousands USD. Second, are "Digital" products" including downloadable software, music, videos and eBooks. While increasingly popular, these products commonly have lower ASPs (average selling prices) ranging from roughly $5-$100 USD. Thirdly are "Service products" such as professional training, coaching and planning (e.g. financial management, learning a new skill or even travel). Two important things separate "Services" from Physical and Digital products: 1) They tend to having much higher ASPs (and thus higher commissions), and 2) They hold the promise of "transforming" the customer from point A to B.

Increasing Conversion Rates Boost Your Revenue - Part 6 ("Reduce Risk")

Friends, having looked at Congruence, Customer Testimonials, Urgency, A/B Testing and CTA Testing ... which other techniques can we use to increase conversion rates? One answer is to reduce actual or perceived transaction "Risk" among prospects and current customers. For a Landing Page "Opt-In" request clearly state that you will not share the person's contact information with others and will not put them on an email "spam" list. Moreover, they can "Opt-Out" at any time. For product or service purchases risk reduction methods include a no questions asked "30-day money back guarantee", a "try then buy" process or even an "extra incentive" if the buyer is not 100% satisfied (e.g. a full refund plus a bonus ... such as cash, a complementary ebook, white paper, etc.).

Increasing Conversion Rates Boost Your Revenue - Part 5 ("CTA Testing")

Colleagues, I trust we have agreement that Congruence, Customer Testimonials, Urgency (combined with Lead Magnets) and A/B Split Testing are all vital to boosting your conversion rates. So what lies ahead? Answer: Perform A/B/n Testing on multiple "Calls to Action" (CTAs). We addressed "CTAs" in a previous post. Syntax (written or verbal), Size, Location, Ease of Use and even Color are key elements of a great CTA. However, investing the time and effort to "test" are variety of CTAs across different media platforms (blogs, social media, forums, web sites, video ... desktop and mobile) can take your conversion rates from 2%-3% to 4%-5%. Even a 1%-2% increase in "Opt-Ins" can translate into a 10%-20% boost in downstream revenue. So where to start? We suggest carefully examining the "raw data" from whichever Integrated Business System or Sales Funnel tool you currently use. Moreover, you can use one of the automated testing tools mentioned in Part 4 of this series (Cardinal Path, Crazy Egg, InstaPage, Thrive Theme, UnBounce, VWO).

Friends, so far in this series we have examined "Congruence", " Customer Testimonials" and "Urgency" as key factors in boosting conversion rates and your revenue. What's next? Let's take a look at "A/B Testing". Simply put two or more versions (A, B ...n) are compared, which are identical except for one variation that might affect a prospect or customer's decision. Version A may be the currently used version (control), while version B is modified in some respect (treatment). "A/B Testing" can be performed for each step in your Internet sales funnel, but should start with your Landing Page(s) where you are seeking the highest possible "Opt-In" rate. Many paid advertising tools such as Google AdWords, Bing Ads, Facebook Ads may come with A/B testing tools onboard. Other tools include Cardinal Path, Crazy Egg, InstaPage, Thrive Theme, UnBounce, VWO, etc. A/B Testing is valuable for basic-to-intermediate level Internet Marketers.
