Choosing only the most expensive products
Some beginning affiliate marketers may think that the more expensive product – the higher chance to earn a commission. However, it is quite a mistake in the market. While choosing an affiliate offer, take a look at the price lastly. Of course, the formula of higher price – higher commission is working, but what is more important is your skills to convince people to buy it through the content.
Moreover, the higher products have fewer audiences of potential clients, which makes it even harder.
If you think that t is better not to promote expensive products at all, it is not true. Your skills are the main factor in this issue. If you are sure that you can make people buy even an unbelievably expensive product, try it.
Not understanding the product
You need to understand what you are promoting. Without knowing what this offer is, you cannot convince people to buy it. You should also make sure that the way you talk about products is authentic and exporting, which makes the content more convincing and trustworthy.
Make your audience into clients by providing reviews and fair recommendations.
Copying your opponents
Affiliate marketing is for sure a competitive market, where you can find very different, unique, and creative ways of promotion. However, it does not matter that you can just copy someone’s style or strategy and make it your own.
Take a look at your niche, and research the audience and its preferences. Find a perfect formula combining your strategy with the trends and basic rules. Be innovative and experimenting – that is what can make you the top-rated specialist in the market.
Putting features before benefits
Your main task as an affiliate marketer is to sell a product, in other words, convince people that this specific product is the best in the market. Otherwise, your audience will find another product on another webpage.
The rule is simple – customers are more interested in benefits than in features. Talking more specifically, they are searching for the product that will be the top 1 based on all possible criteria. Describing features is informative, but benefits will evoke emotion.
Forgetting about SEO
Before starting your path as an affiliate marketer, you should remember that SEO is your key to success. A perfect SEO strategy includes a few factors such as:
- trending keywords;
- good UX;
- meaningful and perfect content;
- backlinks.
Use SEO to higher your commission share through sales increasing on the website.
