Most "experts" are very vague about affiliate marketing and the affiliate strategies they use to rake in the big bucks. Most often you'll see something like:
"Decide what you want to promote, send people to your affiliate link, and earn a commission for each sale made through your link."
Well, technically that's true... but there is a whole lot more to it than that.
There's a lot more to affiliate marketing than slapping up a few banners.
In reality, promoting affiliate products isn't a whole lot different than promoting your own products, except that you're under a lot of restrictions because it isn't your own product. For example:
You can't follow up after the sale as easily, making backend products more difficult to set up... but not impossible.
You don't make as much from each sale.
You have to follow advertising and promotion restrictions imposed by the merchant.
On the other hand, there are a lot of good things about promoting affiliate products:
No inventory.
No customer service.
No product creation.
Can establish a business quickly.
Like most things in life, promoting affiliate products is a trade-off.
Now let's talk about some specific affiliate strategies that you can use to really get your affiliate marketing off the ground.
