Do you ask these questions?
Affiliate marketing is all about trust and building strong relationships. Every Guru will tell you that, but with me not being a Guru yet I need to also build strong relationships and trust with my networks I use.
One thing I never thought of asking my managers in the past is how they go about approving advertisers. I never thought about asking this question before because I always thought it was not my business. Well, as it turns out, it is my business. It’s my money on the line trying to promote there products or services-right?
Affiliate networks have a responsibility to ensure the advertisers they take on have enough funds to back there campaigns they want advertised as well as have enough product to go around. If your affiliate manager has no clue about either of the above then you need to find a network and a affiliate manager who does know something.
This information, if you ask for it, should not be kept from you! Some networks take on advertisers to just make a quick buck – and in some cases that is fine – but for new affiliate marketers starting out it can take some time before you get traction with an offer so if it is gone when your traction comes you just wasted how much time?
I bring this up today because this is exactly what has happened to me. The one site I have right now that is producing money, $910.00 this month so far, should be twice as much as that because my search traffic is 50% looking for another offer – one that the network I got it from pulled two weeks after I started building the site for it. My sites name is exactly what the offer is called, so how I am making money with another offer is beyond me. I will take it though.
Conclusion
Before you start running an offer and building sites based around that offer make sure it is going to be around for a while. Don’t waste your time and money on a offer that is geared towards PPC marketers who can get fast traffic for a few weeks and turn off their campaigns when the offer is done. If you have to build up your marketing budget with search traffic then make sure you have a solid foundation offer to start from.
Or better yet – have a generic domain name so you can flip offers when need be and not be stuck with a page one listing for a popular offer that you don’t have!!!
The managers I have dealt with so far have been great and answered all my questions even though I barely earn any money with them….
$910 from one site, passive income is bloody impressive. Well done.
ReplyAffiliate marketing is something I’m currently working on too. I think we need to experiment a little in the early stages to find the best way we can work it. Good luck with it Collin.
ReplyI ask my self those questions all the time. I guess it just depends on the campaign and the offer, but I would tend to agree on not leaping to spending resources on building for something that may be gone in 3 weeks. Looking at it like that requires one to see it as risk versus reward.
Is it worth the rapid ramp up time for a burst of revenue that will go away in a few weeks? Risk VS Reward imho.
ReplyI just found out that it takes a lot of work to earn money from affiliate marketing. But I also know that once you start earning, it will be hard to stop.
