Minisites As Affiliate Marketing Selling Tools

By Luis Galarza, Affiliate Marketing Secrets Blog.

Are You Using Mini-sites As Affiliate Marketing Tools?

If not, you need to start right away... Mini-sites are not just for those online marketers selling information products or downloadable software or applications, affiliate marketers can also use mini-sites as powerful selling tools.

The process is very simple just create a good guide with quality content targeting a specific niche and them promote relevant associate programs through out the information (don't over do it), also use recommendation or resource boxes at the end of each topic with link to quality products (no more than 3), you can also add Google Adsense to the site for even more ways of monetizing your virtual real estate.

You can also use this mini-site or landing page technique by recommending or promoting only one affiliate program or product per site. but, it works better when you can recommend a couple merchants that selling the same or similar product but are offering different prices, bonus, or benefits.


For example; If you are promoting an Internet marketing ebook, you can also recommend some related books from Amazon.com.


I don't recommend you to use a blog for this type of promotions, but if you have no money you can still use this technique by creating a Squidoo lense or site. Squidoo lenses are easy to rank high on top search engines like Google, just follow the instructions and you will be up running in less than 20 minutes.

Another choice is Microsoft Office Basic, which give you a free web site and a free paid domain name. You will need a free MSN or Hotmail email account to get your MS Office Basic site, plus you need a credit card just for processing.

Start promoting and boost your affiliate commissions today with mini-sites...

AFFILIATE TIPS: Product Recommendations To Increase Your Commissions

By Luis Galarza, Affiliate Marketing Secrets Blog.

Learn How To Use Affiliate Program Product Recommendations To Boost Your Bottom Line, Which Mean Larger Commission Checks For You!



In the world of affiliate marketing or an affiliate marketer, there are many methods in which you can boost your earnings and maintain the account that you have worked so hard for to gain. Most of the strategies and tactics can be learned easily. You don't need to go anywhere far from your home or office computer. They are available online, 24 hours a day and 7 days a week of any given year.

One of the more successful ways of increasing affiliate marketing sales conversions is through the use of associate program product recommendations. Many marketers know that this is one of the most effective strategies in promoting a certain product for better conversions.

When your customers or website visitors has enough trust in you and your expert advice, then they will definitely trust any of your recommendations. You need to be very careful in using this approach, though. If you start marketing everything by recommendation, your credibility will actually wear out, and will make your visitors or customers go somewhere else. This is seen especially when recommendations are seemingly exaggerated and without much truth in it, or simple when is over use.

Do not be scare to talk about things that you do not like about a given product or service. You won't lose any trust points, actually this will make your recommendation more realistic and will tend to increase your credibility which will turn into a sale.

Also, you need to know that if your visitors are really interested in what you are offering, they will be more than delighted to get more information to see what is good about the product, what is not so good, and how the product will help them solve their problems.

When you are recommending a certain product, there are some things to remember on how to make it work effectively and for your advantage.

You need to be seen as the true and leading expert in your market.

You have to remember this simple web conversion equation: Price resistance diminishes in direct proportion to trust. Meaning, if your visitors feel and believe that you are an expert in your niche, they are more inclined to click and buy the product. But, if you are not exuding any confidence and self-assurance in endorsing your products, they will probably feel that same way and will go in search of another product or service which is more believable, or even go look for another expert on the field that has more accurate information about the product.


So, how do you establish yourself as an expert?

Very simple, by offering unique and new solutions or relevant content they would not get anywhere else. Sometimes you will need to show proof that what you are promoting works as promised. Also, by displaying prominent testimonials and endorsements from respected and known personalities, in related fields of course can help on boosting their confident on the product or service.


Always try to avoid hype at all costs.

Because it is better to sound low key and confident, than to scream and seek attention the wrong way. Anyways, you would not want to sound unprofessional and have that thinking stick to your potential customers and clients, now would you? Best to appear cool and self-assured at the same time will give you a better shot for the sale.

Another thing you need to keep in mind is that prospects are not stupid. They are actually turning to experts and may already know the things that you know, or even know more. If you back up your claims with hard facts and research data, they would gladly put down hundreds, or even thousands worth of money to your endorsements. But if you don’t, they are smart enough to try and look at your competitors and what they are offering.

One thing to do before you add recommendations to any affiliate product, it is given that you should try and test the product and support. You don't want the risk of promoting junk products and services. You need to think how long it took you to build credibility and trust among your visitors. All that will take to destroy it is one big mistake on your marketing.

Is better to promote recommendations of products that you have 100% confidence in. You can test the product support before you begin to ensure that the people you are referring it to would not be left high and dry when a problem suddenly emerge.

Take a closer look at your affiliate market and look at the tactics you are using right now. You may not be focusing your marketing on the recommendations that your products need to have. You plan of action is sometimes not the only thing that is making your program works, don't forget that.

Start implementing product recommendation in your affiliate and Internet marketing mix and be among those few marketers who have proven that this strategy work. For more advanced promotion techniques click here.

AFFILIATE TIPS: How To Marketing Cell Phone Affiliate Programs

By By Luis Galarza, Affiliate Marketing Secrets Blog.

Let The Consumer Tell You How To Promote Cell Phone Affiliate Programs The Right Way!



When you trying to apply Internet marketing strategies to promote cell phone affiliate programs you need to know why people are buying or not buying cell phones online. Why most consumers or business professionals go online to find information and reviews about mobile phones but still ending purchasing the cellular in their local offline wireless retail store...

Here is what a online consumer said about why he didn't purchase his new cellular phone on the web:


"When i was looking to buy a cell phone online, the challenge I had was finding a site that showed cell phone's that you didn't have to buy the 2 year contract. I would have bought online if I could find a site that offered more options and compared services and plans. I'm sure its around in some way but i gave up in finding it."

There it is! You see, one of the main problems that regular consumers have when going online looking for information with their mind ready to buy a wireless phone from whoever haft the best information resource site, not the best price... and why most of the times they go back to their regular offline store.

Here are some affiliate marketing recommendations:

1.- Reviews
Provide a extensive review of each cell phone affiliate program you are promoting providing all features and benefits if someone buy from them.


2.- Offer Choices
Give people the power to decide by letting them compare merchants, cell phones, brands, plans, and more. This will give you a better opportunity to increase sales conversions.


3. They Don't Know This
Most cell phone buyers don't know that online merchants offer better deals than any local offline wireless store. Your job is to make sure they know this right away when they visit your site.


4. Call To Action
Well you got your visitors to your site, you provide them with the tools, and information they needed it to make the final decision on their new mobile phone purchase. So, now what? You don't want them to go back to their local store, don't you? So, you need to make sure you tell them where to get it and why to get it now!

By adding a simple call to action like "Get It Here Now" or "Buy This Cell Phone Now!" makes a big different to conversions... So, don't forget to close the sale!


Cell Phone Affiliate Program Marketing Mistake To Avoid

Don't use call to action link text like "Click For More Info", "Click Here", "Full Details", or anything like that... Why? because you already give them all the details they needed to know, the next step is for them to purchase the cellular phone, and done!

One of the best cell phone affiliate programs to join is TMIWireles.com, because their program have a complete resource of marketing or promotion tools that can help you build your online cellular phone business.

AFFILIATE TIP: Focus Maximum Affiliate Marketing Success

By Luis Galarza, Affiliate Marketing Secrets Blog.

Affiliate marketing number one mistake is the lack of business focus by the entrepreneur... most new online marketers when they find how easy is to start their own online based business from home promoting affiliate programs they go crazy signing up for every single affiliate program they find on their way, this made them loose all the focus and push their Internet business venture into the failure hole.

There are ways to market different associate programs (a minimum amount) and hit success, but when you just starting out and want to get those juicy checks you've seen the gurus promoting you need to focus on one program at a time...

It's true that experienced Internet affiliate marketers do have the ability to plan a marketing campaign for several products or programs, sometimes even promoting unrelated to their subject products, at the same time. They can do this is because they'd already learned and applied certain fundamental skills, and have developed a system for themselves which works to bring in sales with too much effort, but to get to that point you need to learn as much as you can about the up and down of your trend.

However, when you starting out in this business you need to learn what works and what doesn't. And to do this successfully you need to focus your Internet marketing efforts to a single product. By focusing on a single product your limit the risk of failure to a very low level, and you can discover the online business strategies that work a bit faster.

Just think for a moment if you were in a police officer. You're working on a new drug dealer case and need to determine its drug operations, members, suppliers and so on.

Would it be faster and easier for you to succeed this by working with just that one drug case, or by jumping through multiple other cases all at the same time...starting one investigation and then jumping over to another one midway through?

Ofcourse, it would be easier to work with just one drug case investigation, right?

Well, that's the approche you need to take when marketing affiliate programs. Just like the different points on your drug case investigation, you've also got different points in every product promotion you want to market online. The points include planning how to get web traffic, increasing conversion rates, advertising results tracking and so on.

So, how much data do you want towork with? Do you want to check tracking of, say, Google Adwords performance for ONE affiliate program...or for a dozen of them in more than one niche?

This is exaclty where a lot affiliate marketing beginners get themselves into problems. Because they try to track all of this information at once, get overwhelmed by it and then give up their dreams.
