Affiliate Marketing tips, tools, guides, articles and tutorials
|
Being successful in affiliate marketing isn't as easy as
rolling out of bed, regardless of what any company says. It's not just a case
of reading a few tips putting up some links and banners and waiting for the money to roll in.
Whether an affiliate or merchant, it takes effort, passion and commitment to
make the most from revenue share programs.. We
know, we've been there.
Even if you do your marketing correctly, your site does
generate a lot of traffic and you refer thousands of visitors to your
merchants, there are many traps and pitfalls that can see you losing your
commissions.
I first started dabbling in affiliate marketing in 1996/7,
but it wasn't until 2001 that I finally learned what it takes to
actually see decent financial return for the effort expended. It wasn't so
much about working harder, just working smarter. After having achieved decent
success as an affiliate, I then went on to work as an Affiliate Manager - to
approach affiliate marketing from the other end of the equation was a very
interesting experience.
I hope you find these tips, articles, guides, tools and tutorials
of benefit to you in your affiliate marketing efforts. This archives contains
information for both affiliates and merchants. Good luck!
