7 Keys Features To Affiliate Business Success

Affiliate business can be highly profitable if it is properly done. most of the new affiliates think that they can make significant income without any hard work or investement.
I’m against the claim that you can make good affiliate income for free because in my knowledge it’s simply not true. you can make some small commissions but you will reach a point when you will stuck and stagnate.
Affiliate business have to be treated like any other business. you can not open a restaurant without investing money and buying the tables and chairs if you see what I mean.

Everyone telling you the opposite is a liar and everyone trying to sell you a product which make you quick money fast is a scammer! never believe this kind of claims.
Now to help you with this, here are 7 tips to head your affiliate business in the right direction.

1. Build your affiliate business foundation:

According to my experience the first thing and the most important to do is building a presence on the internet. to do this you have to build your own website in which you can publish articles and reviews of the products you are promoting.

• Choose a fast web hosting company and use WordPress to build your website. you can found tonnes of free tutorials on how to do this on youtube.
• Choose a niche you like and write 15 100% original articles or more and publish them. if you are not a good writer you can hire someone to do it for you on hirewriter, Fiverr or seoclerck.
• Don’t embed any link in your blog posts.
• Don’t use copyrighted images.
• Create the legal pages and publish them! (you can copy mine and do the necessary changes)
• Send a request to join Google Adsense to monetize your new website!
• You should be accepted if you do the above steps correctly.

2. Find High Converting Product to Promote:

First of all you have do a keyword research to be sure there is a good demand for the product you want to promote without too much competition.

I suggest promoting products which have recurring payment because most of this kind of products are maintained and are realiable businesses offering real solutions to their consumers.
Also this will help you build a passive stream of income for your self!

Offering some type of bonus that is relevant to a product you promote is a good way to set your affiliate business apart from any other affiliate.
You may also add some value and valuable tips to your review that will help the purchaser get more knowledge about the product.
All you have to do is write a review discussing the things you like about the product and the benefits that the customers that the customers will get after the purchase.
Don’t forget to add your affiliate link and a short call to action explaining how they will get your bonus when they purchase through your link.

Most of the time you don’t have to write these emails because most of the good affiliate products provide a serie of emails already written on their JV pages making this an easy method to add to your autoresponder.

So driving traffic is the most difficult and important part for the success of an affiliate business.
Most affiliate fail on driving traffic to their business because they don’t persist long enough to see results and they don’t follow a plan of action.
A good idea is to combine free and paid traffic methods which will combine to become effective as a whole.
For me and according to my experience, the best free source of traffic are the search engine optimized blog posts, Youtube and Pinterest. you can learn SEO and create a youtube channel and add your affiliate links on the description. For pinterest you can use Canva.com to create your pins for free and use Tailwind to boost the reach of your pins.
Regarding the paid source of traffic my advice is to run ads only on google ads and youtube ads and I don’t recommend the facebook ads for me it was a waste of money. you can also use soloads if you have enough money! you can check Trafficforme which is a good platform providing soloads in different niches.

7. Copy Successful Affiliate Business:
