You are not making money with affiliate programs… do u know why?

I have read a lot of articles on this subject and I want to share some ideas with you… there are basically 10 reasons You are not making with affiliate programs…

1. Choosing the wrong affiliate

You really need to choose the right one. It doesn’t make any sense to add amazon to a website about cars or one about dogs. Try to identify what your target audience is and deliver good articles regularly.

2. Joining too many affiliate programs

More doesn’t mean better or more profitable. Too many ads are a good deterrent and make readers hate your website. Reduce the number of ads whenever possible. I did the same some time ago and now it’s much better.

3. Not buying/using the product/service you’re advertising

This one is very self-explanatory. If you don’t like what your ads include, why should other people like it? Right?

4. Not writing your own ad copy

You should try to personalize ads whenever possible. Make your site unique and stan out. Don’t follow other websites, make them follow you.

5. Choosing low paying commissions

Remember that your objective is . Choose a 30% commision instead of a 10% whenever possible.

6. Not having your own domain name

that’s a serious mistake. You domain name is a part of your identity. Make it personal and promote it.

7. Failure to communicate with the merchant

That’s self-explanatory. Try to communicate in the best possible way. Otherwise you will lose important deals.

    I have had bad experiences with Amazon… Adsense is ok, but not very profitable… text links have been perfect so far… affiliate marketing is not very effective… at least that’s my experience…
