You’ve probably heard that traffic to your money making websites is important. Umm…duh? Anyone? Without visitors, your website is about as useful as Stanley Kubrick without eyes! No wait, he would probably still make awesome movies…somehow. Anyway, if you have a website in a specific niche, say, gardening. Let’s just pretend you’re into the gardening niche. It’s going to be easy for you to see that gardening is going to be linked to different things…types of soil, seeds, care and maintenance of the garden…the garden has to have these things. And everybody knows that the garden has to have these things. So how do you, the website owner, get people to come to your website? Give them the answers to their questions. How do you know what their questions are? You find out. How do you find out?? By searching around online, going to forums, going to various places on the web, taking an honest look at what people’s needs are, and how you can meet them. What are their questions, and how can you answer them? The more honestly you look at their needs and questions, and how to solve their problems, the quicker you will be able to solve them. The quicker you solve them, the more money you will make online. Simply put, affiliate marketing is the art of solving people’s problems without creating a product. Maybe you will create some kind of small product…something to start with. But it’s also going to be part of your business plan to sell them some kind of smaller products also. If you can do this well, you have it made in this business. If you can’t, you will soon find out that there is no replacement. There is simply no substitute for cold, hard, truth.
The cold hard truth is not supposed to be painful. But it frequently is. So it’s better to try to “break the news” to people gently. What I mean by this is, the sooner you get them to realize that they are much closer to solving their problem than they think, and that you can help them, the sooner they will trust and want to listen to you. The downside is, you have to actually deliver on these promises, which can be difficult! No…not easy! Some people suck at doing research. I personally like it, so I am good at it. If you don’t like to do research, then you probably want to outsource it somehow. Getting information for people can be tough. But it’s very important.
Now that you have the information, the next step is getting keywords. Finding what people want, then giving them keywords, the whole process is like…leading them to water. You have to do it carefully. Getting the right keywords which people are searching for, and then providing them with high-quality information as well as affiliate product recommendations. This is what does, in fact, lead to sales.
