The big secret to successful affiliate marketing is "hard work". However there are a few tips, if kept in mind, could help a new affiliate make a smooth entry into the world of marketing. These tips will also save a lot of time and money in the process.
1. Be well versed with the topic. The most frequent question asked by beginners is the topic that they should start with. It could be any area of interest to the affiliate, which he is well informed about. Since the affiliate has interest in the topic he can add his own personal touch to the site. It may be noted that the subject selected might not be the one generating the highest commissions or the one with the best management program, but it would still be worthwhile since the affiliate would be very enthusiastic to write about a topic that he is interested in.
2. DO not overload your site with banners. The website should be well formatted hosting a few simple banners. Overload of banners is annoying to the readers and also makes the site look ugly.
3. Best merchant concept does not exist. There is nothing like best merchant program. Some people can succeed with a merchant where others have failed. For the first timers, it is best they select a merchant that they know. In case of small sites, it would be easy to swap out all the links if the chosen merchant doesn't work out.
4. Use multiple merchants. The affiliate must select a merchant based on what he likes. In fact he can select 2-3 merchants for the same site. This gives the visitors of his site a variety of destinations to choose from.
5. Content sites. Sometimes affiliates create content sites. These sites contain details and information about the products they are promoting. It is easier to promote a product if all the information is known to the affiliate or is provided by the merchants.
6. Be aware of parasites and there effects. Applications such as Parasites, parasite ware, scum ware, etc can overwrite, redirect or intercept the visitors in the affiliate's site. They can thus change the affiliate's visitor into their visitor and waive off a large share off their commission.
7. Creating the first site. The affiliate should have some knowledge of HTML and the use of some graphic software. It would help in adding a unique touch to the site. However there are many professionals also available to help them design their site.
After the first site is ready, and the affiliate has learnt all details necessary to create a site, he should move ahead to create a new one. Leave the new one to keep making money. However keep making adjustments and updates to it.
