Although anyone can start an affiliate marketing business, not everyone can achieve success in affiliate marketing. There are so many reasons for this, but the main reason is that the new affiliates do not know basic knowledge of affiliate marketing. Here are the 7 mistakes which often done by affiliates. Avoid those mistakes and be a super affiliate.
- Not having a plan:- It is most important thing in affiliate marketing business. You must have a plan. If you haven’t a plan, then you are making a plan to fail.
- Not willing to learn:- Every year a lot of students go to B-schools because they want to learn about business. Affiliate marketing is a different type of business. It is a online business and you should learn about it. You should read ebooks, online manuals, tutorials, blogs and other things those related to affiliate marketing.
- Do nothing with knowledge:- Only knowledge is not power. Knowledge is power when you do something with knowledge. New affiliates are sick for buying products like ‘secrets’, ‘tips’ etc. They buy ebooks and read those with great interest, and after that do nothing. They do not use a single ‘step’ or ‘tip’ in their affiliate business.
- Thinking for sell not for pre-sell:- People do not use internet for buying your products, they use internet for searching information. You need to give good information and build trust with them. Affiliate marketing is more about building trust with an audience. Think about pre-sell instead of sell.
- Talking about product, not program:- Some affiliate write articles with full information of their product, but it’s not work. You need to write information rich articles of a program and the end of articles tell them that you have a good product for this program. Don’t try to sell directly.
- Promoting wrong products:- Some affiliate programs offer extremely high sale commission to their affiliates. But the products are not sellable and thus earning nothing.
- Do not work hard:- Normally affiliate marketing is no investment business. So affiliates do not work hard because they have nothing to lose. They do not take their business seriously.
