Why Writing Reviews Is Not Recommended For Affiliate Marketers

I own and operate mygatenow.com where i write reviews on internet marketing products i have made significant amount of money while just writing reviews only, you can try this strategy but what i have learned after running a review blog for 2 years is that when you run this kind of blog at some point of time you will feel hard to push your profits.

And here is why...

Too Much Competition:  To get things work you have to create an indepth review of some product of your choice and after writing your review you have to place your affiliate buttons at the end which will bring sales to your affiliate websites.

But problem with this strategy is that you have to rank it up for respective keywords like if you are selling a chair you have to rank it up for chair review.

Yeah! reviews convert well, but you are not the one affiliate out their there are many others like you that are doing the same sort of things which you are doing and when you succeed in ranking your review and go on to something else,

Then the your previous reviews started loosing their rankings due to other affiliates outranking your spot and you have to work back again to get your first spot again and when you focus back on that article other articles starts to lose rank, so when you keep adding your review it becomes much hard to keep ranking for all of them.

so at the end you just end up maintaining your spot.

No Audience Building: While writing review you are not building a business a successful business must grow with time but what happening over here is that you are just sticking to your place there is no growth, no stable income.

So what's the right way of doing affiliate marketing?
 Overall first you need to decided what's you going to sell and make sure it's a quality product because that will affect your future sales.

After that you have 

Leverage Email marketing:  Email marketing accounts major affiliate sales not just for me for anyone on the internet you will heard this phase numerous times "Money is in the List" it's true in every aspect when you build a list you are not just selling but you are building a list of buyer which will eventually grow with time the bigger and better you have the more affiliate sales you can make.

Killer Methods To Promote Your Amazon Affiliate Products

No, matter how much affiliate programs you might try amazon has the best conversion of them all even if with their short commission percentage but good conversions make up the mark.

No, wonder amazon affiliate program is the best one out their but selling their stuffs is really hard things you can try out today i am going to teach you how you should promote your amazon products and things that actually works.

Things That Doesn't Worked

---

Banners And Widgets : Before i went on promoting amazon i was like a sheep in a big city i don't know where to start on and what sort of things should i target, basically i started off with creating a blog writing of articles on specific topic at that time i was writing about computers tips and tricks,

When i put amazon banners after one month of running nothing much conversion happened at my affiliate account that was bit sad though as i replaced other ads in place of amazon to get them maximum exposure.

What i learned was people weren't actually in the mode of buying when they come to my website they were looking for tricks and not computer or even their accessories.

So it was like selling umbrella in a sunny day to get that conversion you want those visitors who are looking for products that you are selling.

PPC ADS( Risky Move) : From wondering like an idiot someone on an internet marketing forum suggest me trying ppc ads while doing some internet marketing research i found that i won't able to promote affiliate products directly google doesn't allow it.

But i didn't lose hope instead of promoting it directly i used a landing page so instead of visitors going directly to the product page they going to land into my website where i put some specification about that product at the end of it i put my affiliate links.

I do got some sales doing it but at the end i losses more then i actually earned ppc ads campaign took too much profit out of my pocked l left ppc after burning 200$ which i have arranged by selling my old gaming consoles.

But, i don't think this strategy doesn't work but you have to work on right keywords and keep experimenting with your ad variation and bids until you get that right set of keywords and ad titles that surpass the amount you are investing but that requires you to burned some dollars at the beginning.


PPC ads are oldest method of affiliate marketing and you will find good number advance affiliate marketers earning good figures using this method but currently adword doesn’t allow affiliates but this doesn’t end of the road you can try the same business model on the second most visited search engine bing.com but make sure you do your homework some online courses like info cash 2 by ppc expert chris carpenter can save you from doing lot of expensive mistakes.
                                                       

Things That Actually Work

---

Writing Reviews: Most amount of money which i have made as a beginner is by writing reviews of products if you are good at writing you can make upto 3% conversion (out of hundred visitor you send to vendor's page it's a great chance that 3 will end up buying ) while my first conversion wasn't from amazon but i found this work even on amazon as well infact i am getting much larger conversion with amazon because people trust this brand blindly.

So they don't think about basic stuffs like is it safe to use credit card, or do i get returns which makes my conversion rate higher on amazon.

Why reviews convert so well?

Reviews are something which people search while they are ready to buy something but are looking for some final testimonial so these traffic have their credit card ready to make their purchase and if you help them with their buying decision with your in depth review they end up buying with your affiliate link.

You can target some buying keywords such as

"xbox 360 review"
"xbox 360 customer review"
"xbox 360 testimonials"
