The Next Step
So? You have your niche, you researched your keywords, now for the more difficult part where the hard work is going to be done. Decide what method you are going to use to start promoting your offer or product
Are you going to use a Web Site or Sales funnel:
There are many FREE website builders but remember, if you use one of them, you have absolutely minimal control over your site. They will also place ads on your site. In this article I am only going to show the best on which you have full control.
WordPress: A free website builder with many features and there are many courses online on how to build your website. The best information to build your website is to use wordpress.com/learn . WordPress is better installed when you do it through your selected host.
GroovePages: Groove replaces all your Affiliate marketing tools and online tools – well nearly all! Developed by Mike Filsaime’s team. It is a new program and is a funnel and website builder. There is a lifetime free version, GroovePagesLight, but it limits you to 3 websites. A very good start for the beginner or professional that wants to check it out. It also features an auto responder which is included in the pack so, you do not need an extra one. Some of the many page builders on the market today charges $100 per month but they are also difficult to learn where Groove is easy to use. Groovepageslight will also host your website for free for life! You can check it out here.
Without a website?
You can also promote your offer without a website by using the traffic methods below. To promote without a website, you will at least need a sales funnel to capture email addresses, or an affiliate link also called a hop link. Some of the Affiliate marketing tools discussed here might help you with that.
Traffic.
Good! You have your niche, your keywords, and your website or sales funnel. Now you have to send traffic, eyeballs, or clients to your offer. For most affiliates, this is the most difficult part.
Writing content.
Yes, I know. For many of us, this is not so easy but, have a look at the following:
Headline analizer: Your headline is everything when trying to grab your client’s attention. The headline determine if your content or ad will be clicked or not. Include keywords, positive and negative in your headline to attract your reader’s attention. When you use the sharethrough tool, it will give you suggestions on what to change.
Make your content reader friendly. An affiliate marketer does everything from creating visuals to analyzing competitors, creating videos and creating ads. Now fortunately there are tools to help. Hemmingway app is a nice tool to help with your content. It uses different colours for the suggestions. There is a free and paid version.
In your written article, you have to insert your keywords but, not too many. That is called keyword stuffing and the search engines do not like that.
Also, remember to hyperlink to all your offers within your article. Just remember when posting on social media, they do not allow raw affiliate links. You have to “cloak your link.”
For link cloaking, (disguising) and shortening, a good tool to use is https://bitly.com/ or if you have a WordPress website, you can use a plugin by the name of
Posting your content
