What Affiliate Marketing Mentors to Follow, and Why?
Affiliate marketing has been in the Internet industry for quite
sometime now and it is among the most popular tools used by many
online entrepreneurs today. It is a great option for those who
want to put up an online business quickly and cheaply. However,
there is still a large number of the population who knows a
little or even nothing about it. And most of the people who have
just discovered this business usually assume that they can
easily make big bucks out of it. Well, they're definitely wrong.
To be successful in affiliate marketing business is not an easy
task and it will never happen overnight. It's just like an
ongoing assignment where you need to find out and try various
advertising strategies and tactics. This may even require you to
sign-up with numerous affiliate programs just to determine which
merchants performs well.
Another misconception that affiliates have 'bout this kind of
business is that they expect to gain more if they place about 20
affiliated banners on just one niche. Well it will not really
work the way you think it would because once your site is
flooded with too many banners, it will look like a link farm and
visitors won't be interested and won't even bother clicking on
any of those banners. So if you really want to promote several
affiliate programs in your website, make sure that they jive
with the theme and topic of the rest of the content on your
niche. Bear in mind that three or four affiliated links in your
site are enough, depending on the size of the web page.
There are also some who think that if they add affiliate
materials to their site, they can receive sales right away.
Maybe they just don't know that affiliate marketing is all about
advertising. If there's no traffic coming to your site, how can
you expect to get any sales? Remember that the more you
advertise your affiliate link or the site where the affiliate
links are placed, the more clickthru's these links are likely to
receive.
If you want to be involved or you've already joined an affiliate
program, but you have the above misconceptions regarding
affiliate marketing, then, you might need a mentor to help you
figure out where to start and what to do in order to succeed.
In the dictionary, the word mentor is defined as a wise and
trusted teacher or counselor. Usually, these persons are experts
in the field they are into. They can give expert advice and
guidance as well as supervision to another person. So when we
say affiliate marketing mentors, they are experienced counselors
that have made affiliate marketing their specialty. Affiliate
marketing mentors can be those persons that have already been
successful in affiliate marketing and are always willing to
share their experienced-based knowledge from the viewpoint of
both the affiliates and the web
merchants. And that's the reason
why we come up with this page. It is aimed to give you the
stuffs that affiliate mentors should possess and follow and why
do they need these things.
Of course, it is good for an affiliate marketing mentor to know
and apply some theories and generalities regarding your business
but there's nothing more helpful and effective than telling the
client what works today and what are the things that could
probably work in the future and if the trend changes. As a
mentor, you should be one of the sources of knowledge for your
client and the first one to teach them on how to generate more
affiliate income. You too, need to be knowledgeable and equipped
with the keys to success for affiliate marketers as well as for
merchants. And you should guide your clients as they try to do
the things that can help boost their profit because once they do
well in that business, it can be counted as one of your great
achievements. This also makes you a successful mentor.
There are some articles on affiliate marketing that says, in
order to be triumphant in affiliate marketing business, you need
to encompass and develop these traits: persistence, patience and
thirst for knowledge. And as a mentor, it is your job to help
your clients take in these traits within themselves. Once
they've already developed the abovementioned character, it'll be
very easy for you to explain to them that attaining success in
affiliate marketing requires sweat, blood and of course, hefty
time commitment. These traits will also teach them not to give
up.
Moreover, before you train your client to be proficient in
search engine optimization, link exchanges, email marketing,
newsletter marketing, reciprocal exchanges and advertising in
forums, you should first become expert on these fields. They
will surely find it hard to learn these things alone and without
supervision from the one who knows best. So make sure that you
are knowledgeable on these things before you accept any
invitation to be a mentor. Yes, being a mentor is way harder
than succeeding in affiliate marketing but this task is very
rewarding especially if your client become victorious. The
failure of your client is your failure too so you must do your
very best to be able to bring your client on the road to
success. Again, it is never an easy task and there's nothing you
can do about it. After all, that's what affiliate marketing
mentors are for.
