Free ways to promote affiliate links. Affiliate promotion

One of the main questions after creating the site, how can I make money on it? If you do not have your own product or you want to have additional income from advertising, then affiliate programs will be appropriate here. But what should be an affiliate program for webmasters? Where to find partners and how to choose the right strategies in order to get your profit? Let's sort out the details!

The main rule that needs to be remembered is to take into account the topic of the article where ads will be shown, or the whole topic of the site in order to select thematic affiliate programs.

For example, if a user, when visiting a site about culinary tips, sees an advertisement about selling car parts, he, at least, will not pay attention to it, but for you this will be practically no income. In the worst case, the user may find it inappropriate advertising and generally leave the site.

What will be, if on your resource devoted to the subject of learning languages, there will be an advertisement of the school of English? Of course, this will be a topic consonant with the interests of your audience, and your chances of viewing advertisements will increase dramatically, and, consequently, income from affiliate programs will also increase.

Affiliate programs I divide into 3 types:

1. Shops, goods, CPA networks
2. Services and facilities
3. Training and infobusiness

Affiliate stores or products

AliExpress - The most popular online store. There is a huge amount of goods here, which means that the field of activity is almost unlimited! For example, on your culinary website you can recommend appliances and utensils. At the end of the article about a delicious kebab recipe, place an ad for a portable barbecue grill.

How much does AliExpress pay?

If you connect to the AliExpress affiliate program, the amount of your remuneration will leave 8.5% of the amount of the paid order. You can connect to ePN site

ePN is an official AliExpress agent. This site has all the tools to work with AliExpress. Also, you yourself can return a percentage from the purchase if you purchase on AliExpress. To do this, you need to register at ePN Cashback.

How does affiliate work?

According to information from cookies, the number of your referrals will turn into your income. Even if a person, having followed your link, did not make an order, but then he returned, after a few days or weeks, he is still considered your referral, and paying for it in this online store will bring you a profit.

What is CPA? CPA is a pay-per-action affiliate program. It may be:

• Payment of goods
• Approval of the application (for example, in the online bank)
• Registration on the site or the game
• And maybe something else))

What is a CPA network? This is an intermediary site with a catalog of affiliate programs that unites the Seller, who has the product, and you, the Webmaster, who leads traffic and leads.

Popular CPA Networks

KMA.biz   - Many webmasters are familiar. It is great for sites with a female theme, there are many different products.

Admitad.com is a more extensive network. There are already not only physical goods, but also virtual ones, which means the Admitad is suitable for more different topics of the site.

1. Online stores
2. Online Games
3. Mobile Offers
4. Internet services
5. Financial offers
6. Tourism, travel
7. For adults

There is even a plugin Admitad goods, which will simplify the work with affiliate programs on the WordPress site. More about him

Of course, if the subject allows, you can advertise and large stores, for example Mvideo (with each order income up to 4%), Wildberries (here earnings depend on the category of goods, but with the paid order you can get up to 10% of its value), and others. For example, in the seasonal review of fashion trends, you can use the advertising of new products from popular brands that are sold in Bonprix or Lamoda sites.

Affiliate programs services and services

Now on the Internet there are sooo many services and services that can be advertised. And smart service owners must make an affiliate program and pay up to 90% of their earnings.

Why give so much you ask? The answer is simple, most electronic products do not have cost (manufacturing costs), so it’s not a pity to give so much for the attracted customer.

Examples of services

Hosting

I advertise Timeweb, and this recommendation directly corresponds to the subject of my site. Earnings on it will be from 20% to 40%, depending on which hosting person chooses. If your topic is not related to IT, you can simply indicate in the basement of the site “The site works on Timeweb hosting” and that's it. To whom it is necessary, that will follow the link.

Chat or callback widget

Now it is very convenient to put such a widget on the site, the conversion in the bid rises by at least 10%.

Service JivoSite. Every time when your referral pays a license, you get from 25% to 35% of the payment.

Email service

MailerLite.com. If you plan to offer a newsletter to visitors, use this idea and advertise a convenient and modern MailerLite mailing service.

Services for travel sites

The most popular affiliate program is to buy tickets and book hotels. Place a travel agency banner or a hotel search form in an article or sidebar, and your visitors will appreciate it, and referrals will express their gratitude in monetary terms.

Popular network for travel monetization is a site. travelpayouts.com.

It combines popular sites:

1. Aviasales
2. Booking.com
3. Hotellook
4. Airbnb
5. Rentalcars.com

For example, you can make the module aviasales.ru and install it for independent search of cheap air tickets directly on your website, and you can earn from ticket sales from ticket sales 2.2%. Consider seasonality when choosing such a program, the relevance of the direction to your target audience, the proximity of holiday dates and vacation periods.

Templates, graphics, video, audio

For example the site market.envato.comwhich includes the following sections:

1. Themeforest.net - site templates
2. Codecanyon.net - plugins and codes
3. Videohive.net - video and video effects
4. Audiojungle.net - music and audio
5. Graphicriver.net - backgrounds, logos, icons
6. Photodune.net - photos
7. 3docean.net - 3D elements

Under each you can start a separate blog and advertise)) I often recommend templates for wordpress from the site Themeforest.net

Everywhere the percentage of partnership is different, but as an example, I am charged $ 13 \u003d 780 rubles from the sale of one template through my link.

Training and infobusiness

Any person who aspires to something in any sphere, searches for information and collects it from various sources. In modern society, recommendations mean even more than advertising. After all, in essence, the recommendation is advertising, but, as they say, with a soul. That is, already from the person to whom the person trusts, he learns about the product or object that interests him, something good. Advertise learning or courses and receive thanks and cash rewards.

Partner English language training

Puzzle-english.com   - I learn English on this site and recommend it to everyone.

Skyeng.ru - and now the school of English, where you have a mentor and you personally learn 1-on-1 from him via Skype.

Affiliate programs professions (freelancing and not only)

There are many websites that teach various professions, such as programming, photography, design, advertising, etc.

As an example site Geekbrains   - a learning portal for programmers. Recommend courses and earn 1000 p. with each sale of the course.

Courses (infobusiness)

I often recommend the courses of Evgeny Popov. If you came to my site in search of answers to your questions, and they relate to the creation, promotion of the site, earnings on the site - you also need here. It will be useful. The achievements of this person in many ways will tell you the right ways, will help to become a professional in this field, because among his courses (free and paid) you will certainly find something useful for yourself.

By the way, this affiliate program is an example of multi-level, where you get 30-45% not only from each referral involved, but also 5% from the orders of those your referral will attract, and so on up to the fourth level.

How to advertise affiliate program?

You can either devote an article to a specific affiliate program, for example, “Overview of the MailerLite email newsletter service”, the whole article you tell about this service and everywhere you put an affiliate link. Again, within the meaning of several times in the text, and not for every word MailerLite.

The second option is to make a small digression and recommend something. For example, your article is called “How to cook delicious borscht” and somewhere in the article you digress “By the way, for the first time you used a new set of knives for this recipe that you ordered here (and a link to the AliExpress store for example)” + you can praise them a little or give some assessment and continue to talk about soup.

What to do next?

1. Make a list of affiliate programs that you want to advertise on your site
2. Explore the good sites of your competitors, see what they advertise
3. Sign up for them and write down affiliate links so you can use them quickly.
4. Study the admin area of \u200b\u200byour personal account (where to get the link, how to view statistics and withdraw money)
5. If this is a CPA network, look at what products are there, select the most relevant ones.
6. When writing new articles, use the links that you have kept for yourself.
7. You can also edit old posts and put links. After all, they also come to your site visitors

You can also be helped by a catalog of affiliate programs that I use. You can see it here.

Good day everyone!

In the last affiliate article article I wrote about,.

Let's talk about how to promote affiliate   . It's about the main ways.

There are free and paid methods to promote affiliate links on the Internet.

As for free methods.

At the same time, an affiliate link of a free product is promoted in the main social networks: twitter, facebook, Vkontakte. It is necessary to promote products to the target audience, that is, people interested in this topic.

In this case, you should register and organize communication in forums on relevant topics, and in the signature on the forum put an affiliate link to the product of the author of the affiliate or on his blog, in which this link is available in articles.

4. Feature articles on your blog with embedded affiliate links are excellent assistants in sales of partner products. You can also install affiliate banners that address the affiliate product’s free product.

5. Viral marketing is a great way. You can, for example, insert affiliate links into the affiliate book's free book and distribute it on various Internet resources. People will download books, get acquainted with their content and get into the newsletter of the author of the affiliate program - the financial result will not be slow!

The meaning is as follows. You create an advertising campaign and direct visitors to the subscription page of the author of the affiliate program. Visitors are offered a free information product in exchange for a subscription, and then, as part of their newsletter, the owner of the affiliate program offers a paid product. When you buy a partner charged commission.

However, it is more expedient for a partner to create his free information product and newsletter (to organize his subscription base), organize a subscription to his free information product, and already as part of his newsletter and his blog, as well as in other ways, advertise the partner link of the information product author.
  On this account there is an excellent free info product by Dmitry Pecherkin, which I wrote about in the article.

2. Advertising in teaser networks.
In this case, you need to create a teaser (a kind of advertising banner consisting of a small image and a text block), embed an affiliate link into it, run an advertising campaign, and the teaser with an affiliate link will be displayed on many sites that participate in the teaser network.

3. Banner advertising.
  When using this method, you need to create a banner with an embedded affiliate link to the author’s free product and place it on a paid basis on third-party well-visited Internet resources. When you click on the affiliate link, the visitor signs up (if you wish, of course), gets into the newsletter, and then he becomes a paid commercial offer.

4.Advertising in someone else's mailings.
  In this case, in the mailing list, for example, the smartresponder.ru service, you should pick up thematic mailings and agree with the author for a fee on sending an advertising letter on its basis with an embedded affiliate link to the affiliate program’s free product. Here, everything is similar to the previous point - a potential client follows the link in the letter, subscribes to the free course of the author of the affiliate program, and in the future, perhaps, buys his paid products.

Welcome, readers of my blog! Today, there are many ways to make money online. Now I will not list all sorts of ways to make money through the Internet. Today I want to stop on affiliate programs. First, let's look at what affiliate program is.

Partnership programs   - It is a form of business cooperation between the seller and partners when selling a product or providing services.

My first earned money on the Internet was through partnership programs. Below you can see screenshots of my affiliate payouts. It was a long time ago, already in 2010))).

I do not remember exactly, but in my opinion I invested there more than earned)). But the experience appeared. I promoted affiliate programs exclusively through contextual advertising in Yandex Direct. I remember I purchased a course on contextual advertising, (the course was not very good, at least not for beginners, that's for sure, although it said the opposite), but oh well.

Then I was an absolute newcomer and did not know what else there is ways to promote   affiliate, gradually I began to go out on other ways, such as teaser ads, banners ... But, they were all paid.

And in the end   from lack of knowledge I abandoned this type of income, deciding that it is very expensive for me. I thought that to make money on affiliate programs, (to earn well) you have to invest a lot of money first, but I just didn’t have it at that time.

But time passes and everything changes. Now my business is online will let me   I also earn extra money on affiliate programs, which is absolutely free and almost without my participation. Agree nice   go to your email inbox and see a letter that you made a sale.

I will be happy to share with you the methods that I use, and which allow you to make affiliate sales on autopilot.

1. Blog.   Do not be lazy, and create a tab on your blog: “I recommend”. If your blog visitors trust you, you are interested in writing, sharing useful content, people will purchase products on your recommendation.

Only share those affiliate programs in which you are completely confident, and even better, that you yourself would study them. And of course affiliate programs should be close to your blog topic.

2. Banners for the blog.   Just a good option, but do not overdo it. It is not necessary to do from your blog selling the store of various courses.

3. Article on the blog. You write an article and so by the way, unobtrusively offer to purchase an affiliate product.

4. Comments on other people's blogs.   Find a blog on the topic of your affiliate program, write an interesting detailed comment. Naturally the comment should be correctly written and divided into paragraphs. In the field site. You put your affiliate link.

6. Verification page.   After a person has subscribed to your newsletter, it is immediately recommended to send him to the page where he is shown how to confirm the subscription. So on this page you can also place affiliate program.

Hello! On the air of Antay today let us briefly consider the phenomenon of promotion of partner products on the Internet through the system promotion of partner links for free, as well as in paid back mode.

Promotion of partner products: highlights

Since the advent of the Internet, the coverage of almost all spheres of life, as well as the natural stratification of business processes, the approach to systematic marketing of products has changed. It was given at the mercy of traffic arbitrazhniki or just partners, and even the identity of the partner in many cases has no systemic value. You can earn a good commission through a partnership with one or another advertiser and at the same time not have any obligations to him (except for providing only the type of traffic that he allows). They wanted and stopped pouring at him, found someone else. For the safe operation of both parties, various aggregators of affiliate programs are used which play the role of an intermediary and follow the mutual interests of the parties while receiving a certain%. And the whole system looks very impressive. Let's look at the main points of a successful promotion:

1. Usually when advertising various affiliate products, it is better to choose only the best-quality ones (although there are gray schemes and they are also very profitable, but I did not work with them).
2. At the initial stage, it is better to take those types of goods / products that you are interested in yourself.
3. In promoting products, try to gently inform the target audience about useful value, and not to sell. The sales funnels work well (when at first customers are offered something free - there is a series of letters with useful information - only then follows the offer of a paid expansion of information).
4. Strategy where the winners are all the most profitable (in the long term) for the partner strategy.
5. Internet marketing, Internet advertising, traffic arbitrage is a constant self-development - it’s always worth remembering. There can be no stops. But the movement should always go with joy and profitability.
6. Treat affiliate marketing products as if you created and sold them yourself.

The choice of a particular affiliate program will largely depend on the site where you will advertise it. But in any case, it is worth paying attention to the reliability of the CPA. More about them here.

Affiliate Promotion Strategies

As already discussed, there are classic paid and relatively free ways to advertise affiliate products.

Among the shareware strategies include:

• In the shareware version there are many options, but I basically used only advertising accounts and head-on advertising. It is also worth noting that various free options work on social networks (they do not require users to pay for the initial action). System work here will require targeting of the audience, proxies and multi-accounts, as well as various ways to create the right redirects that social networks will miss. Also, an excellent option for monetization through affiliate programs will be to create their own publics and after the basic promotion (gathering at their own audience) by submitting their advertising materials to them. You can also use relatively hidden advertising through comments.
•   - a great way to monetize undervalued by a mass audience. You can shoot yourself (both in the screen and in the form of a screencast), you can also use the editor of Youtube itself to create unique video content.
• Advertising in their educational books and video courses;
• Advertising on their sites (including those specifically made for affiliate marketing);

You can also note such specific methods in the promotion of affiliate links as:

• Communities google + and subscribe (this is a separate direction);
• Specific commenting on blogs. Here it is understood that the link is inserted not directly into the comment, but into the name of the account. Comments in this case should be left only on the most recent posts. For a certain automation, you can use various rss feed annunciators (for example, 1pir.ru/rssfast).
• Commenting on the forums. The link is again inserted not directly into the posts, but in the signatures to their posts. This is a more long-term project, since topics do not go to the archive and can be constantly viewed many times by a large number of people.

I don’t consider Avito (and other bulletin boards) in this case, since promotion of affiliate links in them is prohibited (but not all). On this area by me.

Promotion of partner products in the paid version:

1. Contextual advertising. We are talking about attracting targeted traffic through Yandex Direct and Google Advords. In more detail about them I conduct separate section with which
2. Teaser networks. Specific advertising platforms suitable for info-products, various wow goods, accessories, goods of an adult theme.
3. Subject email marketing. The fastest way to attract traffic and still remains one of the most profitable. There are several types of email marketing. White through the authors of mailings that suit you, an independent set of the subscription base of the site and further monetization of subscribers, you can also call the purchase of subscription bases and spam sending through specific software (this method exists and is profitable, but I cannot recommend it).

Other specific types of paid promotion include:

1. Banner advertising. It is desirable to use automation services such as banner-bro to find a suitable target site-site - with the placement of your banner. In this case, you can take banner places in automatic mode and at a certain time for the test.
2. Targeted advertising on social media. Specific advertising platform. I used this method to the least extent, as I had enough of free promotion in social networks. At the same time, this is a separate area in SMM, which, also with a systematic budget, will bring profit without preparation for consumables. Where, after a period of tests, fixed assets are invested in the best bundle, which more than pays back previous costs.

Summary

Thus, the promotion of partner products with a systematic approach and continuous development is not something difficult. Play and win. Become a master in this game. This is not a random lottery, but a natural pattern, based on the circulation of the systemic needs of a person and people in general in receiving material benefits. Who understands this direction will not have material problems for Life.!

And at the initial stage of the partnership business this is justified. But the presence of your site greatly increases the impact. In addition, without a site it is impossible to use the partner’s powerful “weapon” - its own newsletter. These two methods will be considered at the beginning.

1. Site   - the presence of your site represents the widest range of opportunities for promoting affiliate programs, on any subject. Of course, it will take time for the site to “grow over” with useful materials and begin to generate targeted traffic - to fulfill its main purpose.

The process is not fast, so take care to create the site preferably at the initial stage. Using your site you can write countless reviews of affiliate products. You can advertise them directly by placing banners or links in special blocks.

There will be an opportunity to notify visitors to the site about partner promotions, to organize attractive competitions. The experience gained will tell you more cunning moves and solutions. But most importantly, on the site you will be able to recruit your own base of subscribers - potential buyers.

2. Newsletter   - A powerful tool for advertising and selling affiliate products. This method implies variability. You can use paid advertising in other ezines. Or participate in the actions of mutual circular PR with the authors of other, thematically close, mailings.

But the most productive of all is to conduct your own newsletter, systematically increasing the subscription base, while simultaneously working in other areas.

Active owners of affiliate programs themselves will notify you by mail of the release of new partner products, provide promotional materials, including - Ready letters for subscribers. You will need to send them to your subscription base.

Naturally, the more your subscription list, the more sales will be. And, of course, this method is also extended over time. But the earnings in the affiliate program will steadily grow - set a goal for yourself: create your own website and newsletter.

3. Social networks   - are used, both for promotion of your site, and for promotion of affiliate links. And here there are two options. Paid advertising in thematic groups, and you can create your own group. The second option is free.

Get accounts in popular social networks. Post messages about promoted products with your referral link. There you can also place links to landing pages of your own site. The main task will be to increase the base of future customers and partners.

However, this can be done quickly: 1000+ people per month. I share an advanced service for the promotion of any business on the Internet. Here you can quickly recruit target subscribers and friends on the Vkontakte network. I emphasize: not bots, but “living” real people. I do it on the machine, but for starters, you can do it at a free rate (see the video instructions in your account):

4. YouTube   - A great way to get regular traffic. Each clip that you post on YouTube must be equipped with a description containing the affiliate link. Some partners provide videos as promotional materials.

Alternatively, you can take videos yourself from affiliate landing pages - landing pages, and post them on YouTube, not forgetting to provide descriptions with affiliate links. Some craftsmen to promote affiliate programs "borrow" other people's videos, but it is better to learn how to make your own. The main thing - you get free traffic on a long term basis.

5. - an effective way to promote affiliate, and for one thing - your site and name (brand). He is able to bear fruit for a long time with a cumulative total. Basically - these are books. But there may be mini-courses from several video lessons, videos on YouTube advertising your site, or other tricky ideas.

Users and readers themselves will distribute "viral" products. The effect of them will increase exponentially, but on condition that they carry useful information. Direct advertising of people is alarming, and the “natural” recommendations packaged in the book cause much more confidence.

It is easy to place affiliate links in the book, to advertise your website or subscription pages. By the way, the book can be distributed in exchange for contacts, picking up subscribers. It is not necessary to write lengthy folios, it’s enough to write a 20-page useful   brochure on a specific topic.

6. Forums and blogs   - this method is painstaking, but technically the easiest and most accessible. Register on the thematic forums, in the personal profile fill in the field "Signature" - insert the link and communicate. The signature with the link will be under your every message. In some forums it is possible to place affiliate links directly in the text of messages.

A similar lesson - commenting articles on blogs. Many of them manage to get a link only to their social network page, as a rule: Vkontakte or Facebook is not bad either. The page will gain search "weight".
