As an internet marketer, you may know that building lists is one of the more profitable ways to build your online business. Combine that with affiliate marketing and you have a strong business model.
So what’s the best way to put this into practice?
One of the better models is to create niche specific landing pages (squeeze pages) that entice the visitor to signup for your list and learn the answers that you promote on the landing page.
For example, if you are targeting the wart removal market, you would find a wart removal information product that converts well and then create a landing page that describes the troubles people have with warts, the frustration and then provide them with a solution. Provide them with benefits they can learn by joining your list.
After they confirm their email address, have your autoresponder service send them to the affiliate program link you’re promoting with the Wart Removal solution you promised. Normally, this is the ‘confirmation url’.
Then, follow up with them using email explaining the benefits of the solution you proposed, and your affiliate link where they can get the solution.
Building a list of prospects on a specific topic allows you to market to them on this and related topics for as long as they’re on your list. This gives you a much greater chance to convert sales rather than just sending traffic to an affiliate product directly without capturing their email address.
Some important tips:
First, test to see whether to send them to the affiliate program before or after confirming their address makes a difference on sales and email confirmation conversions. I’ve found that waiting until after confirming their address gets you more serious prospects and more sales in the long run, although you may have fewer subscribers. But test for your market and see what works best.
Next, pick an affiliate product that converts well. If you use Clickbank, check the gravity score. The higher the score means the product is selling and being referred, although you don’t need 500+ scores to find a winner. The scores are more indicative of the competition, but if they are selling, they have a positive gravity score.
Lastly, create a landing page that is persuasive and looks nice. Clean layout with some images relating to the niche you’re promoting seems to increase conversions.
What if you don’t know how to create landing pages?
One solution is to use a template pack already designed with a target market in mind.
We’ve put together a complete custom designed set of three landing pages, email confirmation pages… plus an autoresponder series for each product. This pack also includes a custom installation package that requires no HTML knowledge, just follow push-button instructions to customize and upload in minutes. So it’s great for both advanced marketers looking to save time, as well as those new to online marketing.
Only a limited number if these packs are available to protect your profits. I recommend either creating your own pages or using a set like these that are limited in availability. It’s best to have a more unique page not already used by thousands of others to provide your visitor with a great experience and convert more sales that turn into affiliate commissions.
