There are a lot of affiliate marketing tips in the Internet today and there are some of them which are really good. If you are just starting out doing affiliate marketing, you would want to implement everything at the same time.
Now, here’s the difference of what you can do, and what you will do.
Allow me to ask you something. You are interested in affiliate marketing because:
- You are a student and need the extra cash
- You have a day job and earning side income is always great
- You trying to build streams of residual income on the side
Either way, I get it. I was and still in the same shoes.
I have a day job and affiliate marketing allows me to earn extra income monthly, without much hard work and more importantly, more money to put food on the table.
You are confused with affiliate marketing.
With so much information about affiliate marketing tips in the market space, you are desperate to know what works and more importantly, what doesn’t — right?
I bet it not because I guess so, it is because I know so!
Now, what if I tell you that there is one simple affiliate marketing tip you can follow, that will increases your affiliate sales multiple folds?
The answer is this … (carry on reading).
ARTICLE LAYOUT.
No, I’m not talking about blog layout — I’m talking about the article layout. This means the way you make your article portray the information to the public.
Here’s an important tip: No one loves wall of text.
Typically, most blog layouts look like this.
If I could describe this in just one word, it would be B.O.R.I.N.G.
You see, most affiliate marketers opt for the layout above and there is no wrong to it. What makes your conversion is the CONTENT part.
We spend so much time trying to create the best ads and banners on the sidebar that we totally forget that the conversion power lies within the content.
And of course, this leads to another question.
How to use content and increase affiliate sales?
The answer is simple. Make it interactive.
According to the BusinessDictonary.com, the word “interactive” can be inteprated as “Live presentation in which the audience can participate.”
How do you make your blog post interactive without voice?
Hah! Now, you are talking.
The trick here is simple. Using visual editor and turn wall of text into something fun.
Here’s my meaning of fun:
1. Countdown timer
2. Progress Bar
3. Icons (retina display)
4. Content Reveal
