Promote Your Affiliate URL

on Kamis, 07 Juli 2011

Affiliate marketing is a business model that often times gets confusing. That really does not need to be the case.


When you join an affiliate program you are either doing it to save money on personal purchases, or to make money according to the type of compensation plan the affiliate program offers. This could be selling products, getting leads, or getting people to click on ads.


Here are 4 ways to promote your affiliate website URL that you can choose from.


1. Promote the URL itself. When you join an affiliate program you are given your own personal website to promote.


The advantage to this is you can start promoting it right away. Just copy the website URL and promote it online, or promote it offline.


The disadvantage to this is many times the website URL is bulky in appearance. They will include your affiliate ID number which is what differentiates you from all of the other affiliates.


You have no doubt seen affiliate URLs that are very long and not professional looking. For that reason some affiliates choose to go another route.


2. Buy a domain name and redirect it. Choose a keyword phrase that relates to the theme of the affiliate product you are promoting.


Go to a domain registration company such as GoDaddy.com and a play around with combinations until you come up with a domain name that will work. Once you register the domain name you can redirect it to your affiliate URL.


You then promote your new domain name both on the Internet and off-line. This gives you a professional looking domain name to promote and when people see the keywords you have chosen it is something that they would be interested in.


3. Build your own website and promote your affiliate banner. This is the best way to promote an affiliate product or service.


To do this you need to purchase a domain name, and arrange website hosting. You then need to build your own website. Today many people are using WordPress themes as their primary website.


Another thing you can do is set up a free blog at Blogger.com. This can be done in three easy steps and you do not need to purchase a domain name or website hosting. The downside of this is you do not own the website you are building and it can be canceled at any time by Google.


The whole point here is you are trying to establish an online website presence of your own. The reason for this is you can place your affiliate banners on your website and promote your affiliate product or service that way.


4. Email marketing. Building your own email list is a smart way to promote a product.


You can also do email advertising to other people's list. Either way you can promote your affiliate products by promoting the affiliate URL, promoting your new domain name you have redirected, or promoting your new website that you set up.


These are 4 of the most common ways you see people promoting their affiliate URL. Doing one or more of these is a smart way to increase your affiliate income.
