Starting An Affiliate Campaign From Start To Finish: Part 2: income building revenue streams and online marketing

Once you have the ideal promotional item, product or service in mind, you can then consider what avenues of marketing and promotion you could use to begin the online marketing momentum of your campaign, free web pages can provide a no cost way of getting your product review or recommendations on a site, but some problems with this could be you don't have any real control over it, as the free webhost may add their own ads on your pages, but they are worth looking into, as some of my affiliate campaigns have some mixed results on free websites.

Places like Squidoo and Hub pages will become more and more harder to promote promotional material, as they are fast becoming more content driven, but this means that you can still achieve success with them, but it will take more work on your part, plus time too as good quality content is good in the search engines.

Squeeze pages become important as they capture your potential customers who may be interested and they sit and wait and read your emails as subscribers for awhile sitting on the fence until they find something that interests them to purchase a useful product.

Communicational tools such as Autoresponders to go with the squeeze pages add professionalism to your growing affiliate marketing strategies online.

Free advertising and paid advertising are two methods to look at using side by side, but for the beginner, free is always best, Adwords or something similar takes a little research to benefit from and can burn a hole in your pocket for the amateur internet marketer.

Backlinking with article marketing is one solid method that brings in a lot of traffic, useful content articles are more successful in referring readers to your websites and these can often be quite targeted too, as ezine publishers constantly mine the article directories searching for content to include in their ezines.

Starting An Affiliate Campaign From Start To Finish: Part 1: What Service/Product

Starting an affiliate campaign online is a task that can come in many steps and methods, but the key here is to make it simple, a plan of action must be used for the upcoming affiliate marketing madness....

Definition of affiliate marketing

But first a service or product must be decided upon to promote, one that will compliment your sites content and one that will maximize your online income based on your recommendations and marketing skill in doing so, there are a good handful of affiliate program directories out there that can identify a good product or service to recommend and market, searching on google and the other popular search engines like Yahoo, Msn and Ask.com, these will bring up the top affiliate results for affiliate programs to choose from, whether it is Clickbank or Commission Junction or one of the many others, you yourself need to decide on three main points:

1. Is it targeted?

Is it a very close match to the types of content that your blog or website provides, can you integrate it well into the theme of your site, does it have real benefits? or is it just a one time promotional thing?

2. What exactly are the benefits? And can they easily be identified?

If they are obvious benefits, such as financial benefits or emotional benefits then this will help your affiliate campaigns by customers being able to tap into the power of owning the product or becoming a services member.

3. Could you create free promotional material around the existing affiliate product?

A free report that might relate to the product, maybe explain in detail how to use the product or service, with screen shots or even a video tutorial right on your web page or blog, some people often like more help and clarification when making a buying decision.

Once this important step has been completed, you are ready to move on to income building revenue streams and online marketing

Backlinks, Deep Linking And Link Strategies

Backlinks are very important in this day and age of the blog and webmastering, the value of linking in to other related content that is worthy of being useful to others, the internet is a huge library of information to be found, but if you have a blog of your own then this can be the library and you can go out and find different links that relate to the subject of your blog or website, this creates quality linking, especially if you pool posts from your own archive as this creates inbound links that are all inter related to each others content and can provide further reading on a topic.

A lot of professional bloggers report that deep linking your links within your content produces great results for clicks and can provide other aspects of the same subject but with more in depth information that the reader can read, the important elements of a blog are content and links and the value of both are determined by the user.

Finding time to blog, promote, whatever...

When you are on your own in a room with just you and the computer, there are certain aspects of working for yourself that have to be dealt with, first there is that notion of finding the time to write your blog posts, getting the discipline to do so on a regular basis, this can be especially difficult if you work at home and are bringing up kids or care for someone, these are the top distractions, but the most important things in your life have to come first right?

Yes that is true, but just think of all of the time you may waste in your daily routine, try to think of and analyze what parts of the day you could use for your blog post planning, I'm talking about the spare times of the day that anyone has, no matter how busy they think they are, For example I thought I'd have no time fitting in certain planning aspects to my business, but I took time out to study what parts of my daily routine that were not productive and I used them to write notes and think about what needs to be done.

A few examples of this are,

sitting on the toilet

Always have a notepad near the pan, as ideas and blog titles always hit me on the bog, strange as it may seem, this is one of them times of the day that anyone has and it can be used as a quick note building session.

If you have a regular job and you commute to work on a bus or train or even if you walk to work (keeping fit eh?) this is all time wasted if you don't use it to think and plan
