Starting Affiliate Marketing From Scratch
Starting Affiliate Marketing on a Shoe String Budget
If I had to start Affiliate Marketing from scratch, I would probably go about it like this.
- Research the Niche I am interested in. By choosing something that interests you, you are more likely to stick with it, and be passionate about what you are selling.
- Head over to Clickbank and find a suitable product. Just 1. Focus on 1. When you start seeing traction from that one..then, and only then, do we move on and branch out to other products.
- Keyword Research. Find about 10 medium to long tail keywords to use throughout your entire campaign. by using the same keywords throughout, you will give your site more authority. Now you have a Niche, A product to sell and a list of keywords.
- Set up a BLOG. This is going to be your home base for every piece of content you make. You can get very cheap hosting from Bluehost or similar and a domain name wont be much at all.
- POST HEAPS of good valuable content on your blog. You can search Ghostwriters on Fiverr if you are struggling for content. But the cheapest option is to research and write it yourself. Thats really all you need.. but why stop there??
- Set up the majors. Youtube account and Facebook Page. Fill those with as much content as you can. With making youtube video’s you are going to have to be consistent.
- Set up a Clickfunnels account so you can build out awesome sales funnels, and send your prospects through your sales funnel. This will cost you between $19 – $237 per month depending on the features you want.
- Set up a Getresponse account so you can capture your prospect leads and send them automatic follow up e-mails, re-directing them back into your buying funnel.
Now we have all the building blocks in place.
We are going to write our most detailed and SEO (optimized) content on our BLOG.
Using # Hashtags (with the keywords we selected earlier) we are going to post plenty of short snippets of that blog onto our facebook page. We are then going to link that page to lots of different Niche Specific Facebook Groups.
Our facebook page snippets are going to link through to our Youtube Videos. This providing Google Link Juice.
Our Youtube videos are going to link to the very detailed posts on out BLOG. Thus providing 2x Link Juice to our BLOG.
Our blog is going to link to our Clickfunnels Landing Page where out Get Response Account will capture the prospects leads.
Our Getresponse Autoresponder is going to systematically drip daily and follow up emails to our prospect list, re-directing them back into the sales funnel in the hope they will buy the 2nd or 3rd time they see the clickbank offer!!
And THAT is how I would go about it.
