There is a certain order which has to be followed if you are truly going to be successful at being an Affiliate Marketer.
It is not just grabbing an affiliate link for any old affiliate product and expect to make a bunch of money.
Yes it is possible to make money with this method but it is not the method the strong Affiliates use to make large quantities of cash.
It all starts with “YOU” providing a solution to a problem through Great Content…
Your content is found by those searching on the web for the solution to the problem you have found them having through your proper research. This is known as your traffic.
Once your traffic runs into you because of you being well positioned to meet them, you begin the Pre-sell process which is created through the relationship and more good solid content which you over-deliver to the visitor.
Then and only then, comes monetization.
Content… The Problem Solver
Online visitors look for Content. They are not looking for you! (At least they don’t know they are yet)
Visitors do not know you, and most do not even care about you. They are focused on solutions to their problems or needs first and foremost. You need to stand out above the crowd and be the one they find! If you don’t… you fail!
There are a couple of very important things you need to remember when it comes to the content you are providing.
Positioning yourself correctly in front of your visitors over your competition.
Differentiate yourself from your competition.
Do your very best to deliver great content which, first and foremost, helps solve your visitors problems. By doing so you will build Great Traffic, which gives you the opportunity to be Pre-sold. Then and only then, are you ready to Monetize.
You need to start from the very beginning not at the desired end result.
Do not be like so many people who first spend time and energy setting up a shopping cart and a merchant account or some other way of "collecting the money.
Turn knowledge into content. Then convert your content into income.
There is once again a flow process you can set into place to help you achieve the desired outcome of turning your content into income.
