More Affiliate Website Marketing Traditions

Thursday, September 4th, 2008

Care to talk a bit more about using inexpensive traditional marketing avenues to bring traffic to your wealth creation affiliate website? Today let’s talk about flyers and brochures.

Marketing Flyers And Brochures—The Good Stuff

Brochures and flyers are a great way to market an affiliate website. They have all the best elements of a successful off-line marketing tool. Flyers and brochures are:

• Portable

• Informative

• Capable of reaching offline clients and clients who haven’t thought to search for wealth creation products—they’re visible!

A short, informative brochure about your wealth creation affiliate website can put the essential program information in the hands of people around you so that you can start conversations and get them to your affiliate program site.

Simplicity In The Making

Okay, so you’re sold on the idea, but maybe you’re one who hasn’t a lot of technical expertise. You’re no graphic designer, so how can you make an effective affiliate program brochure?

Very simply, really. All you need is a basic working knowledge of your word processing program.

Word processing programs usually have templates that can be used to create brochures such as what we’re talking about here, but even if yours doesn’t, you can still create a nice brochure to market your affiliate program by using a simple copy and paste feature.

Remember the rights we gave you to your site and our online tools and resources? Exercise those rights and put your website to work for you. Even a screen shot of your website, or a print off with your contact information and web address will serve.

The most important thing to remember is to include the critical information—you don’t want to be the vague sense of an idea that prompts your potential affiliate website visitors to search, you want to be the go-to guy (or girl). Make sure that the following information is included on your brochure:

• Your affiliate website address—this is the most important! Your site will do the rest if you can get people there!

• Your website/program name

• Your contact information (whatever information you choose to divulge). This should match what is on your website.

It’s a simple thing and a small thing, but a nicely done, visibly displayed promotional brochure or flyer could really help you sell your wealth creation affiliate program offline and bring in more traffic that we all might have missed.

More Affiliate Website Marketing Tools: Your Website

Wednesday, August 6th, 2008

Maybe you already have a website for personal or business use, and maybe you don’t. With an outside website, you increase the visibility of your dedicated wealth creation affiliate website even more.

Using Your Website For Affiliate Promotion

An outside website can very easily be used to market your wealth creation affiliate website. In short time, you can use the traffic that you’ve already brought into your personal or business website to promote your affiliate program, too.

affiliateIt’s a simple matter to add a bit to an outside website about the wealth creation product you are offering, offer up links to the products (which of course are yours that go to your wealth creation affiliate website) and let your affiliate website take it from there. You can do this as a feature on a main page, in a column on a sidebar, or in a page of links. You can also include your link in the signature line of emails that are generated from your outside website.

What If You Don’t Have Another Website?

If you don’t have an outside website yet, consider getting one. You can use it for anything—make a personal website, a hobby site, or a secondary wealth creation website where you post on your own about wealth creation and link to your wealth creation affiliate website.

Contrary to what you may be thinking, it is not hard or expensive to have a website. You can get a website for free sometimes from your internet service provider, or you purchase one for a few dollars a month. Many website hosting services also offer templates and build-your-own software, so you can even build a secondary wealth creation website even if you know nothing about coding, website design, or programming.

This is another great way for you to increase your exposure on the web and build inbound links to your wealth creation seller site. Have fun with it, and add this affiliate marketing technique to your affiliate program portfolio.

Traditional Marketing Series: Sales Letter Affiliate Program Promotion

Wednesday, July 16th, 2008

Expanding a bit more on traditional marketing avenues that you can use to promote your wealth creation affiliate website, here’s a bit on using sales letters for affiliate website promotion.

The Sales Letter—What Is It?

sales letterA sales letter is just what it sounds like it is. It is a letter that you write to a targeted person or wider audience that details your wealth creation product and is sent out to the world to gain exposure for this great product. A sales letter should be in letter form, complete with the “Dear Addressee” so that recipients feel they are being personally spoken to, and beyond that, the body and content are up to you.

How Can I Use A Sales Letter For My Affiliate Website?

The sales letter technique has been adopted by websites as a foundation for business on and offline. You can use a well-crafted sales letter in many ways to supplement the information that is already formulated into your wealth creation affiliate website.

The most traditional use of the sales letter is to send the letter out in a physical mailing—yes, I mean snail-mail. This can help you reach people that don’t go online much, don’t think to search for our terms, those who live in your local area, or people you want to make sure know about your wealth creation affiliate website and wealth creation program (such as friends, family, and acquaintances whose financial health matters to you).

Formatting a sales letterThis traditional technique has been adopted and formatted for use online, too. The homepage and content of many websites are really just sales-letters. You can do this, too, by posting the sales letter you write on another website, a free or inexpensive website. Make sure you include your live affiliate links to your official wealth creation affiliate website and/or the parent website (so that you get the traffic and the credit [= $$$$]).

A sales letter is another way that you can spread the word further about your wealth creation affiliate program. Embrace it, use it, and watch your affiliate bottom line grow as you expand your outreach further and further!

Are You Benefitting From Word Of Mouth?

Wednesday, July 9th, 2008

Benefit from word of mouthRemember how we talked about using traditional means of marketing to promote your wealth creation affiliate program? Did you read the post about telling others about your plans as a wealth creation affiliate? I hope you took those words to heart and are enjoying the advantages of both. Now, let’s combine the two to reap the reward of one of the oldest, simplest, and most trustworthy forms of traditional marketing known to marketing—word of mouth.

Capture The Power Of Word Of Mouth

Since man has been trading with one another, man has been talking about it. They’ve shared information to help themselves and help others. They’ve told people about the goods they have available and about why those people need their goods. And it worked! Commerce was built on man’s ability to use word-of-mouth to promote his products! And even still today, word of mouth stands as one of the strongest, most reliable marketing forces.

The best thing about word of mouth is that it is easy and it’s free. All you have to do is talk. Or, in the cyber-world, type, and let people know, person to person, that you have a great wealth-creation product that can help them.

Why Word Of Mouth Is So Powerful

Word of mouth is a powerful marketing source for one reason—trust. It’s really hard to know who to trust, but it’s a lot easier to trust a program that you know has netted success for someone you have come to know (even if you do not know them face-to-face). All most people need to know about a wealth creation program to really trust in it is that someone they know, or someone just like them, was able to use it and to succeed.

Word Of Mouth In The Cyber-Age

Take advantage of word of mouth in all its various forms. Tell people you know, pass out a business card with details, and talk online. Emails, forums, chats—all of these are just cyber-forms of word of mouth, and many people have taken to checking out a program through one of these avenues that they deem more trustworthy than a faceless affiliate website.

Get to know those close to you—online and off—and harness the marketing power of word of mouth for your affiliate website, too.
