How Not To Run an Affiliate Sales Campaign

Posted February 3rd, 2010. Filed under Uncategorized

Affiliate marketing is big business these days. The increasing number and variety of e-commerce sites these days means that there are lots more pieces of the pie to go around and affiliates can make money whilst sending more sales to an online retailer. It really is a deal that benefits all involved. However, as with any developing industry there will always be common mistakes that are made. Below are details of 3 killer mistakes that many affiliates make, and you can avoid.

1) Thinking too niche. Be very careful when moving into an unknown market that you don’t forget just how big it has to be to support not only the actually sellers, but also affiliates underneath them. This site advertising snowboards for example may be able to survive, but seeing as they will only pass on around 10% of the profits to affiliates, it is unlikely that affiliates sites could survive in such a niche. This means that affiliates are required to umbrella a good number of smaller niches in order to stand a chance of capturing a decent amount of the overall market.

2) Thinking too large. When products cost a great deal of money, like buying a swimming pool or maybe luxury cruises for example, sellers take a lot of time over their decisions. It is quite rare for buyers to follow affiliate links for expensive goods or services and then buy them on the same day. They tend to compare offers to a greater extent and take more time in the consideration period of the purchasing cycle. When they actually get to a stage that they are ready to make the purchase, your affiliate referral will have been lost in the ether. Sticking to smaller items such as gifts and downloads is far more likely to get results and people are more likely to buy these quickly.

3) Not competitive enough. With any successful market it is not long before it attracts quite a crowd, and you find that you are not only competing with lots more affiliate marketers, but on top of that you have to try and boost your profile over the online merchant. The major difference of course is that you are hoping to get a certain percentage of the overall sale, whilst they have the larger incentive of getting the total amount of the sale. This means you need either work harder or smarter than they do to make any money.
