Hi ALL! I am George Pierce, this post is about how to find affiliates. Finding affiliates is relatively easy, however, your first tip is to find 'PERFECT' affiliates. To choose affiliates that really are a good fit, focus on thier placement with your brand and target audience, their experience, and the commissions offered. Likewise, consider their marketing methods and the content they produce.
My story:
I share what I do, because it works. One of my new YT cannels is gaining traction, so it is time for a website, which includes finding affiliates. The idea is to send viewers from YT to the website, and to send website visitors to YT. And along their way, get them to make a purchase or more, and to join an email list. Part of the site building and list building process is to monetize, which includes strategically placed affiliate ads, banners, videos, text and so forth on your site and in your emails. This post is a breakdown of the steps you should take to find affiliates. I will say it again, you want affiliates that are a perfecit fit, so here is how to do it. The following will work for any niche.
1. You want an affiliate that Aligns With Your Brand and Target Audience:
Brand Placement: Make sure the affiliate's brand and values resonate with your own.
Audience Match: Focus on affiliates whose target market demographics and interests fit well with your target market.
2. Review Experience and Know-how:
Look for affiliates with a tested track record.
High quality is a MUST!
Examine the quality and relevance of their product or service, also, of their web content, guaranteeing it is interesting, engaging, and trustworthy.
Promotional Methods: Do their marketing approaches (e.g., social media, blogging, email) line up with yours.
3. Commission Fees and Incentives:
Make sure the commission rates and incentives provided are competitive and appealing.
Repeating Compensations (residual):
Consider repeating payments. Your research and your niche and audience knowledge, will help you with making this choice, if available.
4. How can your affiliate help YOU?
Look at their Tools and Platforms, Software, Tracking and Analytics, and Communication.
5. When it comes to physically Locating Affiliates, you may be surprised at what you will find when you use your search box. However,
Affiliate Networks may be best choice. They allow you to access a vast pool of possibilites. An added benefit is that your prospective affiliate is more likely to be honest, dependable, reliable, etc., when they are in an Affiliate Network.
Take a little extra time and a little extra care when finding affiliates, it will be worth it.
Thank you for reading.
Much success,
George Pierce
PS. The new site is a WordPress site, which WordPress AI built for me. It still needs to be customized, and more pages added, but the result is 6 pages, very professional pages, the nucleus that every site needs, all set up and ready to customize. My site (above) was created with AIOP ( All in one Profit) because everything you need, including autoresponder (virtually UNLIMITED email software) is included. I have been with AIOP for years, they are great...BUT...although they have the lowest price, they are not free. Infinity Free is a free option (website only). Both AIOP and Infinity Free provide access to WordPress by way of Softaculous, which you can access through your cPannel or WP manager.
PPS. Music is a 'love' or a 'passion' for me, creating an online biz based on one of your 'loves' or 'passions' makes your journey even more fun.
