Helpful Technology for Affiliate Marketers (part 3)

Traffic Generation

Investing in tools to help with traffic generation is also a meaningful way to create a successful affiliate marketing business. After all, you need a lot of targeted traffic to get the results you wanted when you set your goals and objectives.

• Publer – This is a great tool to collaborate, schedule & analyze your posts for popular social medias such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest & Google My Business. All from the same spot.
• Facebook Ads – You can use Facebook directly to do re-targeting and re-marketing campaigns by using the Facebook pixel on your site. Then you run an ad that only former visitors see, which has been shown to increase traffic and sales.

Don’t forget to send an email out too. When you have a new blog post, go ahead and tell your email audience about it using your email marketing software’s automatic blog post sharing features. 

Traffic can be hard to get especially if you’re just starting out. Check out this FREE book by Russell Brunson. Click here: Traffic Secrets.

Tracking and Converting

The other tools you need to help you become a profitable affiliate marketer are tools that help you track the effectiveness of your efforts and convert your audience. Every website needs to install Google Analytics. It’s free and it works great. After all, Google is still the leading search engine. That means you need to follow their recommendations.

For link tracking, a good choice is PrettyLinks.com. You can set up your website so that any time you mention specific terms, the software automatically inserts an affiliate link in that term. That’s a great way to automate your recommendations and track clicks and conversions.

Content Marketing

One of the ways you’re going to generate more traffic for your ideal target audience is to publish content that they’ll be interested in. In order to produce compelling content, you’ll need to do your research, ensure it’s understandable, and that it’s attractive. Not only that – you also want to ensure that you are posting content on a consistent and regular basis. These tools can help you accomplish that.

• Research – When you want to do research, the most natural place to go is of course Google Search and Google Website Tools. That is where you should start. But there is also wonderful paid software that you can use even more effectively depending on what you are researching. A few tools you may want to try are social media platform searches, competitor searches, and their internal data by buying their products. 
• Editing – When you publish anything, whether it’s a blog post or a product, you want to ensure that it’s readable to your audience. To accomplish that, first you need to know who the audience is and what terms they like using, then you need to be native in the language or hire someone who can help. You can also use tools like Grammarly.com to help you edit. However, the main issue is that if you don’t know what is right, the software can confuse you.
• Graphics – At some point, you’ll want to create graphics to add more interest to blog posts, social media updates, to create eBooks and more. A good option for a non-graphic designer is to try Canva.com, although there is merit in hiring an experienced graphic designer to do that for you too.
• Scheduling – There is a lot to do when it comes to marketing and scheduling, as well as planning what you are going to do to market your affiliate business. If it’s social media such as Facebook groups or page, Twitter, Pinterest, you can try out Publer.

You may also need to hire someone to help you plan and create content for your affiliate business. You don’t have to do everything yourself. You can hire a content writer to help, and you can also use private label rights content to help you fill in the gaps in your content.

Using helpful technology that is made for marketers is a vital way to get ahead as an affiliate marketer. Always read the fine print for any technology you want to buy or use, because some of them expressly prohibit activities that include affiliate marketing. It’s always good practice to read the rules because it’ll also give you full insight on using each tool you buy.
