To have success as an Affiliate Marketer you need to have good conversion rate for the products you are promoting.  The average marketer converts only .5 to 1% of the visitors to their site into customers.  That’s pretty discouraging!

Now to get better results you need to provide your readers with some really good content.  This can be articles and research.  You can even purchase the product, try it and write an honest review of the product. When you purchase the products this is also a business write off.  Your readers and customers will really appreciate your opinions and research.  They will trust you as you look like a “crap filter“, saving them from buying bad and useless products.  As you write your reviews you can insert your affiliate links so your readers can purchase the products you are reviewing.

Now the secret is great content and a lot of it.  Don’t worry…if your not a writer there are several ways to get great content.

1. Create your own content
2. Buy PLR (Private Label Rights) content
3. Search public domain (copyright free) content
4. Hire a ghostwriter
5. Use other author’s content
6. Re-tool your content

In the follow up post I will talk about each tactic to create your content.

To your succes,
