Chapter 1: Introduction

Hi,

It's Harvey Segal of SuperTips here.

Without doubt the most popular way for newcomers to start their online marketing career is through affiliate

marketing.

Someone else has done the hard work of creating a product and your job is simply to promote it and receive

commission.

But that's where you hit the main stumbling block.

Just how do you find people to click on your affiliate link - in other words how do you get traffic.

And for many affiliates the problem goes deeper

- "I don't have a website"

- "I can't afford to pay for traffic"

The whole area of getting traffic is a huge topic.

You will find countless books, blogs and ideas if you search online.

- Some books require you to plough through hundreds of pages of detail.

- Others list hundreds of tips in a completely random fashion.

- Or explain the intricacies of the latest wonder tip which has a shelf life of a few weeks.

So the object of this book is to summarise the key established methods in a simplified and organised way.

The accompanying information is deliberately brief - when you find a method that suits you just Google for

more detail.

In Chapter 2 we list the methods in an easy to follow order ranging from those using simple advertising

content (e.g the basic signature file) through to the more advanced (e.g video).

In Chapter 3 we show the Huge advantages of having a website (or blog) to promote an affiliate program.

Except where stated - using the tag (paid) - all methods are free.

Finally in Chapter 4 we show how, whether you use these traffic methods or not, this book can be a

money-spinner with a hungry audience of staggering size at your mercy.

Chapter 2: How to drive traffic to an affiliate link

First - some tips about affiliate links

1. There will be sites where you are not allowed to use an affiliate link - such as certain forums, article

directories or PPC services. Always check first.

2. You can cloak an affiliate link (using a service such as tinyurl.com) if you want to shorten it or prevent your

affiliate code being stripped off.

3. If you want to cloak an affiliate link with a meaningful name you can purchase a domain name and redirect

it to your affiliate link. This has the additional advantage that you can switch to a different affiliate program, if

the need arises, while retaining your existing advertising campaigns.

Which to choose ?

There are places where a basic affiliate link would lose you credibility. For example if you are an affiliate for a

book about traffic and want to establish yourself as an authority on traffic then you would want to avoid

https://www.vendorsite.com?id=1234

Instead use a meaningful name via a domain redirect, for example

https://www.my-traffictips.com

 

Types of Advertising

The traffic methods in this chapter are based on three forms of advertising.

2.1 Link Advertising: Basically short ads

2.3 Other Media: Online content which does not use the written word, also offline methods.

Chapter 3: How to drive traffic to your site

If you want to boost your traffic ten-fold then you must consider having a site where you can place pages or

posts which promote an affiliate program.

A site will provide you with many more ways to drive traffic - and these are listed in this chapter.

To which most people will say

- "It's too technical"

- "It's too expensive"

- "You need to learn HTML"

Well the good news is - there's a wonderful simple alternative.

Millions are already using it.

It's a Blog.

And you will discover in Chapter 4 how to have a blog ready-made for you and to start getting traffic.

But it will also provide one other outstanding advantage.

I consider this my number one tip for making sales.

I could charge for disclosing it but I'm going to give it to you for free.

It's a secret between you and me.

So come closer . . .

Make sure no-one is looking . . .

I'm going to reveal it now.

Hey, I bet you made sure to turn over the page and read that.

Why ?

Because of the build-up I gave you.

Now that's exactly what I mean by a presell.

And you can do the same for any product you promote when you have a blog. It's as simple as writing the

content and hitting the Publish button.

And now on with the key traffic methods that you can use once you have a site or blog.

3.1 SEO (Search Engine Optimization)

This is about getting your site ranked high in the search engines. If it works well it's the number one method

of getting targetted traffic - but you need to study the techniques.

3.2 Blog Pinging

The great advantage of a blog is that you can use blog pinging services to notify search engines of new

content.

3.3 Forums

Consider adding a forum to your site. Word of mouth alone will attract subscribers.

3.4 Press Release

You can announce your product in a 'newsworthy' way and gain great exposure.

3.5 Other submission possibilities

These include

- link exchange partnerships

- traffic exchanges

- social bookmarking sites

So there we have the main methods for driving traffic.

If you have other suggestions or if you would like to see more detail please let me know in the feedback

section at the end of the book.
