Affiliate Marketing steals basic concepts from the marketing that professionals and market managers use in Forbes 500 companies, and dumbs it down to the point where most anyone can make some sort of profit. I’m far from great, ultra creative, and experienced, but I still make hundreds a day (working on reaching thousands). Had it not been some advice I’d taken from my marketing courses in college, though, I may not be as far as I am now.

• Customer-Oriented Offers

This is a simple idea that any profiting AM knows about. No matter how much you love little kittens wearing ski-masks, you’ll find it extremely hard to push any offer selling ski masks for kittens unless you do your niche research before hand. You aren’t the one making the decision to but the kitten ski masks. No matter how much you think they will sell, you won’t be able to sell that offer unless you know who will buy them. That is why it is almost always easier to take the needs (the word want can be interchanged here as the lines between what is needed and what is wanted can be very broad depending on society) of a group of people and send them an offer that will work with them. In the end, it is down to the end user, the customer, or consumer to make the final choice on your CPA offer.

• Coordination

You need a plan. You need to be coordinated. You need to obtain a high level of coordination with all your campaigns. I used to run headstrong into these offers without demographic research, without split testing, and without giving much of a care on my click prices. Now, I’ve got data sheets storing my lead IDs, revenue and profit, demographic lists, and piles of other useful information I can use when I plan new campaigns. I no longer slack on planning, because even though it might take me an extra day, it might make me 100+ dollars per day which in the end, is well worth a few hours of extra work. Getting things coordinated will ensure atleast some sort of success, even if that success leads to learning from your failures.

• Performance Objectives

I used to be happy with any type of profit I made. 2 dollars or 200, it didn’t matter because it meant I was making money. However, it set no real goal for me. I had nothing to aim for except for $0.01 a day. It led to a lack in motivation, especially for expanding campaigns. That was stupid. I write down conversian goals and plans for new campaigns that I want to get running in the near future. I even write down profit goals I want to reach for the month and year. It gives me a sparkle of hope and a push when my profits drop. If I can’t realize these goals, I know that I need to change something or slightly adjust them.

There are certainly other aspects one should come to know in order to better perfect their Affiliate Marketing skills.
