Book Marketing InformationOne of The Biggest And Deadliest Mistakes Affiliates Do On
by:
David Seitz
Being the affiliate marketing director for one of the nets most popular affiliate programs I tend to see just about every type of problem an affiliate could run into. One of the biggest problems if not THE biggest problem I see once again and once again is what we refer to as "Affiliate Gluttony"
And no, were not talking donuts here!
All jokes aside, affiliate gluttony is a really real and serious problem among the affiliate marketing earth and you may be amazed to see that your own webpage might fall into the gluttony category. Don't worry though, it's only partly contagious and there is a cure!
So what is affiliate gluttony?
Glad you asked! If you can recognize affiliate gluttony, you can avoid it entirely and increase your affiliate promotion revenue.
Affiliate gluttony is actually greed in disguise. It's an "unfocused" attempt at earning multiple income streams. Don't get me wrong "multiple" financial gain
streams should be one of your "biggest" goals but trying to create them on ONE website is simply asking for failure. No wait... it's Beggary for it!
I am sure you have seen it plenty of times online. You move across a website piece looking for a product or piece of information and you get drop
into gluttony land.
Let's set an example here...
Sally has a website on ebook marketing which promotes "Big Companies Super Duper Ebook Marketing Guide" affiliate program. But hold on a minute, piece we are waiting for the page to load ridiculous amounts of needless images we besides see that Sally is promoting the "Dandy John's Nuclear Battery-powered Orange Juice Squeezer With Email Attachment Interface" plus don't forget the "Romance or Bust: Hitch Hikers Manual To Finding A Soul Mate On The Open Desert Road In 7 Days or Less" affiliate program and some "hundred" another great bargains that we all have been looking for our entire lives! Wow, everything from fruit baskets to rocket fuel.
Damn, we found the gold mine here! I better call my credit card institution right now and request a credit extension because daddy's going to be ordering up a storm today! Sally wish be on her way to a tropical paradise by the time I'm done buying at her site.
S T O P ! ! !
Ok Sally, it's time to wake up! In reality I'd hit my browsers back button quicker
than you can say: "What's a nuclear battery-powered orange juicer look like?"
How galore affiliate ad's do you think you can fit on one webpage? Are you trying to break the record?
This is killing your sales!
Sally has been stricken with a sever case of affiliate gluttony. All is not lost though, with a bit of work, Sally wish be able to create some financial gain
streams out of her website and all without losing any of her affiliate programs she so sky-high promotes.
If you're already stuck in this rather popular ditch it's not hard to dig yourself out. Slowly modify your webpages with a personal touch and you wish soon see your click thru rates and sales referrals pleasantly increasing!
Our better proposal
to Sally is to take each of her most popular affiliate programs and create unique websites for each.
It's not as hard as you think it is. Imagine if Sally bought up nuclearjuicer.com and created a 3 to 5 page website that wholly focused on promoting "Dandy John's Nuclear Battery-powered Orange Juice Kitchen utensil
With Email Attachment Interface" Do you think her sales would increase? You better believe it! Adding pictures, personal testimonials and quick load times wish help create a total marketing machine focused on selling one product! Once
a targeted visitant comes to nuclearjuicer.com looking for a juicer they wish have nothing meddlesome with their purchase decision.
Whether you promote software system or field
mowers, if you focus on your target market, you will increase your affiliate referrals.
Sally can instantly put this idea into play with very little out of pocket expense exploitation these resources:

streams as you want! Each one should be focused on one specific category or conception to generate the most revenue. Once
you leave your targeted visitors with fewer buying choices and support them focused on one product, you wish create galore more affiliate sales.
