How can I generate traffic to my affiliate product?

by Leonor C. Marketing

Most affiliate marketers do give up when comes to getting traffic to their affiliate links but that doesn’t mean getting traffic is so difficult if you know the right ways to drive traffic to your product here are my 5 best ways of getting traffic to my affiliate product

1.AFFILIATE WEBSITE REVIEWS.

Just as you were researching affiliate marketing programs to join, you should deeply understand the companies that you’re promoting and the tools or products they offer.

Use this opportunity (and include your affiliate links) to write honest reviews about the products you’re promoting. Your first focus should be on keyword research and including headings that best match a searcher’s intent when researching the product you’re promoting.

2.EMAIL LIST

Email marketing is still alive and well, with 64% of companies believing it is the best marketing method they have, with an estimated ROI of 3800%. Because of this, make sure you don’t overlook it in response to some newer, more exciting methods.

You first need to build a list, which you can do through providing a free offer - like sharing a report, e-book or webinar - and using a form to capture email addresses (making sure, if you are marketing in the EU, to comply with GDPR). When emailing your list you must be careful to provide them with useful, relevant content. Otherwise, they will quickly unsubscribe.

Affiliate links can be used to good effect in emails, either as part of the body text or in the signature. It is also perfectly acceptable to promote affiliate products directly in emails, as long as you balance it out with valuable and useful content. If possible, segment your emails so the appropriate affiliate links go to the right audience.

3. FACEBOOK GROUPS

Another place to distribute your affiliate links is on Facebook via your personal profile or a Business page.

Make sure you’re not spamming your followers’ Facebook feeds with affiliate link posts. Your goal is to convince someone to click on your affiliate links and make a purchase. Do so by posting entertaining, educational, and intriguing content that includes affiliate links.

4. PINTEREST

Since Pinterest is a visual social media platform, you have several opportunities to drive traffic to your affiliate links, especially those which promote physical products.

For the best results, create pins and boards around a particular product. Or, you can include a pin with your affiliate link in a board focused on a broader topic.

For example, if you are an affiliate marketer for a nutrition company, create a Pinterest board around healthy eating tips, ideas, and recipes. Within that board, make sure to include one or two pins that use your affiliate links.

Test out both tactics and see which one drives the best results by checking your affiliate dashboard as well as Pinterest Analytics.

5. YOUTUBE

You know videos are a powerful marketing tool, especially for affiliate marketers. In fact, Animoto found 93 percent of businesses reported gaining a new customer as a direct result of a video posted on social media.

As an affiliate marketer, you have the ability to create video content around a variety of topics and include your affiliate links in the process.
