An affiliate marketer is bassicaly a middleman between a seller and a buyer. Whenever a client buys the seller product via youur arrangement, you earn a commssion from that sale.
There are several methods you can that:
- Share links in your blog posts/socialmedia/etc
- Email your list of contacts
- Promote product/services via paid ads (Ad networks are your perfect ally in this case)
- Sponsored posts & partnerships
I'm not sure there are speccific rules or a secret recipe for suceesful affiliate marketing. I believe there are guidelines but defintely everyone is unique.
From my experience I can advise affialites to:
- Diversify the risk
- Be patient with the results
- Always monitor your results
- Be transparent with your partners and audience
- Invest in tools to ease up and automate your workflow(if possible)
As figured, we think similarly. Can you recommend me some native ad networks that worked for you, please? I know about MGID, Outbrain, Taboola, RevContent but I was wondering if you've tested less "known" platforms.
I agree. To me, advanced targeting and company transparency is also a decisive factor. I'm not that into social media advertising(it's a thing of me) but I guess e-commerce fits pretty well with that channel. Thanks for your reply! 🙂
