Affiliate Marketing is the Future

One of the easiest ways to earn an income is from Affiliate Marketing. Basically, affiliate marketing is earning a commission by promoting and selling products that are created by other people or another company.

How does it work? Well, you choose a product or a line of products that you would like to promote and from the sale of each item you then earn a profit . So why is this great, you ask? As an affiliate marketer you benefit from earning a commission, the company benefits from the sale of the product  and in turn the customer is pleased because they found the product. It’s a win, win!

One of the joys of affiliate marketing is that you don’t need to put a huge investment of your time to create a product to sell. As soon as you find a product or line that you’re interested in selling you can begin. All you need is a platform to sell it on.

You’ll want to find a reputable company or product that you know will be useful and wanted. Trying to promote a product that you don’t believe in will be seen as fake and people won’t feel that you are trustworthy to do business with. It is better to recommend products from a company that you’ve purchased yourself and allow you to speak from experience. Honesty is always the best policy!

To be successful at affiliate marketing you’ll need these essential elements to get started.

1) A Domain Name

2) A Landing Page

3) Targeted Traffic

4) Quality Products to Promote

Generating traffic is a big factor here as without targeted traffic coming to your landing page and clicking through you’ll be hard pressed to get any sales. There are fabulous websites, selling products on the internet but they are not getting the traffic to keep them alive. You’ll want a website that is easy to navigate, nothing complicated or cluttered as you’ll turn potential customers away. These steps should help you on your journey to become a successful affiliate marketer!

Why You Should Use Instagram for Business

Millions of marketers are taking advantage of social media marketing by using Instagram. Perhaps you’re one of them or have noticed this but are unsure of how it works and why it would be good for your business. Instagram is the perfect opportunity for companies to share their brand and blast out quick, short messages to their audience. People in general have short attention spans and jump quickly from one site to another. Instagram is a way to share your pictures and short messages in quick fashion.

Instagram is a mobile app meaning you can only post from your Android or iPhone not from the web. When you sign up for an Instagram account you will choose a profile picture and a name that you like. This could be the name of your business or a website that you manage. You will write a short description of your page and add a website link, this gives your audience a place to go and check out your business.  Here is my Instagram page if you’d like to see what it looks like and feel free to follow me if you like! As you post your pictures you’ll get more likes and begin to gain follower’s! That means more potential eyes on your business.

I have just recently started using this platform so I still have much to learn about Instagram but I am slowly growing my followers and getting lots of likes on my pictures. As you’re posting your pictures try to think about you’re target audience and post things that will capture their attention. You may want to include pictures with a call to action that leads to your website. This is a great way to promote your products and or services.

Being an Instagram user helps to build trust in your company, a positive experience makes happy customers. It can also help you create a distinct personality for your business this is important too. Give it a try, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain if you want to grow your business.
