Affiliate Marketing

[UPDATED] Affiliate marketing is one of the most successful money making gigs you could take on these days. But first, a bitter truth about the state of things: Spending goes down at the start of every year, but the market for products that are both niche and popular is rarely ever doom and gloom. So what’s an affiliate marketing? In simple words, I’d like to define it as a partnership between the maker/seller of a product/service and your online store. You don’t really have to tie the knot, but simply create an affiliate tracking id, and sell the product or service on your platform. The profit of the sales is split between you and the product/service provider. The Best Affiliate Products to Sell in 2020   What’s are the Best Affiliate Products to Sell? “Affiliate marketing is ...

AB testing is an experiment where two or more significantly different pages are displayed to users randomly. Unlike other standard practices in digital advertising, this one takes more resources and bears the risk of failing to communicate the right message. Deciding whether or not to launch AB testing, you should be ready to take additional precautions to minimize these risks. They say that good-selling commercial ads are all about inspiration and design. But, mostly, it is about a calibrated and mapped-out approach.   Title There are only 8 basic A/B testing rules you should never break. If your A/B testing breaks even one of these rules, it is more likely to fail. 1. Blind A/B testing If you choose two pages to run within a single test and they only sligh...

Editor’s note: the author of this post asked to remain anonymous. Hello guys, Formerly crowned as the affiliate marketing trend of 2019, push notifications are losing some of their fire. But, since I’m not very fond of swift changes and prefer to keep up with what is still working, I’m trying to figure out if this is still a top toy to play in the affiliate marketing game. Push Notifications still work? Well, let’s find it out. I’ve decided to run a test to find out and to make it more challenging, I’ve chosen the following GEO and offer: GEO: You know what the community says about the Indian traffic: almost every advertising network can offer plenty of it, yet it’s hard to monetize. So, I think it’s a good challenge to try some offers with Indian traffic. Offe...

4.5/5 (21) “Competition is for losers” – Peter Thiel I love studying strategy and competition. I’ve learned that it’s rarely a good idea to compete on having the lowest price. Imagine that you have a product or a service, and your only advantage is that you’re cheaper than the competition. What happens if you have the lowest price, but then a competitor is able to set their price lower than you? What if you’re selling Yoga mats and Amazon comes out with their version, or your supplier decides to start selling the products themselves? There’s no advantage to being the second cheapest in the market. Being too cheap can also hurt conversion rates since people associate the product with being low quality. Being the cheapest works if you have the volume to suppo...

4.6/5 (14) When you’re running a business, it can feel as if there are a thousand tasks at any given moment. You’re trying to grow revenue, but you’re stuck in the whirlwind of endless meetings and other people telling you what to do. The problem is every team member has their own priorities. It can feel like you’re trying to row the boat forward, but everyone’s paddling in a different direction. There’s so much movement, but you end up in the same spot a year later. Can you relate to this? So how can you get the entire company on the same page and row in the same direction? The best way to do this is to decide on a single priority. From there you need to create a Critical Number to measure your progress against it. In 2005, Noah Kagan was one of the early ...

4.5/5 (18) Running a business is like going to war. Think about how many analogies in business came from the military: price wars, guerrilla marketing, strategic alliances, subordinates, chain of command, and much more. I started studying military strategy for fun in college. I wish I could tell you some grandiose reason why, but the truth is I wanted to get better at playing StarCraft. And through all that studying, one strategy has stuck with me throughout the years. And it’s one that I’ve used in business over and over the past decade. It’s called the Beachhead Strategy. Here’s where it comes from. France was occupied by Nazi Germany in the 1940s. On June 6, 1944, more than 176,000 American, British, and Canadian soldiers stormed the beaches of Normandy...

4.4/5 (3) It’s hard to hire great talent. Think about how fast you can gain skills in business. You can launch dozens of tests a day if you have the budget. You can handwrite sales letters by hand daily to improve your copywriting. But getting good at hiring? That takes a long time. Looking at resumes, interviewing people, and onboarding them takes months. How many “reps” are you getting each year for hiring? Mistakes are expensive – I’m not talking about just the time and money wasted. It can be draining for everyone involved. Whenever I had to let someone go in the past, I’d be nervous the entire week until Friday. And have you ever had someone break down crying while you’re firing them? It’s horrible. There’s pressure to get the decision right. Despite all...
