Mistake number 1: Choosing the wrong associate program
One of the pitfalls of associate marketing is choosing the wrong associate program to join. Most beginning associate sellers often choose the 'flavor of the month'; product to promote in order to make a fast buck online. However, the product may not be suitable for the associate seller who has no interest in it and in promoting it online. In addition, this approach is a short-term approach and is not strategic in serving you build a solid business online.
Hence the best ways to get cracking online is to
· Choose a niche you want to specialize in
· Choose a series of related products inside the category that appeals to you
· Do some research on the product before sign language up as an associate to promote it.
· Build a relationship with your clients so you can continue to market related offers to them.
Mistake number 2: Spreading yourself too thin.
Since associate programs are very easy to join, you power be tempted to join many programs to maximize your earnings. You may also feel that there is nothing to lose since you only need to fill up a simple form and click submit before being accepted as an associate.
This may be a good approach to making four-fold sources of income online. However, by connexion four-fold programs, you may be spreading yourself too thin. As a beginning associate seller, you have limited resources originall and committing to too many programs will result in a diffused approach which will not yield the results you desire.
You will also not be able to maximize the potential of the associate product if you are not focused on promoting one program at a time.
Hence the best approach to take will be to
· Choose a program that pays more than 40% commission or at to the last degree $20.
· Make your best effort in promoting this product and make a reasonable profit before committing to promoting other product.
This approach may be slow but is a sure way of creating steady streams of income online.
Mistake number 3: Have no antecedent experience with the product.
Most associate sellers often commit the mistake of marketing a product without any antecedent experience with it. Hence it makes it difficult for them to convince others to purchase their product.
They normally base their promotion on the gross revenue tools provided by the merchant. A productive seller is able to put their own angle and 'spin' towards promoting it. They are also able to create their own client base that comes to trust them.
The best ways to promote the product is to first purchase the product and try it out first before sign language up as an associate. In this way, you can write and speak convincingly about the benefits of the product, its advantages and disadvantages. In addition, you may able be able to create a 'quick-start' guide to help your clients get the most benefits from the product you are promoting in the shortest time possible.
Do not fall prey to the above three associate marketing mistakes otherwise you will be wasting your time and efforts with only a paltry result for your efforts.
