How Do You Deal With The Challenges Of Affiliate Marketing?

[NaturalWriter]

Greetings to you all!

I have been an affiliate for two years, selling products within a variety of different niches.
When you're into affiliate marketing it pays you a percentage of what they product sells for, which means it's commission.

Working commission can be stressful and challenging for some because the payout fluctuates dramatically, from day to day. Knowing it's unpredictability, how do you keep on top of things to ensure your security as an affiliate marketer?

Keep posting honest reviews, Build readership and followers for your blog and finally be patient. Don't get dejected by failures, Work smartly, hard work doesn't always pay.

For me, it was always about some back-up projects to ensure that, in case if I get a very small percentage for my products/services, I still have some income. Thus, when I was a part of a team that was struggling to monetize certain products, I even did some writing/freelancing or had a part-time job. At least, it worked fine for me.

Affiliate Marketing is a good way to get money. But if you want to earn more, you need to conduct different tests, always optimize your campaigns. Usually it is like ups and downs...

What tests are you referring to? What are your suggestions?

I mean that if you want to get good results from your work, you need to test - place different banners on the site with different copy, look at their stats what banner converts better, change pages for these banners. If you promote a product via email, then test different subject lines, copies, calls to action, analyze everything and choose the best variant.

This is right on the money! I found that creating your own unique banners helps too, as people sometimes become blind to the same ones the see over and over again.

Do you have blog posts surrounding your product that are like a personal story? Or are they more point form? I use both tactics, depending on the niche and the emotions I want to get across.

NaturalWriter, best method to earn some money trough Affiliate Marketing is to sell Hosting plans or keys for Games. Why? Because the digital branche (eg: Hosting, Gaming, Apps..) is still in its infancy, so there will be much time to see them growing better in future, but still you can earn monthly betwen 500-1500 Euro.

Why Hosting/Server plans?
Why not? Today, everyone needs an Portal (web site), or alrdy every 3rd Computer consumer is searching for cheap and best Hosting plans, so you will be able to reach best results with it to resell such products..

Why Gaming?
Gaming today is new class of Sport, of eSport! I mean, look on Twitch how much people is streaming how they play, just search for some Events for Electronic Sports League and you will see, how powerful Gaming today it is.

Why Apps?
Because so much people is using smartphones, there is always a chance to earn some money.


I would never resell some junk like clobber, insurance deals, viagra xD, or something like that..
