Other Notable Common Affiliate Marketing Mistakes

It isn’t hard to set up a good website and - start and affiliate marketing career. It isn’t hard at all to find affiliate marketing opportunities on the internet. However, it is a very simple thing to - make deadly mistakes that will insure your - failure to thrive at affiliate marketing. 

One of the most notable affiliate marketing mistakes is to think that all you have to do is find the ones that pay - the most, sign up, drive traffic to that site through your affiliate link and you’re all set right? Not exactly. It’s great to choose an affiliate program that pays a high - percentage, but that’s not most important thing to consider. It’s much more important to find a quality affiliate program that meets certain criteria. Here are three mistakes you - don’t have to make: 

• You want to make sure the product is a proven seller. You - don’t want to waste your time and money - driving traffic to a site that doesn’t convert. Find one with a good conversion rate. 

• Make sure the site you become an affiliate for protects its affiliates, and has your best interest at heart. Look for - one that provides banners, e-mails, and other tools you can use to promote the site. Also, make sure that there is only one payment option. As an - affiliate marketer, you need to be sure that you will get credit for your referral. If there is more than one payment method, you can get shortchanged. 

• Do not choose an affiliate program that promotes an e-mail course. Nothing is worse than becoming an affiliate to - a site that’s first goal is to capture e-mail addresses, - and then tries to make the sale second. As an affiliate marketer, you need to capture e-mail addresses, then to convert that prospect into a sale. Stick with affiliate - programs that aren’t focused on capturing leads because it’s simply not in your best interest. Build your own list, not someone else’s.
