How To Succeed in Affiliate Marketing

Task Two: Newsletters and Affiliate Marketing

Newsletters are a very good way for driving traffic to your affiliate website, advertising your affiliate products and increasing your sales. Weekly or monthly newsletters are sent to all the members of this mailing list.

A lot of successful affiliates make a lot of money with their newsletters. The key is to create an effective newsletter that can generate interest and help your affiliate business grow. Here I am giving you some quick tips to create and run your newsletter successfully.

1. Should be specific to your niche: If you want your newsletter to have good results and you are looking to get a decent profit from it, then your newsletter articles should be specific to your niche. If your niche is scuba divers, avoid publishing articles on web marketing. Simply, give to your customers information related to your. 
2. Write articles yourself: Your mission in this field must be to improve your own reputation and build expertise. If you just copy and paste the work of others at your site, then it means that you are promoting others instead of yourself. If you can't write there are lots of people who will be ready to write the articles for you and for which you will get the credit from their work. At minimum, you should give your own introduction in the beginning of the article and also give the reason why you are adding the article.
3. Publish NO MORE than weekly: You should publish your newsletter at least once every two weeks. The best practice is to publish a weekly newsletter. But don’t publish more than once a week, because people want to listen to you but not so often.
4.  Write Short Articles: An ideal length for articles is 350-550 words. If you have more lengthy articles, you can split those articles into two or more. Short articles are easy to read and are more effective.
5. Focus on one product/offer per month: Every month you should select one affiliate product that you want to promote during that particular month. Focus on topics related to that particular product.  This way your users will also focus on one product at a time and they may turn into buyers.
6. Offer Incentives: You can set up a downloadable incentive for your visitors when they return on a predetermined day to ensure more traffic and get possible sales.

Following these six steps can create a growing affiliate income from your newsletter. Just try to be focused, and send your newsletters at least two times in a month.
