Now that you have chosen your affiliate product or service, you need to direct traffic to your sales pages. But you can’t be satisfied with just any general non-targeted traffic. You need prospects who will be interested in the product or service that you are marketing.
Here are a few ways to generate targeted traffic to your affiliate link.
Forums – Become an active participant in a forum related to your niche. Put a link to your sales page in your signature if the forum rules permit it. Spamming the forum is not an option. Add value to the forum by joining in debates and answering questions. People may even start to recognize you as an expert on your chosen topic. If the forum members like your style, the quality of your posts or even the promotional text in your signature you can generate targeted traffic without spending a dime.
E-zines – Advertising in e-zines is an ideal way to generate targeted traffic because the readers are already interested in your niche. Just be aware that not all ezine ads produce good results so start slowly with a new ezine until you can determine that it is a winner.
Newsletters – Start your own newsletter and build a list of targeted prospects. As the size of your list grows, you may want to consider selling advertising space to other advertisers.
E-books – Give away e-books or special reports. People like to receive things for free. Just make sure that you are giving them something that they will appreciate. Make sure that you link back to your site from within the e-book. If the information is really useful, the books may be shared with other people creating a viral effect.
PPC – Pay per click is the quickest way to generate targeted traffic but it will cost you money. If you can write interesting ads and select your keywords carefully, you can make a positive return on your investment. Start slowly as it is easy to spend a lot of money with no return.
Using a combination of these techniques can help to increase the amount of targeted traffic to your site. The more traffic, the more likely that you will have a profitable campaign.
