List Building Tips For The Affiliate Marketer

If you're into affiliate marketing you will probably already
know how important list building is to your overall success.
However, I sometimes get the feeling from close examination of my
competitor's sites that list building takes a back seat in their
site layout and design. One also gets the general feeling that
list building is not as important as it once was, especially in
the early days of online marketing before the advent of so many
social media/networking sites.
Granted for the ordinary webmaster, in the age of Twitter,
Facebook and YouTube, building your own personal autoresponder
lists have taken a backseat to these social networking sites
which obviously builds your subscriber list for you. But these
are third-party sites controlling your subscribers and while they
more or less eliminates the whole notion of unwanted spam, they
do present issues regarding the use of these lists.
Coming from the old school of marketing, I realized the
importance of my lists from the start. I also realized the most
difficult part of building a list was not getting the
subscribers, but connecting in some way with them and building
trusting relationships with lists in the tens of thousands is not
an easy thing to accomplish.
List building in regards to affiliate marketing is of special
interest to me since I am a full-time affiliate marketer and
anything which makes my job easier I will try. Like most
affiliate marketers, I have created niche sites dealing with the
products and services which I promote. One major component of
these sites is the list building element. On almost all my sites
I try to capture my visitor's contact information to give
follow-up information which lets me market to these subscribers
in a very subtle way.
The important thing here is to offer free ebooks, guides or
e-courses in order to capture this contact information before
these customers are sent along to the merchant's site. This is
the "old squeeze page" which many online marketers use in order
to build their own list of potential prospects for their offers.
This must be a "win-win" situation for everyone involved so I
like connecting these lists to special sales, coupons and deals
which are offered by the merchants. These customers can get
$100's off the price of the products featured so that they end
up with a good deal and you end up with a sale.
All this couldn't be possible if you didn't build your list of
targeted clients or customers looking for the products you're
promoting. List building in this area has proven very effective
for my affiliate marketing, so effective I try to put my
subscriber form or box on all my webpages. So if you're an
affiliate marketer who is sending your visitors directly to your
merchant's site, think again, and see if building or capturing
your visitor's contact information is worth your while? If done
properly, this can be an excellent way of increasing your sales
and commissions.
Another form of list building which I believe too many affiliate
marketers take for granted is the powerful little "cookie". For
those not in the business, a cookie is simply a piece of code
which identifies your referrals as belonging to you or your
affiliate ID, if a sale is made immediately or for any time in
the future you will get credit for the sale because you referred
the customer or client.
Now, the trick here is to pick affiliate products and programs
which have a 90 Day Cookie or more; if a sale is made in those 90
days you get credit for the sale. The longer the length the
better, there are even some products and companies which give
life-time cookies.
Why is this so important you ask?
Well, if you have a popular site you can quickly build up a long
list of potential customers cookied with your affiliate IDs. The
larger the list, the more sales you will make. Affiliate
marketing is a numbers game, the more numbers you have, the
easier it is to succeed. I have found this so profitable that I
try to "cookie" all the lists I build in the process mentioned
above, so that all these potential customers have my affiliate
IDs attached.
So it doesn't take a genius to realize, used in combination,
this can be an extremely profitable form of list building which
every affiliate marketer should be doing if they haven't already
figured out this simple marketing strategy. Build your lists,
cookie your lists, and then sit back and reap the rewards.
