You’ve heard it before…Content marketing to influence your ideal audience is the fuel to social media.

For that reason…

Marketers are always thinking about how to get their ideal clients to engage with their content online.

Your audience can’t know what you do and how you can solve their problems until…

You know your audience so well that you can offer practical solutions. because you understand what is driving them.

  • That means you need to explore what’s in their heart, not just their head.
  • Walk in their shoes and get more curious about the solutions you could offer.

What is Affiliate Marketing?

Affiliate Marketing is a revenue Joint Venture between two businesses.

email marketingAnd, it is a form of Online Marketing

Say your business pays another business (who is your affiliate now) for sending new customers to your site. Like referring them.

  • An example is having your affiliate host your ad on their website, or send out emails for your product.

When potential customers find your business through the affiliate link (they click the url or the ad), you pay the affiliate a percentage of the income you receive.

  • The affiliate benefits by being paid to host your ad, or share your link with their email list.
  • Your business benefits by getting potential new customers. And, building your list.

List Building OnlineOne of the most challenging steps to making money online is to build a list, a ‘responsive’ opt in list is your real goal. Not just “Build a List.”

  • The money is in the list, right? We’ve been hearing that since day 1 of Internet Marketing 101.

Yes, it is in the list, or more accurately, the ‘relationship’ with the list.

  • So once you have a list started, you begin email marketing…

I’ve read that a large (95%) percentage of people subscribing to your list will probably never purchase what you have to offer whether it is affiliate programs or your own products/services. But that’s OK – as you keep in touch, you’ll build that relationship with more of your education marketing to your list.

And, the more you keep in touch with your list in positive ways,  each person will start to trust, like and find you credible, then more will step up.

==> That’s one of the reasons we are persistent!

  • In order to build any list you need to entice visitors to your blog, website or landing page with something of very high value. Read more →
