How Landing Pages Build Affiliate Money
All of the affiliate products that will earn you affiliate money are already online. Let me repeat that, all of the affiliate products that you hope to sell and earn affiliate money are already posted on the Internet. So why is a landing page necessary? All you have to do is insert a link on your website to another website. When your visitors click on that link and go to the merchant site, they buy and you get paid, right?
Well, maybe they buy and maybe they don’t. It depends on the merchant site’s ability to influence a sale. But know this, when your visitors leave your site, they are gone. Unless they opt-in to your mailing list, or return to your site, you may as well kiss them good-bye. So, your landing page is probably the most important page on your website, regarding sales and customers.
Why? Landing pages are simply web pages where visitors are directed to whenever they click a result in a web search or whenever they click a web ad. In affiliate marketing, your merchant’s landing pages refer to the web page where your potential customer is directed after clicking the affiliate link on your website. If you are using advertising or organic search to attract visitors, you better create a special landing page for the visitors.
Remember, an affiliate marketing program only pays you when your visitors convert to a paying customer. It’s running a closeout Sales ad in the sports section on last year’s model of Ping irons, without having a store where customers can come to buy the clubs. Your advertisement may entice and encourage people to purchase a product, but without a properly configured landing page, how will they know how to purchase the product?
It is a proven fact that most people buy after being approached seven times. A one-shot stop at your website puts you in a minority position.
Make sure to capture names and e-mail addresses and follow up with a series of automated messages to build a relationship with you that will influence a sale.
