This
article discusses of the methods you’ve probably not heard of, whereas other
methods you’ve thought would never work. In a real essence, it’s really only a
matter of doing it right and you can make a living off affiliate marketing. Which
is really fascinating, because you can earn big commissions just promoting
products you DON’T even have to create! Of course, like everything else in
life, it takes multiple practices to reach the top level.
But
I assure you that through the coming pages, I can help you reduce your learning
curve significantly and you will make less guesswork… and mistakes! I have
written this article as short and precise as possible. Because I know you’re a
very busy individual (and it takes no guess), and above all, I also know that
you’re excited and that you can hardly wait.
Without
further ado, let’s quickly cover the methods you can use in boosting your
affiliate promotion… and the commissions!
How to Using Classified
Ads
The
process of using classified ads to generate sales for any product – whether it
be an original product or an affiliate product – is often over-simplified and
discouraged. This is, in part, because it actually is one of the harder ways in
which you can advertise. It requires you to use a small amount of words to
communicate an important point,which will either make or break your ability to
garner interest in the product in question. In most cases, supposed experts
will discourage you from using classified ads because they themselves have
never had much luck using them – NOT because classified ads aren’t a viable
method of advertising.
Classified
advertising is a truly great business building tool you can use to generate
dozens and dozens of leads for your service business. Whether your target market(s)
is based locally or further away there are publications, trade magazines,
newsletters, and newspapers that will be read by your prospects. Placing small
ads in the classified advertising section of these publications will generate
leads for you.
Writing Your First
Classified Ad
Classified
ad writing can be considered an art form due to the fact that you have very
limited space advertise to leads. Your goal should be to post often and get to
the point quickly. Here my tips that can help you compose your classified ad in
a way that will generate leads. This will work for paid and free ads alike.
Target
Your Prospects It's imperative that you target your prospects. If you are
writing your classified ad in a way that targets everyone then you will not
reach anyone.Your objective should be to focus on your target group and address
their pain points.Focus on your niche market and write your ad in a way that
directly correlates with what they need.
You
should be thinking about the age, gender, lifestyle, and income group you are
looking to target.When you figure out your group target write you classified as
in a way that directly speaks to them. In the end this will give you the best
opportunity to generate targeted prospects for your business that are looking
to buy.
Have
an Amazing Headline A headline alone can make or break an ad.You should spend
your time focusing on a headline that is going to capture this groups
attention.Once you have figured out the group you want to target you want to
compose a headline that's going to get them to click. Your headline to explain
what's in it for them if they click.
Although
you won't have much space for a long headline it should be written in a way
that gets their attention and makes them want to click to learn more.Your
headline should be unique, ultra-specific, useful to their problem, and should
create a sense of urgency in their minds.If you can write a headline that
covers these four things you can get targeted prospects clicking your ad for
more. Even if you can cover two out of the four your chances of them clicking
are better than none.
If
you take the time to master these two things you will be well on your way to
getting the most out of your efforts. Do not forget to focus on your target
group and move them emotionally.People respond to words that can get them
thinking or make them feel a certain way.If you can connect with them on an
emotional level you can get them to click and potentially gain a customer for
life.
Remember! Make It Simple
but Work
With
classifieds, you’re not paying by the click. It’s either free or you’re paying
for a certain period of time or impressions, so your goal should be to generate
as many clicks as possible, so use words like “cheap,” “free,” “proven,” and
“shocking” to draw attention to your ad.
Once
you have successfully drawn attention to your ad through the headline, you will
then want to seal the deal by providing viewers with a reason to click through,
provided that your affiliate product is something they will want to buy. You
can do this by explicitly stating a quantifiable benefit in the second line of
the classified ad – and then stating a crucial feature in the third line. Once
you have gained some experience posting ads on free classified ad mediums, you
will want to move on to major electronic publications, including large e-zines
and authority sites; however, before you do this, you could be confident in the
classified ad and your conversion rate.
