Become a Unique Affiliate

Today affiliate marketing is considered an easy and effective business model for online entrepenuers. Tens of thousands of people are marketing as affiliates and the competition is becoming fierce. You must develop a strategy to set yourself apart from the crowd. Here are a few tactics to distinguish yourself as a unique affiliate.

To establish yourself as a professional affiliate marketer, it is essential that you have your own website. Your potential customers are seeking information that will satisfy a need or solve a problem. Your website will provide information and recommendations for exactly what they are seeking.

You should purchase the product and use it. There is no substitute for personal experience. There is no better way to establish your expertise and credibility as an affiliate. Be sure to point out any weaknesses in the product, as well as it's strengths.

Merchants very often provide affiliates with pre-written copy for ads, signature lines and emails. Most affiliate marketers just copy and paste these and into their campaigns. Your target market may see the same headline and email copy over and over. A unique affiliate will use the pre-written material as a reference point for their campaign. Rewrite the copy. Be sure to include all the benefits and features from the merchants material, but make it your words. Whenever possible, personalize it a little. Tell your customer how the product helped you, or someone you know.

Create a unique product of your own. Don't panic, this is not as difficult as you might think. A short report about the problem that your merchant's product was created to solve will let your customer know that you understand their woes and want to help. Provide them with facts and figures about the problem. Offer commonly known solutions. Explain why your merchant's product is better than these well known remedies. You could also create a quick fix or short tutorial for something you found lacking in the product.

Package your report as a PDF document. You can create PDF's with this free tool: http://www.primopdf.com

Once you have created your report, offer it as an incentive to sign up for your list. This works best if you put together information about why the product is the right choice. If your product provides additional value for the merchant's product, you should offer it as a bonus for purchasing through your affiliate link.

If this sounds like a lot of work, you're right! Start with one carefully chosen product and get started. Once you have a list of customers and decent traffic to your site, find a related product. This is called niche marketing. Establish yourself as an expert and uniquely qualified affiliate in as many niches as you wish and watch your income grow.
