One of the quickest and easiest ways to get started making money online is by sending Pay Per Click (PPC) traffic to affiliate offers. It is great because you can instantly get traffic and you do not have to develope your own product.
But as easy as it sounds, many people struggle with this method and end up losing money in the end. There are several reasons for this and here are a couple tips to help you succeed with PPC to Affiliate offers:
1. Know your costs before you get started. You can do this by doing some quick math on the offer you plan on promoting. Lets say you are using an affiliate offer that pays you $30 per sale. To be safe, let’s say that the offer converts at 1%. So, you will get 1 sale per 100 clicks. Of course in order to make money you will need to pay less than $.30 per click ($30/100=.30).
By knowing this before you get started you can instantly boost your chances of being successful with your PPC campaign. Once you start promoting the offer you may discover that it is actually converting at 2%. You now know that you will get 2 sales per 100 clicks and you need to keep your bid under $.60 per click in order to make money ($60/100=.60).
2. Track your conversions. When you first start your PPC campaign you have to somewhat guess as to which keywords will convert. But after you start getting clicks you need to immediately determine which keywords are bringing you sales and which are not. More importantly, you need to determine which keywords are profitable and which are not…and ditch the non-profitable keywords quick. Many people let bad keywords run for too long in hopes that they will become profitable and it kills their campaigns profitability. Ditch bad keywords as soon as possible.
There are many tools that will help you track conversions but you can do it by yourself. If you are promoting a Clickbank product you can use the TID feature to give each keyword a unique number or just ask the product owner if they will put your Google Adwords tracking code on their thank you page (smart product owners will have no problem doing this for you).
3. Use review pages. Instead of sending your clicks directly to the affiliate offer, use a review page. This is a great way to pre-sell the prospect and will almost always increase your conversions. On your review page you can either compare several products and let the prospect know which is best or you can give a testimonial for the product describing how you used it with great results.
