Affiliate Marketing Sales Page
Once you have decided on an affiliate product that
you
wish to build a web site about or add to your web site. Now you need to
create the Affiliate product “Sales Page”.
Research your product.
If you haven’t yet done so, you need to
thoroughly
research the product or service you will be trying to sell. As I have
stated in previous pages, it is a good idea to use the affiliate
product first and become familiar with the features. If this is not
possible, then try to imagine using the product, read the affiliate
programs sales copy, and try to find reviews on the product or service.
What do you like about the affiliate product or
service?
What don’t you like about it? Make a list of the pros and
cons.
You will need both to create an effective sales page. It has been found
that you will generate much more consumer trust in the item you are
trying to sell if you are writing an objective description of the
product. That includes adding a few of the things you think could be
improved on.
100% positive affiliate recommendations rarely
look genuine
Know your target audience
It helps if you are well familiar with the type of
person you are trying to sell to. Emphasize the benefits
that your
affiliate product or service will give to the potential buyer. It is
often better to spend more time on the benefits of the product or
service and less on the features of the product. Help you visitor
visualize owning or using your affiliate product.
Assure the visitor of how easy and safe it is to
buy from the affiliate company. This is a great time to tell them how
happy
you were with the sales experience. Describe a few of the features you
found of most benefit when you started using the affiliated product.
Try to create a trust in both you and the product you are selling.
Call to action
When designing the sales page for you affiliate
product, it is important to make the "Call to Action"
clear
to your web site visitor. Don't leave them wondering what you want
them to do or how to do it. This doesn't mean use a flashing red
and yellow banner! But, make your call in a slightly larger print, with
a
brighter or a contrasting color. Often a simple "Buy Here"
link will work very well. Once they are ready, there can be little
question where to go when this link is prominent on the page.
When you link to the affiliate programs site, it
is better to link to the buy page or the page for product you are
selling directly and not
to the front page of the affiliate program site. Once the
website visitor has clicked on your link to the affiliate product sales
page they are ready to buy, don’t make them change their mind
by having
to hunt for the product or service.
