Why Social Networks Are An Excellent Opportunity

(Re-published)

Social networks provide an excellent opportunity for affiliate marketers and can provide a large amount of direct sales.

In fact, one of the simplest ways to start making money as an affiliate marketer is to pay for targeted Facebook ads and to send people who click on them to a landing page that sell the product you are promoting as an affiliate marketer.
As long as you get the targeting and the CPP correct, you can generate profit immediately and scale it up as much as you need to.

But if you want to go further than this, then you need to start using your skills as a social media marketer in order to build trust with an audience and to spread your message to get maximum clicks and buys.

Sharing The Lifestyle

Once you have started to build up an audience for your social media profile, the next thing you need to do is to start generating interest, engagement and trust.
Most likely, people who started following you on social media did so because they were interested in the industry/niche that you are active in. As such, your next step is to get them excited about the industry or niche and to demonstrate your experience and expertise.

Selling make money programs? Then post pictures of your laptop with mugs of tea in coffee shops, or of your working from comfortable hammocks. Selling fitness supplements? Then post motivational status updates and images of attractive people working out.

Over time, this will get people who have an interest in your products more curious and it will show off the kinds of things you are promising to be able to do for them.

Writing Reviews

To start clinching actual sales, one of the first things to start doing is writing reviews. These reviews can be written straight onto your social media as posts, or you can share links to blogs and articles where you review products. Either way, now you have built up some trust and got attention, people should be more likely to click and to read.

Some Tips And Rules

The temptation now is going to be to give rave reviews to any product you can find with an affiliate scheme. While this can certainly be a profitable approach though, it is also very much short-sighted. This way, you will quickly lose the respect of your followers and you may even be seen as a spammer.

Instead, try to find affiliate schemes for products you genuinely believe in – and be sure to provide genuine advice on who the product is for. You are providing a service by finding and recommending products to the audience you have built – keep this in mind and you will succeed!

Wrapping Up

This is just in short what you can do for more direct sales as an affiliate marketer.

My favorite social media network is Twitter. Facebook and Facebook groups are great but with Twitter you will normally get much more views.

Most important and plays the role between failure and success is trust. Trust is something you can’t cut off, you must build trust with your followers. If you don’t build any trust, you will not sell anything and your earnings will be zero.

Sharing something about you, and your lifestyle is a very good idea to build trust and interest. One other thing you can do to build trust is to post interesting blog posts and articles from other sources that will interest your followers. This will make a good excuse for your followers to coming back to your social media network sites. Do not always sell, if you do, you will lose all trust.

Reviews are also a good idea to let people find you, and know you as a influencer and grow hacker in your industry with much knowledge.
