When it comes to affiliate marketing there are strategies to it. By the way affiliate marketing is promoting another person's product(s) and gain commission on a successful sale or desired action.
A lot of Nigerians make mistake in affiliate marketing. This is the mistake they make: As they are introduced to affiliate marketing, they get registered with an affiliate marketing website or company that offer affiliate commission.The next thing they start spamming their affiliate links all over the internet. Posting their links all over social media. I have been there before. Would there be result from such indiscriminate posting of affiliate links. The answer is NO. Even though there is any result, the result will be minimal. Why?
A lot of people are afraid of clicking on links on social media and even though few people click, they don't buy the product you are promoting. Because they don't trust you and the owner or vendor of the products.
The psychology behind buying a product is based on Trust.
1. They should trust the credibility of the vendor, that they will not be scammed at the end of the day.
2. They should trust the product to perform to expectation.
3. They should trust your affiliate link enough to click on it that it is not a fishing link.
As an affiliate marketer, building trust is very paramount to the success of your affiliate promotions. How do you build trust? There are several ways of doing that. I will show you step by on how to build trust, maybe in my next post. It is going to be a topic on its own.
I like to congratulate myself, I finally created my affiliate account with Clickbank. Now I can promote products on Clickbank and withdraw my earnings here in Nigeria. It was not easy anyway but at last I succeeded.
