Niche marketing

Proven ways to drive targeted affiliate traffic.

An affiliate marketer may have all the things needed for him to be able to succeed in a business such as niche affiliate marketing.

He may have all the tools necessary in maintaining the business, including a really unique and interesting niche website which could earn him a fortune if only the whole world could see it.  However, all these would prove useless if he does not know how to drive traffic to his niche website.  His business would sink into oblivion together with all the sales, fortune and dreams that he might have realized if he only knew how to do this particular task.

Getting people who matter to see one’s niche website is a difficult undertaking if he tries to consider the fact that there are rivals everywhere waiting to pin him down.  The immensity of the internet as well as the affiliate marketing world has given birth to the fierce competition between affiliate marketers, each of whom has his own great product to offer. 

With all the websites piling on top of each other, how would one be able to stand out? 

The seven best ways to drive laser-targeted traffic to one’s own website would help those who are bent on sticking it out with this business wherever it is bound to take them.

First Strategy

The first step in driving traffic to one’s niche website is by relying on search engines and what they can do for the affiliate marketer concerned.  Because they are popular for driving free targeted traffic, they should not be ignored by all means.  Having top search engine rankings is vital in building popularity links, and the use of the right keywords is important in attaining this goal.  Once a website is on top of the list, it is easily accessible to anyone who wants to see it for himself.

Second Strategy

The second way in driving traffic to one’s niche website is by contacting other webmasters for a possible link exchange partnership.  Locating websites that are related to one’s own website is the primary task.  Once there, he should be able to establish communication by personalizing everything as much as possible.  It is then possible to make reciprocal link exchanges between webmasters whichever way the affiliate marketer prefers.

Third Strategy

The third way is through writing one’s own niche articles.  This is an effective way in promoting a website, because good content that are appreciated by readers will lead them to visit the writer’s very own website out of sheer interest.

Fourth Strategy

The fourth way is through joint venture marketing.  This is one of the most effective ways of promoting a product or a service.  Having a partner through ad swap or link exchange is beneficial to both parties as it allows them to reach a wide customer base in a short amount of time.

Fifth Strategy

The fifth is through joining niche  affiliate programs.  Having affiliates to do the work means allowing them to bring tons of traffic to a website.  Skyrocketing sales would be realized as a result, and both the affiliate and the website owner will benefit from the situation.

Sixth Strategy

The sixth is by having a list of subscribers that one can refer to every so often, because they are those which would prove to be valuable assets for the marketer concerned.  The use of autoresponders and personalized newsletters is one way of keeping track of them all, and holding on to them by letting them know about new products and services is an essential task that should be done by the affiliate marketer concerned.

Seventh Strategy

The seventh is by knowing one’s niche market through and through.  It is important for traffic to be targeted to those who might have a special interest in the theme or topic of one’s website.  This way, a solid customer base is going to be created.  Once a potential customer shows an interest in a particular website by paying it a visit, one must not waste time in trying to show him that his effort is worth it.

Traffic generating strategies are important in trying to make one’s niche affiliate marketing career inch forward.  It is always advantageous to plan one’s moves in any business that he might undertake.  This is particularly so in niche affiliate marketing.  If one knows how to get people to see what he has to offer, then he is on the right track.

If you Need more business? What strategies you adopt. What are tactics? You Decision Matters.

I don’t Say these strategies which I discuss below are long term business strategies. These are short to medium term tactics designed to put cash in your bank account.

Hire a salesperson

Or, if you already have salespeople, hire another one. You may not be able to pay them a salary, so make it for 100% commission, and make the commission generous. And of course, pay their expenses. This will work best if you have a sales process in place, and some kind of systematized knowledge that will bring them up to speed quickly.

Get some sales training

The Sandler Selling System is great for simple sales. Mike Bosworths Customer Centric Selling is great for complex sales. Of course there are many others, and any good sales training program will get your sales off whatever dime you are stuck on.

Start a referral program

This doesnt mean simply ask for referrals, but do it routinely. Do it systematically. Have a method to ask, and have a method to reward people who do refer.

Add products to your back end

The costliest part is getting new customers. Why not maximize your investment and sell those customers additional products and services.

If you sell a service, consider adding products that compliment it.

If you sell products, adding services is even easier.

If you sell free-form consulting, consider bundling specific services into a “”productized”" form. Give it a name, make the price fixed. Typically the “”productizing”" and fixed price enables you to sell at higher prices than previously.

Raise your prices

Most people undervalue what they do and charge way too little for it. And many others discount from their “”list”" at the drop of a hat. Stop discounting, but if you must, always get something in exchange. Think tradeoffs. And raise your rates for services and products both.

Joint ventures

Find people who have something you need, like products, or customers and trade with them. Pool your resources. Pool your time. Create something larger than either of you. Make it a win-win.

Strategic alliances

How does this differ from above? A strategic alliance partner is only involved in one aspect of your business – in other words, they may source leads or product. A joint venture partner is a deeper involvement. Youll work more closely on more aspects.

Referral fees

You probably make these referrals anyway. Now get paid for them.

Affiliate programs

This is simply the systemized approach to referral fees, and on the internet is THE way to do business.

Take your white papers or articles and collect them into a special report which can be used for marketing purposes, or sold outright as its own revenue center.

Sell a subscription to your service

Lock in the revenue and accelerate the payments. Then give them special bonuses or super-service for being subscribers, or members.

Create bundles out of all your existing products

Put things together and offer special pricing. This may lower your “”per unit”" revenue, but it will increase average transaction size, as well as total revenue.

The Rolodex routine

This means going through your Rolodex, name-by-name, and calling everyone who looks promising. For something. For selling, for networking, for referrals, even for “”how do you do.”"

Conduct a survey

Ask your client base questions. This process will get you great information about your market, and it will always bring you “”unexpected”" business.

Offer your services or products at a silent or charity auction

While this wont bring in money immediately, it will almost always expand your client base.

Offer to let key influencers give away some of your time, product.

If you have a service

consider turning your hard-won expertise into an educational course. This could be an e-course, a tele-course, printed home study course, even a live seminar or bootcamp.

Publish an ebook

Ebooks are a great way to promote your business and generate quick revenue.

Speak, speak, speak

Especially if you are a master of your individual expertise, speaking is a sure-fire way to bring in additional business.

Write articles

Articles and speaking compliment each other perfectly. Not only write those articles, but get them published. Anywhere you can.

Focus your market

Many people try to cover too much ground. By becoming a noted expert in a tightly-defined market niche, you can increase the power of all your marketing efforts, bringing in more business for each marketing dollar you spend.

Shift into an adjacent market.

Sometimes your market niche is exhausted, and sometimes they are just plain broke. A shift into an adjacent market niche can bring you all kinds of new business.

Internet is World of Information I agree!

The Internet is like a river of prospects flowing by your web site every minute of every day. If you put a net in, in the right place and at the right time, you will get your catch.

To make that catch (getting more business and higher profit) here’s what you need:

A Well Thought Out Plan - the proper tools and knowledge to be successful.

 

An Effective Web Site – the right information that is easy to find.

 

Visibility For Your Web Site - assuring your web site is found and seen.

 

Ongoing Promotion – consistent and meaningful online marketing.

Here’s how it works.

* A Well Thought Out Plan – the proper tools and knowledge.

Success does not happen by accident, luck, or chance on the Internet. A well thought out plan of action is necessary to actively bring new prospects to your Business On The Internet.

This plan should include your goals for what kind of response you expect, a timeline, a definition of responsibilities, and a commitment to fulfill it. All of these elements are crucial to your success.

Your plan should also analyze your current web site and then determine the course of action to drive targeted prospects to you. You need to know whether to use Pay Per Click services, linking strategies, online advertising, or regular Search Engine Optimizing to achieve your goals.

When you develop an Internet plan for a business it is essential to enlist the help of someone who is knowledgeable about the Internet and Internet Marketing. Your front office staff, even your marketing staff, won’t have the required knowledge to efficiently develop this plan unless they are specifically experienced in the unique environment of the Internet.

* An Effective Web Site – the right information that is easy to find.

Your web site should motivate your potential client to pick up the phone or e-mail you and establish contact by requesting more information about how you can help them.

A business web site needs to demonstrate specific knowledge about the real concerns of your prospects, as well as generate general trust through testimonials and a personal touch. Technology and graphic design will not motivate prospects to contact you, only their trust in your ability to solve their problems will.

What is an effective business web site?

An effective web site is one that provides easy-to-find answers to your visitor’s questions.

Generally a website should be specialized and targeted to a particular area of business as much as possible. It should not overwhelm the visitor with information. You can have as many web sites as you need to make sure you promote each area of your business properly and efficiently.

Key factors involved are the organization of the site, site navigation, and the appropriate information presented in a way that inspires trust. The number one factor in creating an effective web site is in knowing your clients. Your site should target the key concerns of your clients and catch their interest by providing them enough information to show them specifically how you can help them, and then conveying to them that you are willing to do so.

* Visibility For Your Web Site – assuring your web site is found and seen.

If people can’t find you when they need you, you are invisible.

Search engines will bring people to your web site – but ONLY if you are there, and near the top of the results. It is important that your web site becomes seen the moment your potential client is looking for you. You will rarely get a second chance.

Within search engines there are free listings and paid listings, and you need to use both. It can be extremely difficult and competitive to come up in the free listings so it is usually necessary to use the paid services, often called pay-per-click.

In using pay-per-click services the key to drawing people to your web site is in writing effective ads and using the right keywords that people search for. To get people to click on your ad, businesses need to know the “psychology” of their potential clients and what drives them to want to visit your web site. These ads are very short, so they must be punchy and motivating.

If your business isn’t actively involved in maintaining your visibility on the Internet then it is likely you will be invisible. Your competition will be there, but you won’t, and your web site will be wasted.

It is critical that you understand that without increasing visibility for your web site you will not achieve significant results. There is more involved than just search engines, but that is the primary area that will consistently bring you a regular stream of visitors to your web site.

* Ongoing Promotion – consistent and meaningful online marketing.

You will need to consistently promote your web site through online marketing or your results will steadily decline over time.

Ongoing promotion and marketing often involves paid advertising through pay-per-click, search engine optimization, domain name strategies, linking campaigns, and web site improvement.

Your pay-per-click campaigns should be monitored and adjusted regularly, for both your bidding strategies and ad effectiveness. You may need to change your web pages periodically to reflect changes in search engine results, and you should widen your reach through newly developing opportunities that present themselves on the Internet as they become available.

Ongoing promotion should involve tracking your results, trying new approaches, and following up by doing what works best for you. It can mean the difference between a successful business, and a thriving and expanding business.

A pillar article is usually a tutorial style article aimed to teach your audience something. Generally they are longer than 500 words and have lots of very practical tips or advice. This article you are currently reading could be considered a pillar article since it is very practical and a good “how-to” lesson. This style of article has long term appeal, stays current (it isn’t news or time dependent) and offers real value and insight. The more pillars you have on your blog the better.

Now here’s my definition and format examples of how to write good blog content.

What Is A Pillar Article?

A pillar is blog content, usually an article, which does some very important things:

• It will bring in a rush of new readers and backlinks (other sites linking to your blog).
• It will continue to bring in more readers over time as you and other people refer to it, even though it may be buried in the archives of your blog.
• Eventually it will bring in traffic from search engines (this is largely because so many other web pages link to it).
• You can list it in a separate area (like an articles page) with all your other pillars so your best content can easily be accessed and your value clearly demonstrated.
• It is not time dependent, so in twelve months’ time it will still be relevant and popular.

How Do You Create A Pillar?

There is no exact formula for producing an article that will become a pillar, however there are definitely some key characteristics you can work on. You may be surprised when articles you write become pillars when you didn’t expect it, or the reverse where you pour your heart into a great article and it doesn’t do much for your traffic at all.

Here are typical pillar article concepts that you can post to your blog:

1. The “How-To” Article

This is a staple pillar article concept. Think about your industry and write an article that teaches how to do something in it. Be certain to only write how-to articles on topics you genuinely understand how to do and have experience with.

Some possible examples:

• If you are a marketing consultant, write some advice on how to market a business using no money.
• If you blog about dogs, write how to choose an appropriate dog name.
• If you blog about how to write a book, produce a how-to guide on approaching publishers.
• If you blog about food, write recipe guides on how to prepare popular dishes.
• If you blog about your life, write how-to guides on self development from the life lessons you have learnt (e.g. How you got a job, how you dealt with breaking up with your boyfriend, etc.).

It should be reasonably obvious which how-to topics are popular and relevant to your audience and which you feel capable of explaining well. Remember to tell a story if you can!

2. The Definition Article

Many industries have key concepts which new readers won’t know. If a concept is complicated, produce a pillar article that defines the concept, clearly explaining what it means and how it can be implemented.

It may seem simple and obvious to you, but remember you are an expert in your field, so explain it to the newbies in simple terms and, of course, try and tell a story as an example.

A glossary definition page is a good pillar article. If there are a handful of key concepts in your industry, write an article that lists the concepts and provides a one-paragraph definition for each. A resource page like this is good as a reference piece and often referred back to by other bloggers and websites.

You may say why bother doing this if most terms are already defined elsewhere on the web at sites like Wikipedia?

It’s okay to link to other websites for definitions, especially in the short term when you are just getting things set up, but it’s a lot better if you write your own definitions. It keeps readers on your blog, increases your pageviews (the total number of pages of your blog readers view) and visitor length (how long readers stay at your blog).

You can describe a concept in your own words, using your own unique story and voice. This helps to build credibility and trust.

It’s always smarter to include your own version of a definition if you are capable of explaining a term or concept, rather than link to other sites and drive traffic away from your blog.

3. Present a Theory or Argument

If you blog about politics, writing an article discussing your theories about communism, democracy or capitalism can make a great pillar article.

The important thing here is to present some unique thought. Give your opinion on a major issue in your industry, or even on a mainstream topic that you suspect your readers will take an interest in.

Try not to simply rehash what other people have said and clearly present your own thesis argument. Stimulate conversation, perhaps controversy, about a topic that is often discussed and is not time-dependent and you will draw traffic to your blog.

4. Create a resource like a free report, whitepaper or e-course

This is one of my favorite pillar concepts. A document such as a whitepaper (a small document, 2-10 pages, which teaches how to do something) or a series of articles combined to create a course, is a fantastic pillar.

You have a couple of options to present this information:

• Create a PDF which your readers can download. The benefit of this method is that the file can be shared easily (forwarded through email for example) and you may benefit from viral marketing effects, especially if you produce a top quality e-book or report.
• Type the content into several blog posts and interlink them together. You can also highlight them as a stand-alone series in your archives or articles page.

5. One of the most popular pillar concepts is a List Article

You have probably seen many of these at other blogs. The usual titles are “Top 7 Ways To…” or “10 Tips To Improve…” etc. These work well for a couple of reasons –

1. Lists are easily digested by human beings. It’s been tested and proven that articles in the 300-700 word range with lots of clear dot-point bulleted lists and a compelling headline are good traffic pullers. In this case it’s all about simplicity of consumption for people with short attention spans – i.e. most web surfers.
2. Lists provide directly actionable lessons and people love to share lists with other people. Consequently list articles are often linked to by other bloggers and added to social bookmarking sites that drive traffic.

Provided your list follows all the standard pillar concept rules – timeless, original content, problem solving ideas – and you keep it directly applicable to your audience, most lists will become pillars.

Be wary of doing lists of topics well covered by other people or on really simple concepts. As usual the more “you” included through stories and a unique style, the more likely your list will perform well.

6. A Technical Blueprint

A technical blueprint is very much like a how-to or a whitepaper, but is focused on the technical aspects of a problem. Technology-focused bloggers are good at blueprint pillar articles because they love to use graphs, spreadsheets and images to demonstrate how to do something.

A technical blueprint is a step-by-step, visually enhanced article demonstrating exactly how to complete a task. Often the pictures tell the story more than the words do. Designers and programmers use this style of blog post to show how they code a website, design an image using Photoshop, code software, or simpler activities like attach a file to an email.

You can apply the principle to almost any industry that has common tasks which may be complex to understand. In this case it’s more about the imagery and less about the story.

All parties are working towards presenting relevant and high quality information in an easy to use format to information seekers, and whereas SEO practitioners are being contracted to assist clients in obtaining higher rankings for client pages, we (and those linking to this page) are voluntarily adhering to the below SEO Code of Ethics:

No SEO practitioner will intentionally do harm to a client. This involves the continued use of any technology or procedure (without appropriate care) that is known to result in having the client site removed from search engine indexes or directories, or rendered inoperative. Questionable adherence to standards must be addressed via the Robots Exclusion Standard.

No SEO practitioner will intentionally violate any specifically published and enforced rules of search engines or directories. Should rules and guidelines change (as they often do), the SEO practitioner will promptly take action to comply with the changes as they apply to all clients. Where rules and guidelines are unclear, the SEO practitioner will seek clarification and await approval from the appropriate search engine before continuing to utilize potentially harmful technology or procedures.

No SEO practitioner will intentionally mislead, harm, or offend a consumer. All individuals utilizing a search engine to visit a site will not be misled by the information presented to or by the search engine, or harmed or offended upon arrival at the client site. This includes techniques like “bait and switch” where the client page does not substantially contain and is not clearly associated with the optimized phrase, or may be reasonably offensive to targeted visitors.

No SEO practitioner will intentionally violate any laws. This involves the deliberate and continued violation of copyright, trademark, servicemark, or laws related to spamming as they may exist at the state, federal, or international level.

No SEO practitioner will falsely represent the content of the client site. This includes the practice of presenting different versions of web pages to different users except where that information is altered solely to meet browser specifications and needs, sensitivity to regional factors such as language, or product specific needs. In general, ALL requests for a specific URL should be served identical HTML by the web server.

No SEO practitioner will falsely represent others work as their own. This includes the taking of work from others in whole or in part and representing this work as their own. The SEO practitioner may not make verbatim copies of the work of others (instead of authoring original work) without the prior consent of the other party.

No SEO practitioner will misrepresent their own abilities, education, training, standards of performance, certifications, trade group affiliations, technical inventory, or experiences to others. This includes quantifiable statements related to project timetables, performance history, company resources (staff, equipment, and proprietary products), and client lists. Guarantees will be restricted to items over which the SEO practitioner has significant and reasonable control.

No SEO practitioner will participate in a conflict of interest without prior notice to all parties involved. This includes the practice of choosing to emphasize one client over another in competing keywords because there is more personal gain for the practitioner. All clients are treated equally and all will receive equal best effort in their Search Engine Optimization.

No SEO practitioner will set unreasonable client expectations. This includes the practice of accepting more than a reasonable number of clients competing for the same keywords and implying that all will be in the top positions in the search engines. This also includes the implication that results can be obtained in an unreasonable amount of time given the known condition of the search engines, client site, and competition.

All SEO practitioners will offer their clients both internal and external dispute resolution procedures. This includes the publishing of address and phone numbers on primary web pages, the inclusion of third-party dispute resolution links prominently placed within the practitioners web site, and contracts that include sections discussing dispute resolution.

All SEO practitioners will protect the confidentiality and anonymity of their clients with regards to privileged information and items implying testimonial support for the SEO practitioner. All staff of SEO practitioner shall be bound to protect information that is not generally known as it may harm the client. The SEO practitioner will not include the publishing of testimonials and proprietary logos of client lists, press releases, and other collateral discussing the client without explicit approvals.

All SEO practitioners will work to their best ability to increase or retain the rankings of client sites. Clients are contracting for fee with the SEO practitioner in order to obtain and retain search engine placement. The SEO practitioner is charged with an obligation to utilize appropriate and allowed technology and methodologies to improve and retain the rankings for their clients in the face of shifting search engine technology, competition, and client web site needs.

Some big changes to Google’s algorithm has been made by the arrival of 2013. Now time demands that you should also bring changes in strategies of optimizing your blog for search engines. This post will cover some important SEO strategies for your blog which will work in 2013.

 Safe Backlinking-Build Backlinks Carefully

A little mistake in strategy of building backlinks may result your blog to disappear from search results. Google has taken this issue very seriously. Many blogs got penalized in earliest update of 2013 from Google. Some of them lost their rankings for some specific parts while some lost ranking for their entire content. One of the big reasons behind this was the unnatural backlink profile. Most bloggers put their blog links anywhere without looking up the source or the page, but you should remember this fact in your mind that only backlinks from highly relevant sources will work for your blog SEO. A slight irrelevant backlink is not only valueless, it may even invite Google to penalize your blog also. It doesn’t matter that how good the PR of the source is.

Increase Domain Authority

Backlinks linking to root domain (http://yourblog.com) are more useful than deep-links (http://yourblog.com/yourpost). While building backlinks to your blog, try to increase links to your root domain and then link internally to your posts and pages. It doesn’t mean that deep linking is not necessary. You should also build links to your posts and pages but your first priority should be building links to root domain. This will give your domain high ranking and your posts will get ranked automatically.

 www and non www Backlinks

This is one of the secrets of SEO and you should take it seriously while building backlinks to your blog. Bloggers sometimes put URL with www and sometimes without www in their links. e.g: www.yourdomain.com or yourdomain.com. But when you build some links to www.yourdomain.com and some more links to yourdomain.com, search engines take both of these two versions separately and you are unable to get a combined powerful SEO benefit from your backlinks. So it is not recommended to building links to different versions of your URLs. Use the same version of the URL whenever you go for building backlinks to your blog.

 Anchor Text and Backlinks

Anchor text is the hyper-linked text behind which your link is placed. You should be careful regarding this also in 2013. Enormous backlinks with same anchor text may force search engines to consider your link building profile as spam. So build links by using synonyms and other related words to your keywords as anchor text to avoid any possible risk.

Safe Way to Back Links in 2013

Guest blogging is the most useful and safe strategy to build backlinks to your blog. Find a good ranked blog under your niche and ask there to write for them. The links from guest posts will never develop any risk for your blog.

Another way is forum signature links but be careful in this technique. As you are getting links from your forum signature, it means that all links will be generated from the same anchor text. So build links from forums but don’t overdo this practice to stay safe.

Blog commenting is good when you get backlinks from do-follow blogs. Search for some do-follow blogs under your niche and then participate the discussion there. You will get some quality backlinks by doing this which are safer and valuable to your blog.

These were some most important link building strategies for your blog in 2013 which are least discussed. You must consider these tips during building backlinks to your blog.

Best of luck!

Umar

Optimizing the release for the focus keywords and submitted with the right service is a good strategy – especially when combined with an on-going PR effort to build excitement for news and participate in reviews, stories and roundups.”
