Affiliate Marketing Strategies For Instagram


Most all marketing involves the same elements.
The two most important to master are traffic and conversion.
So, even though there are several different traffic sources that exist, the core strategy and you need to take to move people from a lead to a customer is very similar...but the tools sometimes change.

In regards to Instagram, Instagram is the traffic source.
So, as a marketer, you need to figure out your leverage points and how to move the traffic from Instagram to your own funnels, offers and email lists.
With Instagram, the leverage point is the one URL you can put in the bio of your profile.
Now, obviously you'll need some sort of offer.
This can either be an affiliate offer or your own.
Then, once you have your offer selected, you'll need to figure out a way to capture leads and convert those leads into customers.
For this I recommend a tool like ClickFunnels.
ClickFunnels is a drag-and-drop sales funnel software that you can use to build custom mobile responsive landing pages to attract people to what you have to offer.
Now, in regards to Instagram traffic, there's really only two ways to get it...
  • Build it...or
  • Buy it
So, if you're wanting results sooner rather than later, I would recommend buying traffic from other more established accounts by purchasing shoutouts.
One marketplace to buy Instagram shoutouts is Shoutcart.
Alternatively, if you would like to build up your own authority Instagram account on autopilot, I recommend investing in a software called Instajam.
Now, once you've collected an email address from someone, it's best to follow up with them in some way since it's very unlikely they will buy your product on their first exposure.
So, to do this, I would invest in a reliable email autoresponder like ConvertKit or look into Facebook chatbots like ManyChat.
And that's the whole system.
As a marketer your job is to leverage traffic sources like Instagram and funnel that traffic to build your own targeted audience that you can remarket to over and over again.
And to scale up you can duplicate this same system across multiple platforms and traffic sources.
My friend Jeremy McGilvrey has built his entire online business empire by using Instagram traffic exclusively.

SEO Strategies For Affiliate Marketing

SEO (search engine optimization) is actually pretty simple. It mainly comes down to two things: on page SEO and off page SEO. On page SEO just means  optimizing your content  to rank for certain keywords. The main elements on the page you want to make sure and include your target keywords are your Title and URL. As far as the body itself don't worry so much about using the exact phrases you're going after word for word... It's more important that you concentrate on providing as much value as possible and writing for humans instead of trying to  keyword stuff  and trying to maintain a certain  keyword density . The other half of the SEO equation is off page SEO. This just means backlinks or  links from other high authority or relevant sites  pointing to the piece of content you're trying to rank. Off page SEO is also pretty simple - it mostly comes down to... The authority of sites linking to yours The relevance of the sites linki...

How To Flip Domain Names For Fun And Profit

Years ago I came across a blog article about a guy that was in his mid 20s, who regularly made multiple five figures per month online... Simply flipping domains. Now, we're not talking about the kind of domain flipping where you invest in expensive branded domains and then resell those to a higher bidder. All he was doing was picking up  brand new domain names  for just the cost of registration...and flipping those to local businesses, over and over. Now, I had heard of things like this during the dot com boom, in the early days of the Internet, so I thought the idea of flipping domains was a lost art and there was no more opportunity in that. But, this was about 2011 or so, so it was way past the dot com bubble. Now, I mention that story to reinforce that you still didn't miss the domain flipping gold rush. Flipping domains for easy profits is something anyone can still do, and it's even easier to do these days. Now, what the guy I mentioned above was d...
