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 Promote Clickbank Offers Using Bing Ads

One of the oldest, most popular, and easiest affiliate networks to get started with is  Clickbank . And one of the fastest methods of getting results online is paid traffic. PPC (pay-per-click)  is one of the more popular paid traffic sources, especially for beginners. Pay-per-click basically works like SEO (search engine optimization) but on steroids. So, instead of optimizing content perfectly and waiting for it to rank, you just pay to show up. However, when it comes to promoting affiliate offers, or, more specifically,  direct linking to affiliate offers , huge networks like Google AdWords aren't usually that friendly. But, luckily  Bing Ads  is a lot more open to affiliate marketers and allows you to direct link to your affiliate offers. So, if you're just getting started with: affiliate marketing, promoting Clickbank offers, or Bing Ads in general this is something that works. Now, to give yourself a little more of an edge though over all...

How To Engineer Your Own Paycheck With Affiliate Marketing

Years ago I was suckered into an  Amway  pitch... But I did get one valuable takeaway that I still use today. During their spiel, the couple who was trying to persuade me to join Amway explained it like this... "Don't think of Amway as an expense. Because all you're really doing is simply redirecting a few dollars each month that you're spending anyway on household products and purchasing Amway products instead of some of the products that you buy at the supermarket." So, I like to apply this same approach with affiliate marketing. Most products and services pay you in money. However, some reward you with credit toward their product. So, if I'm subscribing to a service like this, I'll do my best to refer enough people on a regular basis to cancel out my subscription cost. One example is a meal delivery service called  HelloFresh . I have to eat anyway and since HelloFresh has a refer program that rewards me in credits towards my subscri...
