When you first start out in affiliate marketing it’s a fairly basic process.
Step one is finding a product you’d like to promote. This is easy enough, many people find something they want to promote on networks like Amazon or Clickbank.
A segunda etapa é configurar sua conta de afiliado, obter aprovação e, por fim, obter o link propriamente dito.
Por fim, você coloca o link em seu site. Pode ser que você coloque um link para ele algumas vezes em um artigo, ou pode até mesmo se dar ao trabalho de configurar um banner de anúncio.
Like I said, it’s a fairly simple process and part of the reason why affiliate marketing is such an attractive option for bloggers to monetize their websites with.
O problema surge quando você quer começar a escalonar esse método de monetização.
Software para controlar seus links de afiliados
When you need to roll out a monetization method on your blog it’s something you need to have a systematic approach for. Afterall, you spent your precious time building up an audience and building trust with your audience, you don’t want to dissolve that overnight.
Affiliate marketing on the surface seems like an easy enough thing to roll out across a blog, but going back through your articles could be quite painful especially if you’ve written quite a number of them.
Advertising banners aren’t as effective as affiliate marketing because they’re not as targeted and don’t come across like personalised recommendations.
É aqui que o marketing de afiliados realmente se destaca, monetizando em blogs.
Para monetizar um blog existente de forma eficaz com o marketing de afiliados, você realmente precisa usar um software para controlar seus links de afiliados, e isso por vários motivos:
- As redes de afiliados podem alterar sua estrutura de links da noite para o dia e, sem um software para controlar esses links, você precisaria voltar a cada postagem para descobrir onde colocou o link e alterá-lo. Com um software como o ThirstyAffiliates it’s easy to make these kinds of changes.
- Pode ser penoso examinar todas as suas postagens existentes para adicionar links de afiliados em determinadas palavras-chave. Nossa ferramenta pode ajudá-lo a configurar os links e vinculá-los automaticamente a frases específicas para eliminar a dificuldade dessa tarefa.
- Monetizing with affiliate links effectively means you need to make your links look natural like you are recommending the product personally. You can do this with the auto linking features mentioned in number 2, it’s harder to do this without a software tool like this.
- Managing large numbers of links effectively is essential to a good affiliate marketing campaign on your blog. Unless you’re just promoting one or two products (which will be quite rare) then a software tool will help keep track of all these links.
- Without a software tool like ThirstyAffiliates there’s no way to tell how effective your campaigns are besides seeing what is sold. You may end up promoting the wrong items, if you can analyze your links and see which products are selling more with less clicks you can start promoting those items more often than products that have a lower conversion rate.
- You can shorten you affiliate links and disguise the affiliate tracking code in your link by using a tool like ThirstyAffiliates. Without cloaking your links like this you’re vulnerable to losing commissions by malicious scripts that replace your tracking id.
Monetizing your blog without software to control your affiliate links is doable, but it’s much more difficult and you will lose a lot of time that could be better spent building your audience and improving your website.
No que diz respeito à monetização de blogs, o marketing de afiliados é certamente uma ótima maneira de obter uma monetização mais eficaz do que os anúncios diretos, mas você ainda precisa abordá-lo de forma sistemática usando o software adequado para organizar seus esforços.
