If you find getting targeted traffic, especially buyer traffic difficult, then I can reveal a much faster and better way then SEO. Most of us have been told that affiliate marketing is the easiest way to make money online but for most of us it is not!
Most affiliate products are dominated by the Guru's and their army of super affiliates who have mastered traffic generation and list building so that by constructing one email broadcast to their big buyers mailing list, they earn 80% of all affiliate commissions while 20% is shared among the 10,000's like us who mostly make very little or nothing at all.
Without a big highly responsive mailing list you simply cannot compete with those 20% who earn 80% of all the money. It is that old 80/20 rule where 20% earn 80% and 80% earn the remaining 20% most of them earning zero. So unless you have mastered traffic generation, stop being an affiliate for now and instead create your own information product instead.
Start by doing research in your niche. Then read related blogs and articles making notes. Finally write your own ebook or create a 4 to 8 part short video training set that solves a problem or answers a question. You could get affiliates to sell it for you as a vendor giving them 75% or more of the selling price. These affiliates will drive buyer traffic and build your mailing list on your squeeze page of your site.
This method makes getting traffic something you no longer need to worry about. Also the list of buyers will allow you to build a relationship first then sell related products to them thereby making you more money in less time. This could jump start your online business career and set you up for life as the go to expert in your niche? What do you think? I will start doing this to test if it works in my business.Anyone else doing this today?
