Choose Your Affiliate Programs Wisely
Even though all affiliate programs are free to join, every affiliate program is different. Terms and conditions, commission rate, cookie length, and other factors can have a huge difference in how much revenue you earn.
For example, Amazon cut its commission rate yet many marketers are still Amazon Associates because of two reasons. Amazon has a bunch of products in almost any niche you can think of and they're a world-known brand that helps improve conversion.
Luckily, there are thousands of affiliate programs and even though it takes time to check out each one of them and find the best one, it'll pay off in the long run because a difference in revenue can be huge.
You can also test various affiliate programs and see which ones perform the best and which ones earn you the most money, but also provide great value to your readers.
I will try to get these strategies implemented as soon as I can. It is worth noting that not all high priced items equal good commissions. I was browsing affiliates the other day and saw one selling $400 items.
I then looked and saw they paid out only 5%. For helping someone sell $400 in merchandise I don't think $20 is a fair commission! (Especially when many partners offer 10%, which I do think is fair.)
I check Google Console regularly to see if any errors pop up about any broken link, and then I fink it.
Jay also did a class about using Goals in Google Analytics to set up to see how many clicks, if any, you get on your links to increase your conversion.
Great training
Much appreciated my friend.
