2. Keep Your Eyes on Your Reader

There is a phenomenon called the curse of knowledge in psychology. The curse of knowledge is when we become experts in a particular field and use jargon that is hard to understand by others. This is a mistake that you shouldn't make. A potential customer won't buy if they don't know what you're talking about.

Too much reliance on your personal experiences is a recipe for disaster. Research is a better option instead of basing your assumptions on anecdotal evidence and relying solely on them. For marketers and copywriters, it is essential to understand your target audience.

It is one of the worst mistakes you can make when writing without thinking about your audience. Authors tend to focus on their own experiences and assume that everyone has the same background. But the truth is that it's quite the opposite.

Here are some quick, affordable ways to increase your affiliate marketing writing.

3. Social Proof is a Crucial Part of Affiliate Marketing

Using real cases is better than empty statements. To show potential customers how your product could be used, you should demonstrate the benefits it offers. When creating landing pages for affiliate marketing, it is always better to show the product working (rather than just talking about it).

Use statistics – You can always find exciting statistics on the subject to include in your copy. This will keep your reader's attention, and it will make you more credible. According to research, social proof can increase conversions by up to 20%.

While you explore social proof, this does not mean that you shouldn't talk about your experience. If done well, social proof can increase your conversion rates. Here are some examples of social proof that you can use in your affiliate marketing writing.

You can share reviews with your clients - Get them to write about your product. Here, a few positive phrases can do wonders! DataFeedWatch offers a quick review from an actual client as part of the signup process.

Hi Lily,
There are basics and just good tips I have overlooked in the past.

My one thought is Google wants at least 1,000 words to rank at all. I have always thought that was excessive, but I am not Google.

I suppose it depends on what you are writing about. A thesis on "Babe Ruth" would require much more than 1k words while selling a clothing affiliate wouldn't

I will have to apply this to my own business.

Thanks for your wonderful teaching.

Hi Bill, great to see you here. I tend to agree with you about the word length but a recent study showed that Google is happiest with around 1300 words and that's what I aim for generally and it is paying off.

Stay well.
