Hey guys, so I'm doing research on a new site I'm running and it deals with affiliate marketing.

One thing I am exploring is what the most common questions are from people who hear about, get involved in it and so on for the purposes of research.

If you could do me a favor and post your top 3-5 questions you have about affiliate marketing, I would truly appreciate it! Please label them in order so I can see which are which.

I'll also happily answer as many questions as I can in response to this since I have a lot of experience in it this business.

Thank you in advance!

hi I am reading this post late, but I can still write my questions. I am promoting WA so my questions are related to the MMO niche.

1. How often should I post when promoting WA?
2. Should I promote content using social media or is blogging and SEO enough?
3. Does a WA review or a longer Landing Page work best?
4. When promoting WA is it enough to say that the target audience is people who want to make money online or should I be more specific?
5. What kind of content works best for promoting WA in 2020?
6. How many internal/external links in a 2000 words post and where to put them?
7. Can I change old posts' titles/meta titles without messing up my rankings?

1) Once a day is ideal.
2) Blogging is enough for the beg.
3) Yes.
4) depends on your niche site. You can make a bullet point list of who WA is for in your review.
5) Follow the WA training. There is no simple answer for this.
6) One link every 100 words or more is fine.
7) Yes.

for number 3 which one is better to link to? A WA review or create a landing page?

Hi Vitaliy
My top questions:
1. How to find the best products to promote, rather than random choice.
2. Where is it best to start to promote, ie blog, or Ads or Social Media?
3. How best to set up your affiliate links? gather email addresses first then promote to them?
4. Best way to start building an email list? From a landing page on your website or from Social Media?
5. How best to choose products in order to build your sales funnel.
Cheers
Alan

Hi Alan:

1) You shouldn't promote random stuff, you should find a niche you like, then find products you know are good, then find affiliate programs that sell those good products.

I usually use Amazon.com for most products I find.

2) Blog, definitely a blog. WA's training teaches this.

3) I don't recommend email marketing right away, do the training in WA, set up a blog with traffic that is making money, then decide to do email marketing later.

4) Rank for keywords, get traffic, then link people to sign up on your site to your email list if you go this route.

5) See my response for question #1.

1. How many articles per week should we publish on our affiliate marketing website to become successful and how long does it take before we see traffic?

2. Should we post our website URL to all social platforms? Ex. Facebook and Instagram. If so, which platforms are best?

3. Do articles really rate higher when a number is written first before the title name? Ex. 5 best niches. Or should we focus solely on keyword research tool more instead?

Thank you:)

1) Ideally once a day until you can get to several 100 visits a day Miranda.

2) I would only do this after you set up a fan or business page on social media. Depending on your niche, I may not even suggest using social media and to focus entirely on blogging and possibly youtube.

3) It depends. Numbers in titles are more like click bait and can result in more clicks because it's easy to see so if you can use numbers in your titles WITH the low hanging fruit keywords you find, I would.

Great information to know!!! Thank you so much!!!

My biggest question is whether I can make money with affiliate marketing. I would really like to do it full time, as long as I can make a decent living with it.

How to get “qualified” traffic
How to accelerate SEO
How to maximize conversion

1) Quality traffic comes from proper keyword research Brad and then writing good content for them. The best example I use is finding keywords like how to relieve knee pain, then writing a high quality article on knee pain to bring in people WITH knee pain to the article, that is quality traffic. WA's training teaches this.

2) Accelerated SEO comes from posting quality content regularly. Once a day is fine.

3) There is no such thing, but if you can get quality traffic to your site, you already do most of the work for conversions to be high, so follow the guideline for getting quality traffic to your site.

Thanks for the clear and concise explanation

Which program is the best? Should I promote as many affiliate program as possible or only a few ? How many websites should I promote with affiliate ? Should I use just one affiliate program per website or promote links from different programs on same website?
Thanks
Tim

1) There's good programs like Wealthy Affiliate, Clickbank, and Amazon Associates. I consider those 3 to be amazing.

2) I'd promote only a few. It shows quality over quantity. You can REVIEW masses of products, but show people the best options.

3) That is up to you. You can use 1 affiliate program like Amazon associates and promote different types of products from there across one or multiple niche sites.

Awesome ... thanks
Tim
