ListZilla Will Help You Overcome the 3 Most Common Affiliate Marketing Mistakes

By Rodney Brooks, on March 7th, 2010

It isn’t difficult to set up a high-quality website and start an affiliate marketing career. It isn’t challenging at all to find affiliate marketing opportunities on the internet. However, it is a very simple thing to make deadly mistakes that will insure your failure to succeed with affiliate marketing.

One of the most notable affiliate marketing mistakes is to think that all you have to do is find the ones that compensate the most, sign up, drive traffic to that site through your affiliate link and you’re all set right?

Not exactly.

It’s terrific to select an affiliate program that pays a high percentage, but that’s not the most significant thing to consider. It’s much more important to find a quality affiliate system that meets certain criteria. Here are three mistakes you don’t have to make:

1. You need to ensure the product is a proven seller. You don’t want to squander your time and money driving traffic to a site that doesn’t convert. Find one with a good conversion rate.

2. Make sure the site you become an affiliate for protects its affiliates, and has your best interest at heart. Look for one that provides banners, e-mails, and other tools you can use to promote the site.

Also, make sure that there is only one payment option. As an affiliate marketer, you need to be sure that you will get credit for your referral. If there is more than one payment method, you can get shortchanged.

3. Do not choose an affiliate program that promotes an e-mail course. Nothing is worse than becoming an affiliate to a site that’s first goal is to capture e-mail addresses, and then tries to make the sale second.

As an affiliate marketer, you need to capture e-mail addresses, then to convert that prospect into a sale. Stick with affiliate programs that aren’t focused on capturing leads because it’s simply not in your best interest.

Build your own list, not someone else’s.

ListZilla is a truly groundbreaking application that allows you to create major leverage in your life by not only providing you with an immediate income, but by setting you up for long term success by automating the list building process for you.

ListZilla builds your list automatically each time a new member enters the ListZilla program within your affiliate tree. This list is yours to keep forever, not based on your ongoing participation. You build it, you keep it.

And believe me, when they say, “The money’s in the list,” they aren’t kidding around. The internet’s most successful marketers have all built their fortunes through the power of email marketing.

But I guess you must realize that already, since you’re reading this right now

Building a responsive email list is arguably the most important element to creating a successful online business bar none.

Let me give you an example of the power of a decent list, not a great list, just a decent one.

Let’s say for example that over time you were able to build up a list of say 100,000 subscribers. This is not by any modern standard, a large list. Many of the successful marketers online right now have lists in excess of one million subscribers.

But let’s say you took very good care of your list, treated your people well, and on average you got about a 3% return ratio on your mailings. That is to say, that about 3% of your list made a purchase of whatever product you promoted to them.

So, being an average marketer you occasionally find affiliate products that you really like, and on this day you send out an email to your list promoting a $47.00 product that you like on ClickBank. This product pays you a 50% commission on each sale you refer.

With a 3% return on a $23.50 commission …

You Just Made $74,000.00 On a Single Email!
