Affiliate Marketing Using Paid Ads – Make Money With ShareASale And AdClercks

Lets face facts, free traffic is a long term strategy. It literally takes forever to get results, especially if you’re just starting out. So, in this post I want to share a simple but very effective strategy for affiliate marketing using paid ads.

So yes, this will require a small investment to execute, however if you watch your numbers closely and you understand the math, you can make a killing with this strategy. It might not be for everyone, but for the right person, this could really pay off.

But first, you need to understand a couple of terms. Internet marketing jargon, so to speak.

EPC = Earnings Per Click

Essentially, this is how much you will earn on average everytime someone clicks on your link.

IMPRESSIONS = How many times a webpage or element of a webpage is used.

This is basically when someone visits a webpage or a particular section of a webpage, it counts as an impression.

CLICKS = This is a marketing metric that counts the number of times users have clicked on a digital advertisement to reach an online property.

When someone clicks on your advertisement, link or banner, that counts as a click.

Alright…Now that you understand what those three terms basically mean…I want you to understand that you need to generate traffic in order to create impressions.

Got it? Good. Let’s get cracking.

Step 1 Create an account on AdClercks

If you visit a site called Adclerks, you will find a platform that specializes in advertising.

It has a large variety of websites in many different categories that you can advertise on for a small monthly fee.

The cool thing here is that each website that you can advertise on tells you how many impressions it gets per month and how much it will cost you to advertise on that website per month.

An example would be a site that gets 776k impressions a month and will cost $15 a month to have a banner ad on that site.

Now…that is your traffic mechanism.

Step 2 Create an account on Shareasale

Next I want you to head over to a site called Shareasale.

Shareasale is a platform like Clickbank or WarriorPlus where you can sell products as a vendor and promote products as an affiliate.

Go ahead and sign up for a free Shareasale account.

Next head over to the health category and find a good product to promote. You are looking for good EPC’s, high conversion rate, frequent sales, and decent commission rates.

Also, how long has the product been selling? The longer it’s been selling, combined with good numbers on those other things I mentioned means the more reliable and proven the product is.

Shareasale is going to show you this information. You just need to be able to know what you are looking at.

Once you find your offer, go ahead and scroll down to the button that says “Creative Preview” and you’ll be able to see the banner ads that you can use to sell this thing.

Step 3 Do the math

Once you get approved for the offer, it’s time to start getting the ads out there and making some money.

So head back over to Adsclerk and find a website to advertise on that makes sense for your offer.

Now the numbers matter here so listen up…

Let’s say you want to advertise on a website that will get you 542,000 impressions every month and for that you are going to pay $75/mo.

Let’s estimate that .01% of those impressions become clicks that will generate traffic for the product you are promoting.

Now that is very conservative and it’s the equivalent of around 54 people visiting that sales page of your product.

Now, let’s say your product has an EPC of $45.19. Well if you take those 54 people and you multiply it by the earnings per click you will get $2,440.26.

Next we need to subtract the amount that you spend on advertising, which is $75. That’s going to leave you with a total of: $2,365.26

So the numbers in this example make sense. Even if you cut the earnings in half, you still are looking at over a thousand dollars a month in profit.

The truly unknown variable here is how many impressions will become clicks.

We estimated our example at .01% but we see that if it was even half of that we would still make over a thousand dollars a month on an offer with around $45 EPC’s and a $75 a month ad spend.

Okay, so let’s run down the steps on this one:

1) You can find great products to promote on Shareasale. I recommend that you go for health products when using this strategy.

2) You can get your traffic from Adclerks.

3) Paid advertising is about testing. See what is working for you and what is not. Make sure the numbers add up.

4) Ditch the losers and focus on the winners.

5) Invest a percentage of your gains to scale up your campaigns and test out new products.

6) Rinse and repeat.

Optional – You might want to create a bridge page where you collect the visitors email address first before you send them to the sales page.

By doing so, you’ll be able to re-market to them over and over again and you’ll definitely increase your chances of making the sale.

Not sure if this strategy is for you – Here are a few things to consider…

There are barriers to entry with a method like this and that keeps your competition down.

What are those barriers to entry? I mean, I just made it sound easy right?

Well, let’s look a little closer…

First, it poses a learning curve. You have to figure out how to use Shareasale and Adclerks.

Second, it requires business math and critical thinking. You have to look at your numbers and understand what the heck you are looking at.

Third, it requires investment in advertising. Many people always want the free method. They are not willing to put an investment on the line to try something new.

These three barriers to entry will keep a lot of your competition at bay. The question now becomes, could this be the next big move in your online journey?

Well, that’s for you to decide.

It’s a fact that you can easily double your sales by providing a bonus. To present that bonus you’ve got several options like a WordPress site or any of the well known page builders. These assets often come with a hefty monthly fee that most beginners don’t have. But there are other options.
If you’d like to know how to make a bonus page for affiliate marketing for free – Read on!

First And Foremost…Are Bribes And Bonuses Really Necessary?

This topic has been frequently discussed, particularly in the ‘make money online’ niche. Many affiliates often stack 20 to 50 or more ‘free goodies’ for buyers who purchase through the affiliate’s link.

These digital products are often downloaded via one of the countless PLR membership sites available. The bonuses are then given an unrealistic value, such as “$1797 real-world value.” Despite this, you’re unable to buy a can of coke with these ‘high value’ bonuses.

While giving bonuses might be a good approach to encourage subscribers to buy through your affiliate link, the bonus must be unique, useful, and not overly hyped up. But what is an excessive number of bonuses? Just ask yourself – What will your buyer do with 50 additional products?

Generally, the biggest affiliates offer three or four highly relevant and worthy bonuses that their customers would really like to get. When you have your own product that isn’t freely available on over a hundred PLR sites, your customer will recognize the value. Even more so if you give away a product that people are actually paying for.

Let’s assume you’re selling a popular WordPress plugin, providing it as a bonus to another vendor’s software will result in considerably higher conversions. Giving away 50 irrelevant eBooks that date back several years will not help your cause. Just use your common sense while promoting.

And this leads to the following question. Where does it all end?

Some marketers refuse to provide bonuses, instead relying on the goodwill and loyalty they’ve build up with their list to help them close sales. This also works… but you must be realistic. Most new marketers make the mistake and fail to see the pool in which they are swimming.

You need to consider the market in which you’re competing. If you’re offering a newly launched product and just about every other affiliate is providing bonuses, greed will almost always prevail. Your subscribers will be intrigued by the bonuses of your competitors and may decide to buy from them rather than from you.

That’s just the way it is. In the MMO niche, buyers are on several lists. When a new product is released, there is always a hype surrounding it, and everyone and their grandmother will mail for it. .

Your subscribers are once again exposed to a plethora of offers and bribes to get the product through several affiliates. It’s a buyer’s market, and they have a lot of options. You’ll most likely lose the battle if you don’t have a bonus.

In the end, it all comes down to your niche and what your competitor’s are doing. Offering a bonus just might help to convert a cautious visitor into a paying customer. What you need is the ideal bonus at the right place and right time.

As it goes, I’ve done a full blown blog post about creating unique affiliate bonuses. So, if this sounds interesting, then you’ll be able to find that blog post over here.

Which brings us to the essence of this post…

Here’s How To Make A Bonus Page For Affiliate Marketing For Free

We’re going to build our bonus page using Google Sites. If you wonder why we’re using Google Sites, let me explain.

First of all, it’s 100% free to use and the only thing that you need is a Google account. So, if you don’t have a google account yet, then head over to Google and create one.

Secondly, this page builder is very easy to use so even people with no technical skills whatsoever are able to build an eye-catching page.

And last but not least, Google sites is probably the only free page builder that will not show any annoying third-party ads on your page. This is very important because on your bonus page the only clickable links should be your affiliate links.

Anyways, enough chit chat so let’s get cracking. You can basically watch over my shoulder as I create the page from start to finish.

== How Create A Free Bonus Page Using Google Sites ==

Right then, now that you’ve got your bonus page up and running it’s time for the last phase of this process…

How To Deliver The Bonuses To Your Customers

To keep things simple we’re going to use a couple of other free services from Google, such as Google Drive, Google Docs and YouTube.

1.Step 1 – Google Drive

Google Drive is a cloud based storage where you can store your PDF and ZIP files, or other types of documents that you want to give away as a bonus. Google Drive is completely free to use and they offer up to 15 GB of storage space, which is more than enough to get started.

Once you’ve uploaded your files you can create a shareable link. That’s the link that you need to paste into your Google Doc (see Step 3).

2.Step 2 – YouTube

If you’re giving away videos, whether it be your own or videos that you have the rights for, you want to upload them to YouTube and keep them as unlisted.

This way your videos are hosted on YouTube but they are not visible for the main public. Only people who have the video link will be able to watch these videos.

It’s needless to say that this is the link that you want to to paste into your Google Doc (see Step 3).

3.Step 3 – Google Docs

Your Google Doc will literally function as your download page. On this document you want to put all the links that you’ve previously created within Google Drive or YouTube. If you’ve got the rights to give away entire courses you can also put that access link on your Google Doc.

When you’ve pasted all the links into your Google Doc, you want to create a shareable link. That’s the link that you want to share with your customers.

If you’re promoting products from market places such as Warrior Plus, JV Zoo or Paykickstart, you’ll be able to deliver your bonuses automatically.

Just paste your link in the box that says ” Buyer Bonus URL” and a blue access button will be added. This button will give your customer access to the bonuses.

Unfortunately, ClickBank doesn’t provide this service. When you’re promoting a ClickBank offer you will have to deliver your bonuses the old fashioned way. In other words, you’ll have to provide the “bonus link” to your customer via email.

OPTIONAL

Building A Buyers List By Delivering Your Bonuses

The biggest disadvantage of being an affiliate is that you don’t collect the email addresses from your customers. That privilege is reserved for the vendors only.

But building a buyers list is very important. As a matter of fact, it will be the most valuable asset of your entire business because people who have purchased from you will be much more likely to buy again.

When you have a list of buyers, you can always promote new products that will appeal to these people and you will be able to generate sales over and over. There is no limit to what you can achieve. Luckily, there is an easy way to build a buyers list as an affiliate.

Here’s what you’ll need to do:

Instead of providing a direct link to your Google Doc you want to send people to an opt-in form first.

So, you’ll need to create a list inside your auto-responder and call it “bonus_buyer_list”. Once your list is created you’ll need to create a simple sign-up form.

Connect that sign-up form with the list you’ve created and with the URL of your Google Doc. Let your auto-responder host the sign-up form and copy the URL that will be given to you. Paste the URL of your auto-responder in the “Buyer Bonus URL” box and click save.

Now your customers have to fill in the form first before they’re redirected to your Google Doc. They will get there bonuses and you will have their email address, so everybody wins!

I hope you’ve got tons of value from this guide on how to make a bonus page for affiliate marketing for free. Hopefully, when you put it into action, you’ll double or even triple your sales.
