A Day In The Life Of An Affiliate Marketer - Articles Surfing


It is not hard nowadays to be an affiliate marketer. In the old days it was all handled by cold calling and telephones but since the age of technology we now find the best affiliate marketers are online and their earning potential has soared due to the number of users and the reach they now have now thanks to the internet.

A day in the life of an affiliate marketer is somewhat different to what it used to be. Now you have a lot of competitors and search engine optimization to deal with to get the right traffic to your website or affiliate pages in order to make that sale. When an affiliate marketer gets up in the morning he usually starts off his day checking his emails as it is very important to not miss anything that is important whether it be a question from a perspective buyer or an affiliate you have sponsored wanting some help. In order to maintain a good reputation you need to be able to communicate with people and assist them when needed. People like to know they are dealing with a real person and not just a computer.

With affiliate marketing he can either work with just affiliate link pages or he may have his own website. Once he has gone through his emails he would then check on his sites statistics to see that he is getting the traffic he needs. If he is not getting the traffic he will increase his backlinks to his site by adding useful replies in a multitude of forums. Each one of these replies is a link directly back to the affilate marketing site. In order to rank high for your chosen keyword you need to link that keyword in your signature back to your site. The more links you have the better placed you are on the search engine and the more targeted traffic you will get.

In order to make a lot of sales the Affiliate Marketer will write keyword rich articles for each of his products and submit them to as many sites as possible. Or he will pay a submission company to submit his articles as they will do it much faster and to many more article directories. Remember each one of these articles is also another backlink back to the affiliate website hence increasing his position on the search engines for his chosen keyword.

The Affiliate Marketer will also generally run some pay per click ads in google, yahoo, big daddy to name a few. He will also check his stats and tweak his ad accordingly to increase clicks through to his site at the cheapest price possible. He doesnt want to pay anything over 5 cents per click generally.

The Affiliate Marketer will end up checking his email all through the day to be on top of it, it is not unusual for a successful internet marketer to have to wade through hundreds of emails, but he will do it because he knows it is important.

To check his links are increasing the affiliate marketer will use backlink checkers to ensure his links are increasing accordingly. You can check your links for free at linkpopularity.com, it is also recommended to submit your website to the search engines once a month to get them listed. An affiliate marketer is more interested in ranking well in the major search engines as this is the place he will get the majority of his traffic from.

Once all this is under control the Affiliate Marketer will check out his competition and see what they are up to and he will check his sites he is affiliated with for any new products he might like to promote or write an article about as he is already preparing his next days work.
