So you are an affiliate marketer or have been thinking to start affiliate marketing.

Good.

There are many affiliate marketers who do not even make a dollar online.

Its because they are doing basic mistakes which is why ther are not making any sales.

Especially if you are a beginner make sure to avoid these 5 mistakes if you want to become a successful affiliate marketer.

Do Not Oversell

Whenever you try to over promote your affiliate product, you don not realize that its irritating and distracting at the same time for the audience.

What you actually need to do is present them with products that they actually need.

You can write a review, create video content on youtube and eventually let them decide if they want to buy it or not.

If you promote it way too much it will seem like you are forcing them to take out their credit cards and make a purchase even though they do not want to.

And that is a big No.

Avoid Sugar Coating

Do not sugar coat your product if it is not good as you are telling it is.

Make sure you only pick genuine products for affiliate marketing, if you promote products to your audience just for the sake of commissions then you might lose your audience.

Lay out the benefits that they will get if they buy that product.

So always be aware of the words you are using while promoting your products.

Promoting Too Many Products

Do not sell products that are not relevant and not useful, if you promote too many

products, people might unsubscribe from your email list, advertising platforms may ban you on the suspicion of spamming.

Choose 2-3 products that go well with each other and just promote them with nice review, content.

Just remember it will take time to make money from affiliate marketing, but when it starts it will be consistent.

So start small, no need to hurry or panic by promoting several products that have nothing to do with the niche you are in.

No Reviews or Comparisons of Affiliate Products

If you are promoting affiliate products and want to really connect with your

audience and increase trust between them, then do honest reviews.

If possible try to compare 2-3 products in that category, write all the pros and cons of the product.

What this will do is audience will engage with your content, it will also give them a clear mind and help in their decision making of buying the product.

This will increase your conversion rate and hence your affiliate commissions.

So make sure you use your blog, youtube channel or any promotional space you are in to good effect.

Not Tracking Your Affiliate Links

You want to track your affiliate links data from start to finish.

There are many link tracking softwares out there which help you to track your affiliate links and provide you with detailed data.

So that you can analyze it and adjust your campaigns accordingly.

Now that you know the things that you should be avoiding as an affiliate marketer, what are you waiting for.

Go ahead and start making money.
