If users choose to enter your site, it’s not because they want to be marketed to; it’s because they want to be communicated with. They want information and so when they don’t find it, they’re definitely going to go elsewhere. For example, writing interesting articles related to your niche is a sure-fire way to capture your visitors.
Also, it is a must that you create separate pages for each product that you are endorsing.
Creating Product Pages That Sell
Your product pages are your first opportunity to expose your visitors to the products you’re promoting. Bear in mind, though, that these shouldn’t be blatant sales letters. Your best strategy is to explore both the pros and the cons, but give an overall positive tilt to your review. This sets you apart from the common affiliate and establishes your site as a trustworthy review hub.
Here are a few pointers to keep in mind when you write up your product pages:
#1: Build on the sales letter.
The first thing you should do as an affiliate is study the sales letter and other details on the merchant’s website. By doing so, you will identify loose ends that have gone unnoticed. For example, if the product is a set of instructional videos, and the sales letter has missed any interesting features that you’ve noticed in the product, you should include these in your review with a reference to the sales page.
Also, some parts of the sales copy might sound ambiguous and tend to confuse prospects. You should address these in your review.
#2: Sound very unbiased.
Like I said already, it’s a must that you explore both positive and negative aspects of the product but insist that the pros largely outweigh the cons. Another clever strategy is to mostly review (and criticize) other competing products on the market. You can bash them (within limits) and recommend the product that you’re promoting as being superior to everything else. It’s a dirty tactic but it sells.
#3: Include quotes from the product.
This is a huge selling point. Essentially what you should do is pick out really good stuff from within the product and quote these in your review. For example, you can say something like “On page 53, Dan explores two high-intensity conditioning drills…” etc. This shows people that the product is exactly what they’re looking for, and prompts them to take action right away.
#4: Incentives.
We’re going to get into bonus creation in a later section but this is something that no affiliate website should be without. This is especially true if you’re in an industry where people can recognize you as an affiliate marketer. What you’re essentially doing is offering people incentives for buying the product through your affiliate link.
In case you don’t want, or can’t afford, to create your own bonuses right now, you can scour the web and find lots of PLR articles, videos etc related to your niche. While there are decent products available for free, I suggest joining paid membership sites if you’re going to offer PLR products as bonuses on your site.
Follow these steps, and you will soon master the art of creating killer product reviews that sell themselves. Remember, though, that you’ve only just started and there’s a long way to go. In an other sections, I’ll be outlining a few tips to optimize your website for search engines, so you can get some free traffic to your website. But search engine or no search engine, the best strategy of all is to update your site regularly with fresh and useful content. This is why you need to consider Blogging.
