Traffic Sources for Affiliate Marketing?

[brettek]

Hello Guys,

I have heard that I can use FB ads for affiliate marketing campaigns, is it exact and I can use it to earn commission from affiliate marketing or what are the best traffic sources to make money from affiliate programs that legal?

Yeah, you can use Facebook ads to promote affiliate offers but, taking your question into consideration I think it's safe to assume that you are a newbie on this correct? If you don't have any experience on creating ad campaigns I suggest you stay away from it, you will most likely loose more than what you will earn.

If you want to promote stuff I recommend harnessing the power of YouTube, you can create videos with apps like Replay on an iPhone or iPad and star promoting them that way (this way you can forget about Camtasia and similar softwares). Your investment will be like $10 and you will create as many videos as you want (you don't even need to appear on camera).

If you want traffic, just go to where the traffic is and choose carefully between paid and traffic. Investigate all their ramifications and what to expect from both.

I hope this information helps you, if you have any more questions just let me know. =)

I don't think it will work in this way if you wan to have more traffic, may need paid advertising on these social networks?

A different method to get traffic from Facebook, is to join Facebook groups with lots of accounts, post articles/images related to that niche. Then from time to time, post your affiliate link or a link to your article on your website.

Or just create a bunch of accounts and start adding lots of friends, Facebook allows 5000 friends. Just do the math:
5000 friends * 10 accounts = 50.000 friends

This is just with 10 accounts. My recommendation is to see whats working for you with this Facebook "method". You can also automate it with bots, proxies, etc.

Automation is the key, when scaling up.

Same goes with Google+ communities and followers. More friends -> more traffic -> more income.

EDIT: from what I heard Facebook is against "affiliate links" posted on Groups/Pages. But not sure about it yet, since I didn't post any affiliate links.

Facebook learns quickly which links are affiliate links and then they do not allow you to post with them. The best way is always to use a landing page on your own site or other hosted page so you can capture the lead before sending them on to the offer.

In affiliate marketing you NEVER send traffic direct from ad to sell. So this question is irrelevant. You always send them to a landing page and landing pages that look like website and push for the conversion do the best.

Yes, you can promote your affiliate offer through facebook ad and make some good money. Personally I use SEO to promote most of my affiliate websites.

Lately, I discovered a site that offers targeted traffic. Paid traffic, I think they deliver traffic thru their partner and owned sites. It's a form of advertising that they use pop-unders, pop overs, or exit pops to get traffic to your site. It's trafficwave, although they have been operating for years offering autoresponder, never thought they have traffic packages, you buy visitors. They serve a wide variety of niches.

And, send it to your landing or squeeze page, not to your affiliate link. Build your list. :ertery:
