If you are already part of the Kave Affiliates family, these tips are for you! We often overlook key aspects in affiliate marketing, so today, we want to share 5 mistakes you should avoid if you want to be a top affiliate.
1. Expecting instant success.
Let's start with the most common mistake: trusting that your results will happen overnight. Although affiliate marketing can be an easy way to earn money from your blog or website, results start to be noticeable when there is consistency in creating content and posts.
Creating a bond with your audience through your content will be the key for you to start seeing more and better results. There is no doubt that consistency and time spent on your content will guarantee you good results in the long run.
2. Forgetting your creatives.
In the previous point, we have seen the importance of creating a link with your audience. Well, to do so, it is also necessary to keep updating the contents of your site to keep them interested. Undoubtedly, updating (quality) images will make users more interested.
A good option is to test your creativity to see which ones work best. For example, use different banner sizes and position them in other website areas, analysing which of them may be the best option.
3. Not giving importance to social networks.
With your social media profiles, you can hit the nail on the head. Take advantage of them to communicate different types of content: images, videos, infographics, discount codes, etc. But above all, don't forget to adapt your creativity to each social network.
4. Overlook creating a network of subscribers.
As we have already mentioned, if you work on your content periodically, you can take the opportunity to create a network of subscribers and define an email marketing strategy to impact it. Once you have a good database, think about the content you will send and when: for example, send an email every time a new collection is launched so that your readers are informed and motivated to buy new products.
5. Forgetting to track the results of your campaigns.
In affiliate marketing, it is essential to create content and monitor the results of your campaigns with the right metrics. It is important that you know at what time of the week your posts are most viewed and which posts have the most conversions. Track your posts and compare them to the days when you have generated the most clicks and/or sales to determine which content has brought you the best results.
