January 27, 2010 | No Comments | Affiliate Networks
Affiliate marketing has been given a tremendous boost with the new social media marketing craze that is sweeping the internet. Social networks such as Twitter and Facebook has given affiliates a little more opportunity when gaining new customers and earning more commissions.
Facebook is a social network, much like MySpace, where you connect, network, and share things in your life with people who you are friends with. Facebook, once a domain of high school kids and young adolescents playing games and hooking up, is now a legitimate force in internet marketing. Affiliate marketing is no different. Here’s three powerful ways you can earn more commissions with Facebook.
Connect With Others Within Your Niche
Facebook allows you to search for people according to name, network, school, and even keywords is done correctly. Try to search for people within your own niche or topic of the product your are marketing.
Most affiliates market several products so you have two options available to you. You can select one or two closely related products and focus your Facebook marketing in these areas or you can purchase Facebook Ads. These are like Pay Per Click ads on Google, but show up on the profiles of people who have something to do with the topic of the ad.
Start A Group Around The Topic Of Your Affiliate Product
Groups and fan pages are big topics on Facebook right now. And for good reason. They are generally good places to do specific, targeted promotion of products. For instance, if you are an affiliate for a car product, you can start a group for car enthusiasts. When sending notices to your group you can mention your product, or website. Not only do you get marketing, but you also meet others, can connect with them and build strong relationships.
Write Notes
Facebook notes are almost like having your own blog. Whenever you write a new note then everyone on your friend list gets notified. You have the options of “tagging” people with your note also so that their friends are also notified.
