Can Affiliate Marketing been effective way to Sell Books by the Boatload

Presented by Author JohnEgreek

Over the past few years we have heard that many people are making money through different marketing strategies. One such way of course is, Affiliate Marketing. Do you wonder what is affiliate marketing and why it is so successful?

Simply put, Affiliate marketing is a method by which an entrepreneur pays an affiliate a commission for each sale made by him for promoting and selling ther products, apps, books and even services. This system is a fantastic way to earn money online: the entrepreneur usually does not have to invest anything and the affiliate does not lose anything if he doesn’t achieve sales. Affiliate marketing is convenient for all parties involved, especially since there is no risk of loss.

How to get started?

Affiliate marketing is ideal for those who have a blog or a website. The first thing to do is to sign up for free on any affiliate marketing platform. Fortunately for the blogger, there are several recognized and reliable platforms: Hotmart, Clickbank, ShareASale, Amazon Associates, eBay Partner Network, JVZoo, WarriorPlus and more…

After registering and signing up to an affiliate, you then must choose the product you want to promote in your blog. This product must be directly related to the theme of your blog, for example: if we have a fitness blog we can promote cardiovascular exercise machines.

After choosing the product, the platform will give you an exclusive link unique to you, so that you can promote it in your blog. You will then receive a commission for each sale achieved through your unique link.

Different ways to promote a product

While affiliate marketing is ideal for those who have a website, there are  other ways to earn money through this system. An affiliate who does not have a website can promote a product through other media: social networks, newsletters, participating in forums and chats, etc. For example, if you have a Facebook fanpage about skin care, you could promote anti-aging creams. The most important thing is that the product you choose to promote generates a genuine interest to the public that participates in those chats, forums, social networks, etc.

The secret of success

If you are determined to make money through affiliate marketing there are a few ideas to keep in mind. If you are going to promote products on your website you must create good quality content, so that you can attract as many readers as possible.

This is achieved by providing valuable information, interacting continuously with your readers, knowing their likes, needs, and desires. . The more you know the readers visiting your website, the more confidence you will generate in them. Then it is more likely that they are interested in the products that you promote on website. Keep in mind that the product you promote must fit the profile of your readers, only then will you be able to catch the attention of the users.

Can Affiliate Marketing Sell more Books

All this affiliate marketing stuff caused me to think about new ways to sell more books. I looked for affiliate programs for Authors and the list was very short, so short, that I’m creating a four Affiliate Programs strictly for the benefit of selling my books, my eCourses, An Author selling site, and one for Book Reviewers & Readers to sell more of their books

Keep Reading and I’ll lay the basic of these programs coming your way in early May

My website, www.johnegreek.com is currently going through a complete makeover. When it’s all said and done, there will be affiliate sites/web pages dedicated to the the following programs mentioned above by title:

• An Affiliate Program for the sale of Author JohnEgreeks books which currently includes Grandma’s Secret Blessings, A memoir with a Twist,Wisdom from the Wounded Healer, The Suicidal Wounded Child and my book to be published late spring of 2023, The Wizard Behind the Curtain, The Life Story of a Notorious Criminal.
• An Affiliate Program for the sale of eCourses and eBooks from the Vault of The Wannabe Book Launch Series, directly tied to the Flagship Course, Let’s Create an Epic Book Launch.
• An Affiliate Program designed for other Authors to promote and sell their books. But the unique aspect of this program will be twofold. One, your books will be listed on an external site where you will receive 100% commission for the sale of your book in two formats. PDF (Downloadable after purchase) from your uniquely created store, paid directly to a paypal account setup by you and as a audio book (if so desired by you). Secondly, when someone signs up to promote your book, they will be given a unique link to an affiliate sale. Because you will be able to price your book at whatever price point you choose, make 100% commission, you then will choose what percentage your affiliate will receive. The recommendations will be 10%, 15%, or 20%, all of which will be the choice of the author. This program is currently under development and expected to roll out in the early Spring of this year, 2023.

• And this brings me to the fourth affiliate program which is for Book Readers and Book Reviewers. Because the app I use for creating your unique Author Store has the ability to list and create sales pages for your book at more than one price, there will be an agreed upon price for a hidden downloadable book specifically for  book readers and book reviewers only, once they sign up to be an affiliate. They then will be asked to write a testimonial or a book review that will become yours to add to your website, your email marketing or your social media marketing. If they truly enjoyed your book and want to sell your book (at the higher price) as an affiliate, they will then receive a unique affiliate link to promote and sell your books and make money doing so.

Conclusion

Affiliate marketing is a very effective method to earn money through your website. The key to success is choosing to promote a product that generates genuine interest in blog readers, video viewers and through social media. Remember, it is very important to create good content on your website, which brings valuable knowledge to your readers. This way you generate trust in the users. Content should not be salesy but should be written to capture the attention of the reader.
