Best ways to get an audience for affiliate marketing – for beginners

affiliate marketing for beginners

Getting an audience for affiliate marketing is unlike any business model. Research is your important component. We show you the tools you need.

Starting out in affiliate marketing can be a daunting challenge. Not least because of the research and the avenues of information you will travel to get to your chosen destination. Below is a list of the best ways to get an audience. Choose a profitable niche, know the audience, stick with products you know and track your results.

Choose a Profitable Niche you are interested in

The first thing to do is find your niche. This can be something that you enjoy, think about everyday or have a wealth of information that you can share. Don’t choose a subject that is the most profitable that you know little about, especially if you want to get an audience.

When looking for a niche to tap into, think of it as a problem you can help solve. Some of them include Japanese knotweed. You could make YouTube videos, downloads and tips on the best actions to help treat it. If you are making content for a niche, try and find out what problems they have and also type of questions they might need to answer.

Do you find something in your daily life really interesting? Is there something that you spend a lot of time reading about, learning or improving? We all have an interest of some kind. Turn that interest, hobby or favourite pastime to a profitable niche. You can follow steps like writing about it to see if this is something you can become an affiliate.

Know the Audience

Who is your audience? It may sound like a broad question, but in reality this is the best way to speed up the process of targeting. You will see from Facebook Ads and Google Ads, that you can target demographics. These demographics include location, age, language, interests and lifestyle to name but a few.

Using this level of information helps you test different audiences. If you test 18-24 age group that are interested in Hockey in London for example, you might see that it can be pretty broad. That is where you will need to target even further. Having the knowledge behind what other factors make them interested in your blog can help determine the scale of your audience. This will help you increase your reach, finding those who might not be on social media for example and what they look for.

It is also useful to search via websites such as ubersuggest. You can search the keywords of your niche and see how many searches they get. It also has tools that allow you to find other words that might be suitable.

Similar websites that already exist, search through their twitter followers. Follow them back and look at the type of followers they have. Are they similar to what you had in mind?

Stick With Products You Know

The niche you have chosen will need to be part of what you are interested in and that you have a passion for. You might also be very knowledgeable about a niche such as a sport. This sport will already have a large following of like minded people. Setting your audience will help because the audience might be like you. Affiliate marketing is all about reading the room and finding out where to get interest for your blog or links.

 

  • Could you stand up and talk to a group of people about this subject?
  • Do you spend hours upon hours talking, watching video about it?

 

If yes to those questions, then this is a niche that could be the best for you. You afterall, are going to be putting the effort in. If this is something that you are doing just because it is profitable, then you’ll get bored. The thing is, affiliate marketing is a longer term goal rather than a shorter one.

Using google you can search to find the questions your customers are asking. This is a simple and effective way to understand what kind of blogs, social media posts and youtube videos you can make. Click on those searches and keep going, see how many questions there are related to this and list them all in a spreadsheet.

Track Your Affiliate Stats and Results

Understanding how to get an audience is one thing, but seeing how you are doing is critical. Afterall, if you don’t think it is working, how do you improve? Big companies have entire departments dedicated to continuous improvement. With affiliate marketing, this is another crucial step. You have found your audience, managed to target them via email, paid ads and social media. Once you have built a campaign and sent it, how do you know it has worked?

Google Analytics is a must for any blog out there. Let’s face it, Google are the biggest search engine, but they are more than that. It allows you to see just how many visitors come to your blog.

Google Campaign URL builder is another must-have. This can also be used to give you much more data on what links are clicked. This is especially good if you are sending emails. You can use this to track each and every visit through the Campaign section of analytics.

Of course, Clickbank, JVZoo etc will also have methods of tracking sales, they are great, but do consider other methods too. You can track sales, yes, but if it is not a sale and visitors drop off at certain points, you then ask yourself why. This can be down to many things such as the button not being visible,  wrong images etc. Tweak those things until they start converting.

Ted McGrath mini course review

This review of Ted’s products is really about delving in and seeing what it actually entails from a marketing perspective and if is is a scam or value. In essence this is one of those courses that shows you how to sell a course. Now Ted McGrath is pretty active on social media and in the realm of internet marketing circles. His personal brands sell him as an author, public speaker and coach, well who isn’t these days.

To many, his ads are yet another course that taps into how you could improve or start your business with just one concept. In this case, we talk about mini courses. So I decided to find out more about this course and let you know if it is worth looking at further.

To start with, there is not much info in terms of what you are getting with the course. Some notes or a list of modules would have been handy, though I guess part of his marketing is that if it is free, then just sign up and find out – it’s free!

 

You are now a member

As an affiliate marketer, you will know that contact details such as name and email are a commodity. To no change there, you do have to become a member first, simply enter your name and email, then you get confirmation.

This screenshot shows you the kind of entry you have. Very simple, looks like a white label type approach.

ted mcgrath entry

 

Modules

The Ted McGrath mini course is split into modules. Easy to navigate and it also tracks your progress.

There are three modules:

Module 1: Where Your Mini-Course Falls In Your Product Stack

Module 2: Brainstorming And Validating Your Course Idea

Module 3: Creating EXPERT Course Materials From Home

From here you can see what you are getting with the course. Clearly Ted has found that these are the best parts of the result.

 

In addition to this, there are some bonus materials so if you finish the course and have questions, or have specific problems related to these bonuses, well you are in luck.

Course design by video

We all know that video is a huge converter, impressive in every way. Ted uses this for each of the modules. The production value as below, is a little basic. Walking around in a garden is likely not the best setting, however it is likely that he chose this approach to be more ‘intimate’ and project an honest view. Whatever his branding goes by, it fits with a free course, maybe not a paid one at $47 which is the list price.

 

The content

Overall the content is designed I would say for more of a beginner or somebody who wants to take their product to another level higher than they are. Informative yes, and he breaks down features such as email funnels and how you can use them. Ted makes new product each week, yes each week, so has no end of information to produce for you.

As Ted states: ‘walking around with an iphone in your hand, you can create a new product’. That opens a door onto how he makes content like this, delivers it and analyses it further. Using a vehicle such as video within the course modules is an easy way for Ted to make content.

Ted mentions about a cycle of creating content, pushing it out and marketing it, then going back and making more products. By products it is literally using an iphone.

There is a download file option, once clicked and downloaded it is not actually anything related to the course, merely a sales document, that was dissapointing.

Conclusion

Is the course legit? Yes, for a free course it is helpful and gives some insight from someone who clearly has made success from this.

Is it worth the $47 price tag? Subjective, but ultimately if you are very new to it, then you will find value, however is $47 worth something that might be summed up in a blog?

The videos are not edited, they are a little rushed in places. Ted has a narrative for sure, and breaks it down, but it lacks some creativity and a personal touch.

Overall the content was informative, but could have been broken down into course notes, additional questions, scenarios and some highlighted points that form an action plan. The ideas are valid, they do give you some perspective. From a marketer myself, there were a few things that I wrote down to look at, but mostly it was information that I knew already, just needed to join the dots.

The approach for this is get them out fast. You can clearly re-market things, and Ted’s way of doing this clearly works. You simply re-market it and create products in a cycle. So it is worth a try if you have the time and patience to follow in his footsteps!

 

 

Keyword research for free – quick guide [2022]

Let’s start with where your keywords need to be. You can use this to see how your page compares. In this guide we are researching outdoor pizza ovens. So we need to find out what customers are searching for. There are a few ways you can do this for free. Google is a good place to start. As any customer would do, they normally search for a short search term like this. That usually means that they don’t really know what they want, brands, types or prices.

google search bar

Google can give us some clues based on what popular searches are for this product. For example, if we go further down the page we can see some results that indicate what visitors are looking for.

search results for bbq

What this is telling us is that customers often try searching again for more specific results such as ‘stone pizza oven’ ‘aldi pizza oven’ wood fired pizza ovens’ and ‘best outdoor pizza oven’. Does your content have these alternate keywords included?

Include these keywords in a smart way. Don’t just put them into the content where they are forced, this is called keyword stuffing – Google has been wise to this for many years. Instead, find out which of these is more important for your content. You might not stock all these items, so it is worth filtering out the ones that are relevant to you, relevance plays a big part of SEO. There are many plugins that can help you with this, so worth a try.

Use them as headings or key part of your content

The keyword ‘best outdoor pizza oven’ would make a perfect blog article. You can structure a blog article on 5,8 or 10 of the best outdoor pizzas. Have a link in your product page to this blog, it is relevant. You can also compare this product to other products that you have. This makes for a great piece of reading for the customer. There might be features that your customer is looking, is your competitor doing this?

Back to the search for the keywords, if you click the search bar in google, you can also find similar search questions plus a few more (below). This is all based entirely on customer searches and is updated automatically. This is a good building block to see just how far you can drill down to capitalize on your keywords.
