4. Use our widget
Install our widget to allow your audience buy domains straight from your website. This is a great time-saving option to get more sales. You can customize the color and size of the widget to better suit your blog design.
5. Post regularly
With affiliate marketing, your website content is one of the main forces pushing your sales forward. The more product reviews, excerpts of visitor feedback, and other pieces of useful information you can publish on your blog or website, the greater the chance you have of attracting visitors.
Regular posting engages your audience, establishes credibility and tends to improve website traffic and SEO. It's also important to reuse your old articles so you can refer new users to the advertisers you talked about previously again.
6. Choose a content style
Here are some examples of things to post on your site on a regular basis to keep your audience engaged. Most of these could also double up as a place for your affiliate links:
- "How-To" guides
- Product reviews
- Product or price comparisons
- "Best of" Post
- Video tutorials
- Email newsletters
Add your affiliate links to the content type you think would best suit your website. The higher the quality of the content you post, the better your website will rank among other search results.
7. Generate more traffic
For this step, you can experiment with numerous methods, such as building an email list of your subscribers, promoting your content via social media and diving into the world of search engine optimization (SEO).
The sky's the limit here, but your efforts will pay off once your audience turns into your referrals.
