credit cards, loans
 Insurers collect data & contact applicants
 Automobile & Car launches, test drives
 Survey based leads
 Utility companies & education courses
 Offline products
14
 Get sample leads before agreeing price
 Don’t give incentives for providing info
 IP & Fraud checks to ensure unique responses are
collected
 Ask very relevant and targeted questions
 If using PPC or SEO, use long-tailed keywords
 Once you have leads, respond quickly & be direct
 Don’t purchase leads, the math dosen’t add up
15
Focus on generating content
that readers want to read and
click on. Then only you can
have a SUSTAINABLE Affiliate
marketing business, rather
than getting adhoc clicks &
sales
#Video Content is HOT
nowadays!

Understand who your audience
is.
Pick Affiliate campaigns to
promote accordingly.
Analyse performance regularly
& strategise.
#Data Segmentation is KEY!
#Stay Relevant.
#2. Know Your
Audience
17
Some Affiliates focus on
diverting existing sales
through them & earning. These
games don’t last long & give
the industry a bad name.
#Focus on growing the pie i.e.
number of people actually
shopping online. Then only we
all benefit
#3. Play Clean.
Don’t Steal.
Grow the Pie
18
Add value so people WANT to
Click through your link e.g.
Cashback = sharing your
commission
Reviews = help making informed
decisions
#Run sites with the aim of
generating repeat business
#4. Add Value to
your Members
19
If you can build a brand, you
can monitise it, get back much
more than only Sales’ worth.
