Affiliate Marketing is a business. It's a performance-based marketing model where some company sells a product (vendor), and independent publishers (affiliates) promote it. If an affiliate’s recommendation leads to a sale (or another tracked action depending on the vendor's goals), the affiliate earns a commission. This is what Affiliate Launch Labs website is all about.
As with any business, there are rules that make your promotion successful or not. Inside our sections, I'll try to detail out each of them in plain language.
Here are the sections that the Affiliate Launch Labs website is made of.
Labs
The Affiliate Launch Labs will discuss in details the four pillars of affiliate marketing and launch systems within its sections, or Labs.
Offer Selection Lab
Here we will show the basics of choosing the right offer to promote. Since not all offers are created equal and for all niches, this is one of the most important choices affiliate marketers have to make before doing anything else.
Traffic Lab
The moment you know the product you intend to promote, you start planning the traffic - the way you will get people to visit your landing pages.
Pre-Sell & Email Lab
It is generally not a good practice to send people directly to the product sales page. A much better approach is sending them to a landing page where you can warm them up and show them exactly what's waiting for them in their next step.
Conversion & Optimization Lab
After some traffic to the landing page and the offer itself, you can identify the best performing systems. Instead of burning ad money for the low-converting pages, you should consider redirecting all your traffic to the best ones, which can drastically improve your earnings.
Resources
Inside the Resources section, I will make different resources that help starting an affiliate marketing career. This include
- marketing checklists,
- landing page templates and ideas,
- case studies of successful campaigns,
- and more.
Reviews
There are countless tools available that any online marketer can grab in order to succeed, some free, some paid. Through the years, I've compiled myself a list of my favorite tools that I'm using every day. I will try to show how I use them, to what purpose, and talk about their pros and cons for a beginner marketer.
I will also do my best to present other apps and systems that may benefit any marketer.
Blog
The Affiliate Launch Labs website was initially drafted as a simple blog, where mine and guest posts about affiliate marketing would find theit home. So I've kept the Blog section alive and will feed it with information I believe is interesting to affiliate marketers.
Frequently asked questions
Here are some of the most asked questions about affiliate marketing.
Can anyone become an affiliate marketer?
Absolutely. You only need some basic tools to start. Later on you can start using more advanced tools that will make it easier and faster.
Is it hard to choose a good product to promote?
Not really. With some basic knowledge about the affiliate networks (ClickBank, JVZoo, Warrior+, etc) you can find good offers relatively easy. As we will focus on ClickBank affiliate network, you can start by downloading the 5-Point Top Offer Checklist for free.
Which affiliate network is the best?
They're all good - it depends on your chosen niche and marketing style. Since we'll talk mosstly about ClickBank, I can say it is one of the largest, with weekly payouts and more.
Do I need a website?
Not absolutely mandatory, but definitely helpful. The basic rules demand your own landing pages, which one can build on platforms that do those things, but having your own website will definitely help you build authority and trust, as well as build traffic campaigns via SEO (blog posts).
