How To Make Fast Sales As An Affiliate On Warrior Plus

I got this question today from one of my Facebook friends, ‘ How to make fast sales as an affiliate on warrior plus?.  In order to answer that question, I decided to create this post so that I can show you step by step how you can do it.

How to make fast sales as an affiliate on warrior plus

Step 1: Find a high converting offer

In order to select a good offer to promote on Warrior Plus you need to click on the affiliate tab then offers as shown in the image below.

https://warriorplus.com/affiliate/offers

How To Make Fast Sales As An Affiliate On Warrior Plus

 

The offer will be arranged in a popularity order (the one that makes most of the sales on the given day will be at the top ).

This is my recommendation for selecting affiliate offers.

Select an offer that has a price point of $5 and $20

These offers are easier to sell, just make sure they have an upsell so that when a person buys from you, you have a chance to make money from upsells they might buy.

Select affiliate offers that were launched between 3 to 12 months ago.

Most Warrior Plus vendors want to attract super-affiliates during their launch period and in order to do this they need to keep high numbers like conversion ratio, visitor value, and low refund rates, so if you don’t have any sales yet there is a high possibility that you won´t be approved.

In order to increase your chance you need to choose products that were launched 3 to 12 months ago, this won’t hurt the vendor so much and probably big guys are not promoting it anymore so it is easier for the vendor to approve you, I won’t go further than that.

When you make some sales, you can start to apply for new launches and this can skyrocket your profit.

Select offers with 1000+ sales

You need to promote a product with more than 1000 sales, this is because if the product can’t sell at least 1000 units after 3 months probably it is not a good product to sell.

Select offers with a conversion ratio of 10%+

You need to select a product with a conversion ratio of 10% or more, this means that for every 10 visitors you sent to the offer at least one purchase it, this is not an exact science, it could be a little bit more or a little bit less but I won’t go to promote a product with less than 5% conversion ratio.

Select affiliate offers with a $1 visitor value.

This means roughly you will make $1 for every persona that clicks that affiliate link, for example, if you send 100 visitors you will be expected to make around $100, again this is not an exact science, it can vary depending on your call to action and traffic source.

The higher this number the better, don’t promote offer below $0.8 visitor value.

Select offers with less than a 10% refund ratio.

This is the number of people who purchased the product but decided to request their money back, this may be because the product is fraudulent, or the product didn’t deliver the promise on the sales page (that is why you need to buy the product for yourself first), even if the product is perfect some people will still ask for a refund, this is the nature of this business.

You need to make sure that the refund ratio is less than 10%, this means you will have one refund for every 10 sales, this is not bad, for me personally I go for products with less than 5%.

So these are 6 things you should consider when it comes to selecting Warrior Plus products to promote as an affiliate after you find the products that reach those requirements then move to the next step.

Step2: Create a Squeeze Page

How To Make Fast Sales As An Affiliate On Warrior Plus

 

Go to https://warriorplus.com/affiliate/offers

If you were approved to promote the offer you should see a green icon with getting link message.

dcb

Note

I know this offer does not fit in the criteria above, I used that actually as a case study, yes I did make fast sales but the conversion rate was not that great, that is why you want to select a product with a higher conversion rate.

You should be able to see a screen like this, just copy your affiliate link.

dcb

Paste that link where it says on submit go to, then click the big save button you’re done for this time.

Cloak your link

After creating your squeeze page, connecting it to your autoresponder you need to cloak your link, we are going to use Bitly for this.

dcb

 

After setting up everything you will get your squeeze page link, I do not recommend to directly promote this link, I will recommend cloaking it.

In order to cloak your affiliate link, I will recommend using bit.ly. Just go to bit.ly, create an account (it is free ).

bitly

 

 

Click on the create button, copy the long ugly affiliate link that you got from Clickbank and paste it where it says PASTE LONG URL, then click create, that is it you will get the link like this one. bit.ly/37zF3mW

Step 3: Test if it works

Now you have done the hard work, you need to test if everything is working, just click your own link or open it to a new browser, use your email address to opt-in, make sure it redirects you to your affiliate offer, and make sure that you get the first email from your autoresponder.

If something is wrong fix it before you move to the next step.

Note:

Most people skip this step, trust me you do not want to send people to your page and they can not opt-in or they do not get your email, please make sure you do this step.

Step 4: Get fast traffic to the squeeze page 

To get fast and good quality traffic we are going to use solo ads, this is the issue, most people will tell you that this traffic does not work, it does just need to promote certain offers, and warrior plus offer a perfect for this.

For solo ads, we are going to use Udimi

To get started just go to Udimi.com and sign up for free.

udimi

Buy your solo ads

I will recommend buying 100 clicks, this will help you to evaluate your squeeze page and if the traffic is good enough you should be able to make a sale if not,  do not buy from that seller again.

Just log in to your Udimi account and click find sellers.

I will recommend buying clicks that cost less than 0.5 and a seller must have at least 20% sales and more than 100 reviews, here is the filter I use.

udimi

Before you buy you can contact the seller, you can ask them how they build their list, and you can even subscribe to it ( in order to see what kind of offers they send to their list).

If you find a seller that reaches those criteria, select that seller, pay for the traffic (either by Paypal or by Credit/Debit card) and provide them a link.

The results you should expert

There are three things here that will determine your success, your squeeze page, the offer, and the quality of traffic.

Squeeze page

When I tried that squeeze page it converted at 30 percent, I sent 104 visitors and 30 people joined my list, that is a decent opt-in ratio but I could do better. You should expect the opt-in rate of 20 to 50, if it is on the lower end try to tweak your squeeze page, modify your wording, color, or style and test again.

Traffic

The quality of traffic+the squeeze page will determine the opt-in rate if you know that the squeeze page always converts better but from this traffic source, it is converting lower, buy traffic from another seller.

Again if you get an opt-in rate between 40 and 50 % that is great, keep getting more traffic.

Product

This is why it is important to select an offer with at least a conversion rate of 10% if you send, 100 clicks and 40 people opt-in, it means that 40 people will see the offer if you have an offer that converts at 10% you will have 4 sales but if you have an offer that converts at 3% you will make one sale, that can make and break your business, always select a high converting offer to promote.

You should always test small, (buy just 100 clicks for less than $50), if it works great buy more if it does not, no worries you try the next seller, or you change optimize your squeeze page and test again.

My results

In this campaign, I got 39 new people on my list and I made two commissions for a total of $16

Sales

sale

Leads

solo

I invested $46, I was able to make back $16, I could have made more if I had chosen a higher converting offer, also remember I got 39 people on my list that I can send them emails and make sales when they buy in the future, this is how you build your list and make money at the same time.

Final words

That is it, this is how you make fast sales as an affiliate on warrior plus, if you have some cash go and test it, let me know how it worked for you.

HOW TO START AN AFFILIATE MARKETING BLOG

 

HOW TO START AN AFFILIATE MARKETING BLOG

If you have been doing online business for some time you might hear people telling you that blogging is dead, let me tell you that it is not true, they are just trying to sell you something.

In this post, I am going to highlight the importance of blogging for affiliate marketers and how you can start your own affiliate marketing blog.

Importance of blogging for affiliate marketers

Blogs are an essential part of your affiliate strategy. You can use them to promote your own products or to promote other people products i.e. affiliate marketing.

If you post quality content on your blog, search engines, such as Google and Bing, will reward your blog with some of the highest quality prospects for free.

When people start reading and sharing your content, your blog authority will increase with time. That means when you put content on a blog it shows up quickly in search engines and people will find your blog posts and you’ll start to build up a relationship with prospects. Each post on your blog is actually a separate webpage – so you can create a huge content and keyword-rich “website” by blogging frequency.

How to Get Started With a Blog

I use WordPress for all my blog and if you’re just starting out I will recommend that you do the same as it is very easy to start a WordPress blog.

Here is one of my blog traffic after three months of posting one or two articles per week then posting it on facebook.

 

traffic

 

Not bad for blogging two times per week and an investment of a few dollars for domain name and hosting.

Blogs are not an expensive investment and can help bring you an online second paycheck very quickly. Here are the steps to get it set-up.

Step #1 – Pick a niche.

A niche is a market you want to get in, your blog should target a specific group of people, for example, weight loss is a niche but weight loss for women is more specific, you can start a blog about weight loss for women and post tips and recommendations about this topic to your audience.

Also, you can target a certain hobby, for example, you can start a blog about football (soccer) or you can go a little bit deep and start a blog about Arsenal football club and targeting their fan base as your prospects.

When it comes to choosing a niche you should make sure that you have interest in it, this is very important because it is not fun to write about something you don’t like or enjoy and people can actually spend money in it (this is how you will make sales).

Step #2 – Buy a domain name.

You must have your own domain name if you want to promote affiliate products using a WordPress blog. However, if you don’t have money to spend, you can buy a domain name for just $1 at GoDaddy, just google ‘GoDaddy one dollar domains’, but if you have $10 I will recommend buying your domains at namecheap.com

NOTE: You want to pick a title that has some type of related keyword in the title. If possible go for a .com.

Unfortunately, a lot of the best domain names are gone, so you’ll need to be creative. Keep it short and snappy if possible.

Step #3 – Host Your Blog

Pick a good company to host your WordPress blog. Blogs hosted for free on the WordPress.com servers are not allowed to have any type of advertising (including affiliate links) so that’s why you need to buy your own domain name and find a hosting provider to put your blog on.

If you are new and this is your first blog, I will recommend that you host your blog at Hostgator. This is because there are cheap and they can handle a low traffic site.

But when you start having some traffic to your blog and making some money (for me I will say if you get more than 1000 page views per day) you will need to get a more reliable web hosting, my highest recommendation when it comes to web hosting is WpxHosting.

If you have some extra cash, you can skip Hostgator and start with WpxHosting from day one.

Step #4 – Install your blog

Installing a WordPress blog is very easy, you can just go to your hosting dashboard and find a WordPress icon, click it follow the instructions and in 1 minute you will have WordPress installed in your servers.

But I know this is not easy for everyone so my recommendation to you is to go to fiverr.com and for $5 you can get someone to install and configure your blogger.

 If do you want a really nice design and premium themes there are a lot of guys that can do that for you in fiverr.com for less than $100.

Step #5 – Add WordPress Plug-Ins to Your Blog

WordPress plug-ins enhance the effectiveness of your blog. Some plug-ins help with SEO, others help arrange comments, while others help you track stats with Google Analytics. Even without any plug-ins, WordPress is great, but adding a bunch of these free plug-ins will “soup up” your blog and make it work even better.

You can find the plugins at http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/.  Some of the plugins that I use on this blog  are:

Akismet – A comment spam manager that is part of the base WordPress install.  You really need to enable this plugin otherwise you’ll get all types of spam on your blog.

Yoast Seo – This plugin really helps improve your Google ranking.  The higher your rankings, the more traffic you get.  The more traffic you get, the more opportunities to make some money and gain some readers.

WP-Super-Cache – This dramatically decreases the load on the hosting provider’s server so everyone stays happy in case you get a lot of traffic. If you don’t have this and you get a lot of traffic to your blog, your hosting company could shut down your site.

Most Popular Posts – This plug-in allows you to list the most popular posts according to the number of views or comments.

Pretty Links – There is a free version of this plugin, which allows you to mask and shorten affiliate links you might be promoting on your website.

 Google Analytics Dashboard for WP (GADWP)- Displays Google Analytics Reports and Real-Time Statistics in your Dashboard. Automatically inserts the tracking code in every page of your website.

Jetpack by WordPress.com-Bring the power of the WordPress.com cloud to your self-hosted WordPress. Jetpack enables you to connect your blog to a WordPress.com account to use the powerful features normally only available to WordPress.com users.

Smush-Reduce image file sizes, improve performance and boost your SEO.

Wordfence Security – Anti-virus, Firewall, and Malware Scan

 

Step #6– Get a Google Account & Use Analytics to Track Your Blog Stats

I really recommend getting a Google Account – https://www.google.com/accounts/.  Use Google Analytics to provide statistics on your blog traffic (use Google Analytics Dashboard for WP for WordPress if you use this service).

 

Step #7 –Get an Autoresponder.

 You need to build your email list if you want a long term success with your affiliate marketing career.

In simple words list building is the process of collecting email address from your prospects, you give them something valuable to them, they give you their email address in exchange., then you send them emails with tips and recommendations, and you may include your affiliate links in those, if they buy you make money.

To get started you need to create an account with aweber.com and then create a form that will integrate with your blog, there is a plugin for that and again if you don’t know how to do this you can get someone to do it for you for just $5 in fiverr.com

To get the sign-up form on your blog, you’ll simply need to get the HTML code for the sign-up box to your blog/website developer and they’ll know what to do next.

 

Step #8 – Start writing/posting to your blog

As soon as you’ve set up your blog, write an introductory post welcoming your readers, introducing yourself, and describing the purpose of your blog. After that, be sure to post consistently. At the very least, you should post twice per week.

How to Create a Word Press Blog Post

 

1 – This is the screen you’ll see to start.

add new post

 

2 – Add the content in the main box.

add content

 

3 – Choose 3-6 tags related to the content. When you first start your blog, you won’t have any tags, but you can just enter a new tag name into the text box and add it. The tags you choose will be keywords and keyword phrases that show up in your content.

 

tags

 

4 – You also need to choose 1 category related to the content. Again, when you start your blog, you won’t have any categories, but you can just click the “Add New Category” link.  This will allow you to organize your blog posts by related content.

categories

 

 

5 – If you use the Yoast SEO plug-in, you can also enter in additional keywords and a title tag for the blog post. Scroll to the bottom of the post and enter in the “title”, “description”, and “keywords” related to your content.

yoast

 

6 – To add images within a post, look for the image icon in the top left of the screen you’ll see these icons. Click the square icon beside the word “insert”.

add media

 

7 – Once you click on the images icon, you’ll see this screen. Click “Select files” to choose your image and choose an alignment. You can also add in a caption (this will be keywords) and a link URL (if someone clicks the image it will take the visitor to that link). This example below requires the SEO Friendly Images plug-in.

add media 1

8 – Once you insert an image, you may have to resize the image to fit your post.

 

9 – To create a link within your blog post, highlight the text you want to use as the link text with your mouse and then click the little “chain link” icon (it will only be available if you’ve highlighted text in the post). Then type in your link URL and Insert.

link

10 – And if you want to insert a Youtube video into your blog post, you must first go to YouTube and copy the URL from youtube.

youtube

Then go back to your post and click add media, then insert from URL ( you will insert your youtube URL ) then click insert into post, your youtube video should be integrated into your post.

youtube

Click the Preview tab to make sure your blog looks the way you want it to, and then go back and hit the Publish to make it live on your site.

 

Step #9 Get traffic to your blog

 This might sound cliché, do you remember I said that we use a blog to drive traffic to our affiliate offer? That is true but when you have a new blog no one knows about it, it will take you forever to get traffic to it, you need to drive some traffic to it.

There are many ways to drive traffic to your blog but these three are my favorite.

 Niche related forums

You can find a forum for every market you’re in, just google ‘your niche+ forum’ you will find plenty of them. This is what you need to do.

 Step 1 find the forums

As I said google for forums in your niche and join three of them, look at the forums that are popular and have a lot of active members.

Step 2

After you join, introduce yourself in the forum, this will make many people notice you and participate in other people threads by giving advice and asking some questions, in short words be helpful.

 Step 3 add your blog URL

Most forums allow you to have a signature in your profile, just add a small description of your site and a link to it.

forum

How it works

When you participate in forums discussions, your signature will appear under your name and if you help people, they will start clicking to that link and will go to your blog and consume your content, some will sign up to your email list.

 Blog commenting

This is one of the oldest ways to get traffic to your blog, all you need to do is to find a popular blogger in your niche, you don’t know them great just google it.

For this strategy I will recommend you to find 10 to 20 popular blogs and subscribe to their email list or feed, each time they post new content, read it and write a constructive comment, put your name, email address and website URL in the boxes, then submit a comment.

comment

What will happen is that if you left a good comment the site owner will approve your comment and his/her readers will see that comment and when they click to your name they will be directed to your blog and by this way you will get a ton of traffic to your blog.

If you dedicate 30 minutes per day to comment on popular blogs, you will have enough traffic to make a full-time income online, just do it daily and you will be amazed by the results.

 

Pinterest.

I just added this method to my traffic arsenal, if you do this in the right way you will get an unlimited amount of traffic to your blog.

This is how you get traffic from pinterest.com

 Step 1

Create a business profile, this is simple just go to Pinterest and create a business profile if by accident you created a personal profile you can change it to business and follow the instructions.

Step 2

Verify your blog

In order to get access to Pinterest analytics, you will need to verify that you own a blog,  there is a plugin that can help you to verify your blog on Pinterest, you can use that.

 Step 3

Create 5 to 10 boards and add some pins on them.

You need to create 5 to 10 boards in your Pinterest profile, I will recommend using categories on your blog as board names and in each board add some related pins, you need to do this so that if someone visits your profile can see that it is an active profile and has some content in it.

Step 4

Find the influencers in your niche and follow their followers

This is the crucial point, you need to find some influencers in your niche, (for me anyone with more than 10k followers is an influencer) and follow their followers.

This is important, if these people are following someone who has content similar to yours there is a good possibility that they will like your content.

20 to 40 percent of these people you follow they will follow you back, I will recommend following at least 100 people per day and if you do this daily in a month you will have more than 500 followers, those are people who have shown interest in a content like yours and if you write good content for sure they will visit your blog.

 

Step 5

Join group boards

This is when things get serious when you get more than 100 followers you can start asking to join in group boards.

 This is how it works:

There are some large boards on Pinterest that has many contributors and many followers, all you need to do is to ask the moderator for that board to let you in as a contributor, once you’re in you can start posting your content in those board and get an insane amount of free traffic.

How to identify a group board

group board

The trick I use is to go to the profiles in my niche with a lot of followers and I start to examine their board, if you see a board with more than one image on it (like in the red circle in the image above), it is a group board, most of the time if you click to that board you will find instructions on how to joint it, just follow the instructions and they will let you in.

This is how you can drive an insane amount of traffic from Pinterest.

Final Word

This is how you start an affiliate blog and drive traffic to it, I know it sounds like a lot of work and to be honest with you it is (and it is a good thing because most people won’t do it and this reduces the competition).
