Low Budget Affiliate Marketing Through PPC, Part 2

Okay now that I have covered the bad things and don’t on the previous post, its time I’m going to look at budget saving methods of affiliate marketing. Although SEO is the best method you can look forward to build long term traffic for your niche site, PPC is indeed an effective time consuming method.

Every affiliate marketer should look forward to be a PPC master and there are ways you can build a great campaign on a low budget.

Slow and Steady

Patience, my friend is a great virtue. There are a lot of ways you can make money on a limited budget, doing it slowly is the only best option available. Set your daily budget at what you can afford. Do modifications to your keyword list if needed. It may take a much longer time to accumulate data and optimize but it’s worth waiting.

Utilizing the vouchers

You can always find those free vouchers to start with. Yahoo is always offering free voucher options so that you can learn the system without shelling a lot of bucks. You can use yahoo vouchers as many times as you want. To get a $100 voucher, you only have to deposit $30 into your account. You can however setup 10 accounts and may be get a free $1000 in clicks to test out your campaign. Setup a real campaign with keywords/landing pages and then you can scale it out with a credit card.

Keywords

Don’t always go for the first place of google. Sometimes being in 3 rd or 4th place makes more sales than in 1st position. It is a lot cheaper too. Look for the long tail keywords that is related to your product or describes your product very precisely. Try to utilize the negative keywords, may be you can find the goldmine with them.

Cheap traffic sources

Google is like a hungry shark and requires a bit of money to get rolling in. But that surely doesn’t mean you don’t need to play with Google adwords. Besides, it’s where traffic is at. I say go with yahoo, it is cheaper and better converting than Google. MSN is even cheaper than yahoo. Other advertising networks like Kontera, Ask, Bidvertiser, Advertising etc are all can be cheap but the traffic quality sometimes sucks.

Free Advertising sites

I don’t think free advertising is the way to go. You can start with them but they are of no use. I have tested a few of them but had no luck at all and can’t say free advertising will do the job PPC does. When it is about affiliate marketing, It’s about quality and targeted traffic which is hard to find with free advertising.

Do Not Give Up!

It can be time consuming and costly to run a campaign but testing and tweaking the system is the way to go. Don’t give up. Work on your campaign, look for new keywords, edit your landing page if needed and know you are all set right after you get the first sale.
