Scaling Your Affiliate Campaign

November 29th, 2007 Derek

So, you’ve finally gotten your first niche started and your making a profit finally after testing a couple different niches. Your making 10, 20, or even 50 dollars a day from your niche…what’s next?

The next step is to move on to the next niche and do it again….JUST KIDDING! Although this is what most affiliates do and it baffles me beyond belief. Am I saying that you shouldn’t do other niches and that you should only continue to work on your one niche?

Absolutely not!!!

However, before moving on to the next niche you need to make sure that your getting the most from the current niche your in as possible. When you are first starting a niche, you carefully review the niche, you study it, you study your competitors, their ads, their keywords, and so on. In other words you learn a lot about the niche your in so why get it to be a profit and then just forget about it? I’ve never been able to understand someone taking the time to learn all about a niche only to get it to make 10 dollars a day and then move on to the next niche and start all over!

Below you will find the checklist I use to help me scale my affiliate campaigns.

Research More Keywords for Your Niche!

As your fine tune your campaigns and clean up your lists, removing keywords that don’t convert, you should start seeing a trend with your keywords and which ones are converting. Most campaigns affiliates start with they use broad general search terms related to their niche, but once you have data on which keywords are converting, you then need to go back to your favorite keyword tool(s) and gather up more keywords related to the ones that are converting!

Research Similar Niches

Affiliates, enough anyways, don’t realize just how much time and effort they put into learning a niche, but you do! So take a look at the different cpa companies out there and see if you can find similar niches to test. Most times you can find similar niches to the one your currently doing where your current knowledge can help you succeed in that niche as well.

Are you Still Bidding the Same for Every Keywords?

After you have worked on testing landing pages, ad copy, etc and your ROI is decent, do you still bid the same for each keyword? Many affiliates do not track keywords and are not able to tell you which ones are converting, which is plain stupid! Track your keywords and start increasing bids per keywords instead of per adgroup or even worse per campaign.

Don’t be LAZY!

Just because you have testing your landing pages, ad copy, etc does not mean you should stop, there is always ways to improve and you should constantly be working on improving your ROI (return on investment). Don’t become a LAZY Affiliate!

Now Give Me The Big Juicy Secret to Affiliate Marketing

Okay here it is… There isn’t one! There is not big secret, of course there are little tips and tricks to make things easier, but the main thing to worry about is Testing and then Scaling your campaigns. If you can accomplish these two steps the rest is a breeze. I’m not saying they are easy steps, it takes alot of work and dedication and research, but its no secret!

How should we know when we should start a new niche site then? It’s true that a bigger site is definitely than many smaller sites. But I guess some people are comfortable in getting $10/site for 100 such sites. :)

Nice one Altace. I support you kind of, $10 per site for a hundred sites should be something like a grand which is not bad.
