My 2 Cents For Your Success
Posted on November 4th, 2008 by SOB under Affiliate MarketingI was reading Chad’s blog this morning, and it reminded me of something, that a very well established marketer once told me.
Here is what he told me. When you run an offer, don’t run it too narrowly ie. let’s say that you are trying to build a campaign for “green tea diet” – now, green tea, like many other weight loss products is a fad, which sooner or later will be replaced by another new and better weight loss product. So, when building that campaign, don’t just use keywords like “green tea” “green tea diet” “green tea weight loss” etc. Go broader. Attack the weight loss market, and not just green tea. Try keywords such as “quick weight loss” “natural weight loss” etc. You get the point.
One other thing I want to mention, 2 words, “Go International“. Really. I mean it. Have you even looked at Canadian or UK markets for your niche? You might wanna check it out. Ton of money there, and lesser competition.
Good Luck.

I’m just getting into the affiliate marketing game. Just wondering how exactly I would go about targeting international markets? Do you have any quick, noob advice for me? Perhaps an article you could point me to?
Your blog rocks, Thanks.

Here is how I start with my intl offerings. I don’t jump onto markets that I have no idea about. For instance, I have not attempted to go after spanish speaking markets, since I have no idea about them. Plus, lets say even if I made an LP for spanish speaking customers, the merchant lp will not be in spanish, thus wasting my money. Go after English speaking intl markets like Canada, UK, Australia and your cpc will be much lower, and epc be high. Keep in mind, they will not compare to the traffic and volume you would get with US markets, but you will have a lot less competition.

Here is how I make shitloads of money in UK & CA. For example, let my ad title be “Go International“.
The uk version:
“Go International, cheers“
The canadian verson:
“Go International, eh“
