5 Important Skills Which Every Affiliate Marketer Should Have
In this post, l will quickly share with you some of the most important skills that you need as an affiliate – so that you can master them.
Obviously, you might not necessarily need to master all of them, but the more skills you have the better.
Thus, read till the end if you want to learn more about these skills.
Important Skills:
Without further ado, let me briefly explain each of these.
1. SEO
If you want to get some free organic traffic that's highly targeted, then you need to learn SEO.
This allows you to rank your content on either Google or YouTube i.e. for specific keywords – thus, allowing you to get in front of more eyebrows.
Thus, it's very important to learn SEO ASAP – so that you wont struggle to get free traffic.
I wont rant too much about SEO – because l have detailed articles which explains both YouTube & Google SEO i.e.
2. Running Paid Ads
It's also important to master the art of paid traffic i.e. if you want to scale up ASAP.
Free SEO traffic is great – however, it takes time to rank your content on Google & YouTube.
For this reason, you might need to run some paid ads in the short run – so that you can get some early traffic ASAP – whilst waiting to rank on Google.
Not only that, but paid ads allows you to scale up much quicker – since it allows you to get in front of more eyebrows ASAP.
Thus, it's also important to learn how to run paid ads on your own – though it's also possible to delegate this task to someone else.
3. Copywriting
Another important skill is copywriting.
This allows you to persuade people to buy your offers i.e. through written text.
If you're great at copywriting, you’ll be able to entice people to take action – without directly asking them to do so i.e. people will sell themselves.
Thus, it's also important to master this skill – so that you can turn visitors into paying customers i.e. through your written text (blog posts or landing pages).
4. Website/Landing Page Design
It's also important to learn how to design websites & landing pages.
Although you can outsource this staff, you should have some general skills regarding website/landing page development.
This allows you to design your own affiliate websites/blogs & landing pages – which you can use to promote your affiliate offers.
And you don't have to be a pro developer to design simple websites – since there's some tools & softwares these days which helps to simplify this process.
5. Conversion Rate Optimisation (CRO)
Last but not least, it's also important to learn about conversion rate optimisation.
Most affiliates always worry about getting more traffic – but it's not necessarily about how much traffic you get, but it's how much you convert into paying customers.
If you get a thousand visitors – but then, only 1 person converts into a paying customer, it means that you have a 0.1% conversion rate – which isn't that good at all.
In this case, you’ll need to first work on your conversions – so that you can get at least a 2% conversion rate i.e. 20 paying customers per every 1000 visits.
Because if you just work on getting more traffic without fixing your conversions, most of that traffic will go to waste.
Thus, it's important to work on this skill.
NB: This includes staff like page layout, colours used, placement of CTA buttons, etc.
Wrapping Up
So these are some of the skills that you need to master as an affiliate.
Once you master them, you'll see some improvements in your affiliate career.
