Introduction:
Affiliate marketing is one smart & easy way for an Online businessman to make money. To be an affiliate marketer you must be approved by an affiliate network to be able to sell their products. There are networks like Commission Junction that have hundreds of advertisers who are in need of people like yourself to promote their products.
Welcome to Peerfly:
What is Peerfly?
It is an affiliate network where you get to sell products offered by various agencies. Companies will have their own verification process to which you must answer faithfully and without lies.
But sometimes your approval ratings can be hard to come by. Unlike Google Adsense, not many are approved at the first attempt, on the contrary if any of you readers' have had a first time approval then congratulations!
At Peerfly, you get to promote offers from different sellers. You get paid for the leads you bring to your site who end up click on the affiliate links and you also are remunerated for sales that you make through your website. It basically also depends on which type of offer you select.
Peerfly is considered to be the best when it comes to affiliate network.
The company maintains security and quality to ensure best results for their clients.
There are offers that can make you money ranging from a few cents to a few hundreds of dollars and that's why it is hard to get an approval at the first attempt. A real game changer would be if your website already has a dedicated traffic and your visitor to subscriber conversion ratio is already very high. That would be one case where your application could be approved at the first attempt.
Let us take some tips on how to secure an approval from Peerfly:
Be Honest:
Once you sign up with Peerfly, it takes nearly 3 days to hear back from the folks back at Peerfly offices. It is not an automated email but from an actual human sitting on the other side of the desk.
And they are busy processing applications for people just like yourself, so be patient and hold tight!
I understand you must feel anxious during this process and it is very common, many feel the same way, but you must give them enough time to get back to you with a good news.
They might also ask you for further information if required, so do not feel surprised if you receive an additional email asking for your details. Be as open and friendly as you can be and let them see how willing you are to make it worthwhile for both you and Peerfly's clients.
Another major aspect being approved on Peerfly is that your site must have a professional look and feel to it. So, if you know that your website has a basic look or it is still associated with free blogging platforms such as Wordpress.com or Blogger, then you may not be approved or even allowed to proceed with the application procedure.
It is always a good habit to ensure that you are never rejected. I myself, employ this technique in everyday life, be a professional and be ready for everything beforehand, so nothing can surprise you. Also, take proper note in the content you have on your website.
Make sure none of it is copied, plagiarized or stolen from other contents. Doing so will only hurt your chances at being selected not only at Peerfly but also at other affiliate networks.
In some extreme cases, Google may also ban your site, and put you on a blacklist. Yes, that does happen!
Excellent Website Functionality:
This feature is extremely important if you're trying to impress your affiliate network. A flawless, purposeful and information rich website can never be turned down by any business.
If what you are providing is of some value then be confident that you will be approved. But try to do your best that you constantly work on improving your site's functionality and bug fixes. Never Spam anybody and never give anyone a chance to report you either!
That can hurt you a lot in terms of Google rankings.
A great technique that is advised by many Internet geeks is that you must never copy and paste any content, but it must be original and authentic.
One good way to go about it is, you can hire content writers to provide well written, plagiarism free content that is interesting to read and serves a great value to its' readers'. You can hire me, too, as well. :)
Pick a niche before you even build a site so you know exactly what you're doing and work on improving it, and perfecting it to the best of your abilities.
Your chances to get approved on Peerfly solely depends on the conversion ratio and also on your promotion techniques, your vision for the website.
Conclusion:
In this day and age it is truly not hard to grow on the Internet provided you know what you're doing. Many marketers like yourself are in this business just to make money.
Perhaps it works in the real world but on the Internet you need to have a vision! You cannot just show up to work and expect to get paid, you must give your best every single hour you spend in front of the computer.
So step into this pool of marketing if and only if you are willing to learn and give your best shot! If not, refrain from it and try to sell your own genuine products through email marketing, or social media marketing which is different than affiliate marketing.
At the end of the day, every single marketer wants to be rich one day, but your aim shouldn't be to get rich quickly but to devise a plan to keep making this money for however long possible.
A one-time earning will not be good for either you or your clients.
