Steps To Getting Approval For Affiliate Programs
Its so frustrating when new affiliate marketers can’t view or market their product if they are denied access because they don’t have suffient traffic history on a website. Its a vicious cycle fraught with barriers and frustrations and not allowing any commissions or payouts from their product.
You’re not alone in this dilemma, so relax and learn about what needs to be done to understand the paradox between affiliate and publishers. Clarify your knowledge to be able to move forward.
People did not realize the difference early on between affiliate and publishers – infact, the earliest affiliate marketers were thought of as publishers. They published articles about certain things like their hobbies, the news, etc. They had a traffic history the advertisers were comfortable with, so they purchased space from them.
Affiliate Marketing has evolved since then, but many advertisers still expect the same standards when they accept new affiliates. They will expect you to already have good relevant content on your website which matches their offers. This makes sense for those new affiliates who are fairly sure about the field you want to get into, but somewhat confusing to newbies. There’s some things you can do to become more professional in the eyes of a potential advertiser and jazz up your website at the same time.
Post articles on your site. There are a lot of free article feeds from article directories, but make sure you leave the resource boxes intact and give proper credit to the author. Post relevant videos about your website from Youtube and other sites. The have an “embed code” so cutting and pasting is easy.
Post testimonials about a specific product or service. Use your own or whatever you see others posting online. Lastly, and this is important – see whether the offer is available outside of Commission Junction.
Sometimes an advertiser is partnered with several networks. You can be rejected in one but approved in another if it is a different network.
Listing the important information on your website like privacy policy, contact information will help too. Having the necessary information as well as these tips should help you get started!
