Affiliate Marketer’s Know Your Product

I have received such a rash of spam lately that it is almost impossible to keep up with it. Most of the spam has been from marketers who sell other peoples products. (more commonly known as an affiliate marketer)

It never fails to amaze me how little that they know about the product that they are selling. An Internet Marketing Guru recently told me in an email that most affiliates market products that they themselves have never used. The first thing that comes to my mind is, how can they market a product that they know absolutely nothing about?

These affiliates use a prewritten ad copy to sell these products. The problem with this is that everyone else is using the same ad copy. How can the affiliate expect to make any sales with everyone else doing the exact same thing as he or she is doing? Their inexperience really shines through in this case. Thats why they end up spamming people because they dont know what else to do. The only result that spamming will get them is banned from the affiliate program for life.

If you are selling a product for someone else you should at the very least know what you are selling. That requires either buying the product or ask the owner of the product to send it to you so that you can get acquainted with the product. If the owner feels that its to his or her benefit they may send it to you for free. If not, buy the product and learn everything about that product. The initial cost will pay you many times over with the knowledge that you gain about the product.

Be different from everyone else. Write your own ad copy that is uniquely you. Dont do what everyone else is doing. If you know the product you will have a huge advantage over most of the affiliate marketers who are selling the same product as you are but are doing the same things that everyone else is doing. Thats what separates the super affiliates from everyone else. They know the product and they know the best way to market the product because of it.
