I wanted to do a post today on paid traffic for affiliate marketing. The most cost-effective form of Facebook advertising at the moment are video post page engagement” ads. Now that you have traffic from the Facebook ads and more important, you are sending potential buyers on the affiliate product pages (Amazon, in our example), you will probably start to see some commission coming.
A sandwich page is a page that sits between your target affiliate link and the Facebook ad. Essentially, it operates as the meat in between the two sites, hence the sandwich metaphor. Brand awareness is great and all, but if you’re not serving your clients’ ads to the right people in the right way, you run the risk of pouring money down the drain on ads that don’t convert.
And you’re right about sending FB traffic to a pre-qualifying page before the affiliate link. It does however have some great information for someone who is looking to get better in Facebook ad creation and affiliate marketing. What we want is to add a Dynamic Event that triggers every time a visitor clicks on one of these links.
Check out their affiliate marketing and social media sections specifically. The money you made was like icing on the cake considering Facebook PPC isn’t your primary method of marketing. Most of the people on Facebook are browsing around to keep up with their friends and aren’t constantly looking for new products or services you might have for them.
Also, you’ll need to make sure that you’re targeting your ads towards people aged 18 or above if you’re promoting health, fitness, or weight loss products. The key to maximize the conversions from Facebook marketing ad campaigns is to choose interests that demonstrate a willingness to pay for your services.
You can even create a simple landing page and target people for bulk orders, writing reviews about the products. I think it said I can’t promote offers that by business isn’t the seller of. Which confuses me because I google it up and tons of people are promoting clickbank offers on Facebook.
You can use free marketing methods like social media marketing, and posting on forums to send traffic to your affiliate products. People who favor free traffic are usually investing their time into utilizing the best SEO techniques.
