In recent years, the forex niche has been flooded with affiliate traders looking to gain a piece of this highly lucrative market. Some of these people will inevitably make a lot of money, while the vast majority will never make a single sale. So what is the best way to successfully promote these forex affiliate programs?
Well, there are many ways that you can try to get people to buy products through your affiliate links. You can buy pay-per-click ads, advertise on forums, create a website or blog where you review various products, or you can do some offline promotion. However, the best and most effective way, in my personal experience, is through email marketing.
To get started with email marketing, of course, you need your own email list of subscribers. You can build this list by creating a website or blog and encouraging all your visitors to sign up by offering some type of incentive.
This is pretty easy to do when signing up for some sort of autoresponder service because you simply take the html code for the signup form, copy and paste it onto your site. All leads can be viewed in your back office and you can then send scheduled or live messages to all or part of this list anytime you want.
This is a great way to promote your forex affiliate programs because if you treat this list well, your subscribers will trust and respect your opinions. So when you endorse a particular product, you are likely to get a lot of sales.
The general rule is that the bigger the list, the more sales you will make. This is true up to a point, but you also need to offer a lot of free and useful content. If you just bombard your subscribers with sales pitches all the time, you’ll get a lot of unsubscribes and very few sales because hardly anyone will bother to open most of your emails.
The point though is that email marketing, when done right, is easily the best way to promote Forex affiliate programs. I got more sales through this method than any other promotional method I used combined. So whatever you do, you have to make conscious efforts to build your list every day. If you treat these subscribers well, then you will be able to make a lot of sales in the future and this will turn out to be your most valuable asset.
