How To Get Approved 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.
Relax, because there are some easy answers to this age old question – which came first, the publisher or the affiliate? Most new affiliates do run into this dilemma, so you are not alone. First, make sure you understand exactly what an affiliate marketer is.
Some people refer to affiliates as publishers. This is because the earliest affiliate marketers were “publishers” in the sense that they published content about a certain topic, e.g. news, hobbies, etc. In essence, the publishers were publishers before they were affiliates.Advertisers knew the publishers already had a traffic history and a variety of content, so they purchased advertising space from the publishers.
All aspects of affiliate market have evolved since then, but many advertisers expect the same standards when they accept new affiliates. They expect you to have matching content to what they offer and an adequate traffic history to match.
This can be frustrating as well as confusing for the beginner. But there are some things you can do get their interest and make a potential advertiser take notice.
Post videos from YouTube and other sites on your website – its easy to do by cutting and pasting the embed code. There are also a lot of free article feeds that are free on other directories. Just make sure you maintain the integrity of the piece by posting the resource box to give credit to the author.
You can use what others are saying or write your own. You can be rejected on one site site, but approved on another network so keep trying. It all depends on who the advertiser is partnered with.
Always make sure include all the necessary information on your site regarding privacy policy, contact info, etc. These tips should help you get started!
