Five Great Tips On Promoting Dating Offers and Get Your Pay Bumps

The gap between profitability and hopelessness has become so thin that you are royally shooting yourself in the balls if you are not fighting for every last conversion.

A common problem I see with affiliate sales funnels is a lack of understanding for the substantial of dating offers. Then how to start to become a profitable and sucessful affiliate in this industry, and not to get kicked off from a good dating offer, is there any tips?

Here are some you could try!

Tips 1: Start with niche dating.

If you are starting in dating vertical I suggest you to start with niche dating offers like single parent meet, foreign meet , senior meet. In QpidAffiliate, those offers are all foreign meet and targeted a higher age group, which cover two niches.

Tips 2: Try social media.

If you don't have your own sites. For traffic source I recommend you to start with some social media, like, facebook, pof, twitter, or other newly popular ones in your targeted regions, because of so deep targeting criteria. If you decide to start on a social media platform, don't forget to check their blogs to get some directions.

Tip 3: Get familiar with the dating sites you are promoting.

                  

In some case, you can create your own landing page to develop your own angle to get the user engaged, but don’t create a false promise. Sure, telling the user they’re 100x more likely to get a  beauty's response on charmingdate.com might get a better conversion rate, but they’ll probably never return if that doesn’t happen. As this website is a truly matchmaking international online dating one. Your goal should be to get conversions and create value for both the advertiser and the user. Once you figure that out you’ll have all your affiliate managers hitting you up for more volume. At this time, better conversion rate+better payout = profitable and that’s not a false promise.

Tip 4: Prepare your leads.

                         

You shall include detailed directions on the landing page of what to the customer needs to do to be a good customer. For example, go into their Email and Opt In or whatever additional instruction will ensure a higher quality customer to the advertiser. A short Video on the Landing Page or directions on what to do after they have already signed in lead to engagement beyond just the signup which ultimately leads to the advertiser having more of a chance and getting revenue from them. You should inform your customers how to be better customers.

Tip 5: The right demographic targeting.

Every affiliate should be vitally concerned about the adcopy and the demographic targeting; obviously younger demographics yield less because there is less money. So if your advertiser give you the offer targeted 30+, they have already tell you that what kind of demographics they wanted. But also adcopies that are non-relative or suggest the consumer will get something ‘free’ or even allude to it in anyway reduces quality drastically.

All in all, you should remeber: Publishers that effectively target the highest quality traffic for the advertiser are more likely to receive higher payouts and the ability to remain on the campaign for the longevity of the offer, be the one!

Use Twitter for Affiliate Marketing

Want to begin your affiliate career but not yet have your own website? You have your own website but do not know how to drive free traffic? Don’t worry, you can start promoting affiliate program on twitter. It is much easier than you think. Now let me brief you with the basic knowledge of twitter.

What is it?

People can post up to 140 characters every tweet. Just like a micro size blog, people update their thoughts and ideas on it to share with friends and families. It's proven to be a huge hit, millions of people using twitter every day.

So why use it?

Twitter is extremely simple to use, you even don’t need a computer. Post can be sent by  SMS message, email or RSS feed. I am sure that won’t be a problem for you.

Twitter added the “nofollow” attribute to all links on Tweets near the end of 2008. It stops search engine bots from following the link. And prevents Twitter's high PageRank from being passed on or the link being counted towards your site. Even so, Twitter is still a great tool for affiliate marketing, for creating direct traffic to your site and updating your followers with new content. Of course you can make friend with new and interesting people as well.

Remember there is a lot more to SEO, and indeed to running an online business than just building links. 

Following & Being Followed

If you follow other people, you can get alerted each time they make an update. And at the same time, others can also follow you.Twitter is a great way of keeping in touch with other people and keeping a finger on the pulse within the market you are interested. It's important to follow people, this adds you to their followers page automatically, which in turn makes it easier for Google and other search engines to find your Twitter feed. Some people who have been Twittering since the early days of Twitter, and who have lots of followers, now have a very high page rank for their feed. It's probably better to make sure that you follow less people than you have followers, otherwise it gives the impression that no one is that interested in what you have to say!

Make a Twitter Post

To make a tweet could be more easier, just login to your account, go to the home page, type your message and click update. As you can see, this is meant to be as easy as possible to enable people to easily post numerous updates throughout the day if necessary.

Just like blogs, regular Twitter updates are critical for keeping followers and the search engines to be interested in your Twitter feed. When your twitter have enough followers, you can promote affiliate program by posting tweet on this subject or drive the traffic to your own website by updating your twitter. Now, get start!

Starting SEO Marketing

- Find your long tail keywords

Long tail keywords are the longer, more specific keywords compared to "head terms", which are more popular and common. For example, "Asian dating" is a head term while "old man dating Chinese girls" is a long tail keyword. Head term is too general for search results and too competitive.

So find untapped but useful long tail keywords for yourself now!

- Where to place your keywords

Search engine bots will crawl over your site and find keywords describing your sites. You can put your keywords in the body, title and meta tags of HTML documents. Remember, do not place too many keywords in a single page or it is regarded as a kind of cheats in bots' eyes.

- Build backlinks for traffic and keywords

Apart from analysing keywords on your site, search engine bots will also collect how other sites describe yours. That's why we will have to build backlink keywords-to link your site with a keyword as the anchor text. And directory site is a wise choice for building backlinks. A directory with existing relevant sites is recommended. Generally submission is free but sometimes it requires a reciprocal link.
