How To Promote Adult Affiliate Programs
There are many ways to promote the adult affiliate programs. Basically, any way you can get traffic to click on a link and register is a method of promoting an affiliate program. Some methods of promotion are more profitable than others, some are easier to get started with and some will require an investment of time or money. Here’s some of the main ways to promote adult affiliate programs:
Website and SEO – If you’re planning on becoming an adult affiliate, you should definitely learn how to build a website and do SEO. Ensuring that your website follows SEO best practices will get you search engine rankings that will result in an organic stream of traffic to build up over time. The better you can SEO your site, the more traffic you’ll get. Building a niche site will probably be way more effective than trying to SEO a general (broader categories) adult site.
Social Media – Social media is great for affiliate marketing. Social media marketing is free to start and you can easily reach a wide audience and build up a following. It’s important to know that most social networks are not adult-friendly, therefore it’s very hard to market through them. There are some adult-friendly social media sites and those ones can be incredibly effective. You can either share your affiliate links directly on the social media site, or use social media to drive traffic to your affiliate site.
Free Blogs – Free blogging sites like Blogger and Tumblr can work great with affiliate marketing. It’s possible to build a following directly within the blogging platform. These blogs are also search engine friendly, allowing you to get the blog posts to appear in search, tapping into organic traffic. Blogging platforms can also be used to build backlinks (for SEO) to your websites or blogs.
Forums – Forums are great for affiliate marketing, because they get great traffic, cost nothing to register with and doesn’t require any coding or building up a following. There are many adult forums and communities out there and these can be great for affiliate marketing. There are some forums that don’t allow affiliate marketing. Be courteous of their rules and make sure you’re not just spamming affiliate content and links.
Email Marketing – If you’re able to collect email opt-ins and address and build up an email marketing list, it can be an insanely effective method of affiliate marketing. Whether you’re placing affiliate content, banners and links directly into the email message, or using email to drive traffic to your site, it’s one of the most effective forms of direct marketing. There’s a lot of ways to go about doing email marketing. If you’re using an email service provider, make sure it’s one that allows for adult content.
Pairing Up Niche Programs With Niche Sites
The best practice for affiliate marketing in the adult industry is to match up niche content with niche sites. If you’re running a general site, your traffic will have to wade through your content and search your site to find exactly what they’re looking for. Running a niche site that appeals to a specific fetish is way more effective. Your traffic will know that your site and promoted affiliate offers are relevant to what they’re looking for. It’s much more effective to be running multiple sites in different niches than it is to try running a single general site. It’s also much easier to run SEO on those sites and pair up relevant affiliate offers that can be displayed sitewide.
Revshare Vs Pay-Per-Signup (PPS) Vs Pay-Per-Lead (PPL)
Different programs will offer different payout programs to promote. Sometimes a site will only give the option of one commission type, while other programs will give webmasters an offer. Of those types, it’s always suggested to go with revshare. The reason revshare is suggested is that you’ll make more money in the long run. It might take a while to get some good conversions that will retain and pay out good residual monthly.
Pay-Per-Lead (PPL) generally never makes sense for affiliates. The reason is because affiliate networks only pay out for leads as long as your traffic converts in a way to where the site and network are all making money. If you’re generating leads that don’t convert, they’ll kick you out of the PPL program. That means that if you’re getting paid PPL, your traffic has to convert. If your traffic is converting, then you’d make more money with one of the other two payment programs.
It’s very easy for Pay-Per-Signup to be more profitable than revshare in the beginning. That’s because it usually takes a while for a single conversion to earn enough revshare to equal out to the PPS commission. Revshare earnings also might only seem like a trickle at first. As the number of paying referrals ramp up, that number starts growing exponentially. Pretty soon you’ll be happy you went with revshare instead of commission-based.
