Black Friday Affiliate Marketing: Killer Tips to Get More Sales During Special Days

Here are my top 9 tips to increase affiliate marketing sales during the Black Friday. I have also listed the common mistakes to avoid during the Black Friday affiliate campaign.

1. Properly Optimize Your “Special Pages”

I call them special pages where we are going to list down down all the best Black Friday deals in our niche. If you are in the blogging niche, you can create Black Friday deal page around blogging products like Blogging Tools, WordPress Plugins, Web Hosting etc.

Few tips to use special pages for more affiliate sales:

• Make the posts well-formatted.
• Clearly add a CTA for each deal. If you look at my Cyber Monday Blogging Deals you’ll find a clear CTA button that commands action.
• Instead of creating new special pages every year, you should aim at updating your old pages each year. This is because Google loves old content that is refreshed with new data. Plus, you get to leverage your old rankings for that page every year without having to build new backlinks etc.

2. Analyze Others Black Friday Campaigns

For this you need to make a list of bloggers in your niche that are doing well for Black Friday related terms. You can also search for “best Black Friday deals in [your niche]” to see who is ranking and how.

One more strategy you can use to improve your competitor research is using a tool like Semrush. You can grab Semrush 14 Days Free Trial from here.

You can use the Semrush tool to find all the keywords you competitors are ranking for. You can find their top traffic pages and also find out their backlink sources. You can try getting backlink from those websites to increase your search rankings.

Few other things you can do to spy your competitor strategies:

• Make a list of 5 to 10 bloggers who are making decent income from affiliate marketing.
• Subscribe to their email lists.
• Analyze how they are promoting their affiliate products during special days.
• Also check out if they are writing any product reviews during Black Friday. Find out how many links they have and how they are convincing their readers to buy stuff from them.

3. Leverage Email Subscribers

If you want to take your affiliate sales to the next level during special days like Black Friday, Christam, New Year or any other special day, you need an email list.

It should be an active email list where people are willing to buy products on the basis of your recommendations.

If you want to build such an email list, you need to give lots of value to your email subscribers. You have to treat them as a family. Help them as and when they ask for it.

Recommend only those products that are going to solve their problems.

You can use your email list to get affiliate sales for relevant products during Black Friday as well.

4. Build Quality Backlinks to Outrank Competitors

Ask any SEO expert the simplest way to increase traffic on any blog, they will say one thing: “build quality links”. The more links you get to your blog posts from other websites, the higher your search rankings will be. It’s as simple as that.

Here are a few powerful strategies to build quality links for your black Friday deals pages.

• Link out to other bloggers often. This is the most effective list building strategy. No one links out to a random guy. People link to you only when they know you. This is where you need to make smart moves.You need to start linking out to other bloggers frequently and let them know via emails that you have linked to their stuff. Sooner or later, if they find your content relevant and helpful, they will start linking back to your stuff.
• When building links, don’t go fast. Build your links steadily and gradually. That way search crawlers will think other links are pointing to your sites naturally.
• Use Skyscraper technique. Here’s the beginners guide to Skyscraper technique to use your content to get natural backlinks. In summary, it’s all about finding popular content and making it even better and finally promoting it to the right people to get more shares and links.
• Ask others to link. Ask your readers to link to your posts instead of leaving comments on them. If they really like your stuff, they will definitely link back to your sites.
• Often times, asking is the simplest way to get what you want!

5. Write In-Depth Product Reviews

It’s even better if you write case studies about the products you use and recommend. For instance, if you want to increase your affiliate sales for web hosting products such as Bluehost or Hostinger, it’s a better idea to write an in-depth case study about how Bluehost helped you increase your website performance instead of writing a generic review.

For reference, you can check out how we exploded our traffic to Reach 2 Million Views with Semrush. It’s an in-depth case study that covers almost everything about the benefits of Semrush and how I used that tool to increase my website traffic from search engines.

By writing case studies, you are not only telling people how the products you used have helped you in getting results but you are also encouraging your blog’s audience to take action.

6. Use landing Pages to Generate More Sales

Landing pages are mostly used by smart affiliate marketers and all top bloggers in every industry. There’s a reason why landing pages always convert better, the reason is, they give less distraction to your audience and they often focus on just one call to action.

You can use landing pages to feature your deals and discounts and send your email subscribers or social referral traffic to those pages instead of sending them to a blog post. This way they will face less distraction and perform the desired action of generating more affiliate commissions for you.

Make sure to include your affiliate disclosure to avoid any problems related to affiliate marketing. You can simply put a small note as, “I earn a small commission whenever you buy something from my blog without costing you anything extra”.
