Hi Mary,
Yes you always want to include some call of action phrase with your content. You want to guide your visitors and tell them what you want them to do next “Click Here” for example :).
You are right there are so many different ways to do affiliate marketing and what works on one site might not be the best solution for another. One thing that all great marketers have in common though is that they do provide helpful, useful content.

Building a relationship with your audience and genuinely caring for them will benefit you long time!

Thanks for your comment Mary,

Hey Vicky! 🙂

Another great article. I learned some valuable information here.
I agree partially with the aStore. You can still have some links that take you to Amazon directly but then you can say something like, “If you want to buy from amazon straight from this site “click Here” “Buy Here”. It has worked for me anyways.
There are so many different views on online marketing and I believe each website has their own way of converting. I agree that you shouldn’t sound like a sales pitch though. Gaining trust with authentic, genuine content that helps whoever it is, find something they were looking for is, GREAT!
Thanks for sharing. 🙂

Hi,

Thanks for your comment.
Do you work with paid traffic when you do storefronts or how do you get visitors to your site? How do you provide value to the customer if you don`t write content on the product?
I`m truly curious how you make it work with an affiliate storefront. Would love to find out some more.
Until then we have to agree on disagreeing 🙂

Man these are some really great points. I read Leo’s response, and I tend to actually really disagree with #3 as a don’t. I think Amazon Storefronts are beneficial if you are helping people by looking for really great products for them beforehand, so that they do not have to search them up themselves. It definitely is a time saver for them but not for you, however, you do raise the point that it would be harder to rank with search engines for it. Also, your storefront does not only have to be limited to Amazon. There could be way more affiliate programs products on your site storefront. Only problem is that Storefronts are time consuming and you do have to go back and forth to see which items are still in stock, which could be a hassle since you could be spending your time more wisely by publishing articles full of keyword rich content. Awesome post btw. I personally tend to draw away from writing articles promoting products and prefer Universal Affiliate Storefronts. Everyone is definitely different I guess. Thanks again for this really awesome post! Hope to see some more interesting reads like these from you.

Hi Heather, Yes, these are common ones. They came up when I did the 3 part Amazon series so wanted to make sure I included them. Vicky
