As a Mallcom Affiliate Webmaster, you must give your
Web site the right type of atmosphere to ensure that you will
get repeat visitors and to ensure that you will profit from those
visitors.
The most effective way to sell products from your
Mallcom Affiliate Store is to effectively integrate
this store into your Web site and to use the
techniques known as interactivity and
branding.
Web Site Integration
Placing a banner on your website is
simply not enough. Experienced surfers avoid banners like the
plague. This is the main reason why link integration with your
existing site is the most effective system to generate more
traffic.
Today's Newest Promotion Methods:
Blogs, RSS Feeds, and Podcasts
This page has been updated to bring you the newest
advertising strategies.
Blogs (Short for Web Logs)
By now, you have probably seen blogs on many web sites including
those of large corporations. Blogs are simple online journals that
are updated anywhere from daily to monthly. They are very simple in
nature and allow your site visitors to read the latest news and
comments without giving you their email address. This solves the
problem of visitors fearing that you will sell their email address
or fill their inbox with spam. Now, you can review individual
products, your entire adult store, new releases, your favorite adult
stars, or just about anything else that it takes for you to become
successful as a Mallcom affiliate. And remember, Blogs are
successful because you will not fear of being deleted by a spam
filter in someone's inbox.
You create a blog on your web site using simple HTML
or get one at blogger.com
or any of the other popular blogging sites.
RSS Feeds
RSS feeds are simple XML files that people can subscribe to using
any of the thousands of RSS readers available online. RSS stands or
(Really Simple Syndication). That means that your news can be
broadcast out to anybody who subscribes. Creating an RSS Feed is
simple with any of the free products on the web. After you create
your RSS feed, you simply put it on a web page on your web site and
promote the address to your site visitors. Then, they simply read
your news without visiting hundreds of web sites. Some people prefer
to get their information this way. Like your blogs, your RSS feeds
can contain your new releases, product reviews, and any other
information you need your web visitors to know.
Podcasts
Podcasts are audio and/or video programs that your web site visitors
can subscribe to and actually watch or listen to you or someone else
using one of the following methods:
-
a computer with broadband connection
-
portable MP3 player like the Apple
Ipod
Podcasts can be hosted by a famous personality and you
can talk about your new products, the adult industry, your favorite
porn star, or anything else that it takes to make your visitors
purchase your Mallcom adult products.
Creating a podcast takes a little investment in
production and recording equipment including, but not limited to:
- a good microphone
- headphones (optional)
- webcam or digital video camera (used for video podcasting)
- recording hardware (mixer) or software (either digital or analog)
- knowledge in writing show content, editing, and post production
Navigation Linking:
There are some Mallcom
Webmasters who have added the word “DVD” to
their main Web site menu and have increased sales from their Mallcom
Affiliate Stores tremendously as a result.
These
Webmasters have made their stores part of the navigation structure
of their Web sites.
In the following screen shot,
the navigation bar from Peter North's Web site is shown in an
enlarged view :

Mallcom's successful affiliate Webmasters
use navigation linking and individual-product linking to
integrate products from their affiliate stores into their web sites
as well.
Individual Product Linking: Our statistics indicate that
extensive link integration with your existing site is the most
efficient system for generating more sales from your affiliate
store.
One way of using this form of integration is to link to
individual products.
In the following screen shot,
an individual product, the "Bella Loves Jenna" video, is
promoted with a button that reads,"Click To Purchase:"

Writing Personal Reviews of Individual Products:
If you have a large amount of traffic on your web site and
you are well-respected by your visitors, writing personal
positive reviews of individual items will increase sales for
those items. This method works really well, because your
visitors now have the opinion of someone they trust. Write a
review that would make YOU buy the product if someone else
wrote it. You can include your reviews in your blog or RSS
Feeds.
Reviews from your customers:
Reviews can also some from your customers, both past and
present. Including reviews of customers can prove to future
customers that your products are popular and worth buying.
Linking to
individual porn stars
Another way of using this form of integration is to link to
individual porn stars. In the following screen shot, an
individual porn star, "Tabitha Stevens",

Interactivity
Another element that is often overlooked in modern e-commerce is
interactivity.
Messageboard forums, mail
rooms, and e-mail newsletters are great ways to add
interactivity to your Web site. They also help get your site
repeat traffic without slowing your site down.
Message
Board Forums: The advantage of message board forums is that
they help you provide your customers with advice about products
without pressuring them to buy instantly. The following
screen shots from Seymore Butts' Web site, TeamTushy.com, show how
the messages board is promoted and how messages are posted on
the Web site:
 
Mail Room : The advantage of posting letters from your Web site
visitors is that they they encourage your site visitors to
interact with you.
In the following screen shot, the
fan mail section from Seymore Butts' Web site, TeamTushy.com, is
circled in red:

E-mail Newsletters: People also enjoy being
kept up to date by signing up for e-mail newsletters.
The following screen shot displays the sign-up form
for Seymore Butts' e-mail newsletter:
Very often, those who sign up for these newsletters
have purchased products from you and want to hear about the
special offers you will send them next month.
An e-mail
newsletter service is an investment that will grow over time and
offer you a high rate of return on your total Web site
investment. Popups are also
very affective. A popup appears on www.seymorebutts.com as soon
and you type in the url. Take a look:

The popup
has a link directly to the store. This is a great attention graber.
This immediately appeals to the eye of the surfer. This is a sure
way to increase sales dramatically.
Branding
The process of branding involves creating an identity for your
business that gives people a way to remember your business.
The advantage of branding on the Internet is that it can give
your Web site name-recognition. This recognition can help you
profit in adult e-commerce.
Effective branding involves the
use of unique graphic design and niche-oriented marketing.
Graphic Design: An interesting, eye-catching Web site logo
can be considered a form of unique graphic design and can be
used in your overall Web site structure.
In the following screen shot, the logo from
CurlyDavid.com is circled in red and displays the unique
graphic design of that Web site:
Niche-Oriented Marketing:
Niche-oriented marketing often involves making very specific
subject matter the focus of your Web site.
