Making It Big In Affiliate Marketing Without A Website! 5 Key Forex Affiliate Trends To Watch in 2019

Making It Big In Affiliate Marketing Without A Website! 5 Key Forex Affiliate Trends To Watch in 2019
December 5, 2018

Affiliate marketing has become a key source of online income for many tech-oriented millennials and marketers. Today forex CPA marketing offers some of the highest type of compensation and now, more than ever, it’s easier to meet a sustained income solely through affiliate marketing. As a forex affiliate marketer you need to be able to promote CPA offers on the right channels such as social media, forums and blogs, as well as multiple ad networks and other traffic sources. As a forex affiliate, it is also important to keep up with the latest affiliate marketing trends in order to be able to make the most out of your target audience and increase your commissions. So what are the hottest forex affiliate marketing trends for 2019?

1. Influencer Marketing Continues To Rise
Influencer marketing has become a vital digital discipline and has a big influence on any kind of affiliate marketing, but that’s especially true when it comes to forex and CFD trading. Because of the nature of online trading, influencers such as independent traders, market analysts, trading educators etc, can have an immense appeal and can attract quality traffic looking to learn more about online trading. If you don’t want to have the public exposure, you can always work with a number of influencers who can help you reach new audiences with your marketing efforts.

What’s important to remember when it comes to this relatively new marketing source is that authenticity always wins. As prospective clients are increasingly becoming distrusting of advertising and marketing, the great majority states that transparency is an important factor when deciding which broker to support. This number is even higher among millennials. Since people place more trust in humans than in brands, influencer marketing has been, and still is, trending up. Authentic content, generated voluntarily by fellow traders, is always a safe bet for forex affiliate marketers.

2. The Wealth Niche Is Still Strong
Wealth and Money was and probably always will be amid the 8 most profitable niche for affiliates. In 2019, millennials will be looking to invest. So the topic of online trading and its profit making potential are concepts that attract audiences. The more informational your website or online presence is on the risks and opportunities involved in online trading and the more thorough and unique your content is, the more traffic it will attract. What is more, if your content is supported by experts and professionals in their respective fields, your reviews, articles, videos or tutorials can be visited by thousands of prospective traders every day.

3. Social Media & Live Streaming
With an average of 3.2 billion global social media users, amounting to 42% of the global population, there’s no denying that social media holds immense potential. With numbers like that, social medias’ significance to online marketing cannot be ignored. Social media has become embedded in almost everyone’s daily life. Understanding the changes implemented in the social networks is therefore essential for affiliate marketers. And these can change a lot. The most popular social trends in 2019 and onwards are video, automation, live streaming and, as we already mentioned, influencers.

Live Streaming in particular, presents a dynamic and highly effective new communication tool used by a great number of influencers and marketers. Live Streaming is expected to dominate in 2019 and beyond. According to Go-Globe, currently live streaming accounts for two-thirds of all internet traffic. By 2020, it’s expected to account for 82 percent of all internet traffic!

What you should remember as an affiliate marketer is that dominating a single platform is not enough anymore. Your leads on Facebook are not on YouTube, and those on YouTube are different to those reading the content on your website. As such, the key to your success is to repurpose your content across multiple platforms relevant to your forex audience.

4. Quick Answers
Originally launched in 2014, Quick Answers are snippet-style listings of questions and answers in Google’s search results. When you search for a how-to question on Google, you’ll typically find them between the first sponsored and first organic listing. Savvy marketers, however, are now generating web content with the goal of appearing in Google’s Quick Answers. As forex affiliate marketers, what’s important to remember is that there are a lot of specific trading related questions that have not yet been defined in quick answers. This means that Google’s Quick Answers could be a great way to attract highly targeted organic traffic.

5. Micro-Moments Are Taking Over A Consumer Journey
Today’s consumers are bombarded by content, ads, offers, emails, push notifications and everything else. As the information load continues to grow on the web, users look for quick ways to find easy, concise and clear answers to their questions. It’s all about fast info consumption through brief videos, audio and key points. As an average individual already spends more than three and a half hours per day on their smartphone, brands and marketers have an increasingly harder time attracting the attention of their audience. That’s where micro-moment marketing steps in. The micro-moment is a new type of consumer behavior, which occurs when people reflexively turn to a device, usually a smartphone, to act on a need to learn something, do something, get to know something or buy something.

There are a lot of different types of micro-moments such as I-want-to-know moment, I-want-to-go-moment, I-want-to-do moment or I-want-to-buy moment. According to Google’s content marketing team, on average, Think with Google, users experience “micro-moments” 150 times a day. Why are micro-moments so important? Because people, in general, make instant decisions on what to buy, where to invest or what to learn more about during these very brief moments; which in turn gives you a window of opportunity of only a few seconds to catch their attention! Micro-moments work, because they provide consumers with the right information exactly when they need it. Ultimately, the whole consumer decision journey is a combination of these micro-moments across all channels and devices. The successful forex marketers of tomorrow will be those who are able to meet their audience’s needs in these micro-moments.

Best Traffic Sources for Affiliate Marketing Pros & Market Trends for 2019

Best Traffic Sources for Affiliate Marketing Pros & Market Trends for 2019
November 23, 2018

As a forex affiliate marketer understanding your audience and what they are looking for can help you better determine the channels through which to approach your traffic. There is a vast number of different traffic sources you can tap into. The question is which are the best traffic sources to use when it comes to targeting potential Forex and CFD traders and how can you best use these channels to attract quality leads.

 

What are your existing traffic sources?
Tracing the origin of each visit or session to your website is the first step to take when it comes to determining the most effective traffic sources. By understanding what your key website traffic sources are and which traffic sources are converting the most, you’ll be able to truly optimise your overall monetization strategy. That being said, there a number of major traffic sources that are rising in popularity in 2018 and onwards, and if used correctly they can help you attract high quality Forex, CFD traffic that will translate to a healthy number of FTDs and increase your commissions as an affiliate.

 

Search Traffic
When it comes to search traffic, Paid Ads or PPC and Organic Search Traffic should be your two constant concerns as a forex affiliate marketer. The key to attracting high forex converting traffic with search ads like Google Ads is really pinning down what your audience is likely to be googling for.

As far as Adwords is concerned, your Cost Per Click (CPC) is determined by the keyword you’re bidding for, and just how relevant your website and ad are to that specific keyword. The forex trading sphere can virtually cover almost any term related to finance and investing which means you may be able to find targeted keywords that are aligned with your websites niches and offer a healthy return on investment.  It is also important to keep mind that while Google is the most visited website on earth, there are other online traffic sources for search engines out there like Yahoo, Bing, Baidu and many more

When it comes to Organic Traffic or traffic which comes directly from the search engine; the chances of conversion are 7 times higher. Having your website rank on the first page of Google for any online trading related search requires carefully curated content, consistency and good SEO skills but it definitely pays off! Google’s organic search listing is immensely powerful and can bring you a completely free source of quality forex trading traffic!

 

Social Traffic

There are tons of social networks available to buy trading related traffic, but as a Forex partner you definitely need to consider which are the best ones to run your ads or publish your content on. The social media platforms that you choose to use need to have a pre-existing audience interested in online forex and CFD trading. Channels like Facebook, Twitter and Linkedin are used by a healthy number of people interested in forex, finance and overall investing.

Once you find your key channels, it is crucial to set up your account and profiles correctly as social media channels can be a source of both organic and paid traffic. Targeting your audience is also key, so you will need to take into consideration what would be the key demographics, interests,  age, etc. of your potential forex traffic. This will enable you to tailor ads around a specific user base.

A geo with a great deal of untapped potential when it comes to Forex and CFD products is South East Asia. Tailoring your social channels and ads to target these regions can help you tap into a fresh, tech-savvy audience that is increasingly growing interested in forex and CFD trading products and platforms…

For forex affiliate marketers seeking to target Southeast Asia traffic, educational forums and well-established social media platforms such as Facebook are the strongest traffic sources. In fact, Facebook is a key driver of growth across the region with Indonesia, the Philippines and Vietnam boasting more than 250 million users combined!

Mobile Traffic
Mobile traffic is currently the fastest-growing traffic source on earth. 5 years ago we couldn’t imagine advertising in developing countries! Now these countries love smart phones, which makes them an untapped audience with immense conversion potential. Mobile as a forex trading traffic source allows advertising in such untapped markets globally, allowing for cheap advertising spend with high ROIs. It is also important to remember that in developing geos access to a mobile phone is far easier than to a computer.

Remember that plenty of traffic sources like Facebook and Google have both desktop and mobile traffic. Ensuring that your website or ad is being displayed properly on all cell phones or how fast it’s loading can be a challenge to optimize for many affiliates. But the ROI potential is huge!


When it comes to mobile advertising, you can opt for:
– Popunders
– Redirects (users land on a specific URL and are instantly redirected to your lander)
– Push Notifications
– Banner/Display

 

Global Mobile Advertising Spending Forecast, 2013-2019

Unsurprisingly, an increasing number of forex affiliate marketers are opting for mobile ads over web ads as the mobile realm allow for cheaper ad spends with higher revenues. Some of the most popular mobile advertising platforms include Millennial Media, iAd from Apple and AdMob from Google and they are very easy to use. Contrary to popular belief mobile media really isn’t really that complex, it actually works just like social media or paid web ads with the only difference being that the delivery mechanism is a smartphone or a tablet computer instead of a PC.

 

Final Thoughts
When it comes to forex affiliate marketing, paid traffic is very effective and can have a huge ROI potential if you do it right. It is always important to remember to constantly track your advertising campaign and to continuously optimize it based on the data you receive from your ad network. The key to making profit with paid advertising is proper strategy, tracking everything and continuously optimizing your ad campaigns to ensure best possible performance!
