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.

Raymond K. Yudi’s partnership with leading Forex/CFD broker BDSwiss is counting more than 3 years and taking the opportunity of BDSwiss’ attempt for expansion in Asia, we managed to obtain this exclusive interview:

 

– Tell us a little bit about yourself… How did you first become interested in the industry?

I started to be interested in forex in 2005 because I was looking for an independent job to do at home. After some difficult early years, I am now an independent trader and operate daily on currencies, indices and commodities. Since 2013 I have been interested in automated trading and some of my strategies are now fully automated and applicable through EAs. Naturally, I realised that there was true potential in online trading so I started sharing my experience with others. Being in the industry for quite some time, I heard about IBs and decided to gather the necessary requirements and start working as an introducing broker.

 

– Why did you choose to partner with BDSwiss?

Initially, I explored a number of options and worked with several brokers as I wanted to find a broker that could offer the best possible trading conditions to my clients and keep me satisfied. Yes, that’s right, my clients come first. I wasn’t looking for crazy commission plans, because as I realised over the years, most of the brokers that promise unrealistic payouts fall short on their promises. I was looking for a stable income with the potential to grow, but most importantly I wanted a broker who would keep my clients trading in the long run. BDSwiss combines all the qualities of a solid reputable broker: high-profile clientele, sound market reputation, fair trading conditions, transparent regulation and bespoke support.

 

-Do you know your clients or do you work online?

In our days, online marketing can move mountains and has a potential for a great reach. Talking for myself though, I prefer more traditional approach. All of my clients appreciate the personal support I can provide them and love to follow my market analysis. This also means of course that a great percentage of my clients are knowledgeable, high profile traders who understand the benefits of trading and are looking to invest with a transparent and regulated broker that offers fair trading conditions. I go out of my way to make sure that I am there for my clients. I try to get their account up and running as soon as possible, I update them on market news and how to properly apply all of the available tools provided by BDSwiss to capitalise on major trends.

 

– What was your course as a partner when working with BDSwiss?

Since I became an IB for BDSwiss the payouts have doubled. It is common knowledge in the forex industry that a trader has an “expiry date” of sorts, there is a lifespan for each client and the goal is to stretch out that lifespan as much as possible by keeping traders engaged. BDSwiss knows how to keep its clients’ interest, they run sophisticated marketing campaigns, introduce new products and tradable assets and even develop their own native apps and platforms in house. Also, the fact that they are always expanding and investing in branding gives me broader reach to new audiences. Plus, my clients are already familiar with BDSwiss as it has an international presence and appeal as a brand. What is moe, their partners platform is clean and intuitive, allowing me to have a clear understanding of my earnings and payments are always on time. I also find the exchange rate from dollar to euro that takes place at the time of payment very professional using precisely the current quotation.

 

– In your experience, what does it take for someone to become an affiliate or IB?

The Forex/CFD market is a multi-trillion dollar industry, which means that there’s definitely potential to make some profit as an IB or affiliate. The most important requirement is having a presence whether online or offline but it is also crucial to know your audience. Are they familiar with online trading? The biggest mistake partners make is to introduce an unsuspected audience to a market they know nothing about. You need to think strategically. In order to sell a product it is important that you know everything there is to know about it. Take the time to properly introduce your audience to your product – that is online trading.

 

What would you say to those interested in becoming a BDSwiss Partner?

You have come to the right place! BDSwiss has all the tools to help you succeed whether you are an experienced or amateur broker. They have the education, the brand identity, the right audience and it doesn’t hurt that they pay good commissions on time either. Their affiliate team in Berlin will be on hand to give you individual support and help you with your marketing efforts. My tip to any affiliate or IB looking to partner with BDSwiss is: use the tools that are so readily available to you. They have massive amounts of helpful educational materials and marketing tools. If you set the right foundation, build a solid online or offline presence, use your broker’s tools to educate your audience and keep them engaged – then you can enjoy a steady stream of passive income for the long run!
