Why consistency, timing, and quality are paramount.
Consistency and timing are two of the elements of success. It also contributes to the difference between super successful affiliate marketers and the ones not quite as successful. It’s rather simple, consistent quality content means consistent quality traffic.
It really is that simple, but people often misunderstand the term “quality content”. Quality content is an “across-the-board” requirement. Everything you do online must be targeted and related to your profitable niche. You build audiences, gain recognition, and build trust.
Comments.
Shares And Likes.
Claps On Medium.
Tweets And Retweets.
Posts.
Articles.
Videos.
Profiles You Follow.
Professional Networking Profiles.
All of the above must be quality content, meaning something that will create curiosity. Consistency, timing, and content quality is the only way you will outperform your competitors. Chasing sales, well, that’s how your competitors are still ahead.
They don’t chase sales, reputation and trust mean more to them than the sales. That is precisely why super-successful affiliate marketers are making so much money online.
Content that usually attracts a lot of attention, in my opinion (especially social media), is mentioned below. If you want to succeed online as an affiliate marketer, then stop being a salesman.
Offer Solutions To Problems.
Add A Little Humor And Inspiration.
Provide Answers To Questions.
Offer Free Stuff.
Provide How To Guides.
You must be a problem solver and a guide. Offer people the solutions they need by providing them with quality content. Once you start solving problems provide your own solutions that work. That is when you start building recognition and trust.
Once you start gaining recognition and trust, the sales will most probably knock your socks off. You generate sales online by offering solutions, not affiliate links.
Trending hashtags for Twitter.
With around 7 Billion visitors per month, there is no reason not to get a tsunami of traffic from Twitter. Twitter is often underestimated and misunderstood. If you’re not getting much traffic from Twitter, then consistency and timing might be the problem.
With Twitter, you want to find and focus on trending hashtags. Simply use a tool called hashtags (dot) org, and always be on top of trending hashtags. Hashtags put your post in front of the people more likely to respond.
Hashtags and consistency, along with the timing is a combination I find working rather well with Twitter. But with no exclusion of quality content, from both personal tweets and retweets.
As illustrated below, you can see the traffic results for Twitter with Similarweb. A free browser extension you might want to add to your online tools, by the way. A comfortable and fast way to analyze the traffic to any site.
Just so you know, this particular article reveals some really effective social media content marketing strategies. If you can “read between the lines”, so to speak. But we will get to exactly how you can leverage Facebook and Twitter specifically in a bit.
Facebook groups and pages.
Facebook groups and pages, yes, I know. Everyone telling you to get on board with Facebook pages and groups are getting a little annoying, right? But they’re going on about it for a reason.
Facebook pages, groups, and Twitter profiles can drive a load of traffic. But you must comply with all of the above in this article, and it’s a lot of work I might add.
Under the last heading of this article, we’re going to bring Facebook and Twitter together with a bang! But you will need Facebook groups and pages, along with Twitter profiles for this to work for you.
Maintaining consistent, high-quality content on multiple profiles, groups, and pages can be nearly impossible. This is why you need to create a mixture of consistent posts.
With several sites and tools, this comes down to a mixture of your own content, the content you share, like, and schedule. Sharing other people’s content means you build recognition.
Perhaps even get your own content shared in return. That is how social media works, you need to give more than you take. In order to get recognized, you actually have to be present.
Next up, bringing Facebook and Twitter together. Are you ready? I sincerely hope so because this is a mind-blowing social media content marketing strategy!
Bringing Facebook and Twitter together.
I have built sizable audiences thus far with this social media content marketing strategy. Not the gigantic “Millions”, yet, but it’s coming. Because of maintaining consistency, and quality, and providing that to the right people at the right time.
The tool is called FP Traffic, and by far the best social media management tool I have ever seen. Even if you do not have any content of your own. They will provide you with high-quality content (already indexed in search engines). Also, the best $15 I spend every month!
Just so you know, FP Traffic is currently available for $10 per month, not $15. But I am not sure for how long the promotion is going to carry on. If you are unhappy with your FPTraffic membership at any point.
You can cancel your subscription with a few clicks of your mouse. If you would like a refund within your first 30 days of using FPTraffic, just let them know and they will refund your money as well.
You do not have to enter any payment details to get started with your 14-day free trial. That is only required after the trial period when FP Traffic will cost you $10 per month for a limited time.
You also get to schedule posts to unlimited social profiles, and that will not cost you anything more than the $15 (Limited Time $10 Deal). Many other social media scheduling tools will charge you for extra profiles because you do not get to add unlimited profiles.
All you need is your social media profiles, and FP Traffic does the rest. After you have scheduled all posts in advance, that is. But do pay attention to quality, timing, and consistency.
With “consistency”, I don’t mean you now have a tool to flood all social platforms with posts. I mean you have a tool to maintain consistency, so use it wisely.
Do not make the mistake of confusing consistency with volume. Consistency requires timing. If your timing is right, you will have more responses with 4 to 6 posts a day, than you will have with 100 posts to the wrong people at the wrong time!
Establish the time zone of your preferred target audience, and then post during the times when they are most active. FP Traffic also helps with that because you set the time zone and posting times.
Allow me to explain, I am targeting a USA audience and I’m in South Africa. That means, it is now 18:09 where I am. And the Pacific Standard Time is 08:09. That means the time difference is -10 hours.
Therefore, if I want to reach a USA audience between 20:00 and 01:00. Then I need to post perhaps 5 posts (one every hour) from 10:00 to 15:00. The time I am also at work, so I cannot personally post at these times.
Luckily, I have FP Traffic to post to my Facebook groups, pages, and Twitter profiles on my behalf from my scheduled posts. That way, I can still reach my targeted audience, while I’m at work (Electrical Projects Manages In Our Family Business).
But I mentioned earlier if you can recall. Your scheduled posts must be a mixture. Personally, I like mixing my Medium posts and YouTube videos from several channels into the “mix”.
One Medium post and one video (my own content), then double that in other people’s posts. Meaning, when I schedule posts, the 4 posts are from other people, and suggested posts. While only 2 are my own content. Give more than you take, remember? Focus on the following.
Your Own Posts.
Other People’s Posts.
Suggested Posts.
With Quora for instance you have Quora spaces where you can schedule suggested posts. But I have covered that strategy in a few other articles on Medium.
With FP Traffic, you simply create a mixture of your own posts, and that of other people’s posts suggested by FP Traffic. Now, when I say high-quality content, I mean that.
FP Traffic has a proprietary Content Finder you can use to search through billions of photos, links, and videos to find content to post to your social media accounts!
In fact, you can choose to schedule high-quality content from some of the largest players in social media and networking. You can choose from 10 of these giants and start scheduling the kind of content your audience is looking for.

Bing.
YouTube.
Reddit.

Twitter.
If you want to leverage Facebook groups, pages, and Twitter profiles for a lot of targeted traffic. Then, in my opinion, you will be lost without FP Traffic. I know I was, and after I started using this tool, it all changed for me. Finally, my social media profiles started taking off!
