Hey It's Steven...
The other day I asked some input about what issues you all may
be having in affiliate marketing. Most answers I got were about
earning commissions. So I wanted to take some time and go over
some key points on this.
The ideal world of affiliate marketing does not require having your
own website, dealing with customers, refunds, product
development and maintenance. This is one of the easiest ways of
launching into an online business and earning more profits.
Assuming you are already into an affiliate program, what would
be the next thing you would want to do? Double, or even triple,
your commissions, right? How do you do that?
Here are some powerful tips on how to boost your affiliate
program commissions overnight.
There are several factors to consider in selecting such a
program. Choose the ones that have a generous commission
structure. Have products that fit in with your target audience. And
that has a solid track record of paying their affiliate easily and on
time. If you cannot seem to increase your investments, dump that
program and keep looking for better ones.
There are thousands of affiliate programs online which gives you
the reason to be picky. You may want to select the best to avoid
losing your advertising dollars.
Write free reports or short ebooks to distribute from your site.
There is a great possibility that you are competing with other
affiliates that are promoting the same program. If you start writing
short report related to the product you are promoting, you will be
able to distinguish yourself from the other affiliates.
In the reports, provide some valuable information for free. If
possible, add some recommendations about the products. With
ebooks, you get credibility. Customers will see that in you and
they will be enticed to try out what you are offering.
This is the simple reason why you should collect the contact
information of those who downloaded your reports and ebooks.
You can make follow-ups on these contacts to remind them to
make a purchase from you.
Get the contact information of a prospect before sending them to
the vendor’s website. Keep in mind that you are providing free
advertisement for the product owners. You get paid only when
you make a sale. If you send prospects directly to the vendors,
chances are they would be lost to you forever.
But when you get their names, you can always send other
marketing messages to them to be able to earn an ongoing
commission instead of a one-time sale only.
Publish an online newsletter or Ezine. It is always best to
recommend a product to someone you know than to sell to a
stranger. This is the purpose behind publishing your own
newsletter. This also allows you to develop a relationship based
on trust with your subscribers.
This strategy is a delicate balance between providing useful
information with a sales pitch. If you continue to write informative
editorials you will be able to build a sense of reciprocity in your
readers that may lead them to support you by buying your
products.
If the merchant is smart, he or she will likely grant your request
rather than lose a valuable asset in you. Keep in mind that you
are a zero-risk investment to your merchant; so do not be shy
about requesting for addition in your commissions. Just try to be
reasonable about it.
Write strong pay Per Click ads. PPC search engine is the most
effective means of advertising online. As an affiliate, you can
make a small income just by managing PPC campaigns such as
Google AdWords and Overture. Then you should try and monitor
them to see which ads are more effective and which ones to
dispose of.
Try out these strategies and see the difference it can make to
your commission checks in the shortest of time.
Hope This Helps.
