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 from home 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 quadruple, your commissions, right?
How do you do that?
Here are some powerful tips on how to boost your online affiliate program commissions overnight.
1. Know the best program and products to promote.
Obviously, you would want to promote a program that will enable you to
achieve the greatest profits in the shortest possible time.
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 one that has a strong track record of
paying their affiliate's quickly and easily. If you cannot seem to make
money on your investments, drop that program and keep looking for better
ones.
There are millions of affiliate programs online which gives
you a reason to be picky. You may want to select the best to avoid
losing your advertising dollars.
Write short e-books or free
reports to send out 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 reports 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
e-books, you get credibility.
Customers will see that in you and they will be enticed to try out what you are offering.
2. Collect and save the email addresses of those who download your free e-books.
It is a known fact that people do not buy on the first solicitation.
You may want to send out your message more than six times to make a
sale.
This is the simple reason why you should collect the contact
information of those who downloaded your reports and e-books. You can
make follow-ups to these contacts and 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 collect their names,
you can always send other marketing messages to them to be able to earn
an ongoing commission instead of just a one-time sale only.
Publish
an e-zine or online newsletter. 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.
3. Ask for higher than normal commission from merchants.
If you are already successful with a particular promotion, you should
try and approach the merchant and negotiate a percentage commission for
your sales.
If the merchant is clever, he/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 an addition in your commissions. Just try to be
reasonable about it.
Write strong Pay-Per-Click ads. PPC is the
most effective means of advertising online. As an affiliate, you can
make a small income just by managing Pay Per Click campaigns such as
Overture and Google AdWords. 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.
