The ideal world of
affiliate marketing does not require having your won 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.
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 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.
2. Collect and save the
email addresses of those who download your free eBooks. It is a known fact that
people do not make a purchase 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 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.
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
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.
To your success
