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, you want
to boost your affiliate commissions.
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 e-books 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 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 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 e-books. 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.
