Affiliate Tips
Five Ways to Increase Your Affiliate
Sales
by John Purdy
Most home business owners are involved with affiliate
marketing. As an affiliate marketer, a combination of
techniques can be used to promote your affiliate website
and/or link. Here are five things you can do to help with
your promotional efforts resulting in increased affiliate
sales.
1. Become an “expert” on the product
The most successful affiliate marketers are “experts”
on the products they promote. To become an expert, it’s
highly recommended that you purchase the product yourself
to gain first-hand experience using it. If you cannot
purchase the product, you must thoroughly research it
until you become familiar and knowledgeable enough to
promote it.
2. Participate in chat rooms related to the product
You can start your own chat or join an existing one. Do
not try to selling initially, but during your chat, mention
the product you’re promoting and describe its benefits.
If there is interest in your product, you can then refer
them to the product through your affiliate link. The same
concept holds true for forums and discussion boards.
3. Write your own affiliate program ads
Most merchants will provide pre-written ads for their
affiliates to use. If you write your own ad, or make significant
changes to the one that’s pre-written, your ad will
stand out from the others. Done properly, this will give
you a great advantage over those affiliates that are using
the same ad as everyone else.
4. Create a free newsletter or ezine
Submit your newsletter to the ezine directories and promote
it on your website. Keep in mind that most subscribers
are interested in receiving “information” that
can help them. If you use your mailing list solely for
selling, you will never gain credibility and will end
up with a high unsubscribe rate. After you’ve developed
a relationship and the trust of your subscribers, you
can then recommend the products you are promoting
5. Create a free ebook
As part of your ebook, include an advertisement and a
link to your affiliate website. The ebook can be given
away free or used as an incentive to sign up for your
newsletter. Submit your ebook to the ebook directories
and offer it to other webmasters for inclusion on their
website. The more exposure your ebook receives, the more
sales you can make.
By using the techniques outlined above and always striving
to become an “expert” on the products you promote,
you are sure to see an increase in your affiliate sales
resulting in higher commission payments.
