Top 3 Ways To Boost Your Affiliate Commissions Overnight
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.
