Top 3 Ways To Boost Your Affiliate

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 zerorisk
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.
