Top 7 Ways To Take Your Earnings To The Next Level
It is a fact that affiliate marketing is one of the fastest ways to get your web business up and to run. After all, you don't need a website, you don't need a list, and you can start promoting someone else's product in just 5 minutes.
And the great thing is that you can really make money with it. But the truth is, if you make money from a particular product that you are promoting in this way, you are almost certainly leaving money on the table.
To explain why we need to take a look at your average affiliate marketing strategy:
- Choose a product for promotion with a high affiliate payout (from $ 50).
- To promote your affiliate link, you have to set up a pay-per-click campaign.
This is it! These two steps are what the vast majority of affiliate marketers do. And that's why 95% of all affiliate payouts are paid by just 5% of people in marketing ... because that top 5% does so much more to earn their commissions than just a simple PPC campaign.
You need to understand that if you are fortunate enough to make money from the product you are promoting by simply following these two basic steps, then you are almost certainly missing out on a ton of extra income.
Let's take a look at how you can increase your commissions and related sales in the future with just one product you're already making money from
1. Create A 'Name Squeeze.'
Create a "compress name" page to capture your prospect's name and email address. It is a fact that virtually all product sales occur after the customer's fifth visit to the site.
If you're not capturing your prospect's details, how are you going to make sure they return to the sales page using your affiliate link? To greatly increase the likelihood of this happening, you can set up your Series 7 autoresponder to automatically send your lead additional information and reminders about the product they're interested in. This approach will keep the product relevant in their minds.
2. Website Is A Must
Create a website with an overview of the product you are promoting, including a newsletter to learn more about your potential customers. You can provide full details of how the product will solve your prospect's problems by making an unbiased review of the features and benefits with some real-world results.
A newsletter will allow you to stay connected with your potential customers in the same way as compressing the page name.
3. Offer Additional Bonuses - Great!
Offer additional bonuses for purchases through your affiliate link. This gives your prospect a reason to buy from you, especially if they know you will get a commission on the sale.
It is important here that your bonus products are related to the product you are selling. I mean, it doesn't make sense to advertise a bonus book on "How To Make Your Parrot Talk" if your initial product is all about training dogs to perform tricks.
4. Video Tutorial - Another Creative Idea!
Create video tutorials on how to use the product you are promoting. This works especially well when you are promoting a software product. You can show people how to get started as quickly as possible without having to read the manual.
The vast majority of people learn visually, so they are much more likely to use your videos than read the manual that came with the software. You can even link this to option 3; give your potential customers free training videos if they buy from your affiliate link.
5. Cross Promotion
Create your own cross-promotion product. It could be an addition to a product that you are promoting as an affiliate. Again, you can easily offer it for free or at a discounted price if they buy from your affiliate link.
6. Related Product Promoting
Promote related products by email. It works by creating a list of "A" ratings from your newsletter and reducing the number of page subscriptions, which are people who actually went to buy the product you are promoting.
It is known that people who have a proven track record of shopping online are more likely to buy from you again. You can easily recommend a companion product to them that will further enhance their initial purchase, resulting in increased affiliate commissions for you.
7. Tie All Together - Save Your Time & Effort
Tie all of the above together. You don't have to use just one of the above methods. Use them all.
Create a name compression page, create a review website with a newsletter, add bonuses to your affiliate link, do some video tutorials, develop your own related product, and promote other affiliate products via email to the listings you created with your name compression page and newsletter.
But before you do any of this, make sure you are promoting the product you are selling. In the end, wasting your time doing all of the above for a poorly maintained product doesn't perform well, resulting in missing off a high rate of return.
