Top 5 Tips To Help You Increase Your Affiliate Sales

By Willie Green


Affiliate marketing is what most home business owners are involved with. 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.

Become an "expert" on the product

Experts on the products that they promote are the most successful affiliate marketers. It's highly recommended that you purchase the product yourself in order to gain first-hand experience using it in order to become an expert. If you cannot purchase the product, you must thoroughly research it until you become familiar and knowledgeable enough to promote it.

Try to participate in chat rooms related to the product

You can join an existing chat or you can start your own. During your chat, instead of selling it initially, you can mention the product that you are promoting and describe its benefits. If there is interest in your product, you can then refer them to the product through your affiliate link. When it comes to forums and discussion boards, the same concept holds true.

Write your own affiliate program ads

Pre-written ads is what most merchants will provide for their affiliates to use. By writing your own ad or making significant changes to the one that is pre-written, then your ad will stand out from the others. If this is properly done, then you will be given a great advantage over those affiliates that are using the same ad as everyone else.

Try creating a free newsletter or ezine

To the ezine directories, you can submit your newsletter and also promote it on your website. Keep in mind that most subscribers are interested in receiving "information" that can help them. You will end up with a high unsubscribe rate and you will never gain credibility if you use your mailing list solely for selling. When you have developed a relationship and the trust of your subscribers, the products you are promoting are what you can then recommend.

You can create a fee ebook

As part of your ebook, an advertisement and a link to your affiliate website is what you can include. In order to sign up for your newsletter, the ebook can be given away free or used as an incentive. Your ebook can be offered to other webmasters for inclusion on their website once you submit it to the ebook directories. The more exposure your ebook receives, the more sales you can make.

If you strive to become an expert on the products you promote and use the techniques outlined above, then you are sure to see an increase in your affiliate sales that result in higher commission payments.
