Want To Explode Your Affiliate Commissions To The Guru Level ?

By: Marvin Z. Stanton

The best thing about affiliate marketing is that you do not have to have your own website. You don't have to worry about dealing with customers, refunds, website maintnance, product development or any of the other tasks that come along with the territory of owning your own website.

Lets say you are already into an affiliate program, what would be the next thing you would want to do to Explode your commissions? How do you do that?

Here are some very powerful tips on how to make more money with your affiliate program to take it to the Guru Level!

1. Look for the best program and products to promote. Obviously, you would want to promote a program that has a high commission and possibly a 2nd tier program or something that pays month after month like membership sites that enable you to achieve the greatest profits in the shortest possible time.

There are some factors to consider in choosing such a program. Choose the ones that have a higher commission structure. Have products that fit in your niche. And that has a solid track record of paying their affiliate easily and on time. If you cannot make a good profit after your advertising expenses, then drop that affiliate.

There are tons of affiliate programs online which gives you plenty to choose from and pick the ones that have a good track record and have higher paying commission. You may want to select the best to avoid losing your advertising expenses.

If you decide to build a review site to promote your affiliate products which I highly recommend, then write free reports or short ebooks to give away from your site. There is a great possibility that you are competing with other people that are promoting the same program. If you start writing short report related to the product you are promoting, you will be able to seperate yourself from the other affiliates.

The reports provide some valuable information for free. It would be a great idea to add some recommendations about the products. With ebooks, you get credibility. 

2. Make sure you 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. To do this I recommend you use an Autoresponder like Aweber or GetResponse. Both of these come with How-To-Videos that make it easy to work with.

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. This way you will be creating your very own subscribers list that you can promote other great products.

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. You can 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 to use these tips for several affiliate marketing programs. You can end maintaining a good source of income and surviving in this business that not all marketers can do. Besides, think of the huge paychecks you will be receiving…
