| 3 Tips
To Succeed With Affiliate Programs |
| |
>> Dear
friends, when it comes to promoting affiliate programs
we all follow a certain defined process. We first go to
google.com ,type affiliate programs in the search field.
When
the results get displayed we look for "high paying"
affiliate
programs. By "high paying" I mean those who pay 25%
commissions.
Then we visit each and every website listed and join the
programs becuse they are free! to join. We put all sorts
of
banners and text ads on our links page and expect to see
a
check in our mail box the next morning.
Well, I am here going to reveal a very different way of
promoting affiliate programs. Let us revise the process
one-by-one.
Step 1> Search for affiliate programs with your favorite
search engine. Look for only those affiliate programs
whcich
have products which interests you. For example if you
are
interested in "radio controlled airplanes" then look for
such
products first. Don't start with promoting "herbal
shampoos"
or "yoga cd's" just because they pay 40% commissions.
Since you already know a little about rc planes it wiil
be
much easier for you to promote various aspects of the
product.
So when selecting the affiliate prgram keep in mind the
following sequence
a)Product which you know about or are interested in.
b)Qulaity of the product. To know the quality of the
product it is advisavle to buy the product yourself
first.
c)The organisation associated with the product. Look for
the promotional material they are giving to affiliates.
This shows the confidence of the manufacturer in their
own
product.
d)Commission structure. Some webmasters provide 2 tier
commission structure. Some have a threshhold amout
before
the affiliates get paid. Here is a nice place to sart
with.
This is a list which contains 50 affiliate Programs That
Pay
AT LEAST 50% commissions.

Step 2> Design a simple landing page to "presell" the
product
before sending the visitors to actual sales page. Now
this step
is extremely imporant. Why do you to presell the product
?. This
is because this is internet. No one knows you here or
has seen
you personally.
Normally when someone buys from the internet he is going
to look
for similar 4-5 products before he gets to the final
decision.
Here if he comes to your affiliate landing page it
becomes
much easier for him to compare the product you want to
promote
with similar 4-5 products in the category.
The landing page you have designed can have testimonials,
which
you can borrow from the sales page. It can also contain
your
own experience about the product. You can use before/after
situations for describing the benefits of the product.
You can use
photographs of yourself using the product successfully.
This
adds instant credibility to the product you want to
promote.
Step 3>When the visitors reach your landing page you
must have
a system to capture their names and email addresses.
Because
as I said earlier there are many people who look for
similar
4-5 products before buying. By capturing email addresse
you can
"follow up" your subscribers later on using newsletters
or
product features using email autoresponders.
The best way to capture email addresses is to provide a
free gift related to the product. This free gift can be
an eBook written by you or many webmasters already have
an
ebook written for the affiliates. SO again this is a
very
importan tpoint, join only those programs where you will
find
a decent promitional material already prepared for the
affiliates.
That's it friends. I hope these words were helpful. I
wish
you good lick in your affiliate promotional journey << |
