Are you having trouble making money from affiliate
programs, or are you looking for some *alternative* ways to
increase your existing income from them?
Then here is a quick list to get you going:
1. Write your own affiliate program ads. If every other
affiliate uses the same ads you do, that does not give you
an edge over your competition.
Be different! And let people know WHO you are! This will
give yourself an massive advantage over all the other
affiliates.
2. Did you ever try to create an ebook? No? Then just do
it! It is easier than you think. Then give it away for free
to your visitors. They will love you for it!
Put your advertisement and the links to your affiliate
programs in it and submit it to some ebook directories.
3. Start your own affiliate program directory. Join a large
number of affiliate programs and list them all in a
directory format on your web site. Then just advertise your
free affiliate program directory.
4. Participate in chat rooms related to the product you're
reselling. Start a conversation with a person without
trying to sell to them. Later on, while you are chatting,
mention the product you're reselling.
5. Use a personal endorsement ad. For sure only use one if
you've actually bought and know the product or service for
the affiliate program.
Share your own experience and tell people what kind of
benefits and results you've received using the product.
6. Use your signature file to advertise the products you're
reselling. With an attention grabbing headline and a good
reason for them to visit people will come to your affiliate
site. But make sure your sig file doesn't go over 5 lines.
7. Join a web ring. It should attract the same type of
people that would be interested in buying the product
you're reselling. You could also trade links on your own
with other related web sites.
8. Participate on web discussion boards. Post your
comments, answer other people's questions, and ask your own
questions. Include your affiliate text link in your sig
file under each message you post.
9. Create your own free ezine. Then use it to advertise the
affiliate programs you've joined. Submit your ezine to
online ezine directories and promote it on your web site.
10. If you are more advanced then why not start a private
membership site? Use it as a free bonus if people buy the
product you resell.
You see, the list is endless and I could go on and on with
even more tips...
If you just be creative on your own and think up some other
ways I'm sure you will increase your affiliate commissions.
Don't forget that, no matter what you recommend will
reflect directly on you. If your recommendation is a good
quality product or service that is reasonably priced, your
customers will continue to trust you.
And further on they will be interested in your future
recommendations. This way you will easily be able to build
a trustful relationship between you and your costumers –
which truly is one of the keys to success!
