If you want to make more money as an affiliate promoting
other people's products, you have to set yourself apart
from other affiliates. Here are seven advanced strategies
that will help you do so:
1. Mailing List
Build your own mailing list of prospects. Keep promoting
different affiliate programs to the people on your list, as
opposed to losing the visitor forever once they clicked
over to the merchant's site.
2. Success Stories
Write an inspirational success story on how this product
helped you or someone you know. After identifying with
your success story, many people will be ready to buy.
3. Reviews
Write a detailed review of the product with pros and cons.
Of course, the pros should outweigh the cons. People will
trust the review much more than a sales pitch.
4. Pay Per Click
Try Pay Per Click advertising on Google Adwords and
Overture. Start out with a small budget to test the
waters. If your sales commissions are greater than the cost
of advertising, continue and expand your Pay Per Click
campaign.
5. Blogs
Start a blog on a subject relevant to affiliate programs
that you promote. Add affiliate links to your posts.
Search engines love blogs, so you will get a lot of
traffic.
6. Articles
Write articles releated to the product or service you
promote. At the end of your articles, include your author
bio with your affiliate link. Other websites will publish
your articles and bring you free targeted traffic.
7. Tracking
Always track how many visitors you are sending to each
affiliate program, and how many sales you get from those
visitors. This way you will separate the winning affiliate
programs from the losers, and focus on promoting the most
profitable ones.
