10 Steps to Bigger Affiliate Commissions

10 Steps To Bigger Affiliate Commissions!
-----------------------------------------

If you're having trouble making money from affiliate programs,
or are looking for ways to increase your existing income from
them, here is a quick list to get you going:

1. Learn how to PRE-sell your visitors instead of
    hard-selling them. Using this technique will put
    your visitors in the right frame of mind to visit
    the merchant's website and have a look at the
    product offerings.

2. Focus on one or two products and put all of your
    your effort into promoting them. Your visitors
    aren't looking for a shopping mall, but rather a
    website that has great information on their area
    of interest.

3. Purchase the products you are promoting. This will
    enable you to know first-hand if the product is of
    high-enough quality to deserve your efforts, and
    will give you the ability to provide an honest
    recommendation based on your own experience with
    the product.

4. Create an email course and include your affiliate
    link in each email with a recommendation on how that
    product will help your visitors. Setup an
    autoresponder to put this idea on autopilot

5. Write articles and submit them to newsletter authors
    and article directories. You can either include a
    recommendation for the product within the article, or
    at the end in your author's resource box.

6. Add a few lines promoting an affiliate product in your
    signature that goes out in all of your emails. Every
    email you send will have your advertisement with your
    affiliate link in it.

7. Purchase a domain name strictly for the purpose of
    promoting your favorite affiliate program. Use a
    forwarding service to redirect the domain name to
    your favorite affiliate program.

8. Create a mini site that focuses on only one affiliate
    program. Spend your time promoting this site through
    search engine positioning, pay-per-click search
    engines, ezine ads, etc.

9. Create an ebook with useful information on your chosen
    topic and give it away. In your ebook you will have
    links to different affiliate products and if any sales
    are made through them you will get the commissions.
    Make sure you let other webmasters know they are free
    to give away your ebook as well so you can get as many
    copies as possible out there.

10. And last but not least is to create your OWN product!
    Satisfied customers will gladly purchase from you again
    in the future. If you don't have other products to sell
    them, make recommendations of products that you can earn
    a commission from through affiliate programs.

This is definitely not intended to be a comprehensive list, but if you
apply these techniques you can quickly start to see an increase in
your affiliate commissions!
