7 Tips To Grow Your Affiliate Income
Try the product
Before starting to promote something as an affiliate, go the extra mile and try the product. You can either ask the owner a copy for review, or just buy it and try it. Then write an honest review of the product including good and bad. Your e-mails and messages will be more convincing if you actually have personal experience with the product you sell.
Diversification
Do not focus on promoting a single product. Keep a constant eye on what's available in your market and try these products as well. If they are quality items that your readers might be interested in moving forward and promote them as well. People will often buy several items if they are interested in a subject or trying to find a solution to a problem.
Get Better at SEO
Sharpen your skills SEO for more traffic to your affiliate site. This is the cheapest form of traffic to your site. Start with the basics to make sure you choose good keywords and then use these in the title and content of your message. Do not forget to work on getting more links to point to your pages as well. Spend some time each month to learn new skills in this field and apply what you learn.
Follow Up
Let's face it, not every visitor that comes to your website is ready to buy. Set up an autoresponder to capture their name and email address and regular monitoring. Give them a good, useful content and build a relationship with your list. Continue to offer affiliate products through and if you do your job well, they will buy and do it frequently.
Find the recurring revenue
And if I said there was a way you could make a sale once and get paid for it month after month. This is exactly what you can do with affiliate products that offer recurring commissions. Check things like accommodation and membership websites for these types of affiliate checks.
See the Backend
No, I'm not trying to be funny here. Marketers who know what they do have a few good products backend in place. With a good affiliate offers, you not only make a commission on the sale at first, but the rest of the marketing upsell your visitors on down the road too.
Test
Do not be afraid to try other offerings. Always be on the lookout for other products in your market that pay decent commissions. You never know when you come across one that pays a higher commission or converts better than you are currently marketing to your list.
