5 Unique Ways To Get FREE Advertising1. Give Testimonials
When you purchase a product or service and it exceeds your
dozens of affiliate programs shows that at least
70% of sales in any affiliate program are made by
the small percentage of affiliates who actually
buy the product they're selling. It makes sense
doesn't it (how can you recommend something
you've never used)'
3. Banners - they don't work anymore, and some
experts believe banners will actually damage your
affiliate sales.
4. Personal recommendation. The human factor is
very important on the Internet - people want to
know that someone else has bought the product and
that it worked for them. But to write a
convincing personal recommendation, you'll have
to buy, read and use the product you're selling.
5. 'Over-selling' - this is the most common
mistake of affiliates. Keep in mind that all you
need to do to succeed with affiliate programs is
to get your potential customer to click through
to the affiliate website in an 'open-to-buy'
mindset. If the affiliate program is good, the
affiliate website will make the sale. So don't
try to sell the product from your website - just
aim to get a click on your affiliate link.
5. Standard Ads. When you join an affiliate
program, you'll probably be given some standard
ads to use. Don't use them! Why' Because your
potential customer has probably seen those exact
same ads on dozens of websites and in dozens of
Ezines. And if that standard ad hasn't led them
to buy the product so far, it probably won't now.
Something new and original is required.
6. Back-end sales. Once you're succeeding in one
affiliate program, join another program that
offers a related product and use the technique
that marketers call 'back-end' sales. It's a well
known fact that people are much more likely to
buy from someone they have already bought from.
So when someone makes a purchase from your
affiliate link, send them a nice follow-up
letter. At the end of the letter, tell them about
your other affiliate product and how it can help
them.
Every success to you!
