5 Ways To Increase Your Affiliate Commissions
Affiliate marketing is a
business model with huge
opportunities for
marketers. In this report, you’re going to
learn how to tap fully into that potential so that you
can start
earning BIG while working LITTLE.
The term passive income essentially refers to any revenue
stream that doesn’t require your constant
attention and
care.
For example, if you
were to sell a mobile app then you
could
theoretically release
the app onto the
app store and then let
the sales role in. You could then head off
to retire to a
tropical island and
you’d still be earning the same
money.
This is the dream for many internet marketers – to be able
to earn cash while
they sleep. Not only because… well
that’s obviously amazing… but also because it means the
business model is highly salable. If you can release one hit
app, you can release a hundred. You won’t be working any
extra, but your earnings will have gone up x 100!
The problem with releasing an app though is that it requires
skill, time, money and luck. The Average Joe cannot simply
decide that they are going to release a best-selling
app.
That’s the bad news.
The good news though is that there are other ways you can
make passive income.
Some of these methods are
incredibly simple and highly effective. And the best part
of
all is that anyone can use them.
Affiliate marketing is just such a method. I’m here to tell you
that it’s time you sat up and took notice
of this option.
Moreover, it’s time you started doing it right.
Affiliate marketing really is a system that anyone can use to
start making passive
money online. It’s fool-proof and it
requires no technical skill. The only reason that more people
aren’t doing this is that they either don’t know about it, or
they don’t really believe how powerful
and effective it is.
Let’s put it simply: if you invest
just a couple of hours each
evening into affiliate
marketing, then you can expect
to
eventually earn enough money that you can quit your
day
job.
The best part? You don’t even need to create a product
yourself. You don’t even need to create
your own marketing
materials. You are going
to simply to take an existing
business model and duplicate it to start making money for
yourself. It’s a copy-and-paste business plan. See? Fool
proof!
Okay, so not quite fool proof.
In this report, you’re going to discover
5 ways that you can
start getting more from your affiliate marketing.
1 Branch Out With
Different
Products and Services
The first tip if you
want to make the very most from your
affiliate marketing activities, then one of
the most important
ways to do so is
to branch out with different products.
That is to say, that
you should be selling more than just
e books. E books are the go-to option for many
marketers,
because they are likely to use platforms such as JV Zoo and
Click bank. E books of course have no overheads or delivery
costs, and that also means that creators are able to offer
much higher commission.
But while that all sounds good, selling e books also limits
your market drastically.
Why?
Because a lot of people don’t buy e books.
Think about it:
• Does your gran buy e books?
• How about your friend who doesn’t read?
• How about any of your friends
who aren’t into internet
marketing and don’t read self-improvement?
This is why – despite what many
blogs may lead you to
believe – physical products are still by far the biggest sellers
on the web.
So, if you sell those
– whether through
Amazon, another
affiliate program, or a direct deal with the manufacturer –
you will be able to make significantly more sales, which
means more money.
But what’s more, is that
this will also allow you to offer
some
products that cost significantly more. For example, what if
you were to sell a college MBA course? Yep, there are
programs that let you
do this, and as you can imagine
the
profit is potentially
gigantic.
Likewise, you could use something as simple as Amazon
Associates accounts in order to sell gaming laptops – these
often cost $3,500 and more! Even 4% of that is still over
$100.
2 Use the Right Tools
If you have countless different products and services
to sell
through your site, then you’ll find that it can become difficult
tracking everything.
• How do you find out what is earning you the most
money?
• How do you chase up the money you haven’t received?
• How can you create links for
each of those different
products?
And the answer is to use a tool such as Reaganomics or
Genius Link. These allow you to quickly find and add
different affiliate
accounts and then to
generate links from
those products. What’s more, is that they’ll let you track the
performance of each.
Both these tools have Chrome plugins, meaning that you
can simply navigate to a page where
they sell what you’re
looking for, and then click a button to
automatically generate
the necessary links. The only catch is that
costs $500 per month.
Beginners might wish to stick with Genius Link then,
but this
does also give you a clue as to how much the really
big
brands are making from
this process!
3 Use Top 10 Lists
Then you have tons of
options for selling these products.
You no longer need to market hard toward other
internet
entrepreneurs: now you can create top 10 lists with great
SEO in order to bring in regular customers.
Let’s go back to those gaming laptops. Let’s say you want to
create a list of expensive
laptops that will bring new visitors
to your site and result in conversions for you. What might
someone search for when looking to buy those products?
Well, the top graphics card right now is
the RTX 2080.
That’s what most people will want
if they’re looking to buy a
top-end gaming laptop, and it also guarantees the product
will be expensive.
If we quickly head over
to a keyword research tool such as
Keywordtool.io, then we can see that the
best phrase for
this is RTX 2080 laptops. That has a search volume of
6,600; and we can rest assured that most people searching
this phrase will have the “intent” to buy from you!
Add some bullets to your post along with your SEO, and
your link might appear in the SERPs with a rich
snippet –
leading to much higher
click through rates. Write a great
article, and you’ll increase your conversions
too!
4 Build a Passionate
Audience
Using the above outlined strategy, it would be possible to
sell lots of products from your site without needing to build
any kind of regular audience. That said, it is still highly
recommended that you
do take the time
to build that
audience.
When you take time to build an audience that trusts you,
that makes you a thought leader and an
influencer. This
makes ALL the difference
when it comes to your
conversions.
When someone knows you and trusts what you have to
say, that means they will have a reason to listen to your
product recommendations.
They know that they like your style, and you’ve spent time
developing a relationship.
Not only that, but you’ll have
spent time and effort
targeting precisely the right people.
To get to this point, you need to focus on delivering
consistently fantastic content in your niche, while
also
having a strong social presence. Focus on relationships
and
communication – help your followers to feel
like they know
you.
When it comes to actually writing content, the goal should
be to offer an original take on a subject, and to
only write
about a subject you’re passionate about. This will be the
difference between rehashing existent content (which might
also be outdated or low quality) versus writing something
new and interesting that no one has heard before.
Put it this way: you can’t become a thought leader if you
don’t understand the subject, and you’re just copying other
people’s content!
Create a strong brand,
know your target demographic, and
don’t try to appeal to everyone. Do this, and you will grow
rapidly and increase engaging several fold.
5 Use PPC
Now you have long-term readers buying from you, as well
as first-time visitors that have found you on Google.
By
combining sales from these two sources, you can
drastically
increase your revenue.
But we’re going to go one step further
by also throwing in
PPC for good measure.
PPC is of course Pay Per Click,
which is a type of advertising offered by Google and
Facebook. What this
allows you to do, is to pay for
ads only
if someone actually clicks them.
The reason this is important, is that it gives you a certain
cost for each visitor to your site. If you know your conversion
rate, and the amount of profit you make from those
conversions, then you can work out a strategy that will
guarantee you
returns.
