How To Increase Your Affiliate Commissions

How To Increase Your Affiliate Commissions
By Lawrence

There are literally countless ways to advertise your affiliate
links. The real trick to affilliate marketing though is
winning the clicks to conversions number game.

Now, since your not in direct control of the conversion process
you only need to concern yourself with identifying top selling
products and where to advertise them.

Identiying top sellers through the Click Bank marketplace is a
no brainer... they`re listed in order of conversions.

Marketing other merchant`s products through Click Bank can be a
very lucrative business. The only question remains... where
else can I promote affiliate products other than my own web
site?

The following are just a few of a multitude of examples that
you might consider.

Participate in chat rooms related to the product you`re
reselling. Start a conversation with a person without trying
to sell to them. Later on, while you are chatting, mention the
product you`re reselling.

Creating a free ebook with the advertisement and link to your
affiliate web site page can produce really great results. The
subject of the free ebook should draw your target audience in
to down-load it. Also submit it to some free ebook directories.

My personal recommendation if you want to be a serious
affiliate marketer is to start your own affiliate program
directory. Simply join a large number of affiliate programs
and list them all in a directory format on your web site. Then
just advertise your free affiliate program directory. You can
even accept submissions!

Write your own affiliate program ads. If all the other
affiliates use the same ads you do, that doesn`t give you an
edge or "distinction" over your competition. So consider using
a different ad to give yourself an advantage over all the
other affiliates.

Use a personal endorsement ad. Only use one if you`ve actually
bought the product or service for the affiliate program. Tell
people what kind of benefits and results you`ve received using
the product.

Advertise the product you`re reselling in your signature file...
and always use a signature file. Use an attention getting
headline and a good reason for them to visit your affiliate
site. Make sure your signature file doesn`t go over 5 lines.

Join a web ring. It should attract the same type of people that
would be interested in buying the product you`re reselling.
You could also trade links on your own with other related web
sites.

Participate on web discussion boards. Post your comments,
answer other people`s questions, and ask your own questions.
Include your affiliate text link under each message you post.

Create a free ezine. Use your ezine to advertise the affiliate
programs you`ve joined. Submit your ezine to online ezine
directories and promote it on your web site.

Start a private web site. Use it as a free bonus if people buy
the product you resell. You could also allow people to join
for free and you could advertise the affiliate program you`ve
joined.

You might consider purchasing an opt-in list or promoting your
affiliate links through you monthly or weekly newsletter.

Another powerful way for you to promote your affiliate products
is to list your affiliate link in Pay per click search engines
or sponsored links!

My personal favorite is Niche PPC search engines. I`ve
collected over 25,000 dollars of free PPC advertising. When I
join an affiliate program I list my affiliate link in a Niche
PPC engine!

You`ll undoubtedly find many more ways to promote your
affiliate links but the point I`m making is the more you do
the better your affilliate conversion rates will be.
