Hey there Michael Carter here. Thanks for joining. We're looking at sneaky ways to boost affiliate commissions online. Now nearly every day there's a new affiliate program introduced to the online marketplace.
Now with affiliate marketing becoming so popular, there's new and upcoming entrepreneurs. You almost certainly need to have really unique ways to increase your own affiliate commissions. Now if you're able to successfully test new methods of putting products in front of people then you're certain to get ahead of the competition.
I'm going to give you ten ways to increase your affiliate commissions that you can apply in your own business. Now the first one we're looking at our chat rooms.
Now one way you can get the word out that you're offering a product for resale is actually joining with other people. Join in chat rooms start chatting with people be really friendly be helpful and this you can befriend people and just start the conversations.
Don't try to sell people first. That's always a bad idea to make friends and later when the time actually presents itself then you can share what your offer is. You don't overstep that boundary. People do not like that and they don't appreciate it.
Now the second one is offer free ebooks a very easy way to get the word out about your offer. It's great a free e-book for your Niche. Now in the back of your free ebook that you're going to actually give away to everyone you can place an advertisement for your products and links back to your website. And these are basically the sales pages for your products. Then you can just simply give the book away. Ask others to also give it away as well and just be certain that it actually contains tons of useful information that will make people want to share it everywhere. Just give away your best stuff.
Now number three affiliate program directory. Now you can gain popularity by joining a lot of these high quality affiliate programs and then listing them all in a directory and then you can offer that for free on your Web site. Now you want to make sure that if the affiliate programs offer compensation for referrals that use affiliate links to send people to them. That way of course you can get compensated for that.
So number 4 write your own ads. Now when you join an affiliate program to sell a product you can spend a little bit of time writing your own ad for that product. Now the idea is you want to have different ads from every other affiliate that could be offering the same products.
The next one we're looking at is personal endorsements. Now sometimes you could actually purchase products that you will turn around and become an affiliate for. Now in this case you really should write a personal endorsement for the product along with a short review of the product itself. Now you should only ever do this if you actually bought the product. If you didn't buy it and you don't actually have it don't do that it's just wrong. Do not do that.
The number six place affiliate ads in your signature file. When you write articles or guest posts. You can advertise the affiliate product that you're selling in your signature file. It's kind of just an easy way for people to see that and make sales that way. And you've got to use an attention grabbing headline and make sure that you give them a really good reason to visit the affiliate site and don't go over 5 lines with that signature file.
It's the next one. Trade links. You can actually seek out other website owners who they could be interested in buying the products that you're selling an offer or trade links with them. Links will help with SEO and getting additional traffic to your own site.
So next one join forums you should look for forums that are related to your Niche. Join the forums to get involved in the conversations that are going on. Can respond to other people's questions and ask questions that will stimulate that conversation that is related to your own products. Make sure that you display your affiliate link of course in your signature file.
So number 9 create a newsletter and create a free newsletter that you can distribute to anyone who wants it. Now make sure that you place your affiliate offers inside the Free Newsletter of course and you can even submit your free newsletter to online ezine directories and you can also promote it on your own website of course.
Number 10 create a VIP website. Now you can create a membership site for the people who purchase the offers that you're selling and the only way to join it would be to actually purchase one of your offers and the benefit that they would get additional free information from you. Now as a side benefit you get to really place more offers in front of them as well.
So it's really really cool way.
Now the number of ways to increase your commissions. I mean certainly more than these ten have gone over. Now if you plan to get started as an affiliate for any new product no matter what it is I encourage you try each and every one of these on the list or all of them implement a different way maybe do it for a few weeks and before you know it you've tried them all just trust me just try them all. Don't give up. This stuff works alright.
Now. If something you find isn't working as well just discard it. You don't have to use them but they're there for you to help you. So that's about it. If you apply these you will be swimming in affiliate commissions and that's about it. Thanks for watching. Take care. I'm Money Mike a.k.a. Michael Carter. And we'll see you next time. Bye-bye.
