clickbank:Insider Power Tips That Boost Your Earnings
With a little research, you can be up and running as a Clickbank affiliate and, more importantly, earning commissions.
You could get lucky and pick some incredible products and the most
effective way to drive traffic to those products. It’s more likely
though that you’ll need to spend time selecting and researching products
and how best to promote them.
Here are some tactics that’ll help you achieve success more quickly:
Tip #1: Only promote products that you’re passionate about
Passion speaks volumes. It enthuses people. If you’re an expert or
any way knowledgeable about a subject, you’ll be much more convincing
when trying to convince them to part with their money. If you express
your passion,people will want to share in it and they’ll be much more
predisposed to buying.
Start your affiliate marketing career in those areas you know most
about.Obviously, there has to be money in the market or people won’t
buy. Don’t give in to the temptation to sell the products that give the
biggest commissions,especially if you know nothing about the product or
the market its aimed at. That’s a sure-fire way to fail.
Tip #2: Only promote products that you’re familiar with
It’s important to know the products you sell. You’ll know their
strengths and weaknesses and be better able to sell them. Telling your
readers how you benefited from a product is a great way of selling it.
Try and use case studies that show what things were like before you used
the product and after you used it.
Consequently, you should always buy a product you intend to
promote. If you’re dubious about buying it, then why shouldn’t your
potential customers be equally as dubious? If you’re not convinced, why
should they be?
Then familiarize yourself with the product. You can then sell it on
its benefits.If it has any drawbacks, you could mention those and offer a
solution as well.
Tip #3: Add more value
The classic way of promoting a product is to use your affiliate link
and simply redirect people to the product’s sales page. That’s fine if
the page contains a good sales letter or if you’re simply testing
response to that product.
One better long-term tactic is to write a review of the product.
Don’t just write a “this product is brilliant” type review. You’ve
got to write it as a user of the product, not as a sales pitch. So say
what’s wrong with it or mention things it lacks and provide solutions.
That might be through information
you can provide yourself or through another product you recommend.
Another effective strategy is to initially attack the product and
then gradually come around to liking it and then to why you now find it
indispensable.
One great tactic to mention is the Before and After results. Show how the product has worked for you in a case study.
If you’re competing with other affiliates selling the same product,
then you need to give your visitors a reason to buy through your link,
rather than through another affiliate’s link (or through your customer’s
own link). The best way to do this is incentivize your potential
customers by offering them exclusive bonuses if they buy through your
link. You want to provide bonuses that are relevant to the product, not
some crappy freebie you got last week. And there’s no point in giving a
bonus on cat-breeding techniques if the product’s about digital
photography. It’s all about adding value to the product and product
relevancy. Make your bonuses better than anyone else’s and people will
want to buy through your links.
Tip #4: Don’t be like everyone else
Most Clickbank affiliates are lazy. They’re quite happy to simply
redirect people to the product sales pages. Maybe they’re just not clued
in and they don’t realise the money they’re letting slip through their
fingers.
If you provide additional value through an honest review and/or
extra bonuses,you’re way ahead of those other affiliates and people will
buy from you.
A recent poll found that only 3% of affiliate marketers have built a
list of subscribers to their newsletter. All the top marketers have
lists. Why? Because they’re lucrative. They almost provide a guaranteed
income. You can market to these people again and again and, if you’re
honest and provide quality information, they’ll buy from you again and
again. You don’t have
to keep looking for new customers. You can just
add new ones to your existing customer base. It seems such an obvious
thing to do, it’s surprising how few actually do it. Check out the
Affiliate Marketing Quickstart page for resources on list building.
By providing such a newsletter service, you’re saving people time
and money researching products. You’re also giving them shortcuts to the
best possible products so they don’t end up wasting their money on crap
ones.
The more information you can provide, the more valuable a resource
you become to them. And they’ll be more inclined to buy the products you
recommend.
One common newbie mistake is to take the shotgun approach to
marketing - finding lots of good products and trying to market them all
at the same time. Not a good idea. Concentrate on one product. Get that
right and you
can then repeat the process for any product . If you
try to market too many products without knowing what you’re doing, some
may do well, others not and you won’t know why some are selling well.
It’ll all be down to pot luck, a roll of the dice. That’s not the way to
do business.
