Do you have a product so good you want everybody to know about it? How
about generating more profits from it? If you want the answer,
affiliates are the key. Nevertheless, how do you actually get swarms of
affiliates to promote your product?
Let's take a look:
1. Create An Affiliate Program
The first step of course, is to create your affiliate program. Make
sure you have a good affiliate program that works perfectly well.
Nobody will want to know that they have lost their commissions due to
the malfunction of an affiliate program.
If you don’t have an affiliate program, you can use the service
from ClickBank. They provide an easy, one step affiliate program that
will send you checks every 2 weeks for your earnings.
2. Prepare The Tools
This is one of the largest mistakes an affiliate program owner ever
has. Preparing the right tools for your affiliates is crucial as it can
boost the response from your affiliates. When you do, you give your
affiliates a big reason why they should promote your products.
They don’t need to start everything over from zero, they can
improve, or upgrade your tools and sell more effectively, or they can
save their precious time preparing and instead, start selling your
products right away.
3. Urge Your Visitors
On your sales page, try and urge your visitors in affiliating your
product. Many people just need a push on the back before they will do
something. By urging them to do so, you not only get more affiliates,
you can generate more profits as well.
4. Request Subscribers
If you have a list of subscribers, send out an email asking them to
become an affiliate for your product. Your subscribers know you better
than just normal visitors, they’ll be more responsive to your
request.
5. Create Viral Reports
This is a very effective way of getting more affiliates to promote your
products. A viral report consists of great contents to educate your
readers and you’ll be able to request these readers in promoting
your products as well.
Viral reports get passed around a lot, they are one of the greatest
ways of spreading the word on the Internet. If you haven’t
created your own viral report, create one today!
6. Have A High Ticket Product
Many affiliates are searching for products that have very high price
tag so that they can earn more commissions upon a sale. Of course, make
sure the price is reasonable so people will actually dig their wallets
out for it.
7. Offer High Commissions
A high commission is a great motivation for affiliates. If they can
earn a big portion of commissions from a product or service upon their
sales, it gives them a reason to continue promoting your product or
service to people. Be generous on this, because affiliates can earn you
twice as much alone, maybe even more! As the saying goes “give
and you shall receive.”
8. Embed the Tell-A-Friend Function
Did
you place the tell-a-friend function on your sales page? Did you
place any of it on your order page either? How about the thank you
page? And the page after people subscribed to your newsletter? Humans
are often lazy, they need a nudge before doing anything. Many people
think that the tell-a-friend functions are not effective but the fact
is, they rock. Have you been on a page where you feel like telling
a friend but it takes so many things to do that so you simply leave the
page and forget it?
What if there’s a tell-a-friend function right in front of your
eyes? You’d just fill in the form in 5 seconds and send it all to
your friends. That’s how Tickle, MySpace, Friendster and all the
other high traffic website works – the word of mouth!
9. Make A Squidoo Lens
This
is one of the most under-utilized and highly effectivel ways to get the
word out about your product. Google loves Squidoo. The object is to
summarize the problem that your product solves - explore it fully and
objectively on your lens. Then tell people what the solution to the
problem is. Then tell them how to GET the solution to the problem,
namely your product. This method of product recommendation is not only
highly effective, you're actually helping your customers look at their
problem in a whole new way - and helping them solve it!
10. Blog About It
If
you're selling a product, odds are that you're passionate about your
niche. (And if you're not... well... what's up with that? Get with the
program!) So get a blog at WordPress or Blogger, and write your
observations at least once a week. Some folks even blog once a day.
Promote your product often enough that your readers and subscribers
associate you with the solution you're offering.
If you haven’t applied any of the steps above, take
action now and do it today.
