Tip #80: Give free talks at local organizations.

Many of the local clubs in your area would be thrilled to have a free guest speaker at their next “luncheon meeting.”

And all you have to do to secure these speaking engagements is call the person who’s in charge of the events (such as the club president).

Examples:

• If you sell business products, then you could speak at a Chamber of Commerce meeting.

• If you sell gardening products, then offer to speak at a gardening club meeting.

• If you sell information related to classic cars, then you can offer to speak at classic car event.

Point is, there are probably dozens of niche clubs having a meeting every month in your hometown.

See if there isn’t one that relates to your niche, and get on the phone to land yourself a speaking engagement.

Tip #81: Give free workshops in your area.

Instead of just giving a talk, you could do a demonstration or hold a short workshop.

Examples:

• If you sell model airplane kits, then you could do a workshop where you demonstrate the finer points of painting a model airplane.

• If you sell poodle grooming kits, then you could demonstrate the proper way to clip and groom a poodle.

At the end of the demonstration, include a “take away” flyer that includes highlights of your workshop along with affiliate links for your products.

Tip #82: Go to offline niche events.

Earlier you discovered that an easy way to boost your income is to ask for higher commission rates from vendors. And one of the best ways to ask a vendor is in person.

If you go to niche workshops, tradeshows, conferences and other events, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to meet vendors and discuss more lucrative commissions.

And that’s not all.

You can also use these offline events to:

? Meet JV (joint venture) partners. Get their contact information and follow up with them after the event to discuss JV opportunities.

? Meet prospects. Be sure to give them a reason to visit your blog and/or join your newsletter.

Tip #83: Use press releases to drive traffic.

While you can submit press releases to national or international media outlets, one of the easiest places to get a release printed is right in your hometown paper.

That’s because your local media is most interested in what local business people are doing.

Extra Tip: Address your release to the editor of the correct department… and make sure you spell his or her name right!

Tip #84: Hand out targeted flyers.

Some people suggest “mass papering” a parking lot full of cars (which may or may not be legal in your area).

However, you’re looking for targeted traffic, which means you’ll do better if you hand out flyers directly to a targeted group of prospects.

Examples:

• Hand out flyers at a “boat expo” to sell boating products.

• Pass out flyers at an organized day hike to promote hiking products.

• Hand out dog-related flyers at a dog show.

Extra Tip: Always ask for permission first before doing this at someone else’s event. You can increase the chances of the organizer saying yes by doing a joint venture with him.

For example, you include your ads and the organizer’s ad on the flyer. He gets a good deal because you pay for the flyers and spend the time and energy distributing them.

Tip #85: Send out postcards or other mailings.

If you’re not already collecting physical addresses in addition to email addresses, you may want to consider doing it.

Indeed, all you have to do is offer your prospects a physical freebie (such as a CD or DVD) in order to get their mailing info. Alternatively, you can buy physical mailing lists (www.srds.com).

Extra Tip: You can slash your mailing costs by doing a joint venture with other marketers in your niche.

Just create a mailing where everyone gets to include a flyer (or an ad on one flyer). Printing and shipping costs are minimal for each partner.

Tip #86: Use two-step advertising.

Finally, you can attract offline prospects by placing small classified ads in niche publications (or in niche-specific sections of the general classifieds).

However, don’t try to sell or pre-sell your prospects on buying a product.

Instead, offer a free report and send prospects to your squeeze page to claim that report. Then you can close the sale using your autoresponder.

Quick Recap

You just found out how to find prospects in a virtually untapped environment: Offline.

Read on to find out what one little skill you should hone if you want to start making even more money…

101 Affiliate Marketing Tips- Part Eight

Using Content for Maximum Impact

One way to reach deeply into your market and beat your competition is by using content marketing.

In this section you’ll use the tips and tricks to wring the most money out of every piece of content you distribute…

Tip #65: Do your keyword research.

If you want to use your content to pull traffic in from the search engines, then you’ll need to do your keyword research.

That way, you can find out exactly what words your market is already using to search for you… and then you can create content (i.e., articles) that includes those words about two to three times for every 100 words.

Extra Tip: Use Google’s Keyword Tool or WordTracker to find longtail keywords.

These tend to be four to five word phrases that may not get the search volume of a two-word keyword phrase, but neither do they have the competition.

And that means you can generally rank well in the search engines for these words.

Once you’ve created optimized articles, then you can:

? Post them on your blog.

? Submit them to article directories (like EzineArticles.com, GoArticles.com and IdeaMarketers.com).

? Trade them with other bloggers (i.e., become guest authors on each others’ blogs).

? Post them on social media sites.

? Paste them on niche forums.

Tip #66: Use articles to pre-sell affiliate products.

Blog articles, articles in article directories, articles on social media sites, articles you send to your list – you can use all these articles (and more) to pre-sell affiliate products.

Examples:

• Let’s suppose you’re selling an affiliate marketing report (like this one ? ). You can write an article that lists five of your own affiliate marketing tips, and then include your affiliate link for the report at the end of the article.

• Alternatively, you can create an article that talks about why affiliate marketing is the best business for a beginning marketer. Then drop your affiliate link at the end of the article.

• Finally, you can use the product reviews and comparisons we talked about earlier in this report. If it’s a new product, be sure to optimize for phrases like “[product name] review.”

That’s because your prospects will likely search for those terms in the upcoming weeks and months.

Tip #67: Weave product recommendations into your articles.

Another way to use an article to sell an affiliate product is by creating a “how to” article with a product recommendation dropped into the middle of the article. This works best if one of the steps in your article requires some particular tool or resource.

Examples:

• You create a “step-by-step” guide showing people how to install an aftermarket dashboard kit in their car. Then you recommend and promote a particular kit using your affiliate link.

• You write a “how to” article that describes how much a bodybuilder should eat and when. Part of the article talks about taking a whey protein supplement… and you include your affiliate link to a particular brand of protein.

Tip #68: Create pre-sell videos.

Naturally, you’re not just limited to text articles when you’re pre-selling affiliate products. You can also create videos and load them up onto YouTube.com and other social media sites (such as Squidoo.com).

Extra Tip: If it’s a physical product, show viewers how to use the product or what it looks like. In keeping with an example from the previous tip, you could create a video showing prospects how easy it is to install the dashboard kit (and what the dash looks like when it’s all finished).

Tip #69: Create free reports and distribute.

If can write more than an article on a particular topic, then you should consider writing special reports (with your affiliate links embedded).

The idea is the same: You create useful but incomplete information so that readers need to purchase a product to solve their problems.

Or you provide complete “how to” instructions along with a link for a product (e.g., the dashboard kit example).

Once your report is complete, give it away freely on your blog, to your newsletter list and on social media sites. You may also list it in “free ebook directories” and in your niche forum signature files.

Extra Tip: If the report promotes a product with a two-tier affiliate program, then you can make the report rebrandible.

That is, you let others join the affiliate program using your link and then they change the links in the report to their affiliate link.

Since it’s a two-tier program, you still get a small commission for every sale they make… and so do they, which means they have an incentive to promote your report!

Tip #70: Offer resell rights to your products.

Another way to get massive exposure for your affiliate links is to create paid products, include your links in these products, and then offer resell rights to the products to other marketers.

It’s a win-win situation.

The other marketer has an incentive to promote your product, since they get to keep 100% of the profits. You win because your affiliate links are included in the product, meaning you get the backend income.

And as an added bonus, you even make a little money up front selling those resell rights licenses.

Extra Tip: You can sell resell rights licenses to your products on marketing forums like WarriorForum.com (classified section or Warrior Special Offer forum), the DigitalPoint.com marketplace or the SitePoint.com marketplace.

Tip #71: Avoid using direct affiliate links in products.

Earlier you discovered that you should use redirect links to prevent customers from chopping off your affiliate ID and other marketers from stealing your commissions.

Here’s another reason to use redirects: If the affiliate program ever ends or the product gets taken off the market, you won’t have thousands of dead links floating around in free reports, articles and so on.

That’s because all you have to do is change the redirect link from the old affiliate product to a similar affiliate product.

End result: No more lost sales!

Tip #72: Blanket your niche with content.

Imagine this: Your prospect is searching for various niche-related keywords in Google. Seems like every time he searches for something, an article with YOUR name on it turns up.

What’s that prospect going to think of you?

That’s right – he’s going to assume you’re an expert. And as you already know, establishing yourself as a niche expert boosts sales.

To that end, you should blanket the niche with your name by blanketing it with your content.

For example:

? Post videos on YouTube.com and Break.com.

? Create pages on HubPages.com and Squidoo.com.

? Participate on the major forums in your niche.

? Create and post regularly to a blog.

? Participate on the major social networking forums.

? Create third-party blogs on sites like Blogger.com.

? Submit articles to article directories.

? Trade content with other marketers in your niche (e.g., trade blog and newsletter content).

Quick Recap

You just learned how to use content to boost your sales. Next up, you’ll discover how to use social communities to increase your affiliate income…

Banking Even More Affiliate Cash

These series of articles are all about you making more money as an affiliate.

In this section, you’ll find out what the super affiliates know about banking bigger checks…

Tip #46: Read the affiliate agreement.

That’s right, before you start promoting a new affiliate product, be sure to read the affiliate agreement and terms of service on the vendor’s site.

Doing so will eliminate nasty surprises, such as “no affiliate payouts until you reach $1500 in commissions or until Haley’s comet swings by Earth again.”

Note: OK, I made that one up – but you’d be surprised at what type of profit-draining clauses you’ll find inside some of these agreements!

Tip #47: Ask the product vendor for bigger commissions.

Once you earn a reputation as a super affiliate in your niche, OR once you’ve proven your sales record to a specific vendor, you can approach that vendor and ask for a bigger commission rate.

Many vendors already have a rate that they offer to special partners. You can simply ask, “do you have a higher super affiliate commission rate?”

If not, then ask the vendor to provide you with a higher commission rate. If you’re making a lot of money for the marketer, he probably won’t refuse.

Tip #48: Ask the vendor for a unique landing page.

One way to increase sales is by personalizing sales material as much as possible.

And while you can’t greet your subscribers personally by name on a vendor’s sales page, you CAN ask the vendor for a unique landing page that offers something a little different than the standard page.

Example: Your custom landing page might greet your subscribers like this, “Special Offer for [Your Name]’s Subscribers and Friends.”

In addition, your custom landing page can include some of the features you’ll learn about in tips #49 and #50.

Extra Tip: As usual, it helps if you’ve already demonstrated to a particular vendor that you can produce sales.

Once you’ve done that, the vendor will be more accommodating to your requests. This applies to the next two tips as well.

Tip #49: Secure exclusive discounts for your customers.

As mentioned before, your prospects like to get a good deal. And one way to get them a good deal while making you look like a hero is to secure an exclusive (perhaps limited-time) discount through the vendor.

If you haven’t yet made any sales for this particular vendor (and you don’t have a reputation in the niche), then you may suggest a commission split.

Example: The vendor can create a special link on a $100 product that gives you a $25 commission and gives your customers a $25 discount.

This is no hardship on the vendor, since he still gets his 50% commission. (However, some vendors don’t want to sell the product below a certain price, so they may refuse.)

Tip #50: Ask the vendor for exclusive bonuses for your customers.

Earlier you found out that you can beat your competitors by “adding value” to an offer.

However, once you’ve proven that you can produce sales for a vendor, he or she might be willing to add an exclusive bonus package for anyone who orders through your affiliate link.

Let’s suppose you’re selling a copywriting ebook. Your vendor may be willing to offer access to a private copywriting forum to anyone ordering through your link.

Tip #51: Disguise your affiliate link.

Sometimes customers are afraid to click on affiliate links, perhaps because they think they can get a better deal using a direct link, or perhaps because they just don’t like the idea of someone making money off their purchase.

So when they see a link like vendorspage.com/affiliatelink.html, they’ll cut off the last part of the URL to bypass your affiliate link.

End result: Lost commission.

If you’re working in a market such as the “online marketing” field, then you’ll have savvy marketers who’d rather pocket the commissions themselves rather than let you have it.

So when they see an affiliate link, they just insert their affiliate ID instead and swipe your commission.

There are plenty of ways for you to disguise your link (such as modifying your .htaccess file or doing a javascript or PHP redirect).

The easiest way, however, is to do a simple HTML redirect. This is where you redirect a domain or a page on a domain – such as yourdomain.com/recommends – to your affiliate link.

Tip #52: Write your own sales page.

Sometimes you’ll encounter a great product but the sales page doesn’t convert. And even you’re pre-selling strategy can’t quite overcome a really horrendous sales page.

The solution? Write your own high-response sales page.

Now, there are two ways to do this. First, if you’re promoting a vendor who’s willing to work with you, then you may be able to ask him to upload the new sales page on your unique landing page.

The other way to do it – which gives you more control – is to write your own sales page and then link directly to the vendor’s order form (ask for permission first).

You can’t do this with all payment processors. However, if you’re able to do it, then use this method because it allows you to track, test and tweak your sales copy.

Extra Tip: However, take note – if your sales page converts well, the vendor is likely to ask you if he can use the copy. Be prepared for this request.

You may consider charging him for the copy. Or you may deny him the request so that you can reuse the copy on a similar product. Your copy, your choice.

Tip #53: Automate as much as you can.

Tools aren’t magic bullets that turn a slumping affiliate business into a cash cow. But once you have the basics in place, a few good automation tools can free up your time so you can focus on other income-generating tasks.

To that end, you should automate as much as you can.

Examples:

• Instead of delivering bonuses manually, set up an automatic system (even an autoresponder). Or ask the vendor to create a unique landing page and download page which include your bonuses.

• You can create a yearlong (52 message) autoresponder series (evergreen) to automate your newsletter. That way you don’t have to write newsletters. Instead, you can focus on building the list.

Tip #54: Develop large networks.

Social media sites are all the rage right now, so you should take advantage of them. But don’t just limit yourself to finding prospects on these sites.

Indeed, your time may be better spent finding JV partners and cultivating relationships with them.

If you haven’t yet started networking, you can get started on Twitter.com, Facebook.com, MySpace.com, and LinkedIn.com.

Be sure to also look for niche specific groups on Ning.com (or start your own).

Tip #55: Seek out two-tier affiliate programs.

This report has mainly focused on tips and tricks to boost your affiliate income by making more sales and getting bigger commissions.

But you can also boost your income – without making any extra sales – simply by joining two-tier affiliate programs.

Here’s how it works: You refer another affiliate to the program. Every time your referred affiliate makes a sale, you get a small commission too.

Extra Tip: Choose two-tier programs with relatively small second level commissions. That way, affiliates focus on selling products (rather than recruiting one another).

Tip #56: Become a JV / affiliate broker.

If you know a few other affiliates in your niche, then you can use two-tier programs to pick up a little extra coin.

But if you’ve developed relationships with numerous marketers in your niche, then you may consider becoming a JV or affiliate broker.

Here’s how it works…

A marketer (often one who’s relatively new to the niche) is about to launch a new product and needs new affiliates or JV partners. Since he doesn’t yet know many marketers, he has a hard time building his sales team.

That’s where you come in as a broker. You introduce the new marketer to the niche’s top affiliates. In exchange, you get a small cut of the profits that these affiliates make.

It essentially works like a two-tier affiliate program… except that you’re the ONLY affiliate sitting at the top!

Quick Recap

You just found out how to use unique landing pages, exclusive bonuses and other tricks to boost your affiliate income.

Read on to find out which simple procedure can give you an almost instant pay raise…

Affiliate Program Promotion & Recruitment Checklist

So you’ve got your affiliate program set up. Now’s the time to start promoting your program and recruiting new affiliates

Promotion Ideas

1. Publish Attractive Conversion Rates:

If you have a great conversion rate through affiliate traffic, make sure to publish it. If affiliates know your product converts readily, they will be more likely to promote your product.

2. Publish Attractive Earnings Per Click Info:

For example, If your average affiliate earns $2.23 per click share this valuable information.

3. Publish Attractive Average Earnings Per Sale Info:

If your affiliates earn a pretty decent average commission on each sale (for example, if your average sale is $120 per sale and your affiliate gets $60 for each one), that is valuable information for your potential affiliate.

4. Offer Performance-Based Incentives:

Offer increased commissions for affiliates who perform according to specific standards.

5. Offer Training:

If there are plenty of popular sites in your niche, but many of the site owners aren’t quite sure how to market affiliate products, offer them special group training so they can start earning from their websites.

6. Payment Frequency:

If you pay your affiliates more frequently, it can be an attractive option. Monthly payment is standard, but consider bi-weekly or weekly.

7. Be Available:

Make sure it’s clear to affiliates there is always someone to contact when they need help.

8. Offer Custom Promotions:

Banners and ads are not a one-size-fits-all thing. Make sure your affiliates know they can contact you and get help for customized promotions.

Recruitment Tips

1. Put a Link in Your Site Navigation:

Make sure there is a link to your affiliate program on every page of your website.

Affiliate program etiquette suggests the link is subtle and is placed inconspicuously (on the bottom of the page, for example).

You don’t want your affiliates to send traffic to your site and have their referrals presented with a huge promotion to join your affiliate program.

You want to make sure that their referrals are focused on buying the product, so your affiliate can earn the commission.

2. Invite Your Customers:

Some software programs automatically sign your customers up to your affiliate program.

If this process isn’t automated, always invite your customers to your program.

After all, it’s easy to recommend a product they have already tried and like. 

3. Connect with Site Owners Targeting Your Market:

Whether it’s on Twitter, Facebook, face-to-face or on a forum, get to know sites in your niche.

The more people you know, the easier it is to get those people on board with your program.

4. Pay-Per-Click and Advertising:

Test out advertising options and track where your affiliates are coming from. For pay-per-click advertising, target keyword phrases like “[your niche or product] affiliate program”.

5. Contact Potential Affiliates Directly:

Sometimes the personal touch is what’s needed. You can email potential affiliates, but phoning or even snail mail might produce better results.

Find Potential Affiliates by:

a. Find sites that rank well for important keywords in Google

b. Look for site that have a high ranking at Alexa.com, but discount those who don’t as the Alexa numbers aren’t perfectly reliable.

c. Find sites that sell advertising as they usually publish their traffic and subscriber list numbers. That way, you can find ones with good traffic and nice-sized lists.

Tips for First Contact:

a. Get to know the potential affiliate’s website.

Understand who their audience is and try to discern what would attract the affiliate the most (for example: high commissions, good conversion, the assurance of a good product and customer service, etc.).

b. Offer a complimentary product/sample, etc.

Assure your potential affiliate that you have a good product, by allowing them to try it first.

c. Make suggestions on promotions that you think would be most effective for your potential affiliate.

Go the extra mile to show you’ve done your homework and have good ideas for the site owner to earn some commissions.

d. Know your numbers.

Make sure you know your conversion rates, average commission per sale and other metrics as they may ask.

This is yet another way of earning some extra bucks on the side, especially if you have a website that contains informational or entertaining videos that people want to view.

You can put up a requirement of filling up this survey form by the viewer before the video actually starts playing.

The survey forms are basically provided by affiliate marketing websites and they pay you commission every time your customer completes the form before watching the video.

This is done by the CPA lead program and you can put Gateway or protection in front of any video or content that you want.

Mechanism of Gateway Content

You can add gateway to your website or blogs very easily.

Affiliate Program Creation Checklist

Starting a new affiliate program can seem overwhelming. This checklist helps ensure you cover everything to get your affiliate program started out on the right foot.

Choosing Your Software

Choosing the right software program for your affiliate program isn’t a decision to be taken lightly.

Here are some things you might consider when making your decision.

1. Trial / Demo:

Is there a free trial or demo you can try, so you can see the program in action and be sure it’s right for you?

2. Software or Network:

You can choose software to run your program or you can join an affiliate network.

An affiliate network provides you with a variety of tools, usually pays your affiliates on your behalf and allows you to be advertised in their network site.

It’s a slightly more hands-free option and may give your product added exposure, but it tends to the most expensive.

3. Web-Based Service or Software You Purchase:

If you decide to go with the software option, rather than an affiliate network, you have an additional decision to make.

There are many web-based services that charge you a monthly fee to use their service or you can purchase software you install on your server for a one-time fee.

A web-based service offers the benefit of ongoing updates and support, but tends to be the most expensive option between the two in the long run.

4. Cost:

Obviously, cost is always a consideration. While low-cost may be the right answer, don’t make your decision based on price only.

This is software you are going to be working with for a very long time.

5. Compatibility:

If you already have a shopping cart or other software you need compatibility with, make sure you confirm that first.

6. Multiple Online Stores Option:

If you run more than one business or have a reason to need more than one affiliate program, make sure your software supports this.

7. Tiered Structure:

Do you want to offer commissions on more than one level?

8. Per Product Commissions:

This feature allows you to set different commission amounts or percentages on a product to product basis.

9. Custom Commissions Per Affiliate:

Want to reward affiliates or give high-profile affiliates a boosted commission rate? This feature will make sure you can do that.

10. Tracking Links:

If you want affiliates to be able to track their specific promotions and ads, this feature is a must.

11. PayPal Mass Payment:

This feature allows you to pay all your affiliates instantly through PayPal and your affiliates won’t be charged any receiving fees.

 Setting up Your Program

1. Follow the Set up Process Completely:

Instructions will vary depending upon the software program you choose, but make sure you go through the entire set up, checking all the available customization options and more.

 You will need to decide things like:

Commission ratesHow affiliates will be paidWhen they will be paidWill it be an open program or by invitation only?Will applications need approval?

2. Customize Emails:

Automated emails sent out by affiliate programs (welcome email, sales notification, payout information) are built in to many affiliate programs.

The problem is they’re often dull, may contain grammatical errors (if you’re using foreign-developed software) and just don’t inspire the affiliate to take action.

Make sure you go through these templates and customize them for best results.

3. Create Your Sign Up Page:

Most affiliate programs have a sign up form, but you need to make sure you create customized information that shares the details and great benefits of joining your program.

Include information like conversion rates, commissions per sale, when and how affiliates are paid, etc.

4. Create Your Thank You Page:

When an affiliate signs up, customize the thank you page if this feature is available. Make sure the affiliate know where to find links, has ideas for promotions and where they can ask questions.

5. Create or Add to Your Affiliate Tools Center:

Add things like text links, images, email links, Twitter posts, special reports, videos and more.
