How to Skyrocket Your Affiliate Revenue
By C.Y. Lai
As many of you know, the surest way to boost your commission is: offering your bonus. Give away free bonus to customer who bought a product through your link. This strategy has been discussed over and over again, but many affiliates are clueless on how to do it right.
When you offer a bonus, there's one very important principle that you should bear in mind: your bonus MUST add value to the product. Impress your prospects, or don't even bother. You do not want to offer a 99p report that you got from eBay, or something that everyone and his dog have. If your bonus is lousy, your reputation will ruin faster than you think.
Hopefully the following tips will give you some ideas on how to create your bonuses. I have used the strategies and watch my commissions soar. I believe yours will too.
1. Create a quick start guide: Most customers are clueless when they first bought the product you recommend. Ideally you do not want to promote something that you haven't use. As a user, you have first hand experience with the products. Create a guide that will help them to get started quickly with the product. This can be a video tutorial or PDF guide.
2. Offer your helps: Does the product require some technical skills to get it running? If so, offer your helps and service to customer who bought through your link. This strategy works well with software promotion. You can offer free installation of the software for your customers. Many vendors charge small fees for software installation. If you can offer this service, not only that you will save the customers' money, but also build solid relationship with them. Many prospects are non-techcie and will thank you for this.
In addition to service, you can also offer to coach your customers. As mentioned you should know the product better than your customers. Offer emails or phone consultation.
3. Interview the experts and record it: It is easy to do with Skype and recorders. When marketers launch their products, they want exposure. Make a friendly call to them to arrange for interviews. Before that do your survey well and ask the appropriate questions. Make sure the interview contains some useful tips, not just hypes and sales pitch. You might also want to go as far as offering a transcript of the interview.
