Affiliate Marketing: How To Improve Sales

By Joseph Stan


Over the past few years affiliate marketing has changed a lot, mainly because right now there's more competition and sometimes it's a little harder to make money especially if you are brand new to the industry. Hopefully the tips in this article will help you achieve better results in your affiliate marketing ventures.

There are thousands of affiliate products and programs out there, in my opinion if you really want to make the big money you need to go for affiliate programs that pay recurring commissions. There are not a lot of them but products like webhosting, membership sites and software are a few examples that actually can pay recurring commissions. The benefit is that you make the sale once and you make money from that sale every month for as long as your customer pays.

Advertising affiliate offers or programs is tricky and you need to make sure you do it correctly so you don't lose visitors. For example if you are promoting an specific offer on your site make sure you don't use pop-ups. Instead you can use pop-unders because usually those will get better click-through rates, pop-ups are likely to get blocked by some browsers.

Now things can be a little different if you have your own product, if you own a product consider adding your own affiliate program. Most of the big gurus make huge amounts of money leveraging the efforts of their affiliates. A single affiliate can be responsible for thousands in sales. For example you can offer the option to your customers of becoming an affiliate after they have used your product or service.

Some affiliate marketers make the mistake to promote too many things at once. This with the goal of becoming super affiliates, but the truth is promoting too many stuff at once can be dangerous because you might lose focus. Instead try working with 2-3 programs and focus on those until you are able to make some good money. It takes time and energy to build a profitable affiliate marketing business, but if you are determined and create great content and stay focused there's no reason why you shouldn't make money.
