Here’s a simple -but highly effective- tip that will show you how to make more sales for an(y) affiliate program that you promote online.

You know the problem… When a new product launches, marketers all over the Net shoot out emails to their lists, hoping to make a product sale, and earn their instant commission.

Now, how can you compete with all these marketers, when trying to make people buy from your link? Well, the best way is to be different.

You will get the best result by not sending out the pre-written promo email that you get when you sign up for the affiliate program, like all the others do. Instead, try to stand out from the rest by writing in your own personal style about the product that you promote.

When possible, use the product yourself. You can ask the owner a free copy if you don’t want to buy it… since you will promote the product/program as an affiliate, most owners will agree to give you a copy in return for the free promotion that you will send them… 

Then, write an honest review about the product, tell people what they can expect to receive, how the product will be delivered (via instant download, or postal mail) and finally, how it will help them to achieve a certain task that saves them time/money.

Another way to dramatically increase your chances of getting a sale as an affiliate  is to offer some kind of incentive if someone buys the offer through YOUR referral link. Whether it’s an Ebook, a collection of special report or access to a video or audio recording.

Here’s an example that I recently set up on my website. It’s a collection of 6 niche Ebooks that I give away to people who buy a (low-priced) product via my affiliate link. I simple ask them to email me a copy of their receipt after their purchase, and then I send them their download links in a simple email.

Works every time…

Just beware… in order to make your bonus offer bring in results, it must be unique and useful, so people will really want to have it. Don’t give away some bonus that anyone can download all over the place for free. People are smart these days, and they know how to use Google ;-)

If you don’t have anything to offer, you can easily buy resell rights to a product (an Ebook, video or audio, etc) or hire a ghostwriter to create a small report. Just make sure that your bonus gift fits with the affiliate product, and you will soon see more affiliate sales landing in your inbox.
