How to promote affiliate sales
Promoting affiliate sales is crucial not only to you but to us. Being a successful affiliate is a team effort; and we are glad you have joined our team. Whether you do affiliate sales full or part-time we are here to give you some suggestions on how to be successful.
The first thing we suggest doing is reading all the information on your account (Post Affiliate Pro account) there are some great suggestions there. The amount of sales generated (money in your pocket) depends on your dedication. How much you put in drives what you get out.
Work smarter not harder
Social Media: You do not need to be a social media junkie -however we love it if you are! Doing things as simple as tweeting, posting on forums, commenting on videos, and telling others on facebook spreads the information quickly and takes very little effort. Just make sure that you include the affiliate link at the top of your affiliate login page in order to get paid for the sale (so it gets tracked back to you).
Blogging/Owning your own site: We provide text links and banners just for this reason. We suggest starting a blog on wordpress or squidoo (both of which are free) on these sites you can post the links and banners to generate sales. This is also a great way to build your online presence and makes sure your link stays permanent. All of our banners are located under the banners tab when you log in to your account. We provide direct links and code.
Emails: The good old email list, don't annoy family and friends and please do not spam anyone. If you know someone who may be interested in our product or would do well as an affiliate don't hesitate to let them know just make sure you include your link in the email.
Youtube: Youtube is a huge marketplace of free ideas, information, and entertainment. Go to youtube and type in 35% food grade h2o2 and see how many videos you get of people telling you about the product. The other great thing is that if your video gets big youtube will make you a partner and you could get paid for your videos on top of making money off of your affiliate links.
Personal: If you are into this line of inventory chances are you know other people who are as well. Rather than let them purchase from some unknown company give them your affiliate link and then you get a cut of the pie. Chances are you know someone with a pool rather than letting them buy overpriced and dangerous chlorine and chemical products steer them this way. Not only will you have improved their pool and spa but you will also get your cut. You probably know someone else with a serious health condition that could benefit from increasing cellular oxygenation, point them to your link. Get those you know involved and not only do you know the legitimacy of the product but you also keep a portion of the sale rather than that money going to some huge marketing agency.
Advertising: We only recommend this to those experienced in affiliate sales. Advertising can be bought through youtube, google, etc. If you need pictures or anything for this let us know. However, any paid for advertising comes out of your pocket so only go this route if you are sure that you will be profitable.
