Affiliate Money - How to "Keep" them Coming to you
Rereading my previous article "Affiliate Money - How to make them coming to
you" in which I discuss some of the rudimental options on
creating a valid home based business using nothing but Affiliate
Programs, I have asked myself a question. A question
so simple and yet so important that I knew - answer this one
right and I'm set for life! A question, which everyone who
is looking for proven income opportunities in Affiliate Programs
should ask himself.
I have pounded out some thoughts and some basics that I know
will work well as they work for me day after day. Just please
remember these are only basics as I'm not a self-proclaimed
"guru" but a simple man who managed to learn and implement the
techniques discussed bellow.
Making an initial sale is great and exciting and a feeling
familiar to anyone involved into Affiliate Programs marketing.
But as every successful affiliate knows - it's a lot easier to
sell to a person who already bought from you or based on your
advice and marketing efforts necessary for that sale are a lot
less. So how do you repeat a sale?
Give away free stuff. Be it an ebook or a report but give
it away for free. The key here is to find a material that allows
you to rebrand links inside that ebook or report with your own
affiliate links. Many programs provide you with such materials
and they do the wanders. Even if person didn't buy from you this
time, they WILL download a free ebook and if it answers their
questions or provide them with information they were looking
for, they will click on YOUR affiliate link. Caching! Do you
hear cash register ringing? I do.
Give away more free stuff! But now use a slightly
different technique - auto responders. It's an income maker on
autopilot! And all you have to do is give something away and
setup auto responder messages. Find an ebook with resale rights
that give you an option to give away to members or through
subscriptions. A good place to look for these type of materials
are a manual click traffic exchanges, such as TrafficSwarm, as
people give away a lots of free stuff there for simple
newsletter signup. Just get one of the free auto responders.
Much better option is to use auto responder that comes with your
hosting account. That way you will not have to deal with third
party advertisement. Make sure that your emails are precise to
the point and something that interest your readers. Never used
auto responder or don't know how to write a winning email? It's
not a problem. There is a wealth of ebooks written on the
subject and better once have the sample e-mail where all you
have to do is customize them to fit your needs
Using auto responders is a bliss when done right. I do recommend
couple things if you decide to utilize them:
Always use a subscription model where users have to confirm
their intention to subscribe. Don't try to force people into
your subscription! This will eliminate possibility of invalid
e-mail addresses and prevent you from been reported as a spammer
- a sure kill to your business.
Double-check your e-mails for possibility of been filtered as
spam, explain people to setup white listing options for your
e-mails. Use a freely available Internet tools to check your
e-mails for spam filtering, before you send them. After all it's
your money making tool, so make an extra effort.
The techniques above are extremely simple and yet overlooked by
great many people or not utilized to the full extent. Hard to
imagine any good reasons why. Successfully implementing them
will not just assist you but put your efforts into overdrive.
And really it's that important. Residual income and new income
from previously sold customers is the ultimate goal of any
affiliate marketer and if it's not your goal yet - make it!
