How To Use Recommendations On Your Site To Promote Affiliate
Programs
When done properly, writing your own personal recommendations
will increase your commissions as well as the sign-ups you get
when promoting two-tier affiliate programs.
To help you get started, I've supplied the following tips that
will make your recommendations work for you:
1. Establish trust between you and your visitors.
Gaining the trust of your visitors is the key to increasing your
commissions by writing personal recommendations.
Your visitors must get to know you and feel that you have their
best interests at heart.
2. Publish an ezine or write your own e-mail courses that you
provide to your visitors.
Both of these marketing techniques will allow your visitors to
get to know you while also showing your visitors that your
opinion can be trusted -- that you know what you're talking
about.
In addition, make your site a resource to your visitors. Supply
lots of information to your visitors such as your own articles,
ebooks, or tutorials that relate to the affiliate programs you
want to promote.
3. When posting your articles on your site, have a recommended
further reading section after your articles that links to
affiliate programs that offer products related to what you talk
about in your articles.
4. Recommend only products that you personally use or have first
hand knowledge that they work.
Once you've gained the trust of your visitors don't lose it by
recommending products that you are not a 100% sure deliver on
what they promise.
5. Use your own words when recommending the product or products
of an affiliate program.
Many affiliate programs will provide you with prewritten
recommendations that you can use on your site which can be good
to get ideas from.
When it comes to writing your own recommendation though it is
much better to use your own words.
Tell your visitors how that product has worked for you and how
that product can benefit them.
Remember that because you personally use the product you are
promoting, you have a great advantage in knowing exactly what
benefits that product provides.
6. If you use a variety of products that you have found useful,
provide a recommended links or recommended resources section on
your website where you recommend different products.
7. Increase your sign-ups when promoting two-tier affiliate
programs by recommending the opportunity.
You can do this by creating a top rated affiliate programs page,
or recommended affiliate programs page.
When doing this, recommend the product in addition to the
opportunity. Let your visitors know that the product is worth
promoting and delivers what it says it does.
