12 Awesome Ways To increase Your Affiliate Commissions!




  1. Participate in web discussion boards and online forums. When I first joined
    an affiliate program, I read as much information as possible in the discussion
    boards http://www.sfidboard.com.
    This is a great discussion board to lurk in and understand the affiliate program and
    how things work.



    Once you get enough confidence to post your own comments, try a forum more
    like Home Business
    Forum
    . This forum lets you include a link to your web site and any personal
    signature you choose, but is monitored. I included my web site link under my
    comment so that other could click on the link if they chose. Best part was that the
    search engine spiders took notice too.



  2. Advertise your link in your signature file with every email you write. Use an
    attention-grabbing headline for them to visit your affiliate site. Also make sure your
    signature file doesn't get too big.



    Your link should look something like this:

  3. Your link should look like this http://www.internet-business-success.biz/free.html.
    By redirecting your affiliate number and making your address be
    part of your web site, you will not loose out on any affiliate commissions.



  4. Create unique affiliate program ads and your own banners if possible. If
    every other affiliate is using the same ad you are using, many web visitors may leave
    your web site quicker than you think. Give yourself an edge over your competition,
    by making an ad that makes your website stand out from the others.

  5. Use a personal testimonial ad. You should only use this if you've actually
    bought the product or service. Tell people what kind of results and benefits you've
    received using the product. This can be VERY powerful.



  6. Trade links with other webmasters who are promoting the same types of
    products you are promoting. You want to attract the same type of people that would
    be interested in buying the product you're reselling.



  7. Some advantages might include more traffic for you and the other
    webmasters.
    Once your website gets ranked by Google,
    you will find more and more webmasters requesting link exchanges to your website.



  8. .Create a newsletter or an electronic magazine (e-zine) advertising your
    website. Use your newsletter to advertise the affiliate programs you've joined. Or
    offer a free e-book in your newsletter with the advertisement and links of your
    affiliate web site. The free e-book should draw your target audience to down-load it
    instantly. You can also submit your newsletter to directories and start a traffic virus
    getting people to visit your website.



  9. Offer free online services, utilities or useful website links from your web
    site. They could be search engine submissions, language translations, web site tune
    ups. Make sure that the service or utility that you are offering them is something
    you would personally use and is of an interest to your website. There, make sure to
    add as many of your affiliate links as possible so that people can see them and click
    on them.

  10. Start your own affiliate program directory. If you have joined more than
    one affiliate program, list them all in a directory format on your web site. Advertise
    your free affiliate program directory to others so that they will want to be part of
    your directory as well.



  11. Write articles and submit them to websites that do accept them is another
    great way to drive more traffic and increase your affiliate commissions. The MOST
    important thing to do is to add a
