Affiliate Tips and Tricks

Affiliate Tips and Tricks OK, so you've set up an account with a reputable affiliate manager and you want to know how to increase sales and make more money with Clickbank. There are a few important things to keep in mind when trying to determine this. Each product is listed in the directory by ranks. The product that is in the top position is the number one selling product for their category. Obviously, if you are selling a product, you will want that top position. That means affiliates are selling for you, and you don't have to do a thing. You can sit back and let your affiliates do all the work. However, Clickbank is slightly mysterious in trying to explain how to raise your ranking (possibly on purpose) so here are a few tricks and tips to bring up your rank on Clickbank. 1. Pay your affiliates well. Guess what? You can make a lot more money with other affiliates spending their time marketing your site. Pay them well - usually 40 to 60 percent of each sale. 2. Include easy to use marketing tools from The Traffic Toolchest: articles, email signatures, full color banners, auto responder messages, etc. 3. Make sure you are marketing to the list of people who bought anything from you. Don't over sell them, but make sure they are receiving monthly emails about RELATED products that might interest them. 4. Keep in touch with your affiliates. Create an opt-in page on your affiliate page so you can keep in touch with them through newsletters or emails. 5. Sales Contests! Give your highest selling affiliate a gift prize. Word will get passed around and more and more affiliates will sign up to sell your product. My marketing friends are always running testimonial contests. If you send us a testimonial, then you'll have a chance to win big prize. This is a great way to get testimonials. Remember to treat everyone with respect. I know many people who were auto mechanics yesterday, but today, they are internet marketers. If you treated them right, they might want to sell your product on their page. Do whatever it takes to help someone out because they may be sending money your way. That's the bottom line: We're here to provide a quality product or service that equals money in BOTH of our pockets.
