Top 3 Ways To Boost Your Affiliate Commissions Overnight

The world of affiliate marketing does not require having your own website, dealing with customers, refunds, product development or maintenance. It is one of the easiest ways of launching an online business and earning  profits. Assuming you are already into an affiliate program, the next step would be to double, or even triple, your commissions, but how do you do that?

Here are some powerful tips on how to boost your affiliate program commissions overnight.

1. Know the best program and products to promote. Obviously, you  want to promote a program that will enable you to achieve the greatest profits in the shortest possible time. There are several factors to consider when selecting such a program. Choose the ones that have a generous commission structure, have products that fit in with your target audience, and has a solid track record of paying their affiliates on time. There are thousands of affiliate programs online which means you can afford to be selective. After all, you don't want to risk losing your advertising dollars.

Write free reports or short e-Books to distribute from your site. Remember that you are competing with other affiliates who are promoting the same program. If you start writing short reports related to the product you are promoting, you will be able to distinguish yourself from the other affiliates. Make sure you provide some valuable information for free, and if possible, add some recommendations about the products. With e-Books, you gain credibility and customers will be enticed to try out what you are offering.

2. Collect and save the email addresses of those who download your free e-Books. It is a known fact that people do not make a purchase on the first solicitation. You may want to send out your message more than six times to make a sale, which is why you should collect the contact information of those who downloaded your reports and e-Books. This way you can make follow-ups for these contacts and hopefully provide enough curiosity to purchase your products.

Get the contact information of a prospect before sending them to the vendor’s website. Keep in mind that you are providing free advertisement for the product owners. You get paid only when you make a sale. If you send prospects directly to the vendors, chances are they would be lost to you forever, but when you get their names, you can send other marketing messages to them and hopefully earn an ongoing commission instead of a one-time sale only.

Publish an online newsletter or e-Zine. It is always best to recommend a product to someone you know than to sell to a stranger. This is the purpose behind publishing your own newsletter. This allows you to develop a relationship based on trust with your subscribers.

This strategy is a delicate balance between providing useful information and a sales pitch. If you continue to write informative editorials you will be able to build a sense of reciprocity in your readers that may lead them to support you by buying your products.

3. Ask for higher than normal commission from merchants.
If you are already successful with a particular promotion, you should try and approach the merchant and negotiate a percentage commission for your sales. If the merchant is smart, he or she will likely grant your request rather than lose a valuable asset. Keep in mind that you are a zero-risk investment to your merchant; so do not be shy about requesting a larger commission. Just try to be reasonable about it.

Write strong Pay Per Click ads. PPC search engine is the most effective means of advertising online. As an affiliate, you can make a small income just by managing PPC campaigns such as Google AdWords and Overture. Then monitor them to see which ads are more effective and which ones to dispose of.
Try out these strategies and see the difference it can make to your commission checks.
