Improving Your Affiliate Sales With These Tips

By Joseph Stan


Affiliate marketing has been around for a while and even though many people try to make it work over 90% of those who try it never make any money. Now there's a lot of competition in the affiliate marketing industry, especially in the search engines for the most profitable niches. The purpose of this article is to show you a few tips to help you increase your affiliate earnings.

As you know there are probably thousands of affiliate programs on the internet, but the big money comes from an specific type of affiliate programs. The best programs are those that pay recurring affiliate commissions, which means you can make money each month for recurring sales. You generate the sale once and you make money each month for the same sale. An example of programs that pay recurring commissions are webhosting programs, membership sites or software programs.

If you plan on advertising your affiliate product on your own site make sure you are not using pop-up ads. Not only are they really annoying but most browsers automatically block pop-ups. A good alternative might be pop-unders which are most likely to get seen and you won't be pushing a product in front of your visitors face.

Now things can be a little different if you have your own product, if you own a product consider adding your own affiliate program. Most of the big gurus make huge amounts of money leveraging the efforts of their affiliates. A single affiliate can be responsible for thousands in sales. For example you can offer the option to your customers of becoming an affiliate after they have used your product or service.

Some affiliate marketers make the mistake to promote too many things at once. This with the goal of becoming super affiliates, but the truth is promoting too many stuff at once can be dangerous because you might lose focus. Instead try working with 2-3 programs and focus on those until you are able to make some good money. It takes time and energy to build a profitable affiliate marketing business, but if you are determined and create great content and stay focused there's no reason why you shouldn't make money.
