My secret affiliate weapon

By Samantha On March 12, 2009 Under Affiliate Marketing Thank you for returning to our Internet Marketing Blog. To be the first to hear about updates please subscribe.

I am not the biggest of affiliate marketers. I don’t go writing review after review or affiliate other people’s products via pay per click.

What I do though is take advantage of space that I have on my websites. If you have room at the bottom of your website why not have an affiliate marketing image jumping out ready for someone to click on. When you have a mailing list and don’t have a one time offer (OTO) to send people to why not forward it to an affiliate link.

My favourite though is the thank you page and the area below peoples download link.

You could choose anything to put on here….

I like putting a nice box on it saying “Special Bonuses for you” and sending them to a free e-book site. Then even though it is free when they come back and buy one of the upgraded products a year later you will still get the commission. Your buyer loves this and will often send you a thank you email saying how wonderful you are for pointing them in the direction of a great free gift.

Another great earning is having a review that you have written below the download link. Then when people have finished reading it the majority will visit the site and sign up. This is very good targeted traffic and the commission rate is incredibly high and works particularly well in niches.

You can put an affiliate marketing link wherever you like but the idea is the less obvious the better. People don’t want you to be touting your links in every direction. So why not send your future customers to a review instead of to the direct link you will get a lot more sales by doing it this way.

Whenever I answer questions on Yahoo I never send them direct to the link but to one of my reviews and the sales just pour in.

Just think for a moment what you could do it improve your webpages.

Thanks for reading and I hope that this blog is making the difference in showing you how to make money online and in particular in providing you with quality blogging tips. Whether you are new to internet marketing or are one of many internet marketing gurus there is always something new to learn.
