How To Easily Explode Your Affiliate Commissions By Using Your Own Products
by Ewen Chia
What's a surefire formula you can use again and again to induce more profits?
It's simple, create your own unique products!
The cat's out of the bag, but it's nothing secretive. Most if not all successful internet marketers have their own products.
Start developing your own products now if you have not, it's easy once you START.
And frankly, it doesn't matter whether you're selling or giving it away. The important thing's to make it so desirable that people literally CRAVE for it.
Besides generating credibility and branding, having your own product is a no-brainer way to increase YOUR affiliate earnings EASILY.
Here're 3 easy methods on how you can use your own products as tools to explode your affiliate commissions!
1. Irresistible Bribe
This works wonders IF you've got a paying product that appeals strongly to your target market.
Using this method, it's easy to convert potential customers (who have not decided) into paying customers via autoresponder follow-up or an exit pop-up.
What you do is offer an "irresistible bribe" to these people.
Offer them a simple way to get your product FREE, simply by buying another related product you're promoting!
This is a superb deal for your customer, and everyone wins.
Notice that in effect, your product becomes the "bribe" or "bonus" for your affiliate products here.
But you've got to decide if it's worth your earnings to do this.
2. Bundled Sales
Similar to the above method, except that in this instance, they get to buy your product...at a heavily discount price.
For example, let's say the customer has to fork out $37 for your product initially.
On the order page, give them an ALTERNATIVE to buy it at $17 instead...
Now this will really intrigue and interest the customer, and he or she will click for more information. Here's where you push your affiliate product.
Again, it's a winning solution for your customer if what you're promoting is a quality product, and he or she will recognize it as such.
Of course, as mentioned you've got to work your sums out properly.
3. Backend Sales
Here's why having your own free or paid product is so important.
You get to promote affiliate programs on the backend effectively.
There are 2 ways to go about this...
=> "Download Page" method
Let prospects download your free product from a special 'download page' after you've captured their email addresses for follow-up.
Promote relevant affiliate products on this 'download page', and through the follow-up emails.
It'll be much more effective if you can negotiate some genuine discounts for them here.
=> "Cloaking" method
Many internet marketers are using this technique successfully.
Cloaked in content and education, your ebook becomes an affiliate marketing machine. It's where you can actively PRESELL affiliate programs.
Remember that by having downloaded your product in the first place, the prospect has already "opened" his or her mind to you.
You can also enhance your results exponentially by tagging powerful viral marketing features to your products. This can be in the form of resell rights, giveaway rights or rebranding rights.
I hope you got some good ideas out of this to make some serious cash with your affiliate programs.
The formula here entails creation of your own products, and if you truly want to be more successful online, you'll not go wrong doing this. The truth is, it's what you NEED to do.
An 'instant' way of creating products without effort is by using public domain information. You'll find Yanik Silver's secrets to profiting with public domain quickly very rewarding :
