The only way to break out of the pack is to market and promote the affiliate product in a more intelligent and aggressive manner.
Those who are referred to as “super” affiliates, make a great deal of money selling other people’s products. That’s because they market and promote them in the same way they would their own products.
Even though there’s a sales page associated with each of the affiliate products, they create a page on their own website. The purpose of that page is to pre-sell the item. In other words, they get the prospect primed and ready to purchase prior to sending them to the owner’s sales site. They also use pay per click advertising to gain targeted prospects. They know that in order to make money, they have to spend money.
Of course, most of them have become masters of pay per click. They know exactly what works, exactly how much to bid, and exactly how to attract the right prospects. And because they’ve learned how to play the game so well, they most often generate a great deal more money than if they had simply used free advertising methods.
But pay per click and using their own website to promote products are only two of the methods they use. Others include…
·Writing product reviews and personal endorsements, recommendations, and testimonials.
·Operating niche blogs that are directly associated with the products they’re promoting.
·Writing and distributing articles that contain information that’s related to individual products (which includes their affiliate link).
·Offering a special bonus that is only available if the product is purchased through the affiliate’s own sales link.
·Giving away free tips and information, either on their website or distributed through ebooks or autoresponder messages.
·Capturing prospects names and email addresses for future contact and ongoing follow-up.
·Using their own marketing and promotional materials.
