Supporting affiliates is a big part of my job. I want my affiliates to be successful so that I can be successful too. Consider the following advice when evaluating your traffic and resulting sales. Doing so is sure to help increase your profits.
Don’t Muddy the Waters
You may represent more than one affiliate. And, if so, the temptation to include their products together on one site can be great. Resist this temptation and, instead, create a site that works well with each of your affiliate’s products.
Creating one site with a hodge-podge of products will not only turn off visitors but also discourage visitors from buying any of your products. A clean site with carefully chosen quality products instills confidence in visitors that they can trust the offerings.
If a strong affiliate has more than one product, it can be helpful to group those products together. For example, my e-book “How an Overworked Traveling Soggy Sandwich Eating Dental Hygienist Made $11,212.00 Per Month on eBay” and my at-home course are compatible products. Thus, selling them off of the same web site is ideal because these two products are complementary and work well together.
Take Advantage of Affiliate Support
It is also important to work with companies who are committed to, and support, their affiliates. Pre-built ads, emails, and articles are great tools when they are prepared in a professional manner. Select programs that make these marketing tools available to the affiliates promoting their products. For example, in addition to pre-built banner and text ads, I continually update my Affiliate Resources page to include helpful news and information about selling on the Web.
Stay on top of specials that you may be able to pass on to your potential buyers. And always ensure that you stay information about your product and have up-to-date information.
Work With Affiliates Who Stand by Their Product
Watch for companies that stand by their products and their affiliates and be wary of those that don’t. Some companies (such as my own) offer money-back guarantees. This not only demonstrates my belief in my product but also increases buyer confidence. If the primary seller stands by their product, it is a sign that you can stand by it as well. Not all affiliate programs offer full guarantees and that’s okay. The important point is that you need some commitment that the product you are selling is of sufficient quality.
A Final Note: Direct Visitors to the Right Page
With all of your efforts, if visitors don’t end up at the right spot, you’ll lose the sale. Always make sure that your click-through link brings visitors not to the affiliate’s home page but to the correct page where they may buy the product.
Remember, you don’t want to make visitors do too much work or you’ll risk losing them!
