Affiliate Marketing: How To Improve Sales

By Joseph Stan


Over the past few years affiliate marketing has changed a lot, mainly because right now there's more competition and sometimes it's a little harder to make money especially if you are brand new to the industry. Hopefully the tips in this article will help you achieve better results in your affiliate marketing ventures.

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.

Advertising affiliate offers or programs is tricky and you need to make sure you do it correctly so you don't lose visitors. For example if you are promoting an specific offer on your site make sure you don't use pop-ups. Instead you can use pop-unders because usually those will get better click-through rates, pop-ups are likely to get blocked by some browsers.

If you own your product then things might be a little different if you offer an affiliate program. Most of the big guru launches make their huge income through their affiliate sales, this means they leverage their affiliates to make huge profits. If you have a large customer base you can offer your customers the chance to become affiliates of your product. If they liked your product they will most likely promoted.

One of the biggest mistakes made by affiliate marketers is trying to promote too many things at the same time. If you spread your energy on too many ventures you might not focus on making money with one program. We suggest focusing only on 2-3 programs because you can be a little more focus on earning from 2-3 programs instead of promoting 10 different stuff. In the end you have to understand that if you want people to buy from you then you need to create great content that people will find value in.
