One of the hottest
ways to sell affiliate products is using Google
AdWords. Follow these tips and strategies to maximize your earning
potential.
1. Seek out affiliate products that generate fifteen dollars or
more in commission. Anything in the twenty-dollar range works well.
Paying for clicks can add up quickly and when you do make a sell,
it should be profitable.
2. The vendor must present a high quality website with first-rate
graphics. If the site appears to be unprofessional, any potential
buyer will loose confidence and leave before the sell is made.
3. Make it a requirement that the vendor website only displays one
product or service on the referral page. Nothing kills a sell
faster than having to many sells messages.
4. The vendor needs to include outstanding sales copy. It's easy to
realize the importance of this principle; words are what turn
shoppers into buyers on the Internet.
5. When evaluating a potential affiliate program ask yourself if
this product or service is something you would feel comfortable
buying. Put yourself in the place of the buyer. If you wouldn't buy
it, why would they?
6. It's preferable if the vendor site does not obviously advertise
for the recruitment of more affiliates. An affiliate link is fine
as long as it is low key.
7. The best affiliate programs will attempt to secure the email
address of your referrals. Some prospects need to see a sales
message at least seven times before they will buy. Make sure you
still get credit for sales made during the follow up.
8. The vendor should provide testimonials. Testimonials create
confidence and trust leading your prospects to make a purchase.
9. You will recognize a profitable affiliate program because at
least one in fifty clicks creates a sell. Constantly monitor your
expense versus profit for each set of keywords.
10. Track your keywords and delete any that do not get clicked on
after two hundred impressions. The higher your click through rate,
the higher position you receive in relation to your competitors.
