Do you have business questions that are stopping you from really progressing within your market? I know as my business grew I came across road blocks, big and small, that sometimes would put me behind schedule or just stump me. In this article I will answer two of those questions on affiliate marketing.
First question:
How should you promote someone else's product as one of their affiliates?
There are a variety of methods that you can use to promote someone else's product as an affiliate. Doing a solo email campaign can be effective. Two very effective ways is also using teleseminars and videos. When you really think about it, the list is endless on just how you could actually promote.
You want to find the method that will have the best impact or response from your list. Personally, I like to do use teleseminars because it enables people to have interaction and allows you to really get across the value of the product you are promoting. Using video can allow you to have this option to and people respond very well to videos because they feel more intimate than an email. Videos are something I use for almost every promotion I do.
Another thing you might want to think about is sticking to promoting products that you have bought, used or received value from yourself. I make sure I do this only because that is the only way I would be able to give my evaluation and honest opinion of the product.
If I am going to promote a product that I haven't even seen or used, how could I really give a recommendation for it? You'll find that it will sometimes put you in an awkward situation if you don't know anything about the product but are promoting it. This helps too when it comes to the promotion because it is much easier and more convincing to say, "Hey, I've used this product. Look at what it did for my business, I really think it will help you this way." You stand out more as an affiliate and create a much stronger pitch then just saying, "Hey, saw this new product, I think you should go get it."
Video, teleseminar and email campaigns are three ways that you could promote someone else's product as an affiliate, but use your creativity and think about your market to know what may work better.
Here is the second question:
When someone has an attractive list for what you are trying to sell, what would be a good percentage to offer that person?
This would vary and depend on your situation. Naturally, the more you are able to offer your affiliates and JV partners, the more it will work as an incentive to drive them to promote more. You have to remember to look at your situation though and how much you can afford to give away. Look at the product cost, time cost and things of that nature to figure it out and it may not be huge amounts every time.
Take some time, really think about how much you can afford to give away and try to maximize this as much as possible because affiliate and JV partners will be more interested the bigger the commission.
