5 Tactics All Successful Affiliates Use Today!

There are specific tactics that successful affiliates use to make more money. I will give you the top 5 tactics they use on a daily basis.

Incorporate these into your daily schedule and it will become second nature in your business routine. You will see in a short period of time how these few tactics will increase your income substantially.

Tactic One: Capture Customers Information First!

I’m sure you know that “the money is in the list” but this step cannot be left unmentioned. The importance of getting the opt-in information first means you are now in business. It is much easier to sell to a customer on your list than a first-time customer.

If your squeeze page is persuasive enough, and your freebie is attractive, you will grow a nice size customer list.

One tip is to keep your opt-in customers organized in targeted lists. For instance, if you are selling “Internet Marketing” products, you wouldn’t want those opt-in customers to receive emails from you for “dog training” products.

Tactic Two: Only promote larger profit-per-transaction offers.

It takes the same about of your time and money to promote a high priced product than a lower priced one. There are some low priced products that have a higher conversion rate, but they are hit and miss. You still have a lot of testing to do before you find a winner. Why not put your hard earned time and money into a product that will give you a decent pay out?

Tactic Three: Look for and Promote Recurring Billing Products.

Recurring billing products (sometimes called “continuity products”) are those sales that happen automatically. The customer is charged automatically – usually a monthly basis – and the product or service is delivered as long as the customer does not cancel. Some examples of these types of products include cell phone contracts, web hosting, monthly membership websites, etc.

You persuade the customer to purchase once and you have a recurring monthly income.

Tactic Four: Negotiate a Higher Commission Percentage.

Once you have established yourself with a good conversion rate and you’ve made a lot of money for yourself and the vendor, ask for a raise.

Send an email with a proposed increase of your percentage because of you’d like to be considered a “preferred partner”. Some vendors will say no, but those who say “Yes”, you will now consentrate on their products and increase your efforts for whoever says “yes”.

Tactic Five: Join Two-Tier Affiliate Programs and Recruit Others

The typical one-tier affiliate program is that you get paid a commission for every product you sell. With a two-tier affiliate program, you get a commission for every product you sell PLUS you get paid a smaller commission for every product someone in your downline sells!

Look for two-tier affiliate programs that give a large commission on the top-tier and a 5% to 10% commission on the second-tier. You want people who are focused on selling the product not recruiting other affiliates.
