1. Know the Best Programs and Products to Promote.
Obviously, you would want to promote products that will enable you to achieve the greatest profits in the shortest possible time.
There are several factors to consider in selecting those products.
Choose the ones that have a generous commission structure.
Have products that fit in with your target audience, and has a solid track record of timely affiliate payouts. Promote that product for a while until you determine it is not paying good or it is paying good. If you cannot seem to increase your investments, dump that program and look for better ones.

When you find the best products, always look to write content, like free reports or short E-Books to distribute from your site.
If you start writing short report related to the product you are promoting, you will be able to distinguish yourself from the other affiliates.
In the reports, provide some valuable information for free. If possible, add some recommendations about the products. With E-Books, you get credibility. Customers will see you as an authority and they will be enticed to try the product you are promoting.

2. Use Product Recommendations To Help People Make a Purchase Decision
In affiliate marketing, there are many ways in which you can increase your earnings and keep a good relationship with your product accounts. And one really smart way is to learn to write great product recommendations.
Writing is really hard. And writing a lot can be even harder. But since, writing product recommendations can be the bread and butter of your affiliate marketing business, here are some really cool ways to write product recommendations.
If you have personally used the product and can recommend it do so with an enthusiastic product review.
Likewise, if you know some who has used the product and can give you their feedback, capture it either by video or written testimonial, that social proof can be powerful.
If you can find third party validation of the product through testimonials, use that, but be sure to source it.
Don’t be afraid to use a combination of those techniques, but be sure not over exaggerate.
In the business of creating content like ads, and headlines, those over exaggerations are seen as hyperbolic and can damage your reputation.
Sell it, but stick to the facts.
Also, don’t be afraid to talk about things you may not like about that is the fun in that is to see how you can write content that helps you help the reader overcome those objections.
Sometime something that seems bad to one person may not be so bad to someone one else. The point is to lay it out according to the facts, and offer some suggestions for overcoming the products short comings.
TIP:
Review YouTube videos with pitchmen. They can be quite fascinating and even more informative.
Remember when you bring out the weak points in a product, the potential buyer will be grateful because it may be something they had not considered, but should, and sometimes it won’t matter enough to make a difference, but since you mentioned it, they trust you more.
So as the pitchman for an affiliate product, don’t hesitate to cover your basis, and you become the expert your buyer needs.
Remember this simple equation: Price resistance diminishes in direct proportion to trust.
If your visitors feel and believe that you are an expert in your niche, they are more inclined to make that purchase.
On the other hand, if as an affiliate of a product, your content lacks confidence in tone and enthusiasm, the promotion will be weak.
How do you establish this aura of expertise? By offering unique and new solutions they would not get anywhere else. Show social proof that what you are promoting works as promised.
And remember; prospects are not stupid. They are actually turning to experts and may already know the things that you know. If you back up your claims with hard facts and data, they will gladly pay for the product, and better yet, go through your promotion to get it.
But if you don’t use your time with them to convince them, then they are smart enough to try and look at your competitors and what they offer.
One way to exude that aura of confidence is to give out promotional freebies.
People are already familiar with the concept of being offered freebies to try products, so dig deep to see what you can come up with that will be valuable to your target audience.
The truth is though, very few affiliates use this strategy to promote affiliate products. The ones that do however, do so with success. The key is to offer a relatable, complimentary freebie.
Take a look at your other affiliate products to see what can be coupled together, or what other things you have that you can share with your audience while you have their attention.
One smart way to offer complimentary products or services is to…
3. Offer a FREE eBook and collect and save the email addresses of those who download your free E-Books.
The key is once they sign up for your totally relatable freebie, redirect them to the product offer page. This page is known as a bridge page. Most are familiar with the typical squeeze page, sales page, checkout page, thank you page, and now with affiliate marketing, the bridge page.
With affiliate marketing, the bridge page is that gateway page from your content or offer to the affiliate product with the main goal of you collecting the target audiences contact information while also providing your affiliate link within the eBook.
In this way, you can continue to market to them.
On that note, it is a good idea to mention that you should promote as an affiliate similar products in similar industries. This is one way to create a steady stream of good quality content, but it is also a great way to have some possible freebies collected along the way.
It is a known fact that people do not make a purchase on the first offer. You may want to or need to send at least 7 messages via an autoresponder email series to make a sale. That is 7x as a touch point, that is the sweet spot.
Within each of those touch points, you can always list the features, benefits, and results the product provides as well as any deals and who the product is for. For example kids, adults, dogs or people with particular problems, who ever is in that target audience.
With the persons contact information, you can continue to connect with the target audience and provide them with valuable content on their journey to a purchase.
Remember, you are collecting the contact information of a prospect before sending them to the vendor’s website. Keep in mind these online reviews is free advertisement and endorsement for the product owners and they can almost serve as a buying guide for potential customers.
Because you get paid only when you make a sale.
If you send prospects directly to the vendors website before collecting any contact information, chances are that contact would be lost to you forever. Meaning no more future contact touch points, therefore no additional opportunities to sell them on the features, benefits and results of this affiliate offer, let alone any other content offers.
But when you get their names, you can always send other marketing messages to them to be able to earn an ongoing commission instead just a potential one-time sale.
Additionally, as an affiliate marketer, your websites, posts, ebook and other online content is going to be a constant product review for that vendor, until you take down the site, so publish content to your online platforms with the expressed intent of collecting contact information and driving that traffic to your affiliate offers.
The idea of having product reviews live in your online content is your delicate way of balancing good, useful information with a little bit of sale-sy content. So, you can make the sale without being too pushy.
Affiliate marketing is one great way to make money online without owning your own product, but like with owning your own product, creating content offers is still the key to success.
Writing product reviews is an art as well as a science and can have a little bit of a learning curve. Need a shortcut? Get the product review template in this package.
Note: If you do have a product of your own, you could even consider paying to have a product review done for you to promote your own products.
