10 Ways to Increase Your Affiliate Commission

There are several ways to increase your affiliate commission and add a little extra money to your monthly revenue, here are just a few ideas for doing so.

1. Advertise and network your self on relevant forums. You can start a conversation with your target consumer without trying to sell them anything and then after you have developed a relationship with these people you can then try and sell them on to the product later.
2. Create a free ebook as an incentive and drive traffic to this ebook with a download link and your affiliate link within the ebook. If you didn’t want to do it this way you could always add the ebook as a part of an incentive scheme to get people to subscribe to your newsletter this way you can contact them in the future about other related products. You can also submit the ebook to some ebook directories to drive more targeted traffic and increase opt ins and sales.
3. Write affiliate program adverts, check out other competition’s adverts and ask your self are your adverts better than theres? If not then re-do your adverts until they are better.
4. Talking about adverts again, to make your adverts stand out why not try adding a personal endorsement. For example a health product may mention that it has been listed or reviewed by Web MD. Make sure you are telling the truth though.
5. Advertise the product you are selling in your forum signatures on relevant forums. Use an attention grabbing headline to ensure internet surfers catch on to your signature and that will also increase your conversion rates.
6. You could also try joining a web ring to help network and socialise with potential customers. This should attract the type of people willing to purchase your product.
7. Participate on web discussion boards. Post comments in reply to other peoples questions, post your own questions and just generally communicate with others. With some discussion boards you are also able to add a link, if so add your affiliate link below your reply.
8. Create a free ezine advert. Use your ezine to advertise your affiliate product then submit this ezine to ezine directories to drive targeted traffic to your website.
9. Start a private website such as a blog or micro blog to personalise your space and drive traffic to this website before the affiliate program site to influence your potential buyers and try to soft sell them before hand.
10. Write articles and add them to your own blog then submit them to article directories with links back to your website and to other relevant articles submitted this will both increase traffic and search engine rankings of your website and other articles.
