5 Tips To Improve Your Affiliate Sales Performance

Are you a competitive person? Do you enjoy competing with others on a regular basis? Are you switched on by the thought of overcoming the competition. If so then Affiliate Marketing could just be for you.

The reason that I say this is because one thing is for sure, generating income as a paid affiliate is a competitive business. Depending on the product or service you’re promoting, you could have hundreds of competitor affiliates. And then there is also the competition from those who sell similar products in the marketplace.

Here are 5 tips to help you make more sales.

1. Stand out among the crowd. All affiliates will be promoting the same basic offer so give people a reason to buy from you. One way you can do this is to offer something valuable in addition to the product itself.

For example, why not create your own product that you give away when people buy through your link? Or you could offer email support for a period of time after they buy. Make people a better offer than your competitor affiliates.

2. Make sure that you get your message across. Write articles and blog posts that are keyword rich so that you will appear on search engine results. Spend time on relevant forums and post helpful content.

Leave comments on popular blogs in your market. Consider using paid advertising to drive traffic to your website.

3. Develop your expert status in your niche. People want the assurance that you know what you’re talking about and that their hard earned money won’t be wasted when they buy from you.

Whenever you write content ensure that it’s good quality. If you establish yourself as an authority figure you are much more likely to be successful as an affiliate.

4. Understand what your potential customers are looking for. You can have the greatest product in the world but if it’s not what people want, they won’t buy it! So take time to listen to what people in your niche are saying.

Discover what questions are being asked in forums. Look at what people are searching for on Google and use Search Twitter to find real time discussion topics. Then write your sales copy to address the fears, concerns and desires of your potential customers.

5. Give people proof about the value of the product. Feature testimonials from people who have bought the product. For example, if you are promoting a weight loss programme share real stories about how many kilograms others have lost when they were on the programme.

Consider using pictures or videos as additional proof. These can be very powerful tools in generating more sales.
