The easy way to achieve high sales with affiliate marketing

Selling products on commission has always been a popular way to make money online.

Selling other people’s products in this way is known as affiliate marketing. This is because in order to make money, you need to sign up as an affiliate and earn money by marketing your products.

Affiliate marketing can be something you do just to earn some extra money through your website, or as a way to earn all of your income online.

There are affiliate marketers that work online that are known as super affiliates. The best known of these is Rosalyn Gardner, who makes around $500k/yr as an affiliate marketer.

How to market affiliate products.

The best way to be able to market a product is by owning it. That way, when you’re writing about it, you’ll know exactly what you’re talking about.

But it is not always possible to own all the products you promote. For example, if you have a diet and exercise site and you want to promote a treadmill that costs thousands of dollars, it’s not practical to buy it first. However, these items can net you hundreds of $$$ with a single sale.

Instead, you can read online reviews, sales pages, and visit forums where they talk honestly about the product. This will give you a clear understanding of the product and what it can do, how it can benefit customers, and what its limitations are.

When you’re researching a product, it’s better to make a lot of notes and condense them down to the information you need, rather than not taking enough notes and not being able to write enough about the product.

When you market a product, you should be promoting the benefits of owning the product, rather than describing what the product can do.

For example, years ago when MP3 players first became popular, every company was promoting the “features” of their players rather than the benefits of owning them. They talked about sound quality and how many megabytes of storage their devices had. But none of this meant much to his clients.

Then Apple came along with its first MP3 player and marketed it by describing the benefit of owning it simply by saying, “a thousand songs in your pocket.”

Boom!

His iPod outsold all other MP3 players.

Self-help guru Tony Robbins says that sometimes we’re more inclined to run away from pain than run toward pleasure.

So when marketing a product, you might as well start by describing the “pain” the reader might be feeling because they don’t own the product before talking about how their problems (pains) will be reduced/resolved once they own the product. .

But this all starts with understanding what your customers want.

What does someone want if they are thinking of buying a treadmill?

• Not having to walk outside when the weather is bad?

• Is it easier than walking on uneven ground outdoors?

• Don’t have to drive to the gym?

Naturally, anyone who buys a treadmill wants to get in shape. But if that’s all they wanted, they’d just throw on a pair of running shoes and head out the door or hit the gym.

But there’s something that drives them to buy their own treadmill and it has to be more than the desire to run, because running is free, but treadmills cost thousands.

Understanding how your customers think is paramount if you want to make money from affiliate marketing.

So start by looking for products/companies that offer an affiliate program. Or join an affiliate network that offers hundreds and thousands of products that you can promote for hundreds of different businesses, all through one account.
