How To Earn More - Affiliate Marketing Tips

Don't sell - RECOMMEND!

Credibility drives sales as well as commissions. Many affiliates are trying to do what they actually shouldn't - they sell a product. If you really want the people you refer to us to buy WebCEO, just give it your seal of approval. Start by telling them how WebCEO helped you (please NO hype). And don't be surprised to get a terrific boost in sales. Affiliates who used such a technique reported their commissions to have tripled.

A picture is not worth a thousand words

People are so sick and tired of banner advertising that the majority take it as white noise. In other words they pay no attention to banners. Text links, on the other hand, can be served as an integral part of your content. That greatly improves credibility and positions a product as something useful rather than "yet another affiliate link".

All in all, text advertisements are easier to customize, easier to experiment with and easier to fit into the context of your copy. The bottom line is that, if possible, you should prefer affiliate text links to other kinds of advertising.

Do you speak their language?

It is impossible for us to create a banner ad reaching every individual and addressing their specific interest. So if you know the interests of your visitors, you can easily tailor our message to your audience. If we lay aside marketing theory, it means that you can write a few well-aimed lines explaining how they can benefit from using WebCEO.

For example, if your visitors are webmasters who want to reach the top of search engine results, tell them how they can do it with WebCEO and place a direct affiliate link to our Search Engine Optimization tool rather than to WebCEO's Homepage. "I recently discovered and now recommend WebCEO which is, a great tool for search engine optimization. What I love about this program is that it gives me everything I need to run and promote my site. You can download the Free Edition from their Web site".

It sounds very simple and informal, yet it gives you a higher click through ratio than a technocratic message like this: "A software suite designed to provide businesses with a fast, reliable and cost-effective solution for website promotion. Altogether, WebCEO is a unified workspace with nine programs that help you attain real results in search engines, perform intelligent Web traffic analysis, effectively manage your online estate, and easily maintain it. Try it for free." The former message is not bad at all, and it would bring you very good commissions, if your visitors were professional webmasters or Web consultants. You see the point, don't you?

Generalizations are lies

Don't expect everyone to react to your text. Trying to kill twenty two birds with one stone, you kiss your commissions goodbye. Be CONCRETE - this is the approach that works. Tell your visitors about something specific, something that will surely trigger them. On visiting our website, they'll discover that there is much, much more.

For example, your visitors are interested in keeping their sites safe and sound. Tell them - "If you want to find errors on your website and get rid of them, download WebCEO. To tell the truth I was shocked to find so many problems on my site. I even found a broken link on my order page. I used to think it was perfect. Silly me!" Again, emphasizing the importance of checking a site for errors will have a nice reflection in your check.

Experiment until you are there

If you crafted a message that you thought would work, but you don't get the results you were expecting, try changing it. We usually find that, regardless of the message, a certain percentage of people will always purchase our software. But even though the product and all the pages on our site stay the same, simply changing the message that people clicked on can increase that figure up to 5 times.

We recommend giving each message at least a week, before you decide you need to change it (depending on your site's traffic). Feel free to experiment until you find what works. And feel free to ask us if you need some help!

Choose a perfect landing page for your referrers

Get more control and generate more sales by slightly modifying your affiliate link and pointing it to specific pages on our site. For instance, if you are ALREADY giving your visitors a lot of information about the program, then it would only make perfect sense to direct them to the DOWNLOAD page instead of the default HOME page.

Here is a link example that you may encode with your own affiliate ID and point to a specific directory/page that exists on our site:
