7 Ways To Re-energize Your Affiliate Marketing Success

Do you know nearly 80% of the information products that are sold online have no externally advertised affiliate program. Most marketers just setup affiliate programs using some tools and that’s the extent to which they go. They hardly promote the program to new affiliates.

Here are some tips on how you can re-energize your affiliate program.

  • Create an affiliate signup page for your best selling product. Most affiliate program management companies ( 1shoppingcart and Infusionsoft) make this process very easy.
  • Hire an affiliate manager
  • Test your own marketing channels by becoming your own affiliate
  • Promote your affiliate program to your existing customers
  • Create an Affiliate Week. In other words don’t do anything other than Affiliate Marketing for an entire week. This will create momentum
  • Raise the price, Offer 100% commission. This technique will help build you a strong buyer list and a JV list for a major launch in future
  • Place your product on a high traffic CPA network

List Building With A Busy Blog

Finding harmony between Blogging & List Building is difficult to achieve.. but not impossible.

I’m saying that after running numerous blogs across 100’s of niches. Blogs are designed to be busy. List building is all about single, focused action. They just don’t go hand in hand.

Let’s take the example of this blog. You see the option box on the top left corner. The conversion on that one is pretty poor…to be precise only 3%. I tried having a interrupt driven footer optin box. The conversion went up to 18% but again the code started interfering with the javascript ( using which this wordpress blog has been coded) so I had to disable it.

I tried the lightbox the conversion was astronomical… about 54%, but the opt out rate was pretty high too. two out of every three people who opted in opted out after getting my second email.

What that tells you is.. you just cannot trick people to get on your list and any short cuts to list building are just shortcuts. Remember the saying.. “There are no shortcuts to any place worth going”

After all, is list building possible with a busy blog?

Just place the optin code in each and every post. Preferably in the beginning or to the end of the post and watch your conversions rates skyrocket.

For example

This is easy to setup, and the quality of the people whom you attract is very high. Trust me at the end of the day its the quality list that matters, not the quantity.

Stop Swapping Ads.. Start Blogging :) -
