Are you\u00a0trying to make money off your blog, perhaps an affiliate income?<\/span><\/p>\n

You know you\u00a0can <\/em>capitalize on what you enjoy doing – running a blog. \u00a0That’s why you’re reading\u00a0marketing-related materials, and wondering how. <\/span><\/p>\n

How to get a little more traffic. How to improve conversions. How to increase your affiliate income.<\/span><\/p>\n

You needn’t wonder anymore. <\/span><\/p>\n

Here are 6 proactive ways to make the most out of your affiliate partnerships.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Host Webinars<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"host<\/p>\n

You\u2019ve likely signed up to 3 or 4 email lists, which means you probably get a dozen or so webinar invites per year. And you don\u2019t mind it – these webinars are always filled with free and useful information.<\/span><\/p>\n

With so many of these webinars being held, you have to wonder \u2013 what does the host get\u00a0out of it?<\/em> The answer, as you may have guessed, is simple: affiliate income.<\/span><\/p>\n

These free training sessions always\u00a0end with a sales pitch<\/strong>. And as a consumer and a marketer, we\u2019re okay with it. The information given before the pitch\u00a0was relevant to you. More significantly,\u00a0the product they\u2019re advertising can truly\u00a0help you.<\/span><\/p>\n

So how you can use this technique to get more affiliate sales? Here’s how –<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 1.\u00a0<\/span>Reach out to the person you\u2019re affiliated with.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 2. Discuss with them the potential for a free training session, outlining how it can benefit them.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 3. Once they\u2019ve agreed, publicize it on\u00a0your mailing list.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 4. Host the webinar. Ensure that it actually benefits your audience. The entire thing should <\/span>not <\/span><\/i>be a sales pitch. If it has no value\u00a0to offer your audience, don\u2019t do it.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 5. Drop the sales pitch only\u00a0<\/em>at the end. Promote\u00a0the product\/service using\u00a0your own experience with it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then you can reap the benefits of providing your audience with plenty of value, with better performing\u00a0affiliate marketing sales.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

2. Create Video Series<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Create<\/p>\n

Video series are frequently\u00a0used for product launches. They visually connect with your audience – and that can be highly<\/em> impactful. <\/span><\/p>\n

You\u2019ve likely seen it in action already, but a few good recent examples would be Jeff Goins\u2019 book launch & Danny Iny\u2019s Course Builder launch.<\/p>\n

Here’s how it works. A series of videos is emailed to subscribers over the course of a few days or weeks. These videos offer useful, actionable content. They\u00a0tackle issues that your product\/service helps with.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

At the end of the series, your product is pitched to the\u00a0subscribers.\u00a0Usually with a summary video explaining how the product is relevant to the problems solved before.<\/span><\/p>\n

This technique can also be used to grow affiliate income. Except instead of promoting your own product, it’d be your affiliate’s.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Make sure that the video series is<\/span>\u00a0resourceful, whether they buy the product <\/span>or <\/span>not<\/span>. <\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Alternatively, you can reach out to your affiliate\u00a0and ask <\/span>them<\/span><\/i> to produce a free video series. You can explain how it will benefit them if\u00a0they sped efforts on creating it, and promote it on your social sharing channels.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Offer Free Extras<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"offer<\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t have to be lavish. <\/span><\/p>\n

A small ebook. An email course. An infographic. Something of that nature.<\/p>\n

Give away your own product to those who’re buying your affiliate program. It can<\/em><\/span>\u00a0coax people to overlook the loss aversion mindset.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

The buy-X-get-Y\u00a0technique is used everywhere. It works. Even if they\u2019re not exactly sure if they need what they\u2019re getting for free – people\u00a0seem to want free things,\u00a0simply<\/em> because<\/em> it’s free.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And if they\u2019re at all interested in the initial product \u2013 they\u2019ll be even more<\/em> inclined to buy it\u00a0now, now that\u00a0they perceive to be getting more value for what they’re paying. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

That can boost your affiliate income, and that’ll be\u00a0your<\/em> bonus.<\/p>\n

4. Write Case Studies<\/b><\/h2>\n

If you’ve become an affiliate, you probably hold their\u00a0product to be good, and efficient. <\/span><\/p>\n

But if you’re to convince others who’ve never used the product to use it too, they need hard evidence<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"write<\/a><\/p>\n

So, take time out of your schedule, use the product\/service yourself.<\/p>\n

Create a detailed breakdown of its use ad benefits. No sales pitch, no stretching\u00a0the truth, just an objective<\/em> analysis.<\/p>\n

If the product truly has value to offer your blog audience, just this\u00a0should win your readers over. Your audience will find your case study useful as they can learn from it.\u00a0They can now know what they have in store, before they buy the product. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Your honesty and analysis can\u00a0incentivize them to buy your affiliate’s product, all just because of your case study.<\/p>\n

5. Use Retargeting<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"use<\/p>\n

Here’s a common event. <\/span><\/p>\n

People click on your affiliate link, and stare at the option they have. Then the\u00a0window is promptly closed for now reason, and a new\u00a0window is under the threat of being closed.<\/p>\n

This can grind many<\/em> a blogger’s gears.<\/p>\n

Visitors\u00a0may do so with the idea that they\u2019ll re-visit your affiliate’s product in the future. However, they may also forget to.<\/p>\n

With retargeting, you can bring them right back.<\/p>\n

Retargeting is currently a growing trend. It\u00a0involves placing a cookie on to those who click on your\u00a0affiliate link. If they fail to purchase, they\u2019ll see the ad for your affiliate product elsewhere<\/em> on the internet, as a reminder, to go and purchase it.<\/p>\n

This way there’s no chance that they’ll forget.<\/strong><\/p>\n

6. Use Promo Boxes<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"use<\/p>\n

There is no doubt –\u00a0you\u2019ve seen promo boxes used on almost every blog you\u2019ve ever visited. <\/span><\/p>\n

Yet, so many people forget to use them in their own<\/em> blogs and\u00a0posts. Even though there’s little that sells a product better than a contextually placed promo box.<\/p>\n

Don’t do the same mistake. Take full advantage of promo boxes.<\/p>\n

The key to making an effective promo box, is for it\u00a0to jump out at your reader whilst reading your post, making\u00a0a relevant\u00a0<\/em>pitch about your affiliate’s product. <\/span><\/p>\n

You can do this by having the color of the promo box be in contrast with the background color of your blog.<\/p>\n

In fact, you can do that, and much more with our Plugmatter Promo Box plugin<\/a>. Using it. you can create almost any kind of promo box, customize it, and easily put up on your blog.<\/p>\n

One or two per post, is a sound\u00a0good rule of thumb. Too many, and you\u00a0readers might end up skipping over the promo boxes altogether. <\/span><\/p>\n

So, you don’t have to\u00a0wait anymore.\u00a0These quality affiliate income\u00a0techniques can make you much more affiliate revenue, than if you haven’t implemented them. <\/span><\/p>\n

It’s time you do. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
