In affiliate marketing, there are many ways in which you can increase
your earnings and maintain the account that you have worked so hard for
already. Most of the techniques and tactics can be learned easily. No need to
go anywhere and any further. They are available online, 24 hours a day and 7
days a week.
One of the more important ways of increasing affiliate marketing bottom
line and sale is through the use of product recommendations. Many marketers
know that this is one of the most effective ways in promoting a certain
product.
If the customers or visitors trust you enough, then they will definitely
trust your recommendations. Be very careful in using this approach, though. If
you start promoting everything by recommendation, your credibility will
actually wear thin.
This is seen especially when recommendations are seemingly exaggerated
and without much merit.
Do not be afraid to mention things that you do not like about a given
product or service. Rather than lose any points for you, this will make your
recommendation more realistic and will tend to increase your credibility.
Furthermore, if your visitors are really interested in what you are
offering, they will be more than delighted to learn what is good about
the product, what is not so good, and how the product will benefit them.
When you are recommending a certain product, there are some things to
remember on how to make it work effectively and for your advantage.
Sound like
the true and leading expert in your field.
Remember this simple equation: Price resistance diminishes in direct
proportion to trust. If your visitors feel and believe that you are an expert
in your niche, they are more inclined to making that purchase. On the other
hand, if you are not exuding any confidence and self- assurance in endorsing
your products, they will probably feel that same way and will go in search of
another product or service which is more believable.
How do you establish this aura of expertise? By offering unique and new
solutions they would not get anywhere else. Show proof that what you are
promoting works as promised. Display prominent testimonials and endorsements
from respected and known personalities, in related fields of course.
Avoid hype at all costs. It is better to sound low key and confident,
than to scream and seek attention. Besides, you would not want to sound
unprofessional and have that thinking stick to your potential customers and
clients, now would you? Best to appear cool and self- assured at the same time.
And remember; prospects are not stupid. They are actually turning to
experts and may already know the things that you know. If you back up your
claims with hard facts and data, they would gladly put down hundreds, or even
thousands worth of money to your promotions. But
if you don’t, they are smart enough to try and look at your competitors
and what they are offering.
While recommending a product, it is also important that you give out
promotional freebies. People are already familiar with the concept of offering
freebies to promoting your won products. But very few people do this to promote
affiliate products. Try to offer freebies that can promote or even have some
information about your products or services.
Before you add recommendations to you product, it is given that you
should try and test the product and support.
Do not run the risk of promoting junk products and services. Just think
how long it took you to build credibility and trust among your visitors. All
that will take to destroy it is one big mistake on your part.
If possible, have recommendations of products that you have 100%
confidence in. Test the product support before you begin to ensure that the
people you are referring it to would not be left high and dry when a problem
suddenly arouse.
Have a look at your affiliate market and look at the strategies you are
using. You may not be focusing on the recommendations that your products need
to have. You plan of action is sometimes not the only thing that is making your
program works.
Try product recommendation and be among those few who have proven its
worth.
