Affiliate Marketing Tips – My Top 5 Kaching Affiliate Marketing Tips
ByGetting a lot of questions
from folks struggling to make money online (like a significant income online), so here’s a post about some undeniably profitable and “game changing” affiliate marketing tips. A lot of hardship people suffer trying to make it online is a result of just doing things that don’t work or follow strategies that are plain wrong. Fortunately, that problem is easily fixed.
I think that affiliate marketing is by far one of the easiest, fastest and coolest ways to get started making money online. These affiliate marketing tips and tricks have helped transform me from an amatuer to a professional Internet marketer (and man I’m totally loving it). The great thing about affiliate marketing is that it integrates superbly with any business, it can help you explore many niches and create multiple streams of income as easily as making youself an omlette (okay, so it’s not that easy but it feels like that once you get a hang of it).
So, without any further delay, here they are…
My Top 5 “Kaching” Affiliate Marketing Tips
Kaching Tip #1: Promote Products With Fat Commissions
Hey, it takes the same effort to generate say a thousand visitors to a $10 e-book as it does to generate a thousand visitors to a $500 something. Go with the higher commissions. even if the conversion rates are lesser you will still make more (heck of a lot more). Folks this tip is the one that bought me from the brink of failure, so try it.
Kaching Tip #2: Don’t Feel Shy Making Irresistible Offers
Honestly, don’t forget that you’re marketing. Offer something, anything. Make people feel that you are giving them much more than what they are paying for. That’s the feeling you want to go for. Offer them free shipping or cash rebates or some bonuses; be creative and think about what you’d like. The advantages of this strategy are many fold. Firstly, this way you can tackle your competition head on (truth be told where there is money there’s competition). Secondly,once someone buys from you that means they “know”, “like” and “trust” you which means that they will be happy to purchase from you again in the future. Also, one major positive with this strategy is that you get better conversion rates and a significantly lower refund rate provided your extras offer real value.
Kaching Tip #3: Make Sure The Affiliate Program Captures Leads
How many people perish trying to earn money online because they put all their efforts into promoting an offer that doesn’t capture leads. A very tiny amount of people will actually buy upon their first visit (THIS IS A COLD HARD FACT, ACCEPT IT). To make a meaningful income, capturing the lead is a MUST so that there is scope for more interaction with the lead. This will give you the best conversion rate and the ability to promote many times over and many offers as well(Interpret that as a cool and sustainable income).
IMPORTANT: Make sure that the affiliate program you join offers lifetime commissions so you will get paid every time your lead buys something. In such a case it’s okay to promote something cheap because it is being used to attract people into the sales funnel (inside which are the “fat” commissions).
Kaching Tip #4: Look For Residual And Lifetime Affiliate Commissions
I sort of referred to lifetime commissions in the previous strategy but expand that further by including products that offer residual commissions. Residual commissions are those commission which you earn on a recurring (maybe monthly or quaterly etc) basis. With products that offer residual commissions you do the work once and benefit many time over. What more do I say but that residual income is definitely one of the most powerful ways to grow your wealth.
Kaching Tip #5: Track EVERYTHING
Marketing without tracking is just plain silly. Through tracking you discover what works and then you do more of it and you discover what doesn’t work and you avoid it. The data you get from tracking helps you tweak and fine tune your marketing system and a lot of times a simple tweak can yield very dramatic results. I mention a PPC example in the video so watch it.
Are these all my affiliate marketing tips? Heck no! but this post has gotten long enough. So check back for part 2. Meanwhile try these strategies and let me know how these affiliate marketing tips work out for you (and don’t forget to comment and share this!).

What’s up every one, this is good stuff to follow especially if your a newbie like me and all people seem to be interested in is to sell you something rather than help you. You’ve got my vote!
