Explode Affiliate Marketing

By Dirk Andersen

There is stiff, very stiff competition in affiliate marketing these days. A lot of people are pushing the same products, and several websites are doing it well. It is incredibly hard to beat the competition. If someone says I am wrong, shoot them, or at least stay away from them. You may be an affiliate marketer right now, but are you maximizing your results?

I have listed just a few ways you can take your income to the next level by offering incentives:

You need to be a unique marketer. You need to be at the center of your campaigns building yourself up as an expert. You need unique advertising to really spin yourself away from the competition.

Why is it worth it to buy through your link? Are you offering bonuses or incentives that your competition is not. Can you provide an insight that other people cannot. You need to find something that separates you like a bonus or a rebate. You will not be able to sell more than your competition if you are not better in some way, or offering more.

I can't tell you enough to stay in your niche. Do not offer bonuses that are unrelated to your product. That doesn't help. If you are offering a bonus, keep it within your target market, keep your prospect excited.

You need to reinvent the wheel. There are many cases that you would just copy what someone else is doing, but in this type of business you must be new. You have to invent a different way to market an affiliate product that will make people buy.

You can offer incentives and put a timeframe on them, or a limit of some sort. Make people feel like they have to do this now or they are going to lose out. Offer a bonus for the next twenty four hours or next few days, or for the first 100 buyers. Remove the offer when the limit is reached or you lose credibility.

Everybody that has ever made a fortune did it in some unique way. Affiliate marketing is no different. If you are not unique you are losing out to the competition. Generate a loyal following of customers, you then can always increase your affiliate marketing and make more cash. - 15465
