The Secret to Affiliate Success

By Norma Schella

Ok, so your out there and your promoting an affiliate program. You have the affiliate link, and you've done a little PPC, Ezine Ads, a Few Sponsor Ads, Banners, etc., and your made a few sales. Great!.

But have you ever thought about the fact that once you've sold something to a customer, the owner of the affiliate program will continue to sell to them in the months to come all because you helped them get that customers details.

You see, when your promoting an affiliate program, Your actually helping the owner build his list. So each visit a prospect makes, (if they are required to fill out a form on a landing page), becomes another lead that the owner can now build a relationship with and market to.

How Do You Overcome This?

Well, the smart thing to do would be to build Your own website. Yes, I said you should build your own website.

Now you have two options here.

1 - You can build a whole website and sales letter explaining the product your are affiliated with, which will take a long time especially if you are not familiar with sales copy.

2- The smart thing to do would be to simply, create a landing page where the prospect is asked to Opt In. Meaning they are asked to enter their contact information before they can proceed to the affiliate website.

The 2nd way is recommended as you will have this person you're your list to build a relationship with and continue to market to over time.

So when joining an affiliate program, unless they provide you with a lead capture page where you get to keep the lead. I advise you to create your own lead capture page with an Opt In Form. This can easily be done with any html editor. A good free program you could use is call NVU. Just google it and you'll find the site where you can download it for FREE

This will increase your sales almost certainly.
