Increase Affiliate Sales With Product Recommendations
By Dan Hartnett
As an affiliate marketer, there are many ways in which you can increase your earnings. Most of these techniques and tactics can be learned easily. There is no need to go anywhere or any further. They are available online, 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.
One of the easiest ways to increase your affiliate marketing bottom line and improve sales is through the use of product recommendations. Many experienced marketers know that this is one of the most effective ways to promote a certain product.
If you have gained your customers trust, they will also trust your recommendations. You have to be very careful in using this approach, though. If you start recommending everything, your credibility will start to wear thin. This is true especially when your recommendations seem to be exaggerated and without much merit.
Don't be afraid to point out things that you do not like about a given product or service. Rather than lose any points for you, this will make your recommendation seem more realistic and will tend to increase your credibility.
Furthermore, if your visitors are really interested in your offer, they will appreciate learning what is good about the product, what is not so good, and how the product will benefit them.
When you are recommend a certain product, there are a few 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 make a purchase. On the other hand, if you are not giving them confidence and self-assurance when you endorse the products, they will probably doubt the product also and go in search of another product or service that is more believable.
How do you make them believe in your expertise? By showing them unique and new solutions they would not get anywhere else. Give them proof that what you are promoting works as promised. You could also give them prominent testimonials and endorsements from respected and known personalities in related fields.
Do not hype these products. 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.
Keep in mind these 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 will gladly accept your offers. But if you don't, they are smart enough to try and look at your competitors and what they are offering.
When recommending a product, it is also important that you give out promotional freebies. People are already familiar with the concept of offering freebies to promote products. But very few people do this to promote affiliate products. Try to offer freebies that are compatible with the products or services offered for sale.
Before you add recommendations to your product, it is a given that you should try and test the product and support yourself. Do not run the risk of promoting junk products and services. Just think about how long it took you to build credibility and trust among your visitors. All that it takes 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 arose.
Take a long hard look at affiliate market endeaver and look at the strategies you are using. You may not be focusing on the recommendations that your products need to have. Your plan of action is sometimes not the only thing that is making your program work.
Try product recommendations and be among those few who have proven its worth.
