Some great advice, reviewing a product you are selling should certainly increase affiliate sales, especially if you are a trusted source with a good community behind you.
2 Ways to Increase Your Affiliate Sales
This technique is a quite simple technique, which lots of people actually don’t take advantage of which they should, it just went through my mind and it really was an awesome idea because people don’t use it. I haven’t seen one page at all where they use this relatively simple technique. For those who doesn’t know much about affiliate marketing I will just explain it in a few words.
Affiliate marketing is you selling another one’s product to a customer where you get a percentage of a sale, the percentage varies from product to product. A product which has a rate about 50% is a quite good products for you to sell to others.
That was short, but that’s the basics. I see lots of newcomers in affiliate marketing just promoting lots of products they haven’t tried yet and maybe even isn’t yet to try. That is something you shouldn’t do, you should stand up for what you say. Not just say some crap about this product you haven’t tried, which in the end even can be scam and methods that doesn’t work. Please understand the importance here.
If you offer your audience some bad stuff they will never ever gain trust to you and if they don’t trust you, you will not be able to sell them anything. So you are really playing with your audience here, don’t offer some bullshit to them, it has to be value.
When you are trying to sell affiliate products you should start with a review of the product where you are mentioning some of the benefits maybe some of the stuff that could have been better – then you show you have read it, but you are still satisfied with this product and want to recommend it.
Also be sure to tell something about the creator of the product. It can build up some credibility and make the person buy because he/she knows that person who you are talking about. So that is definitely a way to gain some trust on this affiliate review.
When you have written your review you should create your own sales page (this takes time, but it is worth it if you want to sell this product) where you explain the benefits of the product (no negative stuff here, that should only be in the review) and (here is the main part) that you offer a bonus if people buy with your affiliate link.
Then they should send the receipt and then you will send the bonuses you will give them because they bought through your affiliate link. You might already have a product (of yours) which you can offer as bonus, it just have to have some value. The bonus should at least have the half price of the product (the one you try to sell)
If you offer those bonus you really should gain a couple of more who wants to buy it through your affiliate link, I really see this as a very powerful way of doing affiliate sales.
I hope you can use this blog post to something, it really is powerful if you have the audience and the strong will to succeed online. Willingness is one of the keys to success online.
I agree about your review perspective, but would also like to mention that most products have room for improvement. But as Robert Plank (my favourite PHP guru) says, you need to get your product out, because you will always get extra feedback once your program is released.
Some perfectionists want everything to be perfect before they release it, and they end up never releasing anything because they are so focused on getting everything right.
Once the errors (bugs) are found it’s a question of getting your product out, and getting feedback you can use to remain in front of your competitors… ![]()
