6
Ways To Lose Affiliate Commission
Sure affiliate marketing can be highly
profitable but if you’re not using the right methods you
could actually be driving away your customers.
Here are 6 things to avoid in affiliate marketing:
1) Don’t distract visitors with too many
offers. You may think by listing a whole bunch of different programs
the better your odds of making a sale, but if you give your visitor’s
too many choices chances are they’re going to go into information
overdrive and not buy anything at all.
2) Don’t go for the sale immediately. People
need to be warmed up before they purchase from you. Give them
information, advice, substance and then and only then should you
make an offer.
3) Don’t use exclamation marks!! Exclamation
marks and other hype language will make your offer sound like
a sales pitch and nobody likes a sales pitch right? Speak in a
genuine way and try to avoid too many exclamation marks.
4) Don’t Just Let Them Leave. Chances are
your visitors aren’t going to buy from you the first time
around so don’t let them leave your website without collecting
their email address. You need a way to follow up with them. Send
them valuable information through your mailing list along with
the relevant offers.
5) Don’t OVER sell a product. Product reviews
work really well with affiliate marketing but you need to make
sure your reviews are honest. Come one lets face it no product
is perfect. Be honest in your reviews, if you wish the product
offered had a certain function then say so. People will trust
you more if they know you’re reviews are honest.
6) Don’t review products you don’t
own. This can be a killer. It’s so much easier to promote
a product you own and use and it will come through in your writing.
If you’re reviewing a product take the time and make the
investment and actually purchase the product and use it.
