"An Often Overlooked Killer Affiliate Marketing Technique, And How To Use It To Your Great Benefit"

Copyright 2005 Jim Boere

Chances are you are currently promoting one or several
affiliate programs as a way to build a residual income for
yourself. But are you really making the most of your
advertising campaign? Are you original, creative, or are
you using the same standard promotion techniques all your
'competing' affiliates are using too?

Here's a way to make your offer original. A way to stand
out from the crowd, and convert a much higher percentage of
your prospects into affiliates.

I'm talking about 'bribing' your prospects!

The one question on every prospect's mind when they're
reading your offer: "What's in it for me?". Remember, they
might see 20, 50, even 100 emails and ads every day, trying
to get them to join an affiliate program. So, what you need
to do is make your offer different, original, so that it
captures the prospects undivided attention...and 'forces'
them to ACT.

One of the techniques I like to use, is adding something to
the 'standard offer'. Something they don't get elsewhere.
An exclusive bonus, if you will, for joining the program
through my affiliate link. A 'bribe'!

The bribe could be, for example, a free guide or tutorial
that will help new affiliates make a flying start with a
particular program. You could offer this in the form of a
PDF report, an eCourse, a dedicated 'training page' on your
web site, or even one-on-one consultation by email or
phone. Whatever you personally feel most comfortable doing.
The idea is to give prospects an extra incentive to take
action and join immediately.

They will be very tempted to join, because:

1) You just massively increased your credibility. By
offering to teach people how to be successful with this
program, you will be perceived as an expert.

2) You are not just 'one of those people only interested in
growing their own downline', you are personally committing
yourself to help them actually succeed. You are showing
that you care, that you're willing to do more for them then
'all the others' are...

3) Since you - an expert - are offering to teach them how
to do well with this program, people will feel confident
that they actually will do well. That they actually will
make real money if they join.

Using this technique will help you to bring in more
affiliates. But you will also create a much stronger, more
personal relationship with those new affiliates, right
from the start. As a result, they will pay more attention
to your future follow-up messages and recommendations. Thus
further increasing your (residual) income.

There are many ways to draw attention to your exclusive
offer. A few suggestions:

* Notify your newsletter and other opt-in list subscribers
by email.
* Put a text box on your web site.
* Install a popup / popunder / fly-in ad on your web site.
* Promote your offer through eZine ads, classified ads,
banner ads, etcetera.
* Mention it in your email signature file.
* Mention it in the signature file of each of your forum
post.
* Be creative and come up with more ideas.

Use this killer affiliate marketing technique to improve
both your short and long term results. And teach your
affiliates to do the same!
