How to Explode Affiliate Marketing

By Dirk Andersen

There is stiff, very stiff competition in affiliate marketing these days. A lot of people are pushing the same products, and several websites are doing it well. It is incredibly hard to beat the competition. If someone says I am wrong, shoot them, or at least stay away from them. You may be an affiliate marketer right now, but are you maximizing your results?

I would like to provide some tips to bring their income to the next level by offering some incentives:

You need to be a unique marketer. You need to be at the center of your campaigns building yourself up as an expert. You need unique advertising to really spin yourself away from the competition.

Why is it worth it to buy through your link? Are you offering bonuses or incentives that your competition is not. Can you provide an insight that other people cannot. You need to find something that separates you like a bonus or a rebate. You will not be able to sell more than your competition if you are not better in some way, or offering more.

I can't tell you enough to stay in your niche. Do not offer bonuses that are unrelated to your product. That doesn't help. If you are offering a bonus, keep it within your target market, keep your prospect excited.

You have to be inventive. Normally you can just mimic what other people do successfully. This business is cut throat, however, and you have to be unique. You have to find ways to market the product differently and more efficiently than your competition to make that extra buck.

Offer your incentives with urgency. Offer a deadline such as ending in a few hours, few days, etc. You can also give the bonus to the first few buyers or first 100 buyers. What you need to do is make sure you remove the offer when the limit is reached to maintain credibility.

If you know someone that has made a fortune it is because they did something unique. This business is no different. You can always do something unique to make more money than the competition, but if you are affiliate marketing and just copying someone else, you are losing cash. - 15790
