One of the best possible solutions for increasing conversions is to offer a bonus as an incentive.

You can’t just offer any bonus, though. It should be something that is related to the original affiliate offer, and it should be something truly valuable that complements the affiliate product well.

Let’s face it, people love getting “gifts”. Everyone loves free stuff, right?

And if the gift has a very high perceived value, and it goes well with the offer, it will increase conversions like nothing you’ve ever seen!

The right bonus can double, or even triple your conversions. Best of all, bonuses are really simple to provide. Years ago, whenever companies would provide bonuses for their products, it had to be a physical product. Before the internet, there was no way to deliver a digital download. Even software products had to be loaded on disks and shipped.

These days things are much simpler. Digital downloads can be incredibly powerful motivators, especially if they complement the product well.

For example, if you’re promoting a course about making money with blogs, you could offer bonuses such as WordPress themes, blog security plugins, or other similar bonuses.

Not only can bonuses skyrocket your affiliate conversions, but you can also make money via upsells through those bonuses. A really good OTO can make you more money than the affiliate commissions themselves!

Big Red Easy Button – Myth or Fact?

by Mike Paetzold – Copyright 2009 – All rights reserved

Affiliate marketing is often sold as the ultimate big red easy button. Go find a product at one of the huge affiliate sites like Clickbank and send traffic to the sales page with your affiliate link. Collect huge checks over and over. Only do that and it is a myth.

Smart marketers know it takes more than just traffic to be a successful affiliate. Smart marketers create a system of some type to promote affiliate products. List building and follow up is always at the center of their system.

It usually consists of a free giveaway of some type or what I call an ethical bribe to get permission to follow up with those people. This can be a free report, an audio interview, a video, an e-course or a combination of any or all of the above.

This requires having an autoresponder and a 3 page web site system to get the subscriber on to your list.

You need to create a follow up series to promote the product on a continuing basis. This can be tied in to more free reports, videos or just training to help your subscriber see the value of the product you are promoting.

This is necessary because most people won’t buy the first time they see a product. It may not be the right time. It may be something that they are not quite ready for. That is one of the reasons that even the best sales letters rarely convert at more than 1-2% even with targeted traffic.
Despite that you will see some affiliates that can generate 3, 4 or even 5 times that average conversion because of the relationship that they have built with their subscribers. The follow up series allows you to do just that – build the relationship with your subscribers.

You can see how powerful this can be.

Now the disadvantage of this is the part they skip on all of the hyped up sales letters. It takes effort or that bad 4 letter word – WORK. It does require you to either have some skills or the cash to outsource processes.

You will need hosting and the ability to create web pages. If terms like HTML, FTP and PHP make your eyes glaze over you are in for a learning curve.

You will need an autoresponder to automate the follow up for you. You will need to understand how to use that system.

None of these are quite like rocket science and most people can pick them up easily. It can be daunting to get it started. Once started you need to test and tweak the system until you get it operating properly.
Do it once then you need to rinse and repeat the process.

Create these systems and you will have the proverbial big red easy button. Just send traffic and collect the cash.

To cut your effort and learning curve check out the premade affiliate systems including the ethical bribe and follow up series ready for you to just send traffic to at The Clickbank Pirate.

There are three things a successful affiliate marketer needs to do.

First, you need to find a quality product. This can be relatively easy because there are quite a few quality products around. The problem comes when you get into the second part of the equation.

The second thing you need is for the good product to have a good sales letter. If the copy is poor, no matter how great the product, you won’t make many sales.

The third thing you need to do is develop your own list. Capturing e-mail addresses before people get to the actual sales letter is crucial. This allows you to follow up impre than once and increase your conversions. You can even make other related promotions to this list.

Getting started with all three of these things can be very difficult for most people. Most people just find a quality product, they like and ignore the sales letter or don’t do the follow up necessary to maximize their profit. This makes it extremely hard for you to create an ongoing business.

Jon Hostler has created a new program that will allow you to solve all three problems. He finds quality products with poorly written sales letters and creates a whole system to allow you to have a good sales funnel.

You get a professionally written squeeze page, an updated sales letter for the product, and the follow up e-mail series, all written by Jon himself with professional graphics and video.

Jon is a good copywriter who gets paid big dollars for his copy, but he’s going to allow you to leverage this through his new membership site for pennies on the dollar.

Each month you will get a video squeeze page for the product of the month. You will receive a 10 e-mail series, ready to upload to your auto responder. Finally, you will receive a new sales letter for the product so that your customer will never see the poor sales letter.

You get all of the pieces and all you need to do is drive traffic to your site.
