5 Ways to Boost Your Residual Affiliate Program Income
Sunday, May 31st, 20091) Promote qualified products that offer high value
The first rule does not only affect recurring commission products, but also applies to any affiliate products you’re promoting.
Don’t forget, it is the benefits your referred customers are receiving to warrant them to keep on investing in their recurring products.
2) Take advantage of closed-door affiliate programs.
Closed-door affiliate programs are those that require you to buy their products to be their affiliates. You are not going to be charged an arm and a leg to join; but you need to find the good ones to join.
Here’s something you probably don’t know about closed-door affiliate programs. They are generally to convert better!
That’s because you get lower chances of “getting crashed”- Ouch, another marketer’s promoting the same product to your prospects!
There’s also less chance for commission thieves to steal your affiliate commissions by replacing your affiliate links with theirs, because only customers get permissions to promote the products.
“But you’re kidding me! It cost me money to join an affiliate program?!”
Well, many open-door affiliate programs pay you less money(For example, they may not pay you on backend sales) or not convert as well as the closed-doors, so this all balances out.
In life it’s hard to break the “sowing / reaping” principle, the “you get what you pay for” rule.
3) Promote products that existing customers unlikely to stop their recurring subscriptions
Impossible? Ok, I’ll show you some. Many products of this kind are technical related services.
As you may notice, I’m promoting a service that can help your sites rank well in Google. Each of the sites gets 250 “one-way” backlinks, which will have a great impact on search engine rankings, especially for Google.
So what if the customer stops his recurring payment? The “one-way” back links will get disappeared immediately the day his account expires.
Another good example is a nice link trace tool I promote, which can hide affiliate links, track sign ups & sales conversions.
Think about it. When people got all their cloaked affiliate links spread on the Internet, do you consider they will ever think of canceling the service and make all the links invalid?
4) Bonus bribery strategy
This strategy is so simple but works. Offer your prospects some bonuses if they join under you rather than others!
How many resale rights products do you have in your hard drive? I guess dozens of, hmm? Just pick out the ones that related to the recurring products you’re promoting.
Ask your referrals to provide you their payment receipts and offer them your resale products bonuses to download.
5) Help your referrals to benefit more!
After some time of your hard promotion, you probably get quite a few referred recurring customers. And as you may noticed, many of these recurring affiliate programs allow you to contact with your referrals. Make use of this powerful feature! Introduce yourself to them, share your tips, make friends with them and get them stay longer for their subscriptions.
It’s not as hard as you think - show your personal experience with that recurring product, how you take advantage of it. Your referral will be truly thankful to you for helping them and more loyal.
