There are many ways to increase affiliate marketing sales if you think about it. You can create a review page, optimize your traffic campaigns, or find more traffic sources. You can target more niches or spend more on advertising. There are a multitude of ways to drive traffic to your affiliate offering, including banner advertising, pay-per-click advertising, email marketing, and much more. It’s very easy to get overloaded with too much information when it comes to affiliate marketing, and that may be one of the reasons why your affiliate marketing sales stagnate. It is not for lack of information, it is for lack of correct information!

With that said, here are 5 proven tips to drastically explode your affiliate marketing sales:

Tip No. # 1: promote popular high-converting offers

While new products may seem like the right options to promote, it’s the popular, high-converting offers that you’ll want to promote. At ClickBank, the most popular affiliate marketplace for digital products online, popularity is indicated by the products’ Gravity score. The higher the Gravity score, the more affiliates are promoting it. Although this may seem bad at first, as more affiliates indicates more competition, it can be a good thing because it means the product is converting well and many affiliates have been successful in promoting it. It can be profitable to jump on the bandwagon and promote the product yourself. The internet is a huge place and there are a lot of potential prospects you can reach out to.

Tip No. # 2: consider ditching review sites

Many e-books and internet marketing courses these days advocate review sites to promote affiliate products. In some cases, such as complicated and more expensive products like software and services, review sites are recommended. However, in most markets, it is just another link that the visitor has to go through before reaching your affiliate link and the affiliate sales page presents it. Often times, it is more profitable to send all your traffic directly to your affiliate sales page and let your visitors sell immediately, rather than going through more roadblocks.

Tip No. # 3: test the offers against each other

Since there are often many possible e-books and courses that you can promote in almost any market, it is a good tactic to compare the offerings with others. In some advertising systems, such as pay-per-click advertising, this can be done easily. However, for other marketing tactics, such as article marketing, for example, where the resource box link must be changed by hand for each article, it can be very problematic. The way to compare offers against each other is to register your own domain, be it a.com or.net, or even a.info (which is the lowest cost top-level domain you can buy) and redirect it to your affiliate link. You can change the redirect at any time through the control panel of your domain registrar.

Tip No. # 4: build an email list

Building an email list instead of sending your visitors directly to your affiliate link can seem like putting up another hoop to get your visitors to jump. However, in this case, building an email list is a good thing because you have the ability to show your affiliate offer to your visitors multiple times in the form of follow-ups and email broadcasts. The more exposures your offering visitors have, the more likely they are to open their wallets and buy.

Tip No. # 5: Focus on Driving Traffic

Since you don’t have to focus on developing products, building sales pages, or providing customer service, your focus is primarily on driving traffic to your offering. You should focus at least 80% of your time on generating traffic: finding new sources of traffic to test, testing the ad copy for your campaigns, and optimizing your campaigns.

These 5 tips will help you earn an affiliate sales crush if you apply them diligently. Hope to see you at the top!
