Affiliate Programs – Boost Sales With Press Releases
The best way to boost your affiliate sales in any affiliate network or affiliate program is to create something original and let people know about it. Break free of the “me too” crowd, and do something different.
There is a common misconception among affiliates that they are stuck with the marketing materials the product owners provide, and unable to do anything of their own. By and large, this is not true. If you are not sure, just ask. Most affiliate managers will okay outside materials if they can see them first.
First, you need to create something of value, such as a free report. This may sound like a daunting task at first, however, once it has been completed, you can use it over and over. The simplest way to write a free report is to write down 5 to 7 tips, and write a couple of sentences related to each tip. If I were an affiliate for a weight loss product, I would write, “7 Ways to Lose 25 Pounds in 6 Months”. Then I would promote the report so that it will lead the reader visit the website of the affiliate program I am promoting via my affiliate link.
The next step is to set up a way to capture email addresses. This can be done either by offering the report as an auto-responder series, or by requiring the reader to sign up to your newsletter in order to download the report. Tips reports work very well as auto-responder series. Furthermore, you can follow up periodically without offending the customer.
Thirdly, you need to get the word out that the free report is there for the taking. You can do this with a press release. I tend to like press releases due to the fact that they are to the point. Your press release only needs to go over the basics such as, “Who, what, when, where, why, and how”. More specifically, you should cover the following:
1. The individual “who” benefits from the product.
2) What the information is (ie. the free report).
3. “When” the information will be available.
4. Where the reader of the press release can find the information.
5. Why the report was written in the first place.
6) How (ie. how the report provides benefits to the reader).
This will take some time. But if you are willing to do what other people are not, you will separate yourself from them. In other words, taking the extra steps to direct more visitors to your affiliate products will result in more sales regardless of the affiliate program or affiliate network to which you belong.
