The Right Way To Presell
Affiliate Products
The main thing that
separates successful affiliates from wanna-be affiliates is
a simple PRESELL. In order to presell affiliate
products, you have to come at the customer from the right
angle. You're essentially warming your customer up,
making them trust you, catching their attention and
recommending a product to them as a good friend would - all
at the same time.
Some great ways toget your
customer in the right state of mind is
to:
-
Give an honest review
of the product you're promoting. Many people
get turned off by all the hype and lies that seem
to saturate the internet. Don't underestimate
the customer's intelligence - it's insulting.
Instead give them an honest review of whatever
you're selling. Yes, even it's flaws.
In fact, revealing something negative about the
product in question will better help the customer
to trust your word. It could be something as
small as mentioning there were a few typos, yet
this simple act can turn many potential customers
over to your side.
-
Emphasize what
results the product in question actually gave
you. This is what people really care
about. What did you learn? After your
applied the information, what happened to
you? If you have something positive to say,
then say it now.
-
What if you don't
really like the product you're reviewing?
Tell your customers that it's not worth it, and
recommend a substitute that is. I've made a
lot of money by reviewing high priced products that
don't live up to their claims, and recommending
much lower priced products that do almost the same
thing or better. It's easy to find good
substitutes to high priced products with a little
research.
-
Offer your customer
an incentive to buy from your affiliate link.
Many top affiliates offer bonuses such as reports,
templates, mind maps, software, and even free
hosting if you buy through their affiliate
link. The key to success with this method is
to develop a quality bonus product for a few
quality affiliate products. Focus on creating
a bonus so good that you know people would pay good
money for it as a stand-alone product. A
great example is this site: http://xsitepro-seo.com/
. You better believe I bought through his
affiliate link, because the fact is his bonuses are
red hot. Unbelievable value. If you're
thinking you can't pull something like that off you
should look into outsourcing. Hire a
professional to create a good tool or report that
you can offer.
By using a good
technique to presell affiliate products to your
customer, so you can be sure you aren't wasting your
time. Preselling
the right way can take you from earning $10 in affiliate
commissions each month to earning $5,000 in affiliate
commissions each month.
