Hiya, how ya doin'?
Welcome to "The Matrix"... I called the matrix coz it's kinda confusing this affiliate marketing thing, getting yourself unconfused is a must.
So you are now an affiliate marketer or at least planning to be... and of course you want to be a Super Affiliate ( success at it ).
To be a super affiliate first I thought you might be interested to know how to effectively sell your affiliate product.
To darken your grey area, let us compare a real world salesperson to an affiliate marketer.
Salespersons - you see these guys all the times... they come to you representing a company and trying to convince you to buy their product. They highlight the benefits and sharing with you all the whys you should buy their product until it's kinda pisses you off.
And most of us really hate it when someone who tries to sell something sounding pushy, right?... I do! Even when we need to buy something, we still prefer not to be pushed in making decision.
So, basically these salespersons tries to sell to you directly and the companies they represents don't.
Affiliate marketers - and that's YOU!
You represents a company and you can even be an affiliate to many companies at the same time.
What I've discovered is that most affiliate marketers tries to make people click the "buy" button right on the spot on their landing page which is WRONG!
It's not that you cannot make any sale with it, you might... but what I'm saying is that you have a better approach. And it is much more powerful at converting sales.
Affiliate marketers actually doesn't have to sell their affiliate products. What you should be doing is to just suggest to people the check the product that might interest them. Then you can drop your affiliate link for people to click on.
Once they click your affiliate link they will be brought to the product's website. And you don't have to anything from there... let the product owner and their websites do selling for you.
The website will highlight the benefits and the reasons people should buy the products they offer.
Let's recap:
Salespersons - do the selling
Affiliate marketers(YOU) - just suggest others to check out the product they could be interested. Let the product's website do the selling for you.
Pretty simple isn't it?
But wonder why affiliates never do it?
The key to this suggestive selling is to know your target market so that you can be a "friend" to them and provide a reliable suggestions.
You can find many suggestive selling techniques that might suits your affiliate products at Wealthy Affiliate, one of the best super affiliate guide available online.
Now if you are doing what the salespersons are doing you better start changing you game plan. Remember, you are a "friend" to your potential customers.
To your Super Affiliate status,
