Mining Your List For Affiliate Commissions – Strategy #1: “The Resource”, part 2

Let’s pick up where we left off last time…

  1. USE VARIETY IN YOUR DELIVERY.

The first thing you want to do is use variety in your delivery.  And what I mean by that is use two different kinds of mailings in giving away these free resources:  scheduled and unscheduled.

Obviously, as you find new free resources that fit the criteria we’ve talked about, you’ll want to pass them on to your list.  Specifically, you’ll want to do this when the resources are first released because they are new and unseen, and if there is a deadline that accompanies the resource you’d want to pass it on as quickly as possible.

  1. Contest

The idea here is to offer a free contest where entrants have a chance to win your products.  Here are three tips for optimizing this freemium strategy:

TIP: Get people excited about your products. For example, have people create a 15-second commercial about your products, or have them write a Haiku poem about them. Then have your visitors vote for the best entries.

 

TIP: Give “runners up” a discount coupon. After you award your prizes, give all entrants a limited-time coupon that gives them a discount off your most popular products. This tip is especially powerful in combination with the previous tip, because then entrants have already put plenty of thought into the benefits of your products.

 

TIP: Give extra entries using Rafflecopter.com. This tool lets you give extra entries for performing specific actions, such as spreading the word on Facebook or other social media platforms. It’s a great way to make your contest go viral.

 

Just be sure to check the rules and regulations in your location so that your contest is legal. Here are a few contest examples:

But through trial and error I’ve kind of figured out the real world view of joint ventures, the stuff that I don’t hear other people talking about, and I’m going to give you some really practical applications. Typically everybody teaches the worst way to do joint ventures, so I’m going to teach you four more important and positive strategies for getting joint ventures to work, and you’re going to notice here that there aren’t some magic solutions, there’s a little bit of upfront work before you take it into account, but it’s worth it.

Why? Because joint ventures are the simplest and best way to get traffic. Typically, all things being equal, joint venture traffic converts higher than every other traffic especially if you pick the right joint venture partners. And it’s fast and you only pay in advertising costs a percentage of sales, so you only pay out of profit, you don’t risk anything. That’s why joint ventures are absolutely the best. A key focus for anybody who really wants to do well in internet marketing should be joint ventures.
