Boost Affiliate Income 5: Increase Traffic – Your Way

Hi. I’m Nicole Dean, and I’m a Guest Expert here this week, chatting about How to Boost your Affiliate Commissions. I know from experience that getting a few affiliate checks is fun. But, I also know that getting bigger and bigger affiliate checks gets to be nearly addicting.

So far this week, during this series, I’ve written about:

• Starting an email list.
• Writing honest reviews.
• Requesting interviews with experts.
• Tweaking your error pages.

Today we’ll wrap up our series. I could go in any of a number of directions here, honestly, as there are more than five ways to boost your affiliate commissions. I recommend that you check out check out Affiliate Payraise™:27 Ways To Increase Your Affiliate Commissions by Jimmy D. Brown for more ideas.

But, we’ll talk today about traffic. Without traffic, you can’t get any affiliate sales. You need eyeballs – and lots of them looking at your sales messages in your ezine and on your site. Yes, it all comes down to people. People are the ones with the money to spend.

So, you’ll want to get your message in front of as many people as you possibly can.

But, what’s the best way to generate traffic? Read more

Boost Affiliate Income 4: Error Page Cash

Hi. I’m Nicole Dean and I’m a Guest Expert here this week, talking about ways to Boost your Affiliate Income.

I’ve thrown a lot at you this week, so today’s lesson will be easy.

Tune up your Error Pages.

Which of these looks more appealing?

404 File Not Found: This page cannot be found. Contact system administrator.

or

oops! I’m so sorry but that page isn’t there. Please accept this free gift.

Thank you so much for visiting. Here are some of our most popular posts:

(list of posts)

I’m guessing #2.

Sample Error Page here –> (links will open in new window)

• See my Error Page.
• See John’s Error Page.

But how does this make you money? Well it helps in two different ways.

1. By choosing #2 – you’re helping people to view more pages of your website, rather than just clicking the red “X” to leave.
2. The free report that you show on that page is a brandable one that is filled with your affiliate links. (Need some brandable reports, audios, and videos? Go to www.BrandableStuff.com )

Pretty sneaky, eh?

Now, as I mentioned in my first blog post here, I’m on vacation with no internet (until I go to a wifi hotspot) so I’ll have to post a “how to” video later – unless John chooses to beat me to the punch and posts one below.

If someone has a link with good instructions for customizing your 404 error pages, both on a regular web host and in your WordPress theme -  feel free to post it below.

I’ll be back soon with the final post in this series. Please leave your comments below!

Warmly,

Boost Affiliate Income 3: Interviews with Experts

Hi. I’m Nicole Dean. I’m a Guest Expert here on John’s blog this week as part of a Blog World Tour that I’m doing. I’ve been all over the World the last few weeks, and all over the ‘net, too, hopping around to the best marketing blogs – posting valuable information, recommendations for resources, and a little humor along the way.

This week, I’m discussing ways to Boost your Affiliate Income. So far I’ve talked about Starting a List and Writing Honest Detailed Reviews.

Today, I’ll talk about interviews. One of my favorite ways to boost affiliate commission is by doing interviews, whether written, audio or video. You simply ask the owners of the products that you’re recommending if they’d be willing to be interviewed.

However, there is a right way and a wrong way to get these interview to earn commissions for you. Read more

Boost Affiliate Income 2: Honest Product Reviews

Hi again. I’m Nicole Dean and I’m John’s Guest Expert here this week, doing a series about “5 Ways to Boost your Affiliate Income”. Obviously he’s qualified to write these, but it’s always fun to have someone new come by to share their ideas.

Yesterday, I chatted about the importance of having a list so that you can earn more from every visitor to your website.

Hopefully you took my advice, so that all of these other methods of increasing your affiliate income will work better. But, if not, there’s still time. Go back and reread the first tip of this series here: Start a List to Boost Affiliate Income.

Our next strategy is all about showing a reason why someone should buy what you’re recommending. Yes, it’s one thing to say “OH! You’ll just LOVE it!” but it’s another to say “Well, honestly, I wasn’t sure either but this is why I recommend it. It’s given me these results.”

You see the diference? It comes down to one word. And, that word is “Why?”

Anyone with children know this one word.

Boost Affiliate Income: 5 Proven Methods

Hi. I’m Nicole Dean, and I was invited here by John to be a guest expert this week. All summer long, I’m doing a Blog World Tour where I hop from blog to blog, meeting new readers and sharing free information as well as recommendations for valuable resources.

So far, I’ve visited a variety of blogs, from work at home success blogs, to internet marketing blogs. It’s been quite an adventure to say the least.

Oh, and a quick note. I give away prizes at each stop on my journey to people who take the time to comment. Usually you can win the report of your choice from SRZone.com – check out the available reports by clicking here. Hint: My favorite is Homepreneur Habits.

So, keep an eye on your email account that you use when you leave comments. That’s how we send prize notifications. You can only win though, if you comment, so please do leave some thoughts. And, yes, that’s the only reason we’ll contact you.

Onward. At the moment, as you can see in the picture below, I’m sitting overlooking a golf course in Crossville, Tennessee, watching golfers go by. I’m on vacation, but I have my laptop so, while the kids rest a bit, I’m pounding out some of these blog posts. Freedom to travel where I want, when I want is one of the reasons why I’ve chosen to earn money with affiliate marketing. And, that is our topic today.

First of all, what qualifies me to talk about this topic here? Well, anyone can talk. So, I should instead answer the better question – Why should you listen to me? Read more
