Promoting Someone Else's Product As An Affiliate

Sometimes you come across those business questions that just have you stumped or slow down your progress. Personally, this has happened to me, especially when I was just starting my online marketing business. Within this article I'm going to answer two of the questions I had about affiliate marketing, hoping to help you with your business success.

First question:

What is the best way to promote that you are an affiliate of?

There are a variety of methods that you can use to promote someone else's product as an affiliate. Doing a solo email campaign can be effective. Two very effective ways is also using teleseminars and videos. When you really think about it, the list is endless on just how you could actually promote.

You want to find the method that will have the best impact or response from your list. Personally, I like to do use teleseminars because it enables people to have interaction and allows you to really get across the value of the product you are promoting. Using video can allow you to have this option to and people respond very well to videos because they feel more intimate than an email. Videos are something I use for almost every promotion I do.

Another thing you might want to think about is sticking to promoting products that you have bought, used or received value from yourself. I make sure I do this only because that is the only way I would be able to give my evaluation and honest opinion of the product.

If I am going to promote a product that I haven't even seen or used, how could I really give a recommendation for it? You'll find that it will sometimes put you in an awkward situation if you don't know anything about the product but are promoting it. This helps too when it comes to the promotion because it is much easier and more convincing to say, "Hey, I've used this product. Look at what it did for my business, I really think it will help you this way." You stand out more as an affiliate and create a much stronger pitch then just saying, "Hey, saw this new product, I think you should go get it."

As you can see there are a lot of different methods you can use when promoting other people's products. Find what works best for you and I recommend actually having personal experience someway with the product.

Next question:

When someone has an attractive list for what you are trying to sell, what would be a good percentage to offer that person?

It depends. Affiliates and JV partners, naturally, they are going to want to be able to get as much as they can and the more you give the more an incentive it is for them, the more they want to promote. Likewise, you have to look at your profitability. In some cases, you cannot afford to give away massive amounts of your revenue because it does not make sense when you are looking at the product cost, the time cost and that nature.

Just try to maximize it as much as you can because you will generate more interest from you affiliates and JV partners the larger their commission is.
