Effective Methods of Selling Affiliate Products

One of the easiest and fastest ways of making money online is by selling other people's products (affiliate products). These products must be seen by those who need or want to buy them before you can sell and make money from them. In this article, I will show you 3 effective and reliable methods of making sales as an affiliate.

Targeted Traffic

Drive targeted traffic to your affiliate product
The higher the flow of targeted traffic to your affiliate link, the higher the chances of making sales and more money because the product you are promoting will get more exposure to your potential buyers and this can be effectively achieved through Google and Bings ads.

Product quality

The product you are promoting must be of high quality.
If the product you are promoting is of high standard, that is, it gives value or solves your customers ‘problems, the chances are that demand for that product will increase and the possibility of refund will be eliminated because those who have bought it will recommend it to other people.


Reader trust

You must do something that will make the readers of your blog or website trust you.
How trustworthy you are to the readers of the content of your website or blog will determine your affiliate success. If the content of your blog or website gives value to your readers, they will always be willing and ready to buy whatever you recommend to them on your website or blog through your affiliate link.



In conclusion, if you apply those 3 methods of targeted traffic, product quality and reader trust, you will definitely make a lot of sales.

A blog post is one of the best ways to market your affiliates. You can employ your powers of persuasion to tell people exactly what the product is and why it’s so awesome. It’s your opportunity to really sell the product. You can tell your readers how the product helped you, how it will help them and what you love about it

You can make your own mini ads for your affiliate products, or use the images provided. Put them into your blog post and in the sidebar of your site.
This works best with limited time offers and deals that attract attention, however you can use them for other things.

For example, you could add a banner for your product in your sidebar or within your product related content. It’s relevant, so people might click on it and sign up.

What if you did not actually use the product not to talk of knowing how it works?

You have made a valient point,in addition most people see ads this days as a burden,I personally dislike ads even when I know the products is good,as long as it comes as an ad I will avoid it. So one needs to channel more on advertising the products through profitable social media like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. This site provides good avenue to aid product marketing.

Email marketing is a good way of marketing your affiliate products. Although, it is not easy to compile emails of people but there ways to achieve it, you can use a rewards system where you offer free services like free ebooks with the conditions that people would get it through their emails. So when they submit their emails and get the ebooks, you continue with marketing your products via quality and attractive contents.

Affiliate products are easy to sell because the owners already advertised them and you are their sales person. The only thing is for you to know the product so that you can promote it to different people and what I know is that you must be using it to be an example and a better advertising agent of the product.

There are several ways to promote affiliate products and of course make lot of money or monthly basis. One of the methods in which you can use to promote a product is social Media campaign. You can also use your YouTube channel to promote your affiliate products and of course make some money. You can also make money through quora, I think the platform itself does not allow affiliate links so you have to learn the tricks in which you can use to promote your products.

Yeah obviously if you want to sell your products or items officially on websites or in market so you can make your own website on page and you cancel it very easily by making small links and sending to the groups and the people living around you because most of the people are doing like this they are selling affiliate products through small and special official links and people visit and they like to buy the products officially websites this is really great process we can also take help of advertisement like advertisement is really profitable because just because of advertisement we get profit and money e along with feedback of people who are buying in purchasing or products.

Thanks for sharing the great info with us. I will have to bookmark this page for future reference. I think most effective way of promoting affiliate products is to build list of loyal subscribers first. Once you have list of loyal subscribers in your niche and build relationship with them, you can then market at affiliate products to them from time to time. To build list fast you have to use paid traffic.

According to my own point of view the most effective method of selling affiliate marketing is for you to have good products this is because, once you have done a little marketing of your product people have test to prove that if the product is not very good customers will run away but if your product is a legit and very good product people will come and customers will invite more customers to you. And also you need trust you need to do things that will make your customers trust you in order for them to continue patronizing you

You should actually use the product!

You should take pictures or video of you using the product to build trust and show that you know the product.

If you don't use the product and don't have pictures or video to prove it, you look like an affiliate spammer. Your content is not going to convert into many affiliate sales.

How you sell affiliate products successfully will depend on what products you sell. Firstly I would pick affiliate products you are comfortable selling. You want to promote products which will be beneficial for the buyer. There are many scammy products such as binary option schemes which you should avoid. If possible I would pick products with a money back guarantee such as as 14 or 30 day money back guarantee. This gives reassurance to the buyer.

You could pick physical products or non-physical products such as an ebook delivered online. The commission payments are much lower on physical products (for example they could be 5% compared to 50% on non-physical products). Amazon and commission junction both have affiliate schemes where you can sell physical products. Therefore if you want to sell physical products then you need to bear in mind how much commission you are making on each sale and whether it is worth it.

If you sell affiliate information products then you want a pick a niche where there is a large pool of potential buyers. Popular niches include dating and relationships, health and fitness, personal development and making money.

You need to be careful about where you find the affiliate products to promote. You want to pick high quality products. Some marketplaces have a better reputation than others. For example clickbank has a better reputation than clicksure. You need to do some proper research into the product such as looking at screenshots about the product, check any reviews or even contact the product author. You might even want to buy the product and then you could do a product review such as reviewing the product on a youtube video.

It is best to pick an affiliate product which has tools such as email copy and banners. You can contact the product authors (or their support team) for help about promoting the product. What would make your ads stand if you make adjustments such as create your own banners. This is especially important if the affiliate products is marketed by a large number of marketers.

When you have decided what the products you want to promote then you need to know how to generate the traffic. How successful you are at selling affiliate products boils down to how successful you are at generating traffic. You can use both free and paid traffic methods. Free methods could include forum marketing and posting videos on youtube. Paid methods could include facebook advertising, solo ads and advertising on bing. You need to make sure whether you are allowed to advertise on the platform. For example facebook does not allow any ads for health products to show “before-and-after” images. Other products such as dating or real money gambling is only allowed with prior written permission from Facebook.

If you are using paid methods then you need to test and make sure that what you return from sales is greater than the cost of advertising. Facebook advertising can be very expensive and so you need to make sure that you use the correct targeting.

If you are trying to sell affiliate products you want to to study someone who is successfully promoting the product or something similar and try to find out what methods they are using. It is a great help to learn from people who are very successful in affiliate marketing. One of them is Sarah Staar. She is offering a free five part video course about generating traffic to a affiliate offer.
