Affiliate Marketing - Using Product Recommendations To Increase Your Bottom Line

In online marketing, there are many ways in which you can raise your profits and maintain the account that you have worked so hard for already. Most of the strategies and methods can be learned easily.

One of the most important ways of increasing your online marketing income is through the use of product reviews. Most marketers know that this is one of the most effective ways in promoting a certain product.

If the customers or visitors trust you, then they will trust your recommendations. Be very careful in using this approach, though. If you start promoting everything by recommendation, your credibility will actually wear thin. This is seen especially when recommendations are seemingly exaggerated and without much merit.

Do not be afraid to comment on things that you do not necessarily like about a given product or service. Rather than lose any points for you, this will make your testimonial more realistic and will tend to increase your credibility.

Furthermore, if your visitors are really interested in what you are offering, they will be more than delighted to learn what is good about the product, what is not so good, and how the product will benefit them.

When you are recommending a certain product, there are some things to remember on how to make it work effectively and for your advantage. Sound like the true and leading expert in your field.

Remember this simple equation: Price resistance diminishes in direct proportion to trust. If your visitors feel that you are an expert in your niche, then they will be more comfortable making a purchase. On the other hand, if you are not exuding any confidence and self-assurance in endorsing your products, they will probably feel that same way and will go in search of another product or service which is more believable.

How do you establish this aura of expertise? By offering unique and new solutions they would not get anywhere else. Show proof that what you are promoting works as promised. Display relevant testimonials and endorsements from respected and known personalities, in related fields of course. Avoid hype at all costs. It is better to sound low key and confident, than to scream and seek attention. You would not want to sound unprofessional to your potential customers and clients. Best to appear cool and self-assured at the same time.

And remember, prospects are not stupid. They are always turning to the experts and may already know the things that you know. If you back up your claims with hard facts and data, they would gladly put down hundreds, or even thousands of dollars to your promotions. But if you don’t, they will look at your competitors and what they are offering.

While recommending a product, it is also important that you give out promotional freebies. People are already familiar with the concept of offering freebies to promoting your own products. But very few people do this to promote affiliate products. Try to offer freebies that can promote or even have some information about your products or services.

Before you add suggestions to you product, it is always a good idea to try and test the product and support yourself. Do not run the risk of promoting junk products and services. Just think how long it took you to build credibility and trust among your visitors. All that will take to ruin it is one big mistake on your part.

If possible, have recommendations of products that you have 100% confidence in. Test the product support before you begin to promise that the people you are referring it to would not be left high and dry when problems suddenly appear.

Have a look at your online market and look at the techniques you are using. You may not be focused on the suggestions that your products should have. Your plan of action is sometimes not the only thing that is making your program work.

Try product endorsements and be among those few who have proven its worth.

How To Monetize Your Blog More Effectively

So you've done the hard work...you've chosen the niche market that you are going to target, you've created the content that they'd be interested in, you've implemented your on-page and off-page search engine optimization and finally you've managed to establish your blog in it's market and are being rewarded by a steady flow of traffic from the search engines and other sources.

Now - Your BIG question is -

"How do you convert this steady flow of traffic into money"?

You will no doubt already be trying certain methods, an AdSense ad here and an affiliate link there, for example, but there's something new that I wanted to tell you about.

This "something new" will do three things for your blog:

1. It will instantly make it more profitable.

2. It will give it more keyword rich content pages which will give it more search engine rankings which will increase that "steady flow of traffic" and make it even more profitable.

3. It will give it another dimension further distinguishing it from its competitors whilst enhancing your visitors experience.

So what is this "something new"?

It's a clever piece of software called Build A Niche Store and what it does is enable you to instantly build an affiliate store made up of eBay's products and matched to your target niche.

This means that if you have a Golf blog, with Build A Niche Store you will be able to add all of eBay's golf products to it, and if you have an Antiques blog then you will be able to add all of eBay's antique items...you get the idea.

You simply install the script, choose your niche, press build and you automatically have your own niche specific affiliate store which updates automatically (Yes - NO data feeds!) and which:

1. Will generate money for you when one of your blog visitors buys an item through it.

2. Will give your blog hundreds or thousands (depending on your niche) content rich product pages which will get indexed in the search engines targeting keywords you would otherwise not be reaching.

3. Will add a shopping experience for your visitors.

It's truly a great piece of software and looks set to become all the rage in the coming year.

You can check out the official Build A Niche Store website where you'll find case studies and a live demo which is sure to get your creative juices flowing at the link below.

This one gets my thumbs up!
