Here’s one idea that you can use right now to go make more affiliate sales this week. This ideas isn’t new, it has been used by many affiliates for years now, but I think many beginner affiliate marketers are not taking full advantage of this.

If you offer a bonus to the customers who purchase a product through your affiliate link, you will stand a much greater chance at securing those commissions rather than letting your competing affiliates get them.

But there are some important points to remember…

  1. Make sure the bonus you are offering is relevant to the product being sold. For example, offering a bunch of PLR ebooks as a bonus for a product which teaches someone how to find a niche market isn’g to go over that well. However, if the product was a PLR package, then a bonus of more PLR ebooks might be a great idea!
  2. Create a quality bonus. Like the last example, potential buyers will notice if you made up a quick last minute bonus offer without taking any time to think about it.
  3. A bonus offer which is unique to you is the best way to go. If the bonus offer you are giving can not be found anywhere else, and it’s a valuable offer, then that is a recipe for many affiliate sales.
  4. Create bonus offers which won’t break your bank. What I mean by this is that you might not want to spend the time putting together a bonus offer for every single product you promote. Decide if it will be worth your time and/or money to do so by calculating how many sales you expect to make and what your commission will be.

If you follow those 4 bonus offer tips, I am sure you will start seeing a lot more success promoting affiliate offers.

Just remember that your bonus should be unique, quality, offer value, and something which the buyers would actually like. :)
