Who Says Affiliates Can't Use Joint Ventures To Make Money?
Copyright © 2006 Anik Singal
This is a technique I teach almost every day. Yet
almost no
affiliate marketers are currently using it!
The trick is so interesting that you’ll learn how to
actually make money off of your
competitors.
Here's how it works:
Step One: Create an "Upsell."
An Upsell is simply a more expensive product or service
that you
offer to your current customers. One of the best
Upsells is a service that simplifies a complex process.
Examples would be installing and running
software,
providing tutorials or providing consultation.
Here's an example: Let's say you've got a niche web site on
resume writing. You promote a resume writing EBook or audio
tape
program. Your commission on each sale is $20, and
you've already sold 35 copies, so you've earned $700.
But even if someone buys a resume writing
book, they won't
necessarily get around to actually WRITING their resume!
Some may procrastinate and others may just be too anxious.
So an
excellent - and lucrative - Upsell would be a resume
writing service. You offer this to the people who buy the
book. But instead of making $20 per sale, you
can charge
much, much more - let's say $350 for a custom resume.
Even if only 2 people purchase this Upsell, you'll make as
much money on
those two sales as you did selling 35 copies
of the EBook. Nice? Yes.
Now go on to Step Two - which is where the REAL money gets
made!
Step Two: JV to sell your Upsell!
Now here's the part that most affiliates, especially in
niche markets, never think about. They fail to
recruit
solid JV partners once they've developed their own backend
Upsells.
Once you've developed your upsell, contact all the
websites
that you initially looked to as competitors and offer them
marketing material to help them make more money. You’ll be
amazed at how quickly
they jump on.
In the example of the resume EBook, you can even contact
other affiliates who are selling that product. Yes - your
competitors!
Find anyone selling an EBook about writing
resumes and ask them to backend your Upsell.
They don’t have to worry about you taking their
business
because they are not offering your service until the person
has actually bought the EBook through their link already!
So, get creative and learn how to
double your income by
simply profiting from the traffic you already have. Create
your own high-end products and sell them to those who buy
though your Affiliate link.
Better yet, hunt down your competitors
and ask them to do
the same.
