The average salesletter gets around 2% conversion. That means 98 out of ever 100 people you send to the site will NOT buy. What happens to those folks? They either walk away empty-handed never to be seen again, or they join the list and get a variety of offers presented to them. Either way, it's not going to help you in the long run.
That's a LOT of wasted effort, isn't it? You're looking at a relatively small payday for your investment of time and money in getting visitors to click thru your affiliate link.
Fortunately, there's a better way. A much better way.
And that is key #1: "capture the subscriber first".
Here's the better way to promote your affiliate link...
1) Setup a list at your site.
This can be to give away a free report, publish a regular newsletter, offer a mini-course (like
the one you're reading), share articles, etc. It can be anything you want. Just make sure it's..
A. Desirable information that would attract subscribers.
B. Highly related to the offer you're promoting as an affiliate.
After you have your list setup and in place, do this...
2)Promote your list INSTEAD of your affiliate link.
Your primary objective should be to build YOUR list instead of someone else's. That way YOU
can promote offers to them over and over again long-term.
3) Redirect them to your affiliate link.
Setup your list to redirect the new subscriber to a "thank you" page that confirms their
subscription and notifies them to check their email for the first issue/lesson/download link, etc.
Include a bold link that reads "Click Here To Continue." That bold link should be your affiliate
link!...
