Why failed to sell as an affiliate ?

failed affiliate program
As an affiliate, your task is to market products or services "something". even so, you do not need more "selling". I mean, do not act as a sales market, which only tries to sell it without giving something else.

See more details. Even as an affiliate your job is to sell, but do not just act the extent that, that which is reflected in the mind of an affiliate of mind is just to sell it. But what exactly should you do first is to give information. With so potential customers you will know about things related to your products or services marketed.


Provide information via blogs is a good way. Alternatively it could also for example by giving a free ebook. Maybe you also have an account social networks like facebook page, use it to begin to provide information on your potential customers.

After  the information you give, continue to give the solution. What's the solution? Of course the product or service you market. In providing even this solution, there are things you should look at, that give the best solutions according to customer needs.

If consumers need basic guidance internet business, give a solution to a business guide and not a guide blogging for example.

Then that is important to note also is doing an approach to prospective customers as well as your own towards friends or relatives. So, there you will seek to provide truthful information and the best for them. Even if the product / service you are offering as a solution there are deficiencies, inform as well.

No problem. Sure potential customers you will better appreciate you. Because, in this world nothing is perfect anyway with no shortage at all right?.

When writing a review a product, rather than just copy / paste so I suggest you make your own version of the review. In addition to more unique, a review that also represent your personal experience.

When writing reviews, imagine you write to people close to you, such as family or friends for example. So you will write down the strengths and weaknesses honestly. You simply write the language of everyday conversation without the need to use flowery language. Because it would be easier to understand and will assist them in making decisions.

    As an affiliate, its more like a friend giving information rather than sales. So it was not merely trying to make money, but you start from providing truthful information and convey a powerful solution to solve those problems.

Usually there are three things that made reference by the merchant (owner of the affiliate program) in payment, namely sales, hits, and impressions. Sales mean when someone clicks on a banner or text ads and making purchases on the merchant's website. Hits mean when someone clicks on a banner or text link. Who's impression is the number of someone who sees a link. In percentages, the largest commission merchants usually given from the sales, then the hits and impressions. But please note, not all affiliate programs apply the rules of the commission for the hits and impressions. There is a charge of sale only.
