3 Affiliate Click Getting Tips that Always Work
There are two types of affiliate marketers. A few “select” can get people click on their links [and spend money with them], while the rest hope it would happen [and in 9 out of 10 cases, it won't...]
Which one are you?
Do you know how to get readers click on your affiliate links more often?
Can you do that without sounding desperate or hype?
Most wannabe affiliates are using the regular “click here”, “check this out” or “download this product” call to action.
We live in a world full of contrasts. If everybody else is using the same methods to getting clicks, do you think it’ll work forever?
How do you stand out in the crowd? How do you make sure you get the click, and not your competitors?
Today, we run in a very competitive world. And the Internet is fiercer. You win, or you lose.
Everywhere you look around you’ll see your message [call to action] swimming in a pool full of other “me too” messages.
Whenever you send out a Twitter alert, an email to your list, a blog post to your readers, or whatever, your message to get the click can’t stand on its own, unless it’s remarkable.
If you want people click your links and spend money with you, follow these three simple affiliate click getting tips:
#1 – Get out of the “me too” circle
Avoid using standard call to action formulas. Stand out in the crowd. There’s no other option.
#2 – Write RED messages
A RED message is what I call a “STOP and CLICK ME” call to action. Let me give you an example
Awhile ago I submitted an article to EzineArticles database and had this call to action at the bottom
“You might want to check out these 127 winning advertising headlines.”
The call to action [hyperlinked text] was … 127 winning advertising headlines
There’s no “click here”, “download now”, or “check this out” clickable words in there.
#3 – Spy your competitors
Some of the best call to action messages that brought me a ton of clicks and made more money than before were those that I “learned” from my competitors.
Your competitors don’t have to be in the same niche or industry as you are. I usually like to go out there in totally non related niches, and spy on how other professionals are writing their emails and call to action messages. Then I adapt them to my own marketing.
How about you? How do you get the click?
Post your comments right away, your feedback counts!
P.S. In upcoming post, I talk about an affiliate “breakthrough” that helps newbies go from $0 to $300, and from $300 to $3,000… without AdWords! Stay tuned!
This is so accurate it's not funny. Even when you run a brick and mortar business if you have competitors (and who doesn't) you need to stand out from the crowd in some way. If you do everything the same way as everybody else, what distinguishes you? Why should they do business with you? when you use something different like you are suggesting, just the fact that it is different will cause people to sit up and take notice and act in some cases. In the other cases, the fact that your call to action either requires them to do something, or gives them a good idea of how their action will benefit them, it is much more likely to stir up some action on their part.

Great advice as usual Codrut. I regularly sign up to lists just to see what subject lines make me want to open the message and then try those out myself.
