One Simple Tactic To Boost Your Affiliate Commissions
I’ve been making money with affiliate marketing full time, for 6 years now. But I still remember the days when I used to see people posting huge commission screenshots and thinking to myself ‘how in the world do they do that!?!’
The good news for you is that I can easily remember the ONE thing that boosted my affiliate commissions.
So let me tell you about it, and also how you can use this simple mindset to boost your own affiliate commissions.
The thing with being an affiliate, is that there is usually lots of affiliates all promoting the same item. This is more true if the product is hot or has already been gathering lots of momentum. But if it’s a hot product, then you want to get in on it too, and make some good commissions, right?
So here is the mindset you will need to have:
If someone sees 10 other affiliate offers for the exact same product – why would they come back and buy from your affiliate link?
Do you see where I am going? You need to be special in the crowd. You need to stand out and be remembered. But how do you do this?
The answer is that you need to increase the value of the product which you are promoting.
First of all, never just send the buyer to your affiliate link, and have them land on the sales page. This is the same thing that everyone else is doing and there is no reason for the buyer to come back and click on your affiliate link.
If you do this, and you make a sale, then you are LUCKY to get that sale. And good consistent affiliate commissions are not built on luck. They are built on strategy.
Remember, people are always interested in what they get. So let them know when they buy from your affiliate link, they get more.
One way you can do this, is to offer more related items to the buyer. A lot of people think they are already doing this by offering a bonus item. And yes, that is one way of doing it, but it only makes sense if your bonus has a lot of value with it.
I see a lot of people mess this up, by offering crappy bonus items, and then saying ‘when you buy this product, you get an extra $3,842 of bonus item free’. That is rubbish and people know it. Show me where this bonus item is on sale for $3,842!
So if you offer a bonus item, make sure it is relevant, and make sure it is quality. And make sure that you can PROVE it is a quality item.
Although this is simple to do, it is also very easy to mess this up. If you get it wrong, you can kiss goodbye to all of your affiliate commissions for this promotion.
I actually show you an example, and a step by step plan to set this up properly, inside ‘Affiliate Justice’, because so many affiliates were asking me for it.
But remember the basic strategy. There are a lot of other affiliates all promoting the same item as you. Your aim is to make sure you stick in the buyers mind. If you can do that one thing, your affiliate commissions will take a massive boost, overnight.

Hey Condrut, I’ve read this guy’s sales page (it’s very long) but he doesn’t say who he is – only signs himself as A.J.
There are some recognisable sales tactics and phraseology which, to my mind sounds like many other guru type sales letters. But this guy slates the gurus (nothing new there) whilst reminding me of those he says he loathes!
Although there is the usual money back guarantee with this ebook, I don’t want to spend ‘time’ on this if it is a ‘me too’ load of dead ends like we have all seen before.
Forgive my schepticism but I sense a certain deja vu moment just now (although | maybe wrong).
What’s the story here and who is this person?

why not e-mail AJ yourself?
he doesn’t want to reveal his name, it’s OK… some people love the products, others don’t.
what’s the big deal anyway about the name?

I need to know who wrote the ebook because a) I may already have some of his already published work which is probably similar to this, B) some ‘guru’ types I have learned to distrust, is this one of them?
Having confidence in who we learn from is essential in any area of leaning. IM is no different.
