Boosting Affiliate Income with Email

When most affiliate marketers first get started in the business, they do so because of the hands free appeal. At first glance it looks like affiliate marketing really is the ideal business. You simply send targeted traffic to specific affiliate links, and when sales get made, you make money. You don’t have to build and maintain a website if you don’t want to, you don’t have to deal with customer service or technical support issues, and you don’t have to deal with refunds or fraud complaints either.

Now, all of the above is true. Affiliate marketing can be an almost completely hands free business. What many affiliates find out after a short time, is that by becoming more hands on you can actually skyrocket your affiliate income.

One of the best ways to do this is to begin building an email list.

Building an email list as an affiliate is not that difficult to accomplish.? Simply create? and put an opt-in form on your website or blog. Begin sending traffic to the page or pages where you have your opt-in form instead of directly to your affiliate program link. When people sign up for your email list, you can then start sending them messages which will contain your affiliate links, and if they click those and make a purchase then you’ll get the sales commission. nice work if you can get it!

Many affiliate marketers don’t understand the benefits of creating mailing lists. After all, it just adds more work for them to do, right? Yes, it is a little bit more work, but it can add a whole lot more money to your pocket as well.

You see, as an affiliate marketer, you can choose to promote more than one affiliate product or program. In fact, you can find several affiliate products all related to each other in some way, and promote all of those at once. If you try to promote several affiliate products at once on a website, it can become confusing if it’s not done well.

When you promote them through an email list though, you have essentially “captured” the prospects attention for that particular topic or market. So you can drip feed information and links to them over time. In other words, you might send the first email to them with just one affiliate link in it. Then the second email could have a different affiliate product link, and so on.

You could also send the first 3-5 messages all with the same affiliate link in them, then put a different link in with the next 3-5 messages if you’d like. In fact, there are any number of ways to set this up.

The point though, is that by setting up an email list, you are able to send content to those prospects regularly. Instead of simply pushing them on to one affiliate product page, and possibly never seeing or hearing from them again, you could get repeat sales from them simply by sending email every week or two with new information, and new affiliate resource links.
