How To Create Multiple Commissions From Single Affiliate Sales

While there are a wide variety of different techniques you can deploy to be successful with affiliate marketing. The principle will always be the same – Attract visitors to your affiliate offer and try to convert them to buyers.

When the conversion happens, you get a cut of the action in the form of a commission. If there are back end sales on the product, you may also get a cut of that action as well. Better still if the back end sale is a membership offer, then you might even get some recurring monthly commissions for a while.

Now that’s the end of the payment cycle for that buyer, as far as you are concerned as the affiliate right? Well, yes this does seem to be the case for most affiliate marketers. Fine, if the buyer was actually on one of your lists when you promoted the affiliate product to him. Because you will be able to promote to him again.

What if the buyer was not on your list. Perhaps he arrived at your affiliate offer as a result of your pay per click campaign. Or he found your review page on Google. Maybe he clicked on one of your banners, or classified ads. He could have arrived at the offer as a result of some offline strategy you were using. Or he clicked on your ad you purchased on some ezines. Fact is, he could have arrived at your affiliate offer in numerous different ways, all depending on what methods you use. Now you have gained a commission and perhaps even a back end sale, but that’s where it most likely ends for you. If this is the case, you are missing out on one of the most lucrative affiliate marketing opportunities to come your way.

Some one who has just made a purchase of a product through your affiliate link is highly likely to purchase again and again in the future. All you have to do is go grab him and get him on your list. Firstly, always try and ensure that any affiliate program you are promoting supplies the email address of buyers within the stats they provide you with. You can select from lots of high paying affiliate programs at paydotcom.com and always get every buyers email address. Many other affiliate platforms do this as standard. Yet, most affiliate marketers never take advantage of this fact.

You should be keeping track of all buyers email addresses and what affiliate products they purchased. You should setup a different squeeze page with a free thank you download gift for every affiliate product you are promoting. You should make sure the free gift enhances the affiliate product being promoted if possible for maximum benefit. Add your email list signup form on your squeeze page. Asking for first name and email address only is best. Now simply ensure that you email all those buyers shortly after they have made their purchase. Thank them and let them know that you have a free thank you gift, or free bonus gift waiting for them and give them the url of your squeeze page.

Obviously to get their gift they will have to sign up to your list. As soon as they are on your list, hit them with a welcome email and if you can manage it give them another gift. You are now building up lists of real buyers. Look after them well and you will have continually growing, highly responsive lists at your disposal. This is the simplest way of ensuring that you are getting the maximum possible cimmissions for every affiliate sale you achieve. Why settle for just one sale when you can multiply your sales and commissions over and over again!
