How to Sell Affiliate Products In Your Autoresponder Series



You can sell affiliate products a number of different ways, but nothing is more effective than emails sent out to highly targeted opt-in subscribers.

Hopefully by now you have a squeeze set up along with a special offer, everything you need to collect highly targeted email addresses. Your super-targeted list is going to help you bring in much more money over time through the use of affiliate sales. While you can sell affiliate offers anywhere online, you should consider using affiliate marketing in your autoresponder series. This is the only guide you'll ever need for selling more affiliate products through your autoresponder series.

Targeted Offers

If you expect your list to respond positively to your affiliate offers, you'll need offer products that are targeted towards your audience. For example, if you're working within the gardening niche, you might offer your list a set of gardening books or even a beginner's gardening set from Amazon.

Trust

Hopefully by now you've established authority with your list. That's why they signed up with you in the first place, right? It's because your target audience sees you as someone who can solve their problems, whatever those problems might be.

To further establish trust, never push your affiliate offers too early. Start off with autoresponder emails that are useful and informative. The best technique is to offer a series of How-To emails. This can be packaged into a mini-course that comes free along with your free report or video. This increases the value of your overall product and your audience may actually look forward to the emails you send.

If you do your job and establish authority with a how-to, to the effect that your audience looks forward to your communications, just imagine what your audience will do when you send out your affiliate offers. Remember, offer value first and only then pitch your products. You'll have much better conversion rates that way, guaranteed.

Recommend Products

The main thing to keep in mind when you're selling affiliate products to your opt-in list is that you're not selling. Get the word 'Sell' out of your mind. Instead, you are merely 'recommending' products. Think about it. If a professional came up to you and recommended a product based on his own experience, you'd be more willing to buy that product than if that professional shoved it in your face and demanded that you buy it.

By positioning your affiliate emails as recommendations only, your audience will feel much more at ease about your communications, you'll get better click-through rates and your affiliate sales will go through the roof.

These are just some of the 'Tricks 'O the Trade' the experts use to sell more affiliate products to a highly targeted email list. Remember, you've already built your list. The hard part is already done. All you need to do is send out helpful emails, sell softly when you do send out affiliate emails and you'll see amazing results.

To Your Success!
