Affiliate Marketing - Use An Autoresponder To Increase Sales

As an affiliate marketer you need to set yourself apart from all
the other affiliates who may be vying for the same prospects.

This is particularly true in some of the most hotly contested
markets such as internet marketing, poker sites, dating and the
like.

So how does an Affiliate set themselves apart, or better yet,
above the competition so as to create more sales?

They do it by using an Autoresponder to collect the names and
email addresses of their prospects.

Simply sending people to your Affiliate page is not enough to
create sales. Depending on your market there may be several
hundred, if not thousands, of other affiliates using the same
pages.

What makes you believe that someone seeing the same page for the
hundredth time is going to make them want that product any more
than the tenth time?

The key is to offer a special report that focuses on how the
particular product can solve a problem or fill a need that the
prospect may have.

A simple title like "The 5 Proven to succeed as an Affiliate" on a special report that leads to an opt-in
page to an autoresponder will greatly increase your prospect
list.

Then take each of those five different aspects that you touched
on in the report and break them down even further using each one
as a separate follow up email to those that downloaded the
special report.

Have each email going out every other day for the first two weeks
and you have an automatic sales person working for you hands
free.

By staying in constant contact with your prospects you build a
sense of familiarity and trust with your list members. People
like to buy from someone they know rather than a complete
stranger.

These autoresponders can be set up for any niche imaginable.

An easy way to find material for your special report and
autoresponder series is right on the sales page for the product
you are promoting. Read through it and find the best sales points
then combine them into a short report.

Another great way to find info is to just do a search through
your favorite search engine, gather some facts from several
different sites and rewrite them into your report.

Always remember though not to just copy someone else's work. That
is plagiarism and is illegal. But with a little so called leg
work you can quickly compile enough info to keep your prospects
coming back, build rapport and eventually grab the sale!
