Many people are hesitant to purchase the products from the affiliate merchant they represent. I must confess I do not really understand that point of view. My question would be why pay for affiliate products when you can get them for free.
So how do you do that?
When I first started with affiliate marketing it was common to see the sales pitch "sell 3 and yours is free" and this made a lot of sense to me. For example, you only need to sell three for your product to be free, if a product cost $30 and you made $10 on each sale.
Many membership type of affiliate programs still base their affiliate commissions around this concept. For example, you could be in a profit mode on your third sale, if a hosting program cost $25 a month and you earn $10 on the sale.
Purchasing the affiliate products you want to sell and learning everything about them is a good strategy to take. Then go create a web page where you pre sell and review the product for you website visitor.
This gives you a tremendous advantage over the other affiliates you are competing with. They are not going to do this therefore they are sending their prospects directly to a affiliate sales page or a landing page.
If you do not have enough confidence in the product to purchase it, how can you expect your website visitors to do the same? In reality you really can't, therefore you are not going to make a lot of sales on that product.
At the very least until I have earned enough commissions to cover the cost of the affiliate product I purchase I will promote it. This is just smart business and another way to keep your monthly overhead costs down.
I am always on the lookout for good affiliate products to purchase and you should be too! Often times these products become some of my best sellers. I can more than cover the cost of the product in the income I generate on the backend selling it as an affiliate.
In summary work hard at making your business pay for itself. As an affiliate marketer become your best customer and learn everything about the product before you try to sell it.
If you take this approach your affiliate products will never cost you any money and at the very least you will get them for free.
