Harness the Power of Offering
Freebies to Your Affiliate Site's Visitors
Who in his right mind would refuse a freebie? Out of 10
people
you ask, only about one or two will forego a freebie for some strange
reason. The rest will gladly accept it. It's simply a part of
human nature to be appreciative of gifts, particularly useful
ones. This is also something that advertisers and business
owners
understand fully well and thus use to their advantage.
In affiliate marketing, the use of freebies can be especially
beneficial, provided of course, that you understand how to deploy them
strategically. Find out how to use the power of offering
freebies
to your affiliate site's visitors and reap the rewards:
Freebies should be integrated into your marketing campaign
Freebies can be quite powerful as marketing tools for affiliate
marketing. If visitors to your website find that free stuff is
available, they will stick around and be more willing to come back for
more but only if they find it relevant to their needs – the
very
reason they came to visit your website in the first place.
Consider each affiliate marketing campaign you perform and find out how
to use freebies strategically. Just because something is free
doesn’t automatically mean that people will visit your
affiliate
website and grab what you offer. There has to be a relevance
between the freebie and the main product or service you are
promoting.
Let's say your main product is an e-book that teaches the secrets of
the affiliate marketing trade to affiliates. A good freebie
to
offer with this campaign would be a short report on the top 10 mistakes
that affiliates make that cause failure in affiliate
marketing.
Or you could offer a freebie in the form of a script that could help
affiliates track their own stats.
Remember that the power of freebies when offered in affiliate marketing
is only limited to its relevance. The free stuff should be
something that can supplement the main product or enhance its
use. Otherwise, your visitors will simply have no reason to
try
to obtain it.
Offer something better
Just because you're offering freebies to your affiliate site's visitors
doesn’t mean you should allow them to completely ignore your
premium offers. If you let this happen, forget about earning
an
income from your affiliate site.
Remember that all those free stuff you offer are part of your strategy
to attract more visitors and affiliate prospects to your
website.
If you find out later that you're dealing with visitors who are mainly
freeloaders, you might want to rethink your career as an affiliate
marketer and switch to becoming a charitable foundation instead.
Always offer your affiliate site's visitors some form of incentive to
persuade them to purchase, subscribe or sign up for
membership.
Offer a product or service that is considerably better than the freebie
as an alternative. So instead of just providing a link they
can
click to download or obtain your free stuff, you could also say
something like:
"Get our free version now OR buy the premium/complete package for just
$$$. This is a limited offer and will expire soon. ACT NOW!"
By imposing a time restriction, you also impose a sense of urgency and
persuade your affiliate site's visitors that if they want to take
advantage of a better offer, they should act immediately.
This is one power that freebies have over other types of promotions,
which makes them very effective when used in affiliate sites.
Plus, you can even expect a conversion without performing any follow
ups.
Find out the best freebies you can afford.
There is no logic at all to giving away freebies if you have nothing to
gain from it. When affiliate marketers and business owners
offer
free gifts to their site's visitors, it is a carefully crafted strategy
and not just some careless act of generosity.
When you do offer freebies, you have to have something in return, if
not now then at least later. Learn to harness the use of
freebies
for your affiliate site's visitors carefully. It's a proven
strategy and can be a very valuable component of your affiliate
marketing arsenal.
