4 Tips to maximize commissions in affiliate marketing

Most Content Creators have struggles in generating their income in the Affiliate Program, even when they have shared a lot of affiliate links, or made reviewing videos day by day. Here are some tips Ecomobi team has concluded to support Influencers to improve their incomes.

1. Item for promoting

Pick the items that you love

It is extremely important to pick items that you care about and that you’re excited for, because you’ll find it’s much easier to sell something that you genuinely believe is an amazing product. If your item you feel trashy or a waste of time and money, then you can bet that your sales pitch is going to lack the oomph that it needs.

Pay Attention to Product Conversion Data

When it comes to picking the right affiliate marketing product to promote, one of your most important parameters is the earning per click (EPC) number.

Choosing the items that give you the higher EPC will increase your income significantly. Especially, the items with high EPC mostly will come from Brands in the Brand Bonus segment.

2. Create content

Why is content important to affiliate marketing? Well, for the same reason, it’s important to marketing overall. The role of content marketing is really to help your audience make the right choice for them, based on the information you provide at the stage of the customer journey they’re currently at.

Here are some types of contents Influencers can consider:

• • Product reviews: Honestly, an authentic review is something people will appreciate. And if you’ve already built trust with your followers, they’re probably more likely to act on it than on the brand’s communication alone. Don’t forget to include your actual experiences with the product or service you recommend, plus also focus on the features and characteristics they’ll find helpful. 
  • Product comparisons: Comparing similar products – their features, prices, and user benefits is also helpful for the people who are confused about choosing an ideal item and need advice from a third party to make their purchase decision. The best thing in this method is that you can actually include several affiliate links of different items. You don’t have to point to one product as the winner if you don’t want to. Instead, you can talk about the pros and cons of the different products for different needs and business types.
  • Tutorials: The product or service you’re affiliated with might have a library of their own help resources and tutorials. But creating your own is also a good idea, even if that’s the case. if you have an engaged audience of people who trust your recommendations, they’ll probably be more likely to follow your advice than a brand they might not know yet

3. Timeline for posting

Timelines for posting are important. The frequency of posting will affect if your videos are on fyp or not. Secondly, your consistent contents will make you become an expert in a niche market. Your followers will remember and find you whenever they have intention of making a purchase in the category you focus on. In particular, if you are working on Tiktok, 4 – 5 videos/day will be ideal.

Moreover, focusing on posting on sales days is the best strategy to increase your income. You should not focus on 1 official sales day. Instead, to maximize your commissions, you should share your links 2-3 days before sales day, and then focus more on the sales day.
