Adding Integration Into Your Affiliate Marketing
Mike Paetzold back again for the last day of my visit as part of The Old Bald Guy’s Blog Tour. Hope you have enjoyed my visit and found this information helpful. This week the discussion is affiliate marketing and so far we have discussed…
- Affiliate Marketing – What is it?
- Affiliate Marketing -Tools you need
- Using Content For Your Affiliate Marketing
- Affiliate Marketing with Web 2.0, Podcasts and Video
I will be concluding this series with what is probably the easiest, the most overlooked and maybe even most profitable thing you can do with your affiliate marketing – Integration.
Usually this is talked about primarily in relationship to product owners but affiliates can do it too. You just need to do it during your list building.
If you have your own product or membership site this can be even more powerful but integration usually covers the bulk of my subscriber acquisition costs. Meaning I can spend money to generate subscribers and make it back almost immediately. As growing your list should be your top priority for any affiliate marketer this makes it easy to leverage.
Go check out the affiliate tools that your product owner provides you with. Often they have a rebrandable free report or graphics that you can use to point people to their squeeze system to get a report. That is fine as long as they hard code the subscribers with your affiliate link.
Integration of this type is what makes a program like Clickbank Pirate work so well for affiliates. Use there thank you ads on your thank for subscribing page. You got them on your list and if they sign up there the owners will also promote to them but with your links in the emails.
Here is a sample you can add to your page.
There are membership sites that will give upgraded members a complete squeeze page system to give away a free report and the free report has all of your links in it. You use that report to get people on your list while being provided the pages you need and the follow up email series already completed for you.
I run one that talks about tracking – Tracking Your Way To Profits. It has links for the tracking service I recommend, an autoresponder and a few other progams. You give away a rebranded copy and all those links become yours.
Take advantage of any potentail ad space on your own web pages AFTER you get the subscriber first and your income will increase nicely.
If you have a product this becomes even more valuable but that will be part of a series for another day. Hope you have enjoyed this series and next week I will be moving to Doug and Teri Champigny’s The Marketing Blogzine.

Lonnie Minton´s last blog ..Adding Integration Into Your Affiliate Marketing
Great advice, adding bonuses and recommended products to thank you pages is a good way to get more traffic to those sites
Luca Di Nicola´s last blog ..So Many Deals – So Little Time
Thanks for the great info Mike,
Have been putting affiliate offers on thank you pages and download pages for quite a while now and have noticed that the rate that people take advantage of these offers is much higher in these places.
Also have been using Clickbank pirate myself since it first came out and through using the built-in tracking systems have found that the offers the I put on the thank you and download pages convert between 60-70% where most other ways of getting traffic to them only convert at 10-30%. Obviously a huge difference and one worth taking advantage of.
Have also just started my first membership site so will be testing different offers there as well.
Brett McEllhiney´s last blog ..Niche Site Club 30 Day $1 Trial is Just in Time For Christmas!
So far my focus has been on list building and the free “Bonuses” on my Thank you page are my single best revenue source.
Earl Netwal´s last blog ..What Are The Advantages in Niche Marketing?
Really good post Mike and I like that you have given ideas for expanding your list and possible revenue. Just starting to understand the importance of that list and hope to grow it into the coming year. And showing what the back end can mean is just as important.
