Earn More Affiliate Commissions

You can earn more affiliate commissions, and I’m going to show you some really cool ways to do that.

Well, actually, I won’t be showing you that, today.

But I’m going to introduce you to a blogging authority who will.

You see, I’ve asked fellow blogger and internet marketer, Enstine Muki, to step up to the podium and take you inside his world of earning affiliate commissions right on your blog.

When I first thought of raising this topic, I immediately thought of Enstine, because I know he’s pretty much an expert in this area.

When you visit his blog, you’ll immediately notice that it is heavy with information about making money blogging.

So, I know you’re in good hands on the topic of how to earn more affiliate commissions with Enstine.

Just to fill you in a tiny bit on his back story, Enstine is from Douala in Cameroon. He brags about being a happy dad and husband since 2008, and I think that’s pretty cool.

He’s been working online since 2005, creating websites and web applications, so he’s a product creator first, an affiliate marketer second.

So, enough for the introductions, let’s get down to Enstine’s tips that will help you earn more affiliate commissions.

Over to you, Enstine!

It’s another year and I’m so excited to be here with Donna 😉

I know we are all set for a beautiful and more successful year ahead of us.

No one prays to fail 😉 What’s terrible though is that even the wicked prays to succeed in his wickedness. That’s life!

The only thing that will secure your success this year is the right action.

It’s not just taking action.

It’s taking the right action.

Any action you take will generate corresponding results;

  • The right action -> the right results
  • The wrong action -> the wrong results

One of the things we want this year (for those of us who want to make money with our blogs) is to be able to make more money.

As a matter of fact, there are so many ways to make money as a blogger.

I remember in the past, I wrote an article on my blog on 15 different ways bloggers make money.

If you want to really know more ways to generate income online as a blogger, you may want to check that post out.

Today, I want to lay emphasis on one of these ways and share some beautiful tips that have proven to work for me. In fact, I’m still using them with exceptional results.

Let’s talk about Affiliate Marketing.

3 Little known tricks to earn more affiliate commissions

Affiliate Marketing is a beautiful money making activity on the Internet. It’s simply promoting others products, making sales and earning commissions.

So many bloggers are making a lot of money from this exercise and as Internet Marketer and product creator, it’s my second source of income online.

You can actually focus on this and make it full time business.

Yes. Affiliate Marketing can generate a six-figure income for you consistently.

Also, check out these 4 Essential Steps of Affiliate Blogging by Donna

So here are some 3 smart ways for you to make more affiliate sales from your blog and earn more commissions:

1 – Get a unique coupon code from product creator

This is one of the smartest things to do to highly boost sales but I see it not really exploited by many bloggers.

I have worked with many product creators who are willing to generate custom codes uniquely for my readers.

To make it even better, these discount codes are tagged to my affiliate account. That means even without using my affiliate link, once my unique discount code is used, I get the commission.

If you come across a product you want to promote, find out from the creator if his sales platform is flexible enough to generate a unique discount code for you to share with your readers.

Your readers will trust you more for negotiating a special discount (not found elsewhere) for them and if this helps them save considerably, they will…

•    Use your discount code to buy the product
•    Share your code with loved ones and friends. This may ignite a viral effect and you know how those sales can start accumulating.

2 – Add your own value to the product

Here is another excellent thing for you to do to make more sales.

People love bonuses added to the products you promote on your blog.  If you can add a bonus, there is surely going to be an increase in sales.

I have done this with a great deal of success.

My readers who buy from me end up getting a free copy of CashDonator or some free credits into their BroadedNet account.

This not only helps me make more affiliate commissions. It also helps me promote my products.

Now I know not everyone of us is a product creator.

You may be saying to yourself  “I don’t have a product.”

Well, a very possible option is Private Label Rights products. All you have to do is buy PRL products that are closely related to the product you promote and give out as bonuses.

The more value you have in your bonuses, the more you stand to make sales and earn commissions.

3 – Invite the product creator over to your blog

I did this once and got impressive results.

It’s going to be one of the main features on my blog this year so I encourage it fully.

What happens is you invite product creators to your blog and do an in-depth product based interview. Try as much as possible not to make it a traditional blog interview.

It has to be focused on selling the product through bringing out its values  – focus more on uses and how they help solve problems.

Don’t just end the interview without getting a special gift for your readers from the product creator.  This may be a special price reduction or unique bonus product from the product creator that’s only available on your blog.

Here is the whole point…

If you are promoting any affiliate product on your blog, you have to make it different from others.

Everyone else is promoting the same product so why should someone buy from you? By making it a special package that’s unique to your blog, you get more buyers.

Now, there are different ways you can use your blog to do Affiliate Marketing – banners, product reviews, text links.

As the owner of your blog, you will have to know which of these generates the best results.

Don’t just paste banners because you think they are beautiful or simply because you found them on a friend’s blog.

We are all different and our readers certainly think differently.

Test things out to find out what works best for you and focus on it.

Banners have their limits as I point out in this post.

You have to think outside of the box to turn them into a real income magnet.

Think about your readers first.

As affiliate marketers and bloggers, we must not forget that our readers are the most important things we have.

Whether we are placing a banner or reviewing a product that pays once off or recurring commission, we must think of our readers first.

The product we want to advertise must attract their attention.

It must be valuable and relevant.

If we miss this point of relevancy, we completely fail.

Your Blog Is A Sales Funnel

    HI Donna,

    You out did yourself again with a fantastic guest writer. Hi Enstine….it is so good to learn from you. I have a notebook that I take notes in when I come to Donna’s site as she teaches me sooo much. I think the three tips you shared for affiliate commissions make total sense and I am going to put them to great use this year with the personal campaigns that I am creating for the products I am getting ready to promote. Thanks for sharing such awesome information.

    I do have one question pertaining to requesting a coupon discount code. Is this allowed if you are using a company affiliate through a broker such as shareasale or the other websites for finding affiliate companies to work with? Thanks again for such a great article.

    Donna – I wanted to personally thank you also for visiting me and becoming such a great genuine person to connect with. You are a fantastic teacher. I am lucky to have connected with you my friend.

      Hi Irish,

      Glad you enjoyed this post with my awesome guest Enstine. I’m not sure of the answer to the question you have asked him. But I will let him know.

      Your words touched my heart when you said I was a fantastic teacher and that you take notes when you come to visit me.

      That inspires me so much to keep on giving the best value I can on each and every post I write.

      I want you to know that I am so happy to have connected with you too my dear.

    Thanks Donna for bringing this article to us from Enstine. I might not have known about him. He brought some great tips to affiliate marketing which most of us never think of. I like his ideas and more so the coupon discount code. Inviting the creator of the product tops the cake with icing.

    Great article Donna. I did not know Enstine.
    I especially like the idea of inviting the product creator for an in-depth review on the product.
    Coupons can really be a good way to generate more sales, a great incentive.
    Offering a discount code and I can see would be of interest to everyone.

    Thanks for sharing

      Also coupons can be of good use to generate sales. But most of all I like the idea of inviting the product creator to do a hang out for more of an in depth view.

    Good Tips Enstine!

    Promoting those products which you have already used and impressed with it is the best thing in my opinion. Writing false reviews just for the sake to sale is not good.

    Adding value for your reader is what every affiliate marketer should do. Good post. Enjoyed reading!

    Hi Donna and Enstine,
    3 great tips ..
    Affiliate Marketing can really be exciting if you treat it with respect. Meaning, just don’t slap an affiliate link on your blog and think that’s it … promote it. But make sure you KNOW and use the product. Great tips Enstine, and a great Guest Donna…

      Oh yes…it is so important to make sure you know and use the product before you even think about offering it.

      It is quite exciting Lesly as you say “as long as you treat it with respect.”

      This is the only way affiliate marketing can work from the beginning. Thanks for mentioning that one!

    Hi Enstine, and welcome to Donna’s blog 🙂

    Sorry! I’m late but what a treat, Donna,to see Enstine here this time 🙂

    Oh yes, Enstine does magic with money, and he comes up with great tips and tricks. Enstine, you’re right that it’s all about taking the right action, just like making the right choice. Now, sometimes that can be a bit difficult or tricky.

    I agree with the 3 smart ways presented in this post. I also realized the hard way that a unique coupon code is a must, because the links by themselves may not really work for you if the user has clicked on someone else’s link before and hasn’t cleared the cache after that, isn’t it?

    Definitely, adding your own goodies is a great way to attract and help the readers. Inviting the product creator too is a great tip and followed by your lessons on how to make the reader more important and how to go about promoting the affiliate. All makes good sense, and why not since it is coming from you. 🙂

    Thanks for having over Enstine to share his wisdom with us, Donna. Enjoy your weekend, both of you 🙂

      Hi Harleena,

      When you landed here, it was instantly felt on social media. That’s your awesome identity- sharing and promoting others 😉

      Better late than never! I know you stepped up your profile and that’s normal that you become more busy.

      You know one of the most difficult things in life is to make the right choice. That’s why there are problems everywhere, even in relationships. People make the wrong choices and live with the ugly consequences – God help us!

      Yes, coupons tagged to affiliate accounts are a sure guarantee that you get the commissions because crediting you does not depend on some cookied piece of code. So it doesn’t matter whether the cache is cleared or not.

      Despite this huge advantage, some affiliate systems still don’t have this facility. It shouldn’t take centuries to develop and apply.

      Thanks for your beautiful comment this Friday dear friend. I know we have a wonderful year ahead so let’s keep given.

      have a beautiful weekend

        I needed Enstine here to give my readers that are affiliate marketers a new “edge” he uses himself that is great for them to apply.

    I love the idea of creating and adding your own value Enstine and Donna. If you add a twist people will be more likely to buy in to your affiliate offering. Something needs to separate you from the crowd. Add a bit of a change up. Create, brand you while promoting the product and people will have a reason to pick you out from others who promote the product.

    Thanks for the inspired share Enstine!

    Hi there Enstine,

    You are certainly making your way around some great blogs. It’s so great to see you here on Donna’s blog.

    Thank you for sharing such helpful information. I’m glad you pointed out the other ways we can make money in affiliate marketing other than placing banner ads on our blogs. I like the idea of getting a special discount coupon and inviting the developer to tell us about their product. I really like that idea. I’m glad it worked for you :).

    You’re right, the bottom line is we have to put our readers first and promote the products they would want to try and use not according to our needs or likes.

    Thank you for the ideas. I hope you’re having a great week. :).

    Hi Donna, thanks for such an awesome guest today. I hope you’re having a great week as well :).

    You are right that the secret to success in afflaite marketing is to provide more value to your readers by thinking outside the box.

    Hey, Donna and Enstine,

    Loved the article.

    My favorite is interviewing the product owner. I plan on doing this in 2015, and think it’s a great strategy and potentially very powerful.

    I have a special place in my heart for affiliate marketing because that’s how I earned my first dollar as a blogger. I’d been a power seller on eBay and my husband and I have been restaurant owners for 30+ years, but this was my first dollar from my own website. So very exciting!

    Yep, thinking outside the box is definitely a necessity, I couldn’t agree more! 🙂 I sometimes create my own graphics when I promote an affiliate product, but need to more. Thanks for the encouragement in this regard, I appreciate it.

    Have a great rest of the week you two! 🙂

      Hi Carol,

      Nice to know you were doing eBay back in the day. So was I and it was a profitable business. But the packing and shipping back then was too much of a chore for us lol.

      Yes, we do have to always think out of the box. When it comes to affiliate marketing, I do my share of it mostly in my email lists.

      If I am using something that made my life easy, I do like to recommend it to others. I like the way you make your own graphics when you do affiliate marketing. Still keep that branding going Carol. What a great idea and thanks for sharing that wise nugget of information.

      Wow Carol! Good to know how you started 😉
      Just like you, this year, I’ll be inviting product owners on my blog for product based interviews and one thing I’ll love is to strike a special price for my readers.

      That should help boost sales and generate profit for both the product owner and me 😉

      I’ll be excited to see this on your blog dear friend.

      Thanks for showing up here on Donna’s blog and leaving a comment. I hope you have a wonderful weekend

    Hey Donna and Enstine,

    What a powerful collaboration from two awesome bloggers and friends. I love it when a blogging authority invites a fellow authority to engage with his or her community. Donna, you have done so well inviting Enstine Muki (the money making machine) to your blog.

    Well, just as Adrienne rightly said, Enstine is a brain when it comes to affiliate marketing. If there is no other person who has benefited from Enstine’s teachings on making money with affiliate marketing, then I happen to be one.

    The strategies he shared on this post are all super and work like fire. I can vividly recall my first ever earning with CommentLuv which he triggered the idea that made me strike a deal with Andy on a special 20% OFF discount for my readers. With his idea I was able to write a review on the product and also came up with eye catching banners that resulted in many traffic and exposure to my blog.

    I always work with him on anything that has to do with making money online and so far it’s been awesome having him as a friend. With him, I have reviewed a handful of products and have even saved money on awesome blogging tools that would have cost pretty much. Such a smart money making blogger he is!

    Donna, this is indeed a wealth of knowledge you have provided for your community by allowing Enstine speak to us today!

    A big thanks to you too. Let’s keep making the money 🙂

      I’m glad your blog is up and finally running. It’s been giving you some headache causing you to move hosts. However, the troubles cannot be more than us 😉

      Thanks for this beautiful comment. I remember your experience with commentluv and that’s proof that the special coupon idea works.

      If you push it on, you’ll make more sales.

      I just reviewed a product on my blog and got a special code from the author. So far, I have made a sale thanks to that coupon. Why the product owner is making money, I’m earning commissions too. Great strategy if you ask me 😉

      Thanks for your contribution bro. I hope to one day visit you in Nigeria

    Hi Enstine and Donna

    I can say this is an authority post on affiliate marketing where the literal tips to earn more money with it are wonderfully described where as in most of the posts of this type simply process and dos and dons are mentioned.

    There is always a limit of theoritical persuading and convincing after that one has to convince the audience practically by offering an incentive.

    Especial discount is the most attractive incentive and a blogger with an established brand can easily get the one from the maker of the product.

    Offering a support product as free gift is a brilliant idea and yes several systems and tools are sold as PLR products and one simply has to do smart calculation before buying it to cover its cost from the affiliate commission of the key product which he is going to sell.

    Thanks a lot Enstine for sharing these very lucrative tips and thanks Donna for featuring him here to get us learn more from him

      Hey Mi,
      Good to see you here and thanks for the solid comment

      Incentives always work. I just review a wp plugin on my blog and I was able to secure a unique coupon code for my readers. This will definitely boost sales.

      This is exactly what I try to discuss here and we have to act on it. I have seen success with this in the past and as a matter of fact, it will never fade out.

      PLR products generally are low in price so I think like you said, if wisely chosen, one should cover the cost in affiliate commissions. The real point is to be able to buy a highly related and useful PLR product.

      Thanks for making it to this post this week. I hope you are having a wonderful day

        Hi Mi Muba,

        Thank you for your great input on this conversation… I do strongly agree with Enstine that incentives always work.

        When I put up a product I Always give incentives; a free consultation, a free digital product in conjunction with the one I am offering.

        On my “Whirlwind Success VIP club” I do one webinar a month with a weekly follow up of Q&A’s plus a free consultation…plus…access to us if there is a quick question. All for a very low cost on a monthly basis. This stuff is working well!

        I do believe the more we give, the more people will purchase our products.

    Hey Donna and Enstine,

    I have to say Donna that you chose a really great guy to share his knowledge on this topic. I’ve been visiting Enstine’s blog regularly now for a few years and he really knows his stuff when it comes to promoting affiliate products. He has such great tips to share with us and they are practical too.

    I think the coupon code is a smart way to go about this. I had a brief talk with Enstine when my product released and of course I’m new to all of this so I didn’t realize that you could provide different affiliate with these codes. Any type of promotion is good for business so most product owners, including myself, are eager to help out their affiliates. Learn something new every day.

    Really great advice again Enstine, thank you for sharing this with Donna’s readers. I know they can all learn from you and hopefully step up their game in 2015.

    Here is wishing you both a wonderful week.

      Hi Adrienne,
      It’s an awesome experience here on Donna’s blog. This is my second guest article this year and I’m just so excited Donna opened the door for me.

      You ladies are my pillars and I always mention it. Donna does a lot of promotion for my articles on social media. She really does and one day, my friend Jackson made mention of it 😉

      The coupon method really works and I encourage you try that out with your affiliates. I think that’s possible with dealguardian.

      I just have a fresh experience this morning. A few hours ago, I publish a review of Zero Bounce and thanks to the unique code I got from author, I have already made some sales. Both of us are making the money so I think it’s something you should consider.

      The year is now going and we are expecting better results so let’s keep it warm

      Great to know that you have learned so good points that are new to you from Enstine. The thing is with affiliate marketing, we cannot follow just one person. There are so many different ways to do so.

      In the beginning of your marketing affiliates, one learns a certain way and sticks to it, but it is always good practice to learn for “the other guy” too.

      This is why I have brought Enstine here, to show many marketers, how he uses these tips and gained so much traction in his business.

    You must have read my mind the other night Enstine on facebook. I’m revamping my email messages for my autoresponder and I’m also going to make some changes to my broadcast messages. One of those changes are sending out coupons to get discounts for different plugins I currently use. I want to be more valuable to my readers and email subscribers and i believe this is a great way to show that I’m looking out for them. And you know what, I really do want them to be successful!

    Hi Donna and Enstine,

    That’s an excellent post here and I wish I had read that back in the days I used to do affiliate marketing.

    Since a huge incentive for people is price, I feel that offering coupons can really be a good way to generate more sales.

    Now, I had never thought (back then) of inviting the product owner on my blog and finding some attractive ways to promote the product using them.

    Just today, I was reading a product review at Richard Martin’s blog and he was saying how his review was genuine and different from all the other reviews he’d seen on the product out there. I felt that was an excellent way to get more people clicking on HIS link.

    Thanks for this valuable info, Enstine and you to have a great day!

    Personally, I’ve seriously employed the addition of value to all my affiliate campaigns and the results have been tremendous, to say the least!

    When I was a newbie online, I was in the habit of scouting around for coupon codes and discounts…it’s no secret that many persons still practice this habit…now, imagine offering a whole 20% off! Who won’t jump at the offer?

    You two rock…ensure to make the day great!

I especially like the idea of inviting the product creator for an in-depth review on the product. That is a totally different way to do it and is what I call thinking outside the box.

    Hi Donna and Enstine!

    Good ideas for sure, for the sake of organization I’ll comment on them individually.

    #1 – I can say from experience this works well. I was contacted by HostGator a while back for a better coupon code and it has been used 3x more often than the slightly worse coupon I had previously. I suppose that’s the advantage of being the cheapest available. I haven’t taken advantage of this in other areas though so I’ll have to reach out to the businesses I’m affiliated with and see if they can do anything for me.

    #2 Haven’t tried this yet although it’s definitely in my plans. In addition to offering bonuses for purchasing products, I’ve also considered adding specific bonuses for opting in to my email list on certain posts (extensions of the post essentially). I first came across this idea from Stuart Walker and I know it’s working very well for him, so it’s definitely in my to-do list this year.

    #3 Haven’t even thought of this, despite seeing it happen several times already on other people’s sites. I always figured that the product creators would not have time to write on my site, but I suppose there’s no way to know unless I reach out and ask. Thanks for that idea!

    Good to see you here on Donna’s blog, Enstine. Talk to you soon!

      Hi James,

      And thank you so much for your valuable share on this post. Where there’s a will there’s a way and reaching out is always great to do…hey what do you have to loose? lol I like that share you have given us about Hostgator!

      Offering bonuses is a must do! Always give ’em what you got! A free this or that is a great way to market. I do it myself and some opt in for a higher price just to get the bonus!

      I am a product creator…not a huge company, but when someone invites me to their site, I jump at the chance. I know I’m small beans compared to large companies, but the same goes with them. They will be happy to do so I’m sure.

      Hi James,
      Thanks for being organized in your comment, treating point by point 😉

      Getting a unique coupon from product owners really works. This Jan, I contacted Hostgator for a 30% OFF special coupon but they told me I have to be a top affiliate with 21+ monthly sales to qualify

      Given that I do a max of 5 monthly sales, they don’t think I’m qualified to make more sales because I know a 30% OFF coupon will generate more sales 😉

      Is your coupon still active?

    Affiliate marketing is something which is attracting me a lot nowadays. Enstine has been able to review variety of products at his blog and that’s why he definitely has good knowledge of affiliate marketing.

    In this post I got to know 3 really very good tips from Enstine for earning more affiliate commissions. The best tip is definitely the one to get a special coupon from the seller. If I’ll sell a particular tool at a reduced price than others, then definitely most of the people will get attracted to buy using my coupon code.

    Enstine hoping to get some more tips from you at Donna’s blog.

      When it comes to affiliate marketing one needs to learn how to do it effectively. Here, Enstine has provided three fantastic ways to apply when doing affiliate marketing.

      I do agree…I like getting that “special coupon from the seller” It does work effectively. What I like about Enstine’s marketing is that he is always thinking out of the box!

        That’s right Donna. Getting a customized coupon code is a great idea and I saw it generating more success with affiliate products to me when compared with those where I didn’t have any custom coupon code specifically created for my readers. This is great stuff.

        However, one does need to understand that making a fulltime income through anything (such as 6 figure) is never easy no matter what you do. Affiliate marketing is no exception. It is still sales and people should realize that you are not going to make a good amount of money until you really work hard, work smarter than the most and work endlessly. There is no easy money other than getting lucky once in a while.

        I just wanted to add my two cents since I was one of those guys who thought this was ticket to my financial freedom when I started promoting affiliate products a few years ago. Yes, I made some money. But not even close to where I wanted to be.

        Regards,
        Kumar

          Hi Kumar,

          Great to see you here and thank you so much for your input on this post. Especially the fact that making a fulltime income now matter what we do in sales we do have t realize that we have to work hard at it.

          Quick money is not the name of the game. It is business as usual. Sometimes you get a lucky roll out there, but it is not to be counted on.

          We have to really work hard and smart to endure business. It could be our own products/services or being an affiliate marketer.

          Once we understand the concept of internet marketing, then and only then can we grow our business.

          Thanks for your two cents…It is greatly appreciated.

    Enstine,

    Thanks for your valuable tips. It really is important to provided special bonuses to reward viewers for coming to your page and buying the product from your site. I plan to be doing webinar interviews and you have sparked a new idea fro me. I had never thought of asking for a special discount code just for the webinar – and adding my bonus, even if the webinar is all about someone else and their product. The move value we provide, the more success we will have.

    Thanks for sharing this post Donna,

    Warmly,
    Dr. Erica

      Hi Erica,
      Good to see you here and thanks for the quick and awesome comment 😉

      First, I’m so excited Donna invited me to share this with her readers. I have been reading this blog since years back so I know the quality of her audience.

      I’m sure your webinar will rock in sales 😉 especially if you get that special treat for your attendees. People love to be treated with some extra attention and that’s what coupons and bonuses do 😉

      Good luck my dear friend and do have a wonderful week ahead

        Hi Erica,

        I too am sure that your webinar will be wonderful. Offering extra things is always good practice. I’ve seen you so many times on camera and know that you often are a speaker to many …. you not only know your stuff…but you are a wonderful presenter.

        Have a great week ahead,
