How To Multiply Your Income Without Doing Any Work!
What if I told you that you could go out and get somebody to sell stuff for you, not have to pay them anything, and still receive profit off those sales?
Well thanks to referrals, sub-affiliates, or whatever you want to call them it is now completely possible. In fact, most affiliate programs wish you would utilize this feature even more.
Referrals are new affiliates that you referred to the network, thus, receiving a percentage of their commissions. Most affiliate programs have some type of referral system setup, and it does not take away any potential commissions from you or the person you referred.
Regardless of the affiliate networks or programs you check, odds are extremely high that all the top earners have a good amount of referrals under them. It is completely free money, and you never know when you might refer the next affiliate mastermind.
While it seems like a relatively simple task, getting people to actual sign up underneath you does a require a tad bit of work.
Obviously, the easiest way would be to create a blog dedicated to how much money you make online, show reports, and then tell people how and what you used to do it, while using your referrer’s link to do so; however, not everybody wants to or can do this. So what do you do?
Find The Bottom Feeders
Even the biggest sites today were the smallest kids on the block just yesterday. The “small kids” are who you have to go for, and most of the time they will come to you first…
If your site has been around for even just a little time, then I’m sure that you have probably gotten loads of emails from people looking to develop some link exchange or something to that extent. Many of times these sites are farely new, and the owner does not really know about all the options available. This is where you come in.
Instead of just deleting the email and moving on with your day, take a second to visit the site and see how you would improve it. Make sure to note down if it looks like they are using any of the products that you are an affiliate for. If they are not, then obviously you know what to recommend.
If nobody is emailing you, then look up targeted web directories and look for sites that you can address. Email them and let them know what’s up, and why it would be helpful
Worse comes to worse, you have added a new business relationship to your network.
Be Honest
When it comes to trying to refer people, the worst thing you can do is sneak your referral link through. Sure some people may not notice, but most will and think you are just trying to spam them to get another referral signed up.
Be completely honest and upfront. Tell them about all their options (even if you are not affiliates with them), and why you picked yours. Odds are already high that you picking a certain option is good enough reason for them to pick as well. Make sure to also not point out every single option available, or at least don’t ask them to be referrer for all of them. This could lead to the site owner thinking you are only looking out for yourself, and not actually being helpful at all.
Let them know that if they pick your option then would they mind signing up under your referral link. Make sure to point out that it does not effect them in any way.
Many people underestimate how beneficial tracking down referrals can be. Everybody has their own network and selling approach, so you never know who will do good and who won’t, and it really does not matter. At least by capturing the referral you are giving yourself a better chance to make more money without having to do any actual work. That is really what we all want, right?
