In celebration of the new affiliate referral service at LoudMo, we thought this blog was necessary. While a lot of affiliates rely on an extra income that comes from referrals, it is sometimes difficult to entice others to signup. Here is a list of 10 techniques to help increase your rate of referrals and maximize revenue.
1) Post a Blog that includes your Referral link
It’s easy to make a blog; it’s even easier to write a short blog article. This is one of the most effective and helpful methods to get your referral offer noticed. It is important to write an effective post that people will notice. There’s no point in posting your referral link in a blog that nobody will read.
2) Forums are your Friend
If you are an active member in an affiliate forum or any forum in general, it is easy to sell your offer through forum posts. Place your link in a new post, put it in your forum signature, or send private messages to other users that might benefit from Loudmo.
3) Place Referral Links in High Traffic Areas
Similar to a blog that nobody will read, make sure referral links are placed somewhere that is more likely to be noticed. Affiliates with blogs or websites should place codes in pages that rank high in search engines. If you have a page solely for your referral offer, make sure your SEO and seo description will attract users.
4) Focus on the Benefits
If someone was trying to sell you a cellphone, but focused on the benefits they would get by referring you to buy this cellphone, would you buy the cellphone? Probably not. However, if someone raves about how good a cellphone actually is, the listener is much more likely to purchase the cellphone. Focus on the benefits of LoudMo (and there are a lot!) and other affiliates will be more likely notice.
5) Twitter or other Social Media Networks
Often social networking websites are useless at helping promote affiliate offers. But, if an affiliate has a twitter account with lots of followers, there is a larger potential of success. Short and interesting twitter messages will be able to reach many people in a small amount of time. Personal message or status updates on Facebook and Myspace may also bring a huge possibility for referrals.
6) Join a Traffic Exchange Program
Affiliates can benefit from traffic exchange programs by earning credits and referrals. Register by providing your referral URL which is entered into a member pool. These programs generate a noticeable increase in web traffic as well as referral signups.
7) Banner ads
Banner ads have always been an effective method to refer affiliates. Success depends on where the banner ad is located (see #3). Its best not to clutter a page with too many banner ads, make your referral link as noticeable as possible. Use one of our pre-created ads for an eye-catching banner.
8) Reward Program
Sometimes affiliates need a little motivation to sign up to a new website using a referral link. It helps to offer a reward to get people interested. If an affiliate signs up using your link, offer them something small. For example, free coupons or discounts.
9) RSS footer plug-in campaign
If you have an RSS feed for your blog, often users do not visit your blog directly. Placing a referral link in your RSS feed will increase your click through rate and generate more referrals.
10) Just ask
The easiest option is often the best, so why not try asking fellow affiliates or website owners? Sending too many impersonal email messages or comments can seem like spam that is frequently ignored. Sometimes the old-fashioned power of word of mouth will work wonders.
Once your referral rate starts skyrocketing, you’ll be amazed at how much extra income will be created. Remember to grab your own referral URL from Loudmo’s Referral Program.
