3 Easy Ways to Make More Money from Your Affiliate Marketing Efforts
Plus 3 affiliate commission examples and more
Hey there,
I wanted to talk about affiliate marketing in this email. It’s been an income stream I’ve quietly been obsessing over, for the past several months.
Here’s one of the affiliate programs I’m in…
I’ve shown screenshots from other programs I’m in as well, where I get hundreds of conversions a month.
Since I’ve been devoting more attention to this, my income has been rising.
I recently joined two high-ticket affiliate programs that pay me $1,000 and $1,100 per conversion!
And, I’ve already made money and have been paid by those!
Affiliate marketing doesn’t have to be as sleazy as people sometimes make it out to be. It’s a legitimate marketing model.
And, it works!
I don’t know how many times over the past month, I’ve talked about the average salary of an affiliate marketer being $177K per year, according to ZipRecruiter.
When I first learned this, my mind was blown.
Anyway, I wanted to share a handful of ways you can increase your affiliate marketing income easily.
Here we go…
3 Easy Ways to Grow Your Affiliate Marketing Income
1. Ask for a raise
Yes, THIS!
Ask for a raise.
One of the affiliates I admire wrote an email about this years ago. She was driving a lot of conversions to one affiliate program and asked her affiliate manager for a raise. And, they gave it to her!
She went from $80 to $140 per conversion just because she asked!
Sometimes you get a raise without even asking!
This happened to me today!
I was surprised by having my commission rate increased, without even asking! Some of the best news of the day!
It doesn’t hurt to ask.
Even if you feel nervous, just go for it. You might be surprised by the result.
2. Try out the products yourself
I don’t mean, try out every single affiliate product you refer but, the ones you have a real interest in and would help you.
If you’re similar to your target audience and think trying out the product would be helpful, go for it.
I’ve done this many times.
Check out these blog posts where I use affiliate links to monetize them.
I actually tried out these products!
This method is simple. Try it out, then write about it. Be honest.
You can also try out a product, not recommend it, and STILL make money from affiliate marketing. Just share a product you DO recommend instead of the one you tried out.
When you do affiliate marketing blogging or affiliate marketing with content creation, people want to learn about your experience.
If you put these two articles side by side…
How I started a $30,000/month blog vs. How to start a $30,000/month blog
The first headline would win, hands down.
So write about your experiences.

3. Share high-ticket offers
I have shared 3 high ticket commission amounts for programs I’m in, so far in this email (up above).
Product 1 is $300 commission
Product 2 is $1,000 commission
Product 3 is $1,100 commission
This doesn’t mean, ONLY refer high ticket offers. You want to make appropriate referrals and create value-driven content that helps your audience. That’s first, always.
But, don’t be afraid to research and start referring higher ticket offers.
When I made this switch, my affiliate income drastically changed.
