How to sell high-ticket affiliate products and make huge commissions

By Dan Lok
Super affiliates

This super affiliate strategy is a little more advanced, and may require a tiny bit of extra effort.

However, I guarantee you if you apply this strategy you will dramatically improve your affiliate income.

The secret of super affiliates

The people who make me the most money I call my super affiliates.

What is their secret?

The add their own bonuses if someone buys through their affiliate links!

Sure, you can just copy and paste the promotional tools I provide through my Turnkey affiliate program [UPDATE: No longer available.]. Remember though, you are competing against thousands of other affiliates out there selling the same or similar products.

If you are willing to do a little bit more work, go the extra mile - you will realize a huge leap in your income.

The most powerful way to promote a product and make money is offer some sorts of bonuses for people purchasing products via your affiliate link.

Think about it. Why should your subscribers buy from your affiliate link? What makes YOU so special? What is to stop them from buying from another affiliate's link?

Get the picture? You have to give your subscribers/visitors a compelling "reason why" to buy via YOUR affiliate link.

If you do this your subscribers are less likely to bypass your affiliate link and much more likely to jump head over heels to buy from you. They will go the extra mile to buy from you instead of your competitors.

Why? Because they want those mouth-watering bonuses! You're giving them additional incentives to buy a product via your affiliate link.

You could offer reprint rights products, your own products, free consultations, ebooks, video tutorials, and DVDs, etc.

Try to find bonuses that have high perceived value to your visitor but cost you little to nothing.

How to sell high-ticket affiliate products

Let's say for example you are promoting my Instant Web Profits System course [UPDATE: No longer available.] through your affiliate link. The course costs $1,000 and your affiliate commission is $360.

You can easily entice your subscribers to buy Instant Web Profits System through your affiliate link by telling them that if they send you the receipt proving that they ordered my course, you’ll send them three special bonuses valued at over $400.

You see how when you offer free bonuses, you make it a no-brainer for your subscribers to buy from your links?

Do something creative, go the extra mile - and your subscribers will too.

They will see you have something a little better to offer than everyone else out there.

Sincerely,
Dan Lok

It's been a long time since I read an article from someone who I really thought was for real. This technique really works and I know it for a fact because I "fell for it" at Mike's Marketing Tools. This guy gives you his great SEO ebook (which simple techniques work really well) for free if you buy high ticket items through his affiliate link. I think that what matters though is to make the people who buy through your link see the value of your bonus. That's why I think it is even better if it is something you've created yourself.

Great idea.. there are so many affiliates out there marketing the same products. Even if your efforts makes front page with Google, there are 9 other links on the front page to choose from. I will definitely put that strategy to work... Thanks for the info

Yes, offering bonuses does help. Another way to sell high ticket items is to offer a "cash rebate". You can send the rebate amount after you get paid for your commissions. We've sold several high ticket items this way and, these days, more folks are interested in getting a cash rebate than just some digital products. Just my 2 cents.

[True. You need to check each affiliate eagreement, though. Some vendors don't allow rebates. Allan.]

I feel hustled by guys like Dan Lok. A $360 commission on $1,000 product is a rip. If you're an affiliate you know how tough it is. It has to be a minimum 50% before I'll even consider it. At 50% you can give a good incentive and still afford to advertise. I'll stick with CB at least it's fair.

that's true..

although if it's a higher ticket product.. $5000+

then i will go for less than 50%

but on a $1000 dollar product $360 is a rip off.

Correct. You should NOT promote any product unless you as a affilliate get 50% or more of the purchase price.

Hi Adie

I suggest you start by reading my Affiliate Program Tutorial. I wrote it for people just like you.

To find it, click on the "Affiliate Beginners" link at the top left of the page and scroll down.

To get to the stage where you can quit your day job, you'll need a lot of self-discipline and determination to succeed, but the rewards make it all worth while.

If you have questions after reading my tutorial, a good place to ask them is on our affiliate forum.
