10 Steps To Bigger Affiliate Commissions!
If you're having trouble making money from affiliate programs, or are looking for ways to increase your existing income from them, here is a quick list to get you going:
EVALUATE PR INFLUENCE BY CRUNCHING A FEW NUMBERS
Everybody wants to see tangible results when they invest their hard- earned cash. But when it comes to public relations, we are dealing with ideas and persuasion rather than nuts and bolts. There is an ongoing challenge in the communications business to prove that a $50,000 PR campaign, for example, generated at least $50,000 worth of business-building media. Here's one way to get a quantifiable evaluation of your media relations programs.
Start BASIC and Avoid 'The Gash'
People have a funny thing about them. We all want everything NOW! We start on a diet, and a day and a half later we're hopping on the scales to see if we've lost anything. We get a new credit card and in one weekend we've got over a $1000 racked up on it. Then we gripe for the next 3 years until it's paid off.
Don't Let Amazon.com Use Up Your Valuable Bandwidth!
You already know that affiliate programs are a great way to make additional income for your web business.
Do This One Thing to Create a Powerful Product-Selling Web Site
Spend time planning your Web site. Before you design a page or write a word, get a visual, and mental picture of your preferred audience. Your visitors will spend up to 10 seconds on your home page, so plan accordingly.
TRANSLATING YOUR WEB
Considering that 43% of Internet users cannot read English, translating your web site into a foreign language is a powerful way to promote your business.
Keep Your Affiliate Site Profitable for The Long Haul
I was recently talking to a friend who had signed up for an affiliate program that I am also involved with. She mentioned that she had never really made much money from it and that she rarely thought about it anymore. She said that she was so busy with her other business ventures that she just didn't have time to bother with it. She said that occasionally she sees a little money, but not enough to change her attitude. I told her she was making a big mistake.
WEB-DESIGN GUIDELINES
It's not enough to know *how* to create a web site, you also need to know what makes a *good* web site. Think back on some of the web sites you've visited recently. Were you impressed by all of them? Probably not. Many web sites are technically fine, but fail on aesthetic grounds.
Backup Your Site
Imagine the following nightmare: you've worked hard on your site for months, tweaking it until it looks perfect. You've got great content, excellent graphics and a wonderful design. Thousands of visitors are pouring in every day, and you are getting dozens of guestbook entries all telling you how wonderful you've done and hundreds of emails praising your good work.

How To Double Or Triple Your Page Views?
It's easy, just design and engineer your main page in such a fashion that people will click beyond it into the rest of your site. If you are like a lot of webmasters, you're losing a significant number of visitors as soon as they get to your front door.
