As an affiliate you want to give as much value to your visitors as possible, you want to stand out in their minds as the person who really cares and has given them that little bit extra information and help they need. A great way to do this is by offering free eCourses to your customers.

Niche Blueprint Review For example, if you’re promoting a product on how to write an information product, you can offer a free 5-day eCourse, which gives your customers a few valuable tips on how to create an information product. This eCourse goes out to them over the course of 5 days and will, of course, contain an affiliate link under your signature line that will take your customers straight to that product you’re promoting.

The best part about offering a free eCourse is that it’s also a good way to build up your mailing list. You set up a simple one page website which gives a little information about your free eCourse, people submit their name and email address and you send them out their free course. They get good valuable information and hopefully will actually go on to purchase the product you’re promoting. You get another subscriber to communicate your offers to. You can use a service like aweber to build your mailing list. It’s a Win/Win situation.
Can I really Write a Course to Promote Someone Else’s Product?

Of course you can! In some cases the person selling the product will make an eCourse available to affiliates. You can then use this eCourse in your mailings and promotions. If there isn’t a course available then go ahead and write one yourself. Now remember, the eCourse doesn’t need to be directly related to the product you’re promoting but just related to the information.

Using the example above, you’ll write an eCourse with tips on how to write an information product. You can tell people how to do research, how to write an outline, outsourcing options and so on – anything related to writing an information product. You don’t want to give out too much information because you do want them to go on and purchase the actual paid product, but you can give them some good tips without revealing exactly how to do it all.

Review of Niche Blueprint And as mentioned already you’ll add your affiliate link to the bottom of this eCourse or when appropriate in the body of the email. You can simply say something like:

“To Learn How to Easily Write Your First Information Product Visit, http://www.affiliatelinktoproductgoeshere.com”

Once the 5-day course is finished you can follow-up with periodical emails and information related to writing an information product. As you can see offering your customers a free eCourse is another great way to stand out and increase your affiliate commissions.

Give away a Free Report and Watch your Affiliate Sales Improve
Why give away a free report?

As an affiliate marketer the more you can give your prospects in terms of quality and information, the more you’ll stay on their minds. Giving a way a free report is a good way to build your mailing list as well as give something of value to your customers. You’re also establishing yourself as an expert in your chosen field, which will build trust and credibility with your customers.

It’s also thought that when customers download a special report onto their computers it creates a sense of increased value. This report is on their computer and they can access it at any time, whereas an email can simply be deleted. If you go a step further and have a nice cover made for your free special report you will increase the perceived value even further.
So when do you write a free report?

Anytime you can is the answer. Free reports can be written around a product or several products you’re promoting to your target market. For example, if you’re promoting a learn to read phonics program for parents of younger children, then you can write a report which talks about the importance of reading to children, how early reading helps build vocabulary and self esteem and so on. You can add reading statistics about reading improvement by using the phonics system and even include a story or two about children whose reading has improved due to using phonics.

The report shouldn’t read like a sales pitch but instead should focus on providing value to your customers and the information they crave. Throughout the special report you can include your affiliate link to a recommended phonics programs, and perhaps several other affiliate links for similar helpful products. You don’t want too many links and you want to make sure the products you do recommend are all related.
How long should the free report be?

Niche Blueprint 2.0 Reviewed It all depends on the product you’re promoting and the information which needs to be shared. There are some special free reports which are quite long and others shorter. On average 15 to 17 pages is reasonably good, but it all depends on your target market and the information they’re looking for.

Writing a free special report is a great way to promote affiliate products you believe in.
