The Easiest Affiliate Marketing Sales
The easiest affiliate marketing sales to make are continuously eluding 95% of all affiliates – not because most affiliates don’t approve of them or choose to ignore them, but because they are outside the realm of most affiliates’ experience.
I’m talkin, of course, about affiliates commissions made on the backend after someone downloads a free gift. The affiliate either gives away the gift or refers prospects to a free gift, and makes their affiliate commissions on anything the person then buys, either through links in the gift itself or from the One-Time-Offer on the download site.
Let me give you a prime example of each…
Twice a year, the big FreePLR giveaway offers great free products with unrestricted private label rights from some of the best-known names in Internet marketing. After joining the FreePLR Affiliate Program, you, as an affiliate, send your link to your list telling them about the 20 free gifts from people like Willie Crawford, Jeff Dedrick, Doug Champigny & Nicheology’s Paul Evans. Once your referral signs up for the site, they are shown a $47.00 OTO for 50 additional e-books they can download. Should that person decide to take that OTO, your affiliate commission is 50% or $23.50 for each sale.
This is very powerful for you as an affiliate – your subscriber wins because you showed them where to get 20 free PLR products, the site wins by getting a new member and a new sale, and you win from both happier list members AND the commissions from the OTO sale.
Will every referral end up taking the OTO? No, of course not. But that’s no different from any other affiliate promotion you do – only a small percentage of prospects you send to any one offer will buy, and this is no different. So why not remember to promote the higher-end giveaways like the FreePLR event, both to give your list great free resources and to boost your affiliate earnings?
The second option works equally well – you give away a free resource that has your affiliate links already branded inside the e-book. Since you’re the one giving away the e-book, you can choose to leave it online year-round – just schedule any promotions you do for it to run between the giveaways you promote, as opposed to at conflicting times.
Now don’t worry – it’s not like you have to create these e-books yourself… There are various places you can get them already ready to go, provided by the merchant themselves and ready to brand with your own affiliate links. The source I like best for them, since it covers a number of topics and a number of different affiliate programs, is run by well-know Internet marketing ‘big dog’ Jeff Dedrick.
His brandable e-books site provides numerous brandable e-books for you to give away after inserting your own affiliate links in them. In fact, Jeff even provides the squeeze pages for you to give them away from! This basic service is free, and there are higher-level services available too if you decide to opt for one of the paid levels of membership. To see what all’s available free, just take a look at Jeff Dedrick’s Viral E-Book site here.
So there you have it. Affiliate marketing will never be easier than just giving away free resources. I’m sure by now ideas for promoting these through your mailing lists, article submissions, blog posts, tweets, podcasts and videos are running through your head – after all, what can be easier to promote than valuable products for free.
Making money as an affiliate just doesn’t get any easier than this, so why not add a few of these to your current affiliate promotions and boost your affiliate commissions almost on autopilot? 
To get started, join the FreePLR Affiliate Program here, then get your free brandable e-books from Jeff Dedrick’s site here.

I like the concept you have laid out for affiliates Doug. It does make a lot of sense and Jeff’s product certainly puts you ahead of the game. Thanks for the heads up.

Boy are you ever preaching to the choir here. Just gave away a free report and by having it on a download page and giving people steps to use added people to 3 programs while giving it away.
The bonus page ads are absolutely killer for every download page and too many people waste that page view by not using them.

Doug,
Having your backend monetized is something that probably 85% of marketers are missing out on.
Just like you mentioned, not all people are going to take you up on the offers after signing up, but if you don’t have something in place, you have 0 chance of capturing extra bucks.
Jeff’s products ARE top notch…I use some of them along with some of yours to beautify my backend

I think many beginners to affiliate marketing don’t want to spend the time creating a free product to give away, as they may not really understand the power of it. But it’s what people want… free quality products, and if you can show them that your content is great, then they will be back later to buy from you.

Giving away free stuff sure works well. Whenever I put free in the subject line of an email to my list the response rate goes way up. People like free things like your PLR Giveaway. I like Jeff Dedrick’s site as well.
Thanks for the tips and advice.

Hey Doug,
I’ve been getting your PLR newsletter for a while now and learning a lot. Great to see your new site. I’m building a list and have been getting some success with the special offers embeded in the ebook. I think many people don’t take the time to modify the giveaway with their own links.
Doing so can only help.
Thanks
