Do you get emails from the companies that you are an affiliate for?

I know I do. Dozens…

How many of us jut toss those emails away? For example, how many of us Amazon affiliates actually read the emails they send us about
special promotions, products, etc…

I will read them more often after this week!

For example, earlier this week I received an email from Amazon about a new toy that had been released and was on sale with no shipping charge. Doing a few minutes of research I found that this toy had a lot of potential come Christmas time and was able to pick up a sweet domain name because there are no searches in Google or competition for this product… yet.

And then yesterday, I received an email from Amazon about a “Back To School” sale they were having. I was emailing all my lists anyway, so I included a  short comment about the sale at the end of my mailing.

The result was that 168 additional products were purchased through that link. Even better is that it dinged me up another .5% affiliate commissions which is then applied to ALL of the purchases for that month.

Just FYI, that none of these lists are “Back To School” lists. But step on the other side of the keyboard and look at your market and you might find many of your lists have opportunities for cross promotions.

So the next time an affiliate says they are running a sale, promote it! Otherwise you may be missing out on a nice bonus!  :D
