If you're ready to start an affiliate marketing business for your particular niche you've probably got a few promotions lined up that you'll be offering, but if you're determined to find your path to super affiliate, you'll need to make the most of your offers.
One strategy is to start thinking about how you can merge your affiliate offers to play off of one another for increasing profits.
This is more commonly referred to as cross-promotion. For example, if you go to an eBay auction for an iPod let's say, you'll find cross-promotions for all sorts of ipod accessories, chargers, cases, etc., that they can add onto their order.
As an affiliate marketer you want to do the same thing.
Let’s say that you want to promote money making opportunities for the stay at home mom, we'll pick blogging for example. Where would you start? An eBook promotion about how to become a profitable Blogger would be a good start. It’s broad, but it fits a large demographic – and it converts well.
What else might the stay at home mom need that you could promote? If you're stuck, think of her personal situation. She may have young kids at home with limited space and in need of a home office. You could promote affiliate items through Amazon that cater to her home office needs, such as:
• An ergonomic chair
• A space-saving desk that will fit in a corner
• A laptop computer for work on-the-go
One of the things that most home business owners struggle with is getting and staying organized. A guide or tutorial on how to get organized, work smarter or organizing their time better is something just about everyone could use. I know, I've been there myself
But there are lots more things your work at home mom will need if she’s going to truly be profitable, she'll need to learn the ropes of how to actually make money. She’ll need to understand strategies and find the best tools that are available to make her work easier and increase her profit potential.
You could cross-promote offers such as:
- Learning guides for how to blog
- Guides for how to monetize her blog
- Social marketing tutorials to help her promote her blog
- PLR (Private Label Rights) content and where to buy PLR for adding content to her blog.
…and of course this is just the tip of the iceberg. The cross promotion potential just goes on and on.
When you first scout out your affiliate product promotions, don't just go after a bunch of products because you think they'll sell well or make you the most money. Put yourself in your customer's shoes and think of all the ways you can merge other offers into the mix so that they complement the original product and still suit the needs of your prospect perfectly.
Happy Promoting

Ms Liz,
Like the content and fresh ideas you share here. Complimenting offers are things most affiliates and business owners do not think about. There is a stepping process that can be related in any niche. Usually not something most think about or include in their initial business plan.
Thanks for sharing this Liz!
