Subscription Products And Affiliate Marketing

Subscription products and affiliate marketing go hand in hand and one of the best online business models is subscriptions. With subscription products you can get paid over and over again as an affiliate. You only need to refer the sale once, and it can mean years after years of subscription commissions month in month out.

Before I discovered subscription products I was trying to make single “one time” commissions. Plus, it was by selling through SEO alone (search engine optimisation) using niche websites. I wasn’t that successful! But, when I did finally make a sale, I only got paid once. For subscriptions any work you do to generate a sale is compounded many times – assuming the subscription is maintained of course!

When you build an email list and promote subscription products, you can gain even more traction with an online business.

Subscription Products And Affiliate Marketing – Highest Value Products To Sell

High value products are those which offer the most value. So products which help people build businesses are some of the best ones to use. For example, email marketing software is absolutely necessary for the building of an online business. So if you promote an email marketing software, your subscribers are likely to keep their memberships for years, even decades.

That’s money in the bank to you. On the other hand if you chose to promote a less valuable subscription product, members are likely to drop out. Nobody likes paying for a subscription they don’t use, so many will drop out of programs unless they are necessary to them or hugely important.

For this reason online business programs are also a good bet. There’s a huge market for newbies entering the online business space and the desire of becoming financially independent/employer free is a huge motivator for many people. Once they are earning through a program you have referred them to, they are likely to maintain their membership for the duration too, particularly if they become very successful with their business program you have referred them to.

Selling Via Email Marketing

A popular method of selling subscription products is through email marketing. Email marketing works very well and particularly if you align a great value give away with your product and you target a specific audience with your marketing.

Many marketers will use an ebook, for example. They build their email list and then promote a subscription product which is in some way aligned with their ebook.

Summary

A subscription product sale can give you a major advantage as an affiliate because you can get paid over and over again. This can continue for the lifetime of a customer which with certain necessary products can be for decades.

In the beginning as an affiliate there’s a lot of work to do for seemingly little reward. But by using the correct strategies affiliate marketing can be a lot easier.
