CHAPTER 11
HOW TO MAKE MORE SALES
Getting people to your site is one thing, but if you can’t convince them to go through to
the merchant and buy, you wont make a cent. So how do you get the ball rolling?
1. Make Sure You Add Your Affiliate Link
The bare minimum you need to do to start earning commissions is just to add your
affiliate link to a page where your visitors can click on it. You can grab your affiliate link
by visiting the affiliate program website (or ClickBank, if it’s a ClickBank product). Note
that affiliate links can often look a little strange.

Copy the following HopLink HTML code and add it to your web page:
Click Here!
In this case, you can either grab the top (black) website address and add it into your
website using the “insert link” button, or if you have access to your website’s source
code, you can grab the bottom (blue) link and just paste it into your code. Just change the
words “Click here!” to say whatever you want the link to say.
That being the bare minimum, if you want to increase the chances of making more sales,
there are a few extra steps you can take…
2. Build Your Link Into Your Articles
Do you have an article on your website that talks about how you can stop a dog from
digging? Do you know of an affiliate product that ALSO talks about good ways to stop
dogs digging, and a whole lot more besides?
Why not try casually mentioning this in the course of your article? “I’ve given you a few
tips to help stop your dog digging, but since digging can be a sign of deeper issues in your dog’s
behavior, I highly recommend DogTrainerProExpress. It gets the root of your dog’s behavior
problems, and offers a much more detailed guide to stopping digging problems.”
