Hypnosis Downloads.com Affiliate Quick Start Guide - how to get the most from the program

As an affiliate, you want to choose the linking method that will create the best conversion rate, and therefore the best commissions. The trouble is, the best linking method will depend on your site and how you use it. So here are some pointers to get you started.

Step 1 - giving your visitors access to the full library:

Many affiliates start by adding a new page to their site and putting our complete Hypnosis downloads table onto it. This allows your visitors to browse the entire library. A nice extra is then to put the Download Search above it, for people who want to search rather than browse.

Step 2 - adding valuable content
More important than the amount of traffic you send to HypnosisDownloads.com is the frame of mind those visitors arrive in. If they have been gently educated about how useful hypnosis is, then sent to a highly relevant page on HypnosisDownloads.com, your conversion rate will benefit greatly. Plus, for you the added value of new content is that it may help you get more traffic from the search engines. Use our Affiliate Articles to create new tightly-focused high conversion rate creators on your site.

Step 3 - use attention getters
Everyone loves videos, and an image is always an attention-grabber, especially if you don't use too many images on your site. Use our video links to both get the click and build credibility in the mind of your visitor. You'll see why when you watch the videos yourself.

Another great way to make your visitors pay attention is to present them with downloads that appeal to them. Our Top Ten Table features 10 perenially popular titles with mass appeal that will interest the majority of your website traffic.

Step 4 - linking to any page on HypnosisDownloads.com

If you already have articles or content pages that are focused on the same topics as specific downloads, you are in a great position to create excellent conversion rates. Our own tests have shown that the best conversion rates come from linking to a download from a related article (e.g. to the Self Confidence Booster from an article on self confidence.

Linking to any page on HypnosisDownloads.comis easy. You simply copy the page URL from the site - e.g. http://www.hypnosisdownloads.com/learn_hypnosis.htmland tag it with your affiliate number as follows: http://www.hypnosisdownloads.com/learn_hypnosis.html?MERGED_AFF_NUMBER . The only exception is linking to the homepage where you need the trailing '/' , like this: http://www.hypnosisdownloads.com/?MERGED_AFF_NUMBER

For more advanced affiliates - tracking individual link performance

With any of these linking methods, you can tag your links with an adcode. This means you will be able to see in your stats which links are performing best for you. All you do is add the code to the end of your link URL as follows:

Normal link: <a href="http://www.hypnosisdownloads.com/?MERGED_AFF_NUMBER">Hypnosis Downloads.com</a>
Link with ad code: <a href="http://www.hypnosisdownloads.com/?MERGED_AFF_NUMBER!adcode">Hypnosis Downloads.com</a>

So for example, your Google Adwords campaign link might be http://www.hypnosisdownloads.com/?MERGED_AFF_NUMBER!Google

(The !adcode doesn't need to be in bold, it's just like that so you can see it easily! ;-)

For anything else you need
I hope this has helped you get going quickly - I promise you'll be glad of the time you take now to set up the program properly. When your commission is rolling in in the coming months, all you will have to do is sit back and enjoy it! (Oh, and perhaps keep promoting your own site of course ;-)

For any other questions, please drop me a line.

All the best
