1) Promote high value, qualified products

The first rule does not only affect residual commission products, but also applies to any affiliate products you’re promoting.

Remember, it is the benefits your referred customers receive to warrant them to continue investing in their recurring products.

2) Squeeze more money from closed-door affiliate programs.

Closed-door affiliate programs are those that require you to buy their products to be their affiliates. You are not going to be charged an arm and a leg to join; but you need to find the good ones to join.

Here’s something you may not know about closed-door affiliate programs. They are generally to convert better!

Because you get lower chances of “getting crashed”- Ouch, another dude’s promoting exact the same product to your prospects!

There’s also less chance for commission pickpockets to steal your affiliate commissions by replacing your affiliate links with theirs, because only customers get permissions to promote the products.

“But you’re kidding me! It cost me money to join an affiliate program?!”

Well, many public affiliate programs pay you less (for example, they may not pay you on backend sales) or not convert as well as the closed-door ones, so this all balances out.

In life it’s hard to break the “you get what you pay for” rule, the “sowing / reaping” principle.

3) Pick out services that existing customers unlikely to stop their recurring subscriptions

Impossible? Okay, I’ll show you some. Most products of this kind are technical related services.

As you may notice, I’m promoting a service that can help your sites rank well in Google. Each of the sites gets 250 “one-way” backlinks, which will have a great impact on search engine rankings, especially for Google.

So what if the customer stops his recurring payment? The “one-way” back links will get disappeared immediately the day his account expires.

Another good example is a nice link trace tool I promote, which can cloak affiliate links, track sign ups & sales conversions.

Think about it. When people got all their cloaked affiliate links spread on the net, do you consider they will ever think of stopping the service and make all their links invalid?

4) Bonus bribery strategy

This strategy is simple but it works. Offer your prospects some bonuses if they sign up under you rather than other marketers!

How many resale rights products do you have in your hard disk? I guess dozens of, hmm? Just pick out the ones that related to the recurring products you’re promoting.

Ask your referrals to provide you their payment receipts and give them your resale products bonuses to download.

5) Help your referrals to benefit more!

After some time of your hard promotion, you probably get quite a few referred recurring customers. And as you may noticed, many of these recurring affiliate programs allow you to contact with your referrals. Make use of this powerful feature! Introduce yourself to them, share your tips, make friends with them and get them stay longer for their subscriptions.

It’s not as hard as you think - just show your personal experience with that recurring product, like how you take advantage of it, how you benefit from it. Your referral will be truly thankful to you for helping them and more loyal.
