Just as we are creatures of comfort in our everyday lives, we are also creatures of comfort (at least… some of us) when it comes to picking out the next set of affiliate campaigns we’re going to be running. For the most part, lots of people like to go with the flow and pick the popular offers that many of their affiliate friends or running, or they like to go with the offers that look very easy to build on and convert with. While doing these things isn’t necessarily wrong per se, you are limiting yourself to the extreme. There’s a whole other world out there of affiliate campaigns you probably barely even knew about!
So instead of just going through and carefully selecting out which offers you want to run as if you’re walking around barefoot on broken glass, just go ahead and pick some random stuff. Granted, if you see right away that a particular offer is converting horribly or not performing well than you can skip it and still technically follow the exercise.
So go ahead and pick about two-three offers (or more if you’re willing to do them) and write them out on a list. Now study this list and try to get as creative as possible and really think of some unique and effective ways that you can run these campaigns. You might be feeling sick to your stomach at this point because you’ll be outside of your element and wishing you could just bail at the drop of the hat. Fortunately for you though, you’re not going anywhere…
Now take the campaigns that you’ve selected and worked on and go ahead and test them a bit to see how they do on the conversion side of things. Odds are the abysmal conversion % that you thought the offers would probably have will indeed not to very badly at all. The most important thing about this entire exercise though, in addition to getting you out of your comfort zone and trying new affiliate offers, is that it will give you a very, VERY good chance at finding some potential offer gems.
So step out of your comfort zone and get going on your way towards expanding your affiliate marketing horizons. You may even enjoy an increase in what you were previously pulling in from affiliate marketing! Does that sound like fun? Of course it does, now get going and don’t hold anything back!
