Protect your Affiliate Commissions!
Protecting your affiliate commissions should be your top priority if you want to minimise your profit lost. I guess this is often the most overlooked part of every affiliate marketing campaign as most marketers would assume that the marketplace will help them track their sales and commissions.
What happens if there is some technical glitches that prevents the system to recognize you as the affiliate who made the sales? Will you ever find out if this happens?
Sadly to say that you will never find out and you will lose out on your affiliate commissions. Ignorance is bliss but losing the commissions is the worst thing that can happen to you as you have worked hard for nothing.
It may have already happened to you. But today, I would like to teach you a method which I used to put a stop to all this nonsense.
A hint to guess the method.
“You can see this method used in almost every major launches where a mega bonus is given as a reward from buying though a guru’s affiliate link.”
Yes you have guessed it.
“Make use of your customers to tell you that they have purchased from your affiliate link by sending you their receipt for verification!”
This is a simple yet powerful method of tracking your commissions and the way to do it is to simply offer a free gift in return from buying through your affiliate link.
That’s it.
This also put a psychological effect on your customers to make sure that they buy through your affiliate link after clearing their cookies if they want your free gift.
Another advantage of this is to that you don’t even need to cloak your link if you find it troublesome since you have already tell them straight that they should buy through your affiliate link.
If you like to see an example of how I did it, go to my blog post titled “Ewen Chia Seminar in Singapore” to have a look.
Hope you find this simple method useful!

That is a common mistake that most affiliates make.
I think I am also responsible for that mistake as well.
