The 9 Best Tips to Become a Successful Affiliate at Digistore
1. Network and Build Relationships
Especially in
the direct response marketing space, people like to do business with people
they like, so make sure to network as much as possible and build relationships with
vendors and even other affiliates. Just like with your affiliate promotions,
instead of just trying to sell, do your best to build personal connections and
most importantly, GIVE VALUE! And remember, our Digistore24 Affiliate Growth
Managers are here to connect you with other players in the industry to get you
everything you need, including introductions to the top vendors on our marketplace.
Pro tip: If you are looking to network with top players in the industry, the
two best annual events/ conferences you simply cannot miss are Affiliate Summit
West aka ASW (held in Las Vegas, Nevada) and the Traffic and Conversion Summit
aka T&C (held in San Diego, California).

2. Start by First Concentrating on One Niche
If you are just
starting out, begin by concentrating on just one affiliate niche — ideally, one
you are already passionate about! The good news: There are more than 20 different
verticals/niches on our marketplace with over 8,000 offers to choose from.
Pro tip: The
three most popular niches on the Digistore24 marketplace are Health & Fitness,
Business & Investment (Biz Opp), and Personal Development.
3. Track Your Activities and Numbers
It is always
important to track all of your numbers—revenue, clicks, conversions, EPC, and
so on. At Digistore24, you will get unique tracking promolinks which you can customize
for all of your affiliate promotions. And the Digistore24 Business Cockpit and
Reports sections will help you streamline your reporting so you can make sure
you are never leaving any money on the table.
Understanding
your audience/traffic in detail, including information about their demographics
and interests, will help you be more successful and rake in more cash by
determining what makes them tick and what products they are likely to buy.
5. Test (and Constantly Improve!)
Whether with
different ads or email swipes, different types of offers, different copy, or different
campaign times, it is always important to test, test, and test! Little changes
can go a long way toward helping you make a big increase in sales.
6. Determine Your Hottest Offers (80/20Rule)
It is likely
that 20% (or less) of the offers you promote will account for 80% of your affiliate
revenue, so make sure you determine what offers (or types of offers) do best with
your audience or traffic. At Digistore24, we have offers from pretty much every
vertical you can think of, and per vertical, a variety of different offers you
can promote.
7. Try Different Swipes or Assets
It is always
recommended to try new email swipes or promotional ad assets to keep things
fresh and maximize clicks. Check out an offer’s Affiliate Support Page for new swipes
or promotional assets, or reach out to one of our amazing Affiliate Growth Managers
who can gladly connect with vendors to see if they have anything new you can
try out.
We always recommend
testing newly launched offers. Why? They are likely not already burned out by
being promoted by other affiliates, and your audience is also likely craving
something new. Think about it: If you have a diabetes email list, your
followers are likely to pull the trigger and purchase if you present to them a
new way to lower their blood sugar. Link up with our Affiliate Growth Managers
to stay in the know about new offers that launch or even offer you haven’t yet
tested. You can also follow us on social media or look out for our email
newsletter to stay informed. Another great way to stay in the know about new
offers is by checking out our YouTube channel, where each week on Coffee &
Cash, we’ll announce the newest hot offers on the Digistore24 Marketplace.
9. Determine What Types of Landing Pages Convert Best with Your Traffic
There are so many different types of landing pages—whether it be text-only, VSL (video sales letter), long-form presell pages, advertorials, short-form sales pages, and the list goes on—so make sure to try promoting different types of landing pages to see which convert best with your traffic.
