This was a topic I knew a lot about so I decided to promote it.<\/p>\n<p>The results were astonishing, during launch week I did over $32,000 in sales and $16,000 in commissions (back then you rarely got offered more than 50% commissions) and I\u2019ve since gone on to do $100,000 in sales and $50,000 in commissions. I also won the JV Competition and collected a few thousand dollars in prize money.<\/p>\n<p>So what did I do that transformed my affiliate earnings?<\/p>\n<p>I OFFERED A BONUS.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, as you can see by the screenshots (click to enlarge) I put together one of the most primitive bonus pages you will ever see, and that primitive page went on to generate 6 figures in sales.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.johnthornhill.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/rrf1.png\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3444 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.johnthornhill.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/rrf1-150x150.png?resize=150%2C150\" alt=\"rrf1\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.johnthornhill.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/rrf1.png?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.johnthornhill.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/rrf1.png?resize=200%2C200&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.johnthornhill.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/rrf1.png?zoom=2&amp;resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.johnthornhill.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/rrf1.png?zoom=3&amp;resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.johnthornhill.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/rtf2.png\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3445 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.johnthornhill.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/rtf2-150x150.png?resize=150%2C150\" alt=\"rtf2\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.johnthornhill.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/rtf2.png?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.johnthornhill.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/rtf2.png?resize=200%2C200&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.johnthornhill.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/rtf2.png?zoom=2&amp;resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.johnthornhill.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/rtf2.png?zoom=3&amp;resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>However, there\u2019s a lot more to this than just adding a bonus and this is what I want you to get.<\/p>\n<p>First of all, I knew the subject inside out. I had been selling Resale Rights products since 2004 so I knew my stuff. Because of this I had PROOF I knew what I was talking about.<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, I educated. I created a video showing how I\u2019d earned over $250,000 selling Resale Rights products, the video was primitive too but it got the message across. People wanted to learn from me. I also made sure every single email I sent out educated people a little more about the subject.<\/p>\n<p>Thirdly, I make sure my bonus would help get more from the product I was promoting. I knew people who bought Resale Rights Fortune would struggle to really get it to work, so I offered personal help and help to get traffic to their offer.<\/p>\n<p>Those 3 things ensured I had a successful campaign.<\/p>\n<p>So if you want to become a successful affiliate you you should make sure you have all of these areas covered.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Know the subject.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Educate.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Offer a tailor made bonus.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>To get number 3 right think to yourself, \u201cwhat could I offer so the customer get\u2019s more from the product I am promoting?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Get that right and you will go far.<\/p>\n<p>My bonuses have came a long way since I promoted Resale Rights Fortune and the pages I build look a lot better. However, these 3 fundamentals remain the same.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s easy to learn about any product you promote, it\u2019s easy to educate, but offering the right bonus isn\u2019t so easy.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/john-dave.com\/bonuses\/commission-gorilla\/\" target=\"_blank\">Commission Gorilla<\/a> makes it a lot easier and it is a game changer, but I\u2019m going to be completely honest with you here.
