AFFILIATE MARKETING – DO UPSELLS REALLY WORK?

If you’re an affiliate marketer do you promote products that have upsells and is it worth it?

What are affiliate upsells?

Affiliate upsells is a way for an affiliate vendor to promote and sell additional product features. It is generally part of a sales funnel where several products are promoted to a customer. For an affiliate marketer, this is a great way to increase their affiliate commissions.

Based on my experiences with affiliate marketing, I can honestly say promoting products with upsells is definitely worth it. Especially if the product your promoting has high conversions and low refund rates.

The reason why I particularly like products with upsells is the fact you receive an overall higher commission from just promoting one single product.

Here’s an example of affiliate commissions earned from promoting the Sqribble product:

With this product, the commissions received for the first original product is $19.90. Then the upsell commissions range from $29.34 to $67.00. There was a total of 4 upsells and the overall commissions from this one product was a total of $225.12, which is not bad at all.

Another few examples of other upsells are shown below:

As you can see, as an affiliate marketer increasing your commissions by promoting products with upsells makes sense. You can learn more about creating upsells and sales funnels from the Secret Funnel Strategy
