So you are an affiliate marketer. And what is your number one goal? To maximize affiliate revenue? Just a guess. Hope I was right.

So you are driving traffic to your affiliate links and they are sending you huge checks every month, right?

What if you drove that traffic to a squeeze page instead and captured your visitors’ name and email address so that you can send them to multiple affiliate sites rather than just one?

This month, I have sold more than 10 items for every 100 subscribers on my list. That is equivalent to about a one-time conversion rate of 10%. That would be practically impossible if I just sent them to one site one time.

But I develop a relationship with my subscribers. And then when I send them to a website, they trust me. They buy. And around 10% of them have this month.

So what do articles have to do with 10%? I personally believe that one of the big reasons my conversion rate is so high is that the bulk of my subscribers have come from one of the articles I have written. You see, it is all about trust. And articles are kind of like a trust-screening mechanism.

I mean, think about it. You have been reading my article for about one minute now. Do you trust me? If you do not, you will click out when you get to the end of this paragraph. If you do, you will opt in to one of my lists. I will send you a free something, depending on the list. I will send you more free stuff and information, and I will also send you to my web pages and my affiliate recommendations. And because you trust me, you will try some of it out. But you would not have if you had just stumbled on my sales page on a search engine.
