Killer Tips To Make Most of Hostgator’s Affiliate Program
Now you have are ready with your HostGator affiliate account.
It’s time to generate your first sale.
Are you ready?
Then here we go:
Killer Tip 1: Write a Review
Reviews are the simplest yet most effective way to generate your first sale.
Agree?
The best part about reviews is:
They are the source of passive income. Means you need to write a review once and your review and generate sales for the rest of your life.
That’s crazy!
So write a high-quality review with super cool yet informative images and make sure to add your affiliate link inside your review post.
One more point I need to make here:
Make sure to promote your review post after you have written it. Because, If you don’t promote it, then no traffic and no conversions, no matter how good your post is.
Killer Tip 2: Promote Special Offers
HostGator offers great deals and discount on special days like Black Friday, Cyber Monday, New Year day etc.
Make sure you take advantage of these special offers and then, promote them to your audience.
Special Offers are a great way to make quick sales as HostGator offers huge discounts that no one wants to miss.
Killer Tip 3: Offer Incentives
I have been using this technique and it works better than every other technique. Offering incentives is like
You scratch my back I’ll scratch Yours
You may have noticed some of the bloggers who offer free WordPress setup service. But there’s a catch.
Let me explain:
The free WordPress setup service is actually free for those who buy hosting using their’s affiliate link (blogger’s affiliate link).
This incentive technique works like a charm.
Incentives can be a free ebook, free blog consultation service etc.
Killer Tip 4: Use Banner and Links on Sidebars
The sidebar is a very crucial part of any blog. If used properly, the sidebar can help you to boost your page views, get more subscribers, boost lead generation etc.
You can use sidebars to add banners for promoting HostGator Hosting. HostGator has a huge range of banners to choose from based on size and color.
But what if I told you that using a simple technique can double or triple your conversions?
It sounds cool, right?
But you heard it right.
Instead of simply adding a banner to you sidebar, making it sticky can double or triple your conversions.
Follow this guide to make your banners sticky easily.
Hostgator Affiliate Program Review And Issues
Previously lots of users reported about many referrals shown as inactive. Actually, the reason was that HostGator pays only for an active account and not for inactive users i.e who signed up but never uploaded the website on their server.
So Many users had this issue and reported about unpaid payment and many referrals to be shown as inactive or fraud.
But now the HostGator affiliate program has moved to Impact radius platform and now there is no such issue like fraud or inactive referrals.
Also if your referred user signs up for another hosting account then your referral will be voided. Honestly, till now I haven’t faced such issues and successfully running it for over a year.
