5 Ways to Use Special Reports To Make Money Promoting Products

These special reports provide valuable information to your audience.

They are shorter than an ebook, but longer than a handout and only contain premium content.

There’s nothing quite like getting a free special Salehoo review about a topic or product you’re passionate about and that’s exactly why we’ve created this article for you.

You just have to and want to know what you are buying and want first-hand information.

These reports serve two purposes:

1) They provide a lot of valuable content in one downloadable package.

The information in one of our re-brandable special reports is top-notch and considered premium content.

People love getting free stuff, especially of this quality.

Even though many affiliates do offer free content in the forms of articles, videos, and email newsletters, there’s something special about downloading a PDF report.

It’s almost like getting a book – a real book, that is.

2) They act as a sales funnel.

These reports were not only written to deliver great value in-and-of-themselves, but they’re also meant to pre-sell your product and to ask for a sale.

The idea is that if the reader enjoys the material, they can click through one of the links contained inside the PDF which will direct them to your sales page.

The way it works is you may upload your custom affiliate hop links into all of the links contained in the PDF (instructions below).

We’ve scattered links to the sales page all throughout the special report pages to make sure there’s a good chance the reader will click through to buy our program.

So, someone who is reading your “branded” report and clicks on one of the links inside will be sent through your affiliate hop link and to our sales page.

You will receive credit for all sales that are referred through the special report (up to 60 days after clicking through as per Clickbank’s policy).

5 Ways to Use These Special Reports to Make Money Promoting Your Offers

You have permission to use these reports in any way you’d like, under two conditions.

This may only be given away as a free gift or bonus and only for the purpose of promoting the program or products.

Secondly, look if you do not have permission to edit, alter, or otherwise modify anything contained within the PDF (text, images, etc.), with the exception of the hyperlinks, which may be replaced with your affiliate hop link.

 

Even though these special reports are meant to be given away for free, there are a few ways to make the most of them:

Best Method!

Offer to give away one of our re-brandable PDF special reports as a free bonus for subscribing to your email newsletter.

This will serve three purposes.

First, it will increase your newsletter opt-ins and help you build your list.

More people will want to sign up if they know they’re getting something for free.

Secondly, it will offer valuable content to your readers, which will give them a good first impression of you and your newsletter.

Third, it will pre-sell the products and direct readers to your sales page to earn your affiliate commissions.

All you need to do after you’ve branded the special report with your custom affiliate hop link is to upload it to your web server and place a download link to the PDF special report on your newsletter opt-in “thank you” page.

After you’ve done that, this strategy keeps working for you with no additional effort.

Also, including a book cover graphic within your newsletter opt-in form would be a great way to draw attention to the extra bonus and increase subscribes.

In the same vein, you can also offer one of our special reports to your Facebook friends and fans, and also to people who follow you on Twitter to help you build your audience.

Host a mini-contest on your blog, or social networking community (ie Twitter or Facebook) to see how many comments or retweets/likes you can get for a specific blog post or webpage (e.g. your review page).

The contest can be set up in any way you’d like, but one idea is to announce that if a particular article gets 100 comments (or likes, retweets, diggs, incoming links, etc.), then you’ll award everyone who comments with a free special report.

Hint: Make sure it’s a really big number so that you can distribute the report to as many people as possible, but not so big that it’s not realistically achievable.

100 may be too many or too few depending on the size of your audience.

If you sell products of your own, you can include one of these special reports as an extra bonus for purchasing.

So, when someone buys your program, you would include a copy of our PDF report with their purchase and bring in additional sales as an affiliate.

Offer it as a free gift “just because” by advertising it on your website, especially on a page that gets a lot of traffic.

An ad on your homepage is a perfect place for advertising this type of bonus report.

How to Rebrand Your Special Report With Your Affiliate Hoplink

Important: It is your responsibility to make sure that your PDF reports are correctly branded with your affiliate hop link before distributing them.

If you don’t rebrand them correctly, you may not receive the affiliate commissions owed to you simply because of a technical error.

We don’t want that to happen, right?

This is why we’ve put together the following detailed instructions that will help you brand the product files with your hop link properly.

Wish you all the best!
