Sacrificing your affiliate commission
Lets say you are trying to promote some product A. Product B is a secondary product, maybe something you promote later in your autoresponder series, or maybe something that is a little old.
Why not make a deal with the owner of Product B, and say "Give me a special link so that my subscribers can get your product for 50%, but I make no affiliate commission from it." This is assuming the affiliate cut was 50%.
Then tell your subscribers that if they buy Product A through you, you will give them a 50% discount on product B. The owner loses no money by making you this deal, you don't make say $20, but you might make a whole ton more commissions on a a higher selling product.
I don't see a lot of people doing this. Why not?
