    You really don't have control over it as an affiliate. Whoever the author is has added those options. You can either include them in your website, list etc. or just market and sell the main product. It's totally up to you which parts or offers you would like to market to your customers.

    What I do to increase the percent of people who buy the upsells, is offer different bonus packages for each upsell they buy.

    I have a bonus I provide for the main offer, and cooler and better stuff for each upgrade they take.

    A great offer wont really need that, because people will upsell if the vendor did a good job.

    Yu don't have to do bonuses but they can help in certain situations

      You can't control it, but you can sweeten the deal by offering more related stuff so they can relate to the OTOs and the trust factor goes up.

    You'd have to sell it through the story you develop with your audience. Product A your first pitch solves problems A, B and C. After the end of that pitch, teach the audience about a problem they have that Product B will solve. and so on..

    It may be difficult to do if the products you are promoting have sales funnels of their own your referral will get lost in. Then your additional product may seem like spam to them if not handled correctly.

    There are a number of ways to work with this!

    First of all, a good sales funnel will have you getting paid through the entire process. Usually when you sign up as an affiliate say at JVZoo.com you will be rewarded throughout the sales cycle.

    Check with the vendor if you are unsure.

    In order to improve your own business though, it is always better to drive traffic to your own landing page and pre-sell them on the affiliate product you pass them on to. This way you are building your own list, and you can then start them down the funnel process of the vendor's product.

    You can follow up with them each day and offer related bonuses as well, build your own relationship with that person and then offer them other products through your autoresponder funnel.

    In some cases you can upload a bonus to the affiliate system (like at JVZoo) so when someone buys through your link they can also access your bonus. This way you can include an addition upsell process of your own if you wish that compliments the OTO and more of the original product.

    Hope that helps?
