Most Dish Network affiliates are content to earn several hundred dollars a month. But by applying these three simple ideas, you can potentially turn $300 into $3000 overnight.

1. Promote the Best Dish Network Affiliate Program

The largest Dish Network affiliate program claims to have recruited over 250,000 affiliates. Ironically, this same satellite affiliate program offers one of the *lowest* payouts in the industry - a measly $50 per sale.

You could instantly double or even triple your earnings by switching to higher paying programs.

2. Collect Email Addresses

It is a well-known fact that most people do not make a purchase on the first contact. You may need to send out your message more than 5 times to make the sale. So, collect the contact information of your visitors before sending them to the Dish Network retailer's website.

You can encourage visitors to give you their email address by offering free reports or ebooks. You can then follow-up with these contacts to remind them to order satellite TV.

Plus, with a list of names and email addresses, you can send other marketing messages to your subscribers and earn ongoing commissions instead of a one-time sale only. Develop a relationship with your subscribers by providing not just sales pitches but also useful information on a regular basis. The trust you build will pay dividends when you send your marketing messages.

3. Ask for a Raise

If you are already a successful satellite affiliate who can generate a substantial number of sales, approach the retailer to negotiate a higher commission for your sales.

Dish Network dealers understand the tremendous value of power satellite affiliates. They know that a successful affiliate can drive hundreds of sales. And because Dish Network pays retailers a small residual commission for each customer, retailers may even be willing to pay a stong affiliate at an initial loss in order to gain a substantial number of new customers.

Remember, too, that you are a zero-risk investment to your Dish Network retailer. So, don't be shy about requesting an increase in your commissions. Just try to be reasonable about it.

These three strategies can increase your earnings significantly in a very short period of time. You can instantly double or even triple your earnings by switching to a higher paying Dish Network affiliate program. But don't stop there. If you are already a power satellite affiliate, be sure to approach retailers to negotiate an even higher commission. And finally, by collecting the email addresses of your visitors, not only will you make more satellite sales but you'll also gain a subscriber that can provide you with a lifetime of income.
