Today I will be introducing you to affiliate programs and how they can help your business in succeeding online. IF you don’t know what an affiliate program is, it’s simply a system in which you offer a commission to anyone who generates sales of your products. Affiliate recruiting is what you need to know.
This means that someone promotes your product for you and when they generate a sale, you pay them a cut of the profits. This is awesome because you only pay when they generate a sale and you make money so you never pay out of pocket!
Pretty amazing isn’t it?
By having an affiliate program you can essentially have thousands of people all promoting your product for free! All of the highly successful online businesses use the affiliate program model and it’s vital that you do as well. It really isn’t hard and people just like you do it every single day with no technical knowledge.
Now, I wanted to let you know some of the command mistakes that businesses who fail on the Internet make and how you can avoid them. These mistakes are fatal and can cause almost anyone to fold and never make a profit.
Let’s get into these three gems…
1) Throwing money blindly into paid advertising hoping it will work.
2) Spending all of your free time trying to trick the search engines into sending you traffic.
3) Not operating an affiliate program.
You see many people waste money advertising with no idea if it will be successful and many others waste time trying to get free search engine traffic. While these things can be done successfully, they can both be time and money consuming. In order to really create success you need to have an affiliate program that you can generate instant profits from.
By now you realize that having your own affiliate program is absolutely essential if you hope to achieve any kind of success online. I want to go over some big time problems that prevent affiliate programs from succeeding.
These are the biggest killers when it comes to operating an affiliate program so make sure that you pay attention…
1) Not providing your affiliates with the right promotional tools.
2) Using complicated software that you don’t fully understand.
3) Hoping people will just find your program.
While it’s sad, it’s also true that many people use software that confuses not only them but their affiliates which, in turn, turns potential affiliates off.
You will also see some people that just don’t provide tools to promote their products but “just a link”! You need to give your affiliate pre-made ads to use! The last problem is hoping people will just find you and the truth is you do have to go out and show your program to people. Now, this isn’t in the traditional mean (in person) but by e-mail.
Many people think that finding affiliates is just so difficult that they could never do it on their own. I’m here to tell you that it’s not only easy but something that anyone can do without a huge investment of time.
Think I’m pulling your chain?
Here’s how you can do this now using nothing but a free tool in just about 5 minutes starting now… Load up Google.com and type in the main keyword or key phrase for your product and search it. Next, scan the results, visit the pages and find the contact information for the owner of the site.
Write it down.
You should now have a beginning list of people that would be good candidates for your affiliate program. I’m sure that you can now see how simple this can be using the strategy outlined above.
Now, let’s talk about “the snowball effect”
You might be wondering what “the snowball effect” is and that’s the whole basis for today’s message. You see, there are two different types of affiliate programs; one tier and two tier. In a one tier, an affiliate gets paid on all sales that they refer to your site. In a two tier program the affiliate gets paid on all of the sales they refer you and all of the sales of the people they refer to you. (Two levels if you will)
I recommend a two tier program because this gives your affiliates a reason to promote your affiliate program itself getting even more affiliates for you! After you get to a certain number of affiliates with a two tier system, your program will start growing on it’s own without interaction from you!
This is what the snowball effect is!
Fuyuuh! That’s it.. Affiliate recruiting is one of those skills that you need to know if you want to make it big in the internet. I’m have not reach that level yet.. The information you get here is from my little research in recruiting affiliate. It’s a compilation..
