Secrets To Starting Your Own Successful Affiliate Program
Imagine getting all of the benefits of hiring your own
sales team without any of the hassles of hiring and
managing employees. Sound like a dream come true?
Welcome to the world of affiliates. That's basically what
you are getting when someone signs up as your affiliate.
They sell your product however they want, and you just pay
them a straight commission. No headaches, no hassles. As
long as you do it the right way, it can really work
wonders. Read the following tips on getting your
affiliate program up and running the right way.
Get your program setup
You should automate the affiliate program with a quality
program such as Web Business Wizard. They can keep trac
of all your affiliate details for you as well as offering
other important services.
If you want to manage your affiliate program yourself, you
can buy some CGI scripts at www.cgi-resources.com.
Pay your affiliates well
There are plenty of affiliate programs on the web, but few
are worth anyone's time. I've seen programs paying out 2%
on a fairly cheap product. That is a waste of
time for
anyone, and very few people will promote it heavily or for
very long if they aren't making money. It is important to
make it worth their while for an affiliate to sell your
product.
I'd recommend paying out at least 20% if you can still make
a decent profit on sales. Paying your affiliates well will
greatly improve the odds that they stick with your program
and continue to send you sales. Remember, a smaller profit
on a large number of sales is better than a larger profit
on few sales.
Offer a quality product of service
This tip could be extended beyond just your affiliate
program. The quality of your products can make or break
your business and your affiliate program along with it.
Getting your own affiliate program can really boost your
sales. The sooner you get one started, the sooner you can
enjoy your added profits.
