Affiliate Marketing: Another Way to Win

Affiliate Marketing: Another Way to Win
Copyright 2004 Jude Wright All Rights Reserved

You’ve a nice looking website, full of content. You have links to all your favorite affiliate programs. But - no one is clicking. What else can you do to get someone interested enough to click on the product?s sales page?

Did you know that you can have your own affiliate program even if you don?t have your own product? Well, you can! Simply join programs that have a 2-tier affiliate program.
.
Here?s what to do:

When you add the link from your website to the affiliate program?s sales page, also add another link saying ?Join this Affiliate Program.? The affiliate programs that are 2-tier will provide you with a second link for signing up
your own affiliates. Now, when your ?affiliate? sells a product, YOU get a portion of the commission.

Of course, the commission won?t be as high, but it?s still a commission. And if you have enough affiliates signed up under you, they can be significant.

Sometimes the people who sign up using your send tier affiliate program link will end up purchasing the product themselves. Now you will get a commission from this sale plus you?ll commission from any sale your affiliate should make in the future.

Want another idea?

Create a mini-site for just ONE of your affiliate products. Make sure it is one that has an excellent commission structure and a 2-tier program. You won?t need to create a lot of different pages with a lot of content because this is a ?sales? site - your sales site.

All you need is two pages. On the first page, create your sales copy. Do not use exactly the same sales letter that is used on the sales page for that product. Make it unique. Make it yours. Give it your own twist, your own personality. On this page you’ll have a link to your affiliate program
to page 2.

Create page two. This page will describe the affiliate program for this product and will have a link to the affiliate program sign-up page for the affiliate program product.

Now, promote this page - your product?s affiliate program. An affiliate marketer will sign up for this affiliate program under your affiliate ID. And he or she will make sales. If you can get many ?good? affiliates, ones who work hard to promote the product, you will make more on commissions that by actually selling the product yourself.

Another thing to think about is that you could receive residual income from your affiliates. Even if an affiliate stops promoting your affiliate product, it is likely he or she has written articles using their affiliate ID in the resource box for that article. When the article has been submitted to numerous article directory sites, and used by other web sites in ezines or as web site content, that affiliate ID will still be active. So, you win again!

Also, it will be easier to sign up new affiliates to your affiliate program than it will be to sell the product. Why? Because the affiliate marketer is motivated to make money. And the more money he makes for himself, the more money he makes for you! This is a good thing!

So, don?t only think of affiliate marketing websites as content sites. Keep an open mind. Find new ways to promote your affiliate programs - and your affiliate program?s affiliate program - to get even more choices for your multiple streams of income.

Review: Dreams Not For Sale

Since there was not anything good to watch on TV last night, I decided to read another ebook I had picked up recently. It’s not been heavily promoted (I think I’ve only seen it mentioned on one of the umpteen Internet marketing lists I am on) and is more reasonably priced ($47) than most ebooks, so it s. (continues)

Overview of affiliate marketing networks

I am often asked by clients who’re looking to join affiliate programs - where do I find good?programs to promote on my web site?Because I use them myself, I?recommend they look into joining either one or all of the following:

Commission Junction

I have been with CJ for 4 years now (since 2003) promoting domain registrars, web hosting companies and other businesses that target small and home business owners. In my personal opinion,?CJ is the?best?place to find affiliate programs.

Finding and joining programs to promote is easy and they provide you with multiple ways of doing so, including banner, text links, and content like articles, etc.?I like their tracking system better than any other program I belong to. They pay monthly (on or around the 20th) by your choice of check or direct deposit. The downside to CJ? I’ve no complaints except for the time my payment never arrived. I had to wait 30 days before they would do anything and they deducted $25 from my check to issue a new one. That stunk but otherwise, I recommend Commission Junction to everyone.

oneNetworkDirect (formerly Digital River)

I’ve been with OneNetwork for a few years now, ever since one of my top earning programs moved from CJ over to them. Their selection of programs?is limited but includes Symantec, Pinnacle, and LiveChat. I don?t care for the admin area compared to others, but tracking clicks and sales is very easy. I like that I receive notice when sales are made via email. I have never had a problem receiving payment, but they do hold payments longer than CJ.

LinkShare

I am new to LinkShare, having signed up to advertise a program on another one of my web sites. LinkShare, however,?is not new to the affiliate marketing scene?having been around since 1996. They have a huge selection of programs to choose from and I have so far found their tracking system to work very nicely.

While I’ven’t personally joined ClickBank, I know many people who’ve had success with them. Like the others above, sign-up is free. ClickBank specializes in digitally delivered products like ebooks, software, music, etc.

In addition to using the above companies to find affiliate programs, many?businesses run their programs themselves. So if you find a product that compliments your web site and you would like to earn money promoting it, look for a link (usually up top or at the bottom) to join. Make sure you read over?all of their terms of use and find out how they pay you and how often.

Affiliate Marketing?s Brave New World

Want to ponder the future and prognosticate on what works, what might work and what will work? There’s not a ton of places to do that.? There are a few blogs that come close, but I can only think of a few blogs dedicated to the realm of amateur affiliate marketing and discussions of what is up. (continues)
