Should
You Start Your Own Affiliate Program?
Copyright 2004 By Willie Crawford
If you operate an internet-based business and
market your own product(s), you eventually ask yourself
"Should I Start My Own Affiliate Program?" Even if
you don't have your own product, I think you should
have your own affiliate program. You can start an
affiliate program marketing products you have reprint
rights to.
Here are reasons you should start your own affiliate
program:
1) Since you only pay for performance, you have no
advertising investment. Your job becomes to recruit
affiliates who will do the advertising for you. If
you have a two-tier affiliate program, your affiliates
will even do most of the recruiting for you.
2) You don't have to spend so much time worrying
about searchengine rankings. Your properly trained
affiliates will do things to get your site higher
rankings. Your army of affiliates will place thousands
of links to your site and build your site's link
popularity.
3) You don't have to worry about pay-per-click
searchengines. Your affiliates will set up campaigns
to market your product.
4) You multiply yourself. You can only personally
reach a small portion of your market. Your army of
affiliates extends that reach hundreds of times over.
5) You don't need to worry about building a huge
list. Building a huge list takes time, but recruiting
affiliates who already have huge lists takes minutes.
Your affiliates reach hundreds of thousands of prospects
who will buy your products based upon affiliates
recommending your product to their list.
6) An affiliate program allows you to make more money.
Your percentage from each sale may be lower, but your
total revenues will be hundreds if not thousands of
times as much. You get a smaller piece of the pie
but the pie grows so huge that your share of the pie
still adds up to so much more.
7) Setting up an affiliate program is much easier
than you think. You can use a program like my
ProfitAutomation.com to:
- Track all affiliate activity
- Track all sales
- Automatically communicate with your affiliates
- Automatically communicate with affiliates prospects
(as your autoresonders do the conversion)
- Automatically train your affiliates
- Automatically track which promotional tools are
working best
A properly set up affiliate program increases your
sales manyfold and requires only a tiny fraction of
the work. You do need good organization and the proper
automation tools. You do need to put in some work
getting the affiliate program launched. Then the
affiliate program takes on a life of it's own and your
business steadily grows from the efforts of others.
You reward them for their hard work, and your affiliate
reward you a larger bank account.
If you don't have your own affiliate program start
planning one today. Make sure you have a quality
product, plan everything out, get an affiliate management
program like http://ProfitAutomation.com, and watch
your business grow itself!
