Thank you for adhering to these four very simple rules.
What could be better than exceeding your personal sales goals for
a given month or year? How about doubling, tripling or even more
of you sales goal for the month? This is exactly what affiliates
can do for you. The amount of growth potential through affiliates
is unlimited; the more affiliates you have the more money you can
make, after all, if Sam Walton tried to run every Wal-Mart store,
he obviously wouldn’t be very successful. You must realize that
for maximum growth you cannot do it alone. Think of the success
of companies such as Avon or Home Interiors. Their success is
based on two things; a great product and excellent affiliate
programs.
To attract affiliates to your company you should make it worth
their time. Offering one percent of sales, is not an attractive
offer, the higher the commission that you are able to offer your
affiliates the more affiliates will be tempted to join your team.
You should also provide your affiliates with the tools that they
will need to successfully market your product such as banner ads,
articles, and anything else that will help them to better market
the product. You should provide the affiliates with updated
product information through newsletters, new promotional
campaigns and other things to motivate and inform the affiliates.
You can choose to run your affiliate program in a few different
ways, both of which are beneficial to your business. A one-tier
affiliate program allows you to generally offer a larger
commission and pays on one level. The affiliate will receive a
predetermined amount for each sale. Using a two-tier affiliate
program, affiliates are paid on two different levels. This is
done by allowing the affiliates to recruit others to sell under
them. In this situation, the top level affiliate would receive
a slightly larger commission than the recruit or second level
affiliate. For example if the top level seller makes 20% of
the sale, then she/he would make 15% giving the second level
affiliate the 5%.
Setting up the affiliate program can also be done in two
different ways. One way is to do it yourself through an affiliate
tracking software. This software will provide you with a way to
track affiliate sales as well as allow the affiliates to view
their progress. The downside to this option is that you are
responsible for making payments. You can also choose to hire an
affiliate tracking company to do all the work for you. These
companies will allow the use of credit cards and completely run
the affiliate program from billing customers, paying affiliates,
and also pay you. This is a great option for the busy business
owner or the beginning business owner and it is affordable as
most affiliate tracking companies charge a small one time fee.
However you choose to run your affiliate program it is sure to
increase profits for your business.
