So you want to choose an affiliate program or are you already
involved in one?
These are six tips you must understand deeply. But first,
understand that affiliate programs work just like network
marketing. I said it works like it because it involves
down-lines.
Now to get started. Once you understand these tips and use them
wisely, you would make a real success out of the affiliate
program you choose.
1.Choose the Right Affiliate Program.
Before you pick an Affiliate program, make double sure it is the
right one. Check the company's profile. You cannot be in a
moving vehicle and remain stagnant. If your affiliate program is
one that makes steady progress, you also make progress. If it is
stagnant, you inevitably will be stagnant. Check for the
company's age. Companies in their first two years pay high, but
they face the risk of quitting all too soon. They are but
infants. Companies in their first seven years are more likely to
be stable. Older companies are reliable. Very reliable. They
have a track record which you can easily check out and have good
organisation built from years of existence.
2.What are the Companies' Products.
Please be very careful. Only a thin line separates Multi-level
Marketing (MLM) or affiliate programs from illegality. You are
however safe if the company has a product it sells. Never join a
pyramid plan. I am not an expert at that but I suppose pyramid
plans are scams. If the company does not offer a product or
service, you might as well forget it.
3.Check the Compensation Plan.
Your primary reason for joining an affiliate program is to make
money! Should I say that again? To make money! So please, check
the compensation plan. Make sure it suits you. When dose the
company pay? At what rate? How does the company pay? If it
doesn't go down well with you, just forget it and find yourself
another affiliate program with which you feel comfortable.
Note however that even if the commission schedule is small but
sure, the work you do can help you blow it all up. Think of $1
in 1000 places ($1000). It can be achieved weekly. You can
realise that with almost all affiliate programs.
The bottom line, choose a program that suits you.
4.Join Free Programs But... A lot of affiliate programs allow
you to join for free. I suggest you join the free ones. My
reason is; you can easily leave without much loss. I feel sorry
for people who have tried several programs and paid heavily just
to realize it is not the right one. But if you think you can
afford it, then the choice is yours.
Once you've made a choice, remember these last two tips!
5.Build Your Team of Affiliates.
This can be the most excruciating part of it all, but once you
have a team of down-lines who are active, it is well worth it.
Always remember, "for every twelve, there is always a Judas."
There will always be bad apples in a barrel. Find the good ones,
train them, help them and you have simply helped yourself.
How do you know the good ones? Simple; watch out for those that
ask questions, contact you and fulfil all requirements in short
periods of time. Go for them and you are building a money
spinning business.
6.Put Yourself in the Shoes of Those you Want to Recruit.
Make things easy for them. Put together all the information and
deliver it to them. I know it took you sometime getting the
information. Help them get it in a shorter time. Probably in few
hours. Contact them always. Answer their questions. Give them
all the help you can. Show them what to do and help them do it
right.
Remember, you help them; you simply help yourself. Put yourself
in their shoes and do exactly what you would have loved if you
were in their shoes. ---------------------------------------- **
