- and how to do it, with a reputable well-positioned program.
Choosing the right Affiliate program is the first step, and
in time Affiliate Marketers may be members of a number of
different programs that meet different needs.
When assessing Affiliate Programs, some of the key factors
that should be considered are:
1. Incentives and Benefits
- Is it worthwhile investing your energy in the program?
- Is the program based on REAL products and services
and not smoke and dreams?
- Does the program offer access to resources that are of real
and usable value, that you need and can market?
- Can you promote the products and services as a user, not just
as a marketer?
2. Reliability
- How long has the program been established?
- Is it well hosted with a minimum of downtime?
- Are there testimonials you can check that establish reputation?
3. Confidence
- Are there statements relating to Privacy and Terms of Service?
- Can you be confident of transaction security and tracking?
- Is there accessible contact detail that identifies the website
or Program owner?
- What level of support is offered?
4. Suitability
- Is the program compatible with your business goals?
(and does it add value)
- Are products and services of quality and reputable?
We see these factors as essential to succeeding as an Affiliate
as your identity and credibility becomes linked with the quality
and values of programs you affiliate with and promote.
The secret to affiliate marketing is not in your ability to
market or promote any particular products or services
BUT to develop the ability to market and promote YOURSELF
- the program, products, services and resources are your tools.
Certainly, you will look for returns in the form of commissions
on the product and services that you market successfully yourself
- however, the benefit you obtain from the sale of products and services
by others you have sponsored is THE SUCCESS FACTOR in affiliate marketing.
Your primary objectives must be:
1. To market the PROGRAM to others - who become members of your network
and YOUR sales force
2. To develop a relationship with your network members that goes beyond "making
a one-off sale" to them in the form of a referral benefit or commission
3. To provide support and the benefits of your experience to your
network members that is not focused on selling To them, but BY them.
>From this basic understanding and approach you create your ability to generate
ongoing streams of income from a motivated and active network.
