An affiliate program
is simply a system that enables you to enlist other website owners to
promote your products and you pay them a commission if they make a sale.
The process goes
as follows:
- You provide the
website owner with a unique link back to your website
- The website owner
attaches the link to a banner or a string of text and places it on
their site
- When their
visitors click on the link, they will be forwarded to your website.
- If the visitor
makes a purchase you will pay the website owner an agreed upon
commission
In
order to make the process work, you need a reliable affiliate tracking
system that will:
- Track and record
the visitors purchases
- Send you and your
affiliate and email to alert you that a sale was made
- Provide you and
your affiliate a way to check the sales statistics
You could purchase
an expensive affiliate program software package and spend a ton of time
trying to figure out how to integrate it into your website. Or you can
work with one of the many companies that will run your program for you
on their servers.
We work with a
company called Affiliate Tracking and they have a great system that has
worked well for us. Their Basic system is all you need for now.
It's $39 a month and the set-up fee is $75.

If you're still wondering
if you really need an affiliate program, check out the benefits of
having one:
-
Easily
Enlist An Army of Motivated Associates! They'll work really
hard to promote your product or service
--
with no risk to you
--
because it's a win-win partnership! When they send you a paying
customer, you pay them a commission. If they don't make any sales, it
doesn't matter because it didn't cost either of you a dime!
-
Advertise
Your Business On Every Corner Of The Web -- For FREE! With
hundreds, even thousands, of associates personally recommending your
products and services to their subscribers, it's easy to get your
name, your products, and your URL on sites big and small all across
the Internet... at absolutely no cost!
-
Never Lose Money On
Ineffective Advertising
--
Ever Again
You ONLY pay when a sale is made -- not merely for
impressions or click-throughs. If an associate
drives visitors to your site, but produces no sales, you owe him
nothing. You only ever pay for real sales!
-
Track 10,000
Associates As Easily As 1 Associate!
Software keeps track of which associate made which sale...
where each customer is coming from... exactly how much you owe each
associate... plus much more
--
all automatically!
-
Skyrocket Your Sales With
Third-Party Recommendations
that are far more powerful than you advertising yourself! Just
like recommending a movie to a friend, when your associates recommend
your products to their customers and subscribers, you'll look that
much more credible... and you'll be 400% more likely to close those
sales!
-
Instantly
Capitalize On Other People's High Search Engine Rankings.
Get all of the exposure of the top ranking web sites -- without all of
the work or expense! All you need to do is go to sites that have

become your associates. Then your banner and text link gets all of
the visibility they do!
Your
affiliate program is quite literally the
ultimate performance-based advertising because you only pay for
results!
You
can sign up hundreds, even thousands, of affiliates
who will promote your product or service to their customers, newsletter
subscribers, opt-in e-mail lists, etc... (you set the rules regarding
how your affiliates are allowed to market your
products), and you only have to pay them
when they make a sale!
As you can see, an
affiliate program is a must. So you need to get yours started right
