6 THINGS YOU MUST KNOW BEFORE YOU CHOSE AN
AFFILIATE PROGRAM
|

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
scheme. I am not an expert at that but I suppose pyramid schemes 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 realise 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.
