Okay, so you have been looking at affiliate programs for a while
now. Your inbox is filling up with all these advertisements and you
just don’t know how to pick the right program.
How do you know which program is going to bring the best profit?
Well, I personally believe that a lot of the income is created from
the effort an affiliate marketer puts into a program. But I do have
a few pointers as to picking the best one.
1. Commission. You need a program that will pay you a good
commission rate. It should pay you at least 20% of each sale. A good
rate is 50% and anything above that is ideal. You should also look
for how often they pay. Some programs pay you twice a month and some
only once a month. Most programs also only pay you when you have
earned a base amount.
2. Attraction. Is the website attractive? Or will your customers
leave your site without even reading. The site needs to easy to
read, but not boring. Also you don’t want to pick a site that is
full of garbage, advertising an array of different subjects. Your
site needs to filled with common ground. Also make sure the sight
doesn’t seem to be screaming for attention (lots of large, bold
lettering).
3. Support. What is the support for your program like? Do they have
a good list of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ), a contact email
address with a quick response (24 - 72 hours is good)? Any more than
3 days for a response is too long. Some programs even offer live
chat. Now that is good!
4. Your Statistics. The program should offer an automated and
immediate reaction to your statistics. They should automatically
contact you when you receive a client, prospect, lead, customer or
when you make a sale, it should also be ready to view in your
downline as soon as you have the knowledge of the sale etc.
5. Incentives. Does the program offer free gifts, tools and
advertising content (banners, pop-ups, email letters, articles etc.)
It is important to have marketing tools to keep track of business
and change things that may not work for you. Advertising is also
important your traffic won’t come from no where, And gifts are a
good bonus for your customers as well as learning from the gifts
yourself. Usually the gifts are products to help you with your
business.
6. Monthly Reports. Every good program will have news and training
updates sent to your inbox so you can learn what works best for the
program and what the top affiliates of the program are doing. You
should also be able to read this on their website.
7. Reviews. Sometimes you will find that the program you are looking
at has reviews in the search engines. All you have to do is enter
the name of the program in the search engine form followed by
“reviews”. For example if you want to read about Strong Future
International (SFI) you would type “Strong Future International
Reviews” and click ‘search’. Select any item that describes what you
are looking for, and read what people think.
It is important to do your homework before you dive into anything.
Learn as much as you and make sure you feel comfortable with your
decision before going ahead. Remember that you will not make money
overnight……..Some of the best affiliates spent 3 years or more
promoting before they got where they are today.
