A Successful Affiliate Program
By Hamoon Arbabi
Two Christmases ago I tugged on one of those paper crackers and after a small
bang, out opped a piece of yellow paper the size of a credit card.
On one side was a riddle that didn't make much sense, but on the other side was
an 'Inspirational Quote' that made a lot of sense.
So much so, that I still have it in my wallet.
This is what it said: "The shortest and best way to make your fortune is to let
people see clearly that it is in their interests to promote yours".
I'm constantly amazed to see affiliate programs that offer 20%, or even as
little as 15%, to their affiliates.
It is generally accepted that the production of any information product is only
10 percent of the whole process.
What's the other 90 per cent? Marketing!
My own affiliate program gives 50% commissions, and I wouldn't dream of offering
less. After all, who makes the sale - me or the affiliate?
It may be disappointing to see 50% of your sale price going to your affiliates.
But it's worth remembering this: without your affiliate, that sale simply
wouldn't have occurred.
Of course, there are many other factors involved in building a successful
affiliate program, but this is the first and most important: make your
affiliates your equal partners, because they'll be doing 90% of the work.
Good luck.
