How to make yours the best affiliate program.

So you've set up an affiliate program for your product but sales have not rocketed through the roof, below is the start of how you can get the best affiliate program.

Encourage People To Sign Up.

You need to sell your affiliate program. This is the first hurdle many fall at, most people set up an affiliate program and have a links that says “click here to sign up” and then that’s it. You do need to sell your program. Start by having a mini sales letter that explains the benefit of people signing up. Then tell them their commissions and how they can earn a living without ever having to create a product or have a web site just by promoting your products.

The best affiliate program will provide marketing materials.

Provide your affiliate with email promotions, articles, press releases, pay per click ads,banner adverts and whatever else you can create that will enable people to promote your site to the masses with as little work as possible.

It is not enough to just get people to sign up their affiliate program and then leave them to it. If you do it's like they’re saying “thanks for signing up, now go and make me some cash”. A sure way to fail. You do need to make your affiliate feel wanted and loved. After all he is going to make a lot of money for you. But he can only do it if you make the effort to be amongst the best affiliate program suppliers.

Here’s the thing, have an affiliate only newsletter.

It's a real cracker. Have an email list of only your affiliates. Each week send out a mini blueprint on how they can market your products an earn a commission. Inform them of new products you’ve just launched or new marketing materials you’ve just added to your affiliates area.

Another great method you can use with this is have a weekly competition. Each week your affiliate who earns the most gets an extra one hundred dollars or whatever you can afford. Mention the winner in each weeks newsletter and say things like “who thinks they can overtake Joe Bloggs as being my top affiliate? Come on guys I know I’ve got some great marketers signed up as my affiliates prove it and I’ll mention you in next weeks newsletter”.

This is great. Psychologically you are motivating your affiliates to promote your products like crazy to get recognition as being your “top gun”. Often ego trips are just as motivating as money.

Motivate your affiliates and explode your profits, done properly this could earn you more money than you could ever have dreamed of and the best affiliate program available.
