Affiliate Program. Should You Set One Up?

The best way to propel your business, is to use an affiliate program. With an affiliate program you have a lot of other people promoting and selling your product. One of the big advantages of this is that you only pay for the promotion after a sale has been made.

It also means that your product now has many people promoting it. This creates a viral effect and helps make your product to be seen as being very popular. So even though you may need to share 50% of the income with your affiliates you still end up making a lot of money.

If you did all the promotion your self, even with a big list of e-mail subscribers. And let's say your list was 100, 000, and you had a conversion rate of 0.04%. This would mean that you would sell four hundred copies and keep 100% of the income.

Now we will carry us a little bit further. You decided you also wanted to use affiliates to promote this product. With 100 affiliates selling 10 products each, you have just sold a further 1000 copies of your product. Even though you now share 50% of the profit with your affiliates. You still end up making far more money with far less effort.

If you own a product and you want to successfully market that product. You really need to use affiliates. So now the question arises; how do we set up an affiliate program? Well, there are 2 that I have personally used. I use a program called Jam Affiliates from jrox.com. This program is easy to use and is very powerful. Giving you plenty of administration options.

Another way you could go, is to use ClickBank. Many affiliates prefer ClickBank, as they are assured, they will be paid. Another advantage of ClickBank, is that you don't need to go through the difficulties of installing a script on your server. Affiliates can join ClickBank for free. To be a seller on ClickBank requires a small one time fee.

As I mentioned earlier affiliates love ClickBank, because they are assured of payments. But for you as the seller it also has a great advantage. ClickBank recruits the affiliates. ClickBank pays the affiliates. So the money you get from ClickBank is yours. Your affiliates have already been paid. All the administration headaches are handled by ClickBank, and not you.

From this it is easy to see that to be successful in marketing your products on the Internet, you must use affiliates. The two affiliate programs that I have mentioned are both very good. But I must say that ClickBank is the easiest, as all the administration is handled by them. The small commission that you pay is well worth the less hassles.
