OK, now down to nitty gritty – where and how do you get ACTIVE AFFILIATES?

There are essentially two ways, they are:

1. Promote, promote, promote – anywhere, everywhere that affiliates hang out looking for a bargain.

2. Get a professional to do it for you

Options one is most commonly used way to find and ascertain ACTIVE AFFILIATES but my findings have shown me that this is not cost effective and is all time consuming. If you are new to Internet, which most people are, trying to find a niche market, can be very difficult. Then you have to factor cost of promotions, set-up costs and time involved.

In testing this method over a period of 6 months a total of 17 people sign up as affiliate’s and two out of 17 people then upgraded to paid members.

Option two and not most common or conventional way was to hire someone who could guarantee upgrades. This you might think is more expensive option, when in actual fact for purpose of my testing actually worked out to be a lot cheaper. The provider handled all work and affiliate had to qualified twice before actually joining program all I had to do was wait.

I brought a package that guaranteed 100 signup in 60 days. I got 174 sign ups in less than 60 days. 81 of these signups upgraded to paid affiliates that equates to just over 40% conversion rate.

I try to stay neutral in all my endeavours but I believe that for those who want to Generate More Income in ANY affiliate program, option two is definitely way to go. I was so impressed by this type of service I decided to buy one for myself.

If program being promoted is a necessity i.e. web hosting, auto responders etc, it is likely Active Affiliate will maintain their subscription. However if program is not a necessity item such as an ebook or similar then it is unlikely affiliate will maintain their subscription, so choose affiliate programs wisely.

Dedicated Active Affiliate On-Sellers are a picky group that require a lot of maintenance, online support and regular contact. The product/service has to be lucrative for them to on-sell, with at least a 4+ tier system for it to be worthwhile.

Unless you have time and money to invest in On-Seller’s then my suggestion today is for you to go for width not depth, and then duplicate it many times over providing Multiple Streams of Income.
