receive.

The great thing about free to join affiliate programs is that you

can really give sponsor a test drive before you decide to join

his or her downline. Most affiliate webpages have contact details

for webpage owner, who would be your sponsor after you

join program. So after you decide you want to join a

particular program, especially if it is not free to join, I suggest

you test your potential sponsor to ensure you will get a good

service if you join their downline. Ask them all questions

you have and seek all help you need and if you receive good

and valuable service then you can go ahead and signup.

If you are unhappy with answers or help given, or you

don't receive a reply then try another affiliate's page. The best

way to do this is by entering main URL of company and

in most cases you'll be randomly sent to website of an affiliate.

Ask same questions and also note how quickly sponsor

responds each time because you don't want to signup under

someone who takes one or two weeks to respond to your emails.

Keep trying different affiliate pages until you find a potential

sponsor you know will give you support you need.

If it is a free program with an upgrade option I suggest you

signup for free initially and continuing testing your sponsor to

ensure you have indeed chosen right one. Some sponsors

will respond to emails in an attempt to encourage their downline

to upgrade and after they upgrade help dissipates, but only

the genuinely helpful sponsors will be able to pass rigorous

tests that involve offering lots of help and answering lots of

questions.

Your initial email may receive a good or average response but

after that sponsor may become impatient and not bother

replying or may send an inadequate reply. That would

obviously be your cue to find another sponsor because you need

a sponsor who will be willing and patient enough to properly

answer your questions and genuinely help you. That is what

Multi-level marketing is about, achieving success by helping

those below you to succeed.

Summary:

1) Before joining affiliate programs send an email to owner of

the webpage or ad you saw. Ask all questions you have

and seek to establish what help you'd receive after joining. Make

a note of quality of responses and times it takes to

receive a response.

2) If unhappy with potential sponsor go to company's

main URL and you will be randomly assigned to another

sponsor's webpage. Ask same questions and decide if

you want to signup under this person. Keep repeating this step

until you find a sponsor you are happy with.

3) Signup. If program has a free option choose that option

first and continue seeking help from your sponsor. If you are

happy with service you receive from your sponsor then

upgrade otherwise ask company to reassign you to another

sponsor.

Tip #4 - Add your own personal touch.

Quick story...

I used to work for a popular shoe company. This company had shoes that targeted several different types of customers.

The department that I specialized in was basketball. (Primariliy because I played in college) After about 1 month on sales floor, I vaulted to top in sales.

When asked by my fellow associates, how I managed to accomplish this feat, I answered "I tell my customers about my personal experiences with shoes."

You have to realize that most people want to know exactly how they will benefit from something.

What better way to highlight benefits of a particular product or service than by telling your own pesonal experiences with that product.

If you are not a customer of products you are selling then you are losing tons of sales.

So before you go and join that next affiliate program, try buying it first and then joining affiliate program.

You never know, not only could you increase your sales, but you could also be saving your reputation too.

What if you promoted a product or service that happened to be a scam. You would tarnish your reputation forever and making money on internet would be a pretty tough endeavor.

Tip #5 - Presell, Presell, Presell!

pre·sell Pronunciation: (")prE-'sel Inflected Form(s): pre·sold /-'sOld/; -sell·ing

1 : to precondition (as a customer) for subsequent purchase or create advance demand for (as a product) especially through marketing strategies 2 : to sell in advance book by preselling film rights>

This is definition taken from Merriam-Webster's Dictionary.

In essence, you are getting your customer ready to eventually buy something, without mentioning price.

You want to basically pump your propect up so much that when they reach your affiliate product, they don't even need to read sales letter. They simply look for "Buy Now" link and purchase it right away.

This, and Personal Endorsement technique, used together can make a powerful force that short of "threatening your customer at gun point" can make world of difference between no sales and massive sales.
