6 THINGS YOU MUST KNOW BEFORE YOU CHOSE AN AFFILIATE PROGRAM.

Written by Oluwafisayo Akinlolu


So you want to choose an affiliate program or are you already involved in one?

These are six tips you must understand deeply. But first, understand that affiliate programs work just like network marketing. I said it works like it because it involves down-lines.

Now to get started. Once you understand these tips and use them wisely, you would make a real success out ofrepparttar affiliate program you choose.

1.Chooserepparttar 102452 Right Affiliate Program.

Before you pick an Affiliate program, make double sure it isrepparttar 102453 right one. Checkrepparttar 102454 company's profile. You cannot be in a moving vehicle and remain stagnant. If your affiliate program is one that makes steady progress, you also make progress. If it is stagnant, you inevitably will be stagnant. Check forrepparttar 102455 company's age. Companies in their first two years pay high, but they facerepparttar 102456 risk of quitting all too soon. They are but infants. Companies in their first seven years are more likely to be stable. Older companies are reliable. Very reliable. They have a track record which you can easily check out and have good organisation built from years of existence.

2.What arerepparttar 102457 Companies' Products.

Please be very careful. Only a thin line separates Multi-level Marketing (MLM) or affiliate programs from illegality. You are however safe ifrepparttar 102458 company has a product it sells. Never join a pyramid scheme. I am not an expert at that but I suppose pyramid schemes are scams. Ifrepparttar 102459 company does not offer a product or service, you might as well forget it.

3.Checkrepparttar 102460 Compensation Plan.

Your primary reason for joining an affiliate program is to make money! Should I say that again? To make money! So please, checkrepparttar 102461 compensation plan. Make sure it suits you. When doserepparttar 102462 company pay? At what rate? How doesrepparttar 102463 company pay? If it doesn't go down well with you, just forget it and find yourself another affiliate program with which you feel comfortable.

Note however that even ifrepparttar 102464 commission schedule is small but sure,repparttar 102465 work you do can help you blow it all up. Think of $1 in 1000 places ($1000). It can be achieved weekly. You can realise that with almost all affiliate programs.

The bottom line, choose a program that suits you.

4.Join Free Programs But.... A lot of affiliate programs allow you to join for free. I suggest you joinrepparttar 102466 free ones. My reason is; you can easily leave without much loss. I feel sorry for people who have tried several programs and paid heavily just to realise it is notrepparttar 102467 right one. But if you think you can afford it, thenrepparttar 102468 choice is yours.

How The Affiliate Masters Make Massive Sales

Written by Joe Bingham


Everyone involved in Internet marketing knowsrepparttar names ofrepparttar 102451 affiliate program masters. Marlon Sanders. Mark Joyner. Jimmy D. Brown. Terry Dean.

Everyone knows them because at one point or another 95% of us signed up as an affiliate with at least one of them. We also know them because these arerepparttar 102452 guys who have pulled inrepparttar 102453 BIG money we all dream about. They've actually done it, and so we pay attention to what they do.

Well, after having paid attention to these guys for over two years, I'm ready to spillrepparttar 102454 beans on their neat little secrets --- without asking for $49.95 per item or $1000 forrepparttar 102455 whole shebang.

Oh, what do I know, you say, I'm not one of them. Maybe so, and you can discount everything I say if atrepparttar 102456 end of reading this you're not sitting there at your computer nodding in agreement.

Time and again, these guys release hot, new products touting exciting, cutting edge information that's going to revolutionize Internet marketing. And so it does, for a month or so, untilrepparttar 102457 next hot, new product comes along.

However, I just want you to keep one thing in mind as we go along. The main goal of each new product these affiliate masters produce is NOT to providerepparttar 102458 best information possible forrepparttar 102459 consumer of that product --- except whenrepparttar 102460 information provided torepparttar 102461 consumer does in fact assist withrepparttar 102462 main goal.

Don't be so naive people. The sales copy for each and every marketing information product IS written all about you,repparttar 102463 consumer. They emphasize what you'll gain, how you'll benefit, and what they'll do for you.

But,repparttar 102464 main goal of that product, in truth, has nothing to do with you. You are simply a means to an end. The main goal of each and every product introduced by any marketer in any affiliate program is simply to produce profits,repparttar 102465 highest profits possible, and nothing more.

Think about whererepparttar 102466 vast majority of their sales come from. Is it fromrepparttar 102467 sales their affiliates make to others, or fromrepparttar 102468 affiliates themselves?

It'srepparttar 102469 affiliates. If you're running an affiliate program,repparttar 102470 money is NOT in what your affiliates accomplish, but in what your affiliates purchase themselves.

This is only natural, for what are affiliates but repeat customers?

These masters approach you from a slant that appears to be in your favor. They are going to give yourepparttar 102471 best information possible. They are going to give yourepparttar 102472 chance to make commissions off of their work. They are going to give you sales tools, incentives, discounts, their wisdom and experience, and whatever else you need so that YOU can make BIG money working online.

But wait, hold on, what are you giving them in return? Your time, and your contacts.

Anyone who's ever operated a traditional business knowsrepparttar 102473 answer to this question. What are two ofrepparttar 102474 biggest expenses involved with running a business?

1. Labor 2. Advertising

As an affiliate what are you providing torepparttar 102475 affiliate program owner again? Your time (labor) and your contacts (advertising).

In other words, when you join an affiliate program, you are essentially signing up forrepparttar 102476 privilege of taking two ofrepparttar 102477 biggest expenses involved in running a business onto your back and off of theirs!
