Get Information First Before Sending Them to the Affiliate

Written by Catherine Franz

Honestly, I’m not a big affiliate fan because in repparttar

past I haven’t gotten 90% of repparttar 102415

money promised either because they disappear before they pay out or they have so many exceptions -- paying out once a quarter, has to be over X dollars first, etc. Another negative side is that some of them think that 10% commission or some low amount is worth repparttar 102416

20 hours it takes for us to sell it. Usually repparttar 102417

10% equal $10 and $10 isn’t worth my reputation even $1000 actually.

Today’s article is not about repparttar 102418 pros and cons of being an affiliate member. There are some good affiliate programs out there where you will get a check, their exceptions are small or nil, and repparttar 102419 commission reasonable for repparttar 102420 amount of time, risk, and reputation you place on repparttar 102421 line for their product or program.

This article focuses on collecting their information before you give them repparttar 102422 affiliate link so you can increase your mailing list numbers or residual income.

Almost all affiliate referrals are handled by providing someone with repparttar 102423 affiliate link. The reader then goes from your place to their place. If this is what you have been doing, take repparttar 102424 "L" (for loser) off your forehead, and read this to "get SMART quick."

Stop LOOSING a valuable marketing opportunity -- and stop it now!

Instead, set up a bridge page (also called a portal page or doorway page). Use repparttar 102425 terms bridge and portal instead since repparttar 102426 word doorway has a separate search engine meaning that can be confusing.

A bridge page works simply like this. You set up a bridge page on your web site. You send them to this page instead of to repparttar 102427 affiliate site, collect their information, and THEN send them to repparttar 102428 affiliate site.

The objective is to offer them something for f/r/e/e that they must register for on that bridge page so you collect their information. In fact, you can offer several things.

You set up two pages actually. One that is repparttar 102429 bridge page and repparttar 102430 other a thank you page. After you collect their information THEN you send them to repparttar 102431 thank you page. On repparttar 102432 thank you page, you thank them for whatever it is they did and then give them an option to NOW access repparttar 102433 affiliate site.
