Affiliate Programs: Your Affiliate Web Site Is Built

Your Affiliate Web Site Is Built – Now What?

Written by Vickie J. Scanlon

When I first got my web site built, I thought I finally I had a presence on-line. Wrong! I soon found out that I needed someone to host my site, and I needed a domain name.

This, I found, was my moment of utter confusion. And my first thought was – “What have I gotten myself into!?” I realized I needed repparttar following questions answered before I could even begin my on-line journey. What do I need in a web host, what is a web host, what is a domain name and – you mean, I have to pay for a domain name as well?

What is a Domain?

A domain name is a unique name that identifies an Internet site. Thus, if you want to do any on-line marketing you need a unique name to identify your business – and definitely a name that identifies or relates to that of your on-line presence.

Do I really need a domain name? Yes. Why? There are several good reasons:

1.It projects a professional image 2.It’s mobile – you can change web hosts and your domain name goes with you. 3.It takes time and hard work to build your affiliate business – if you don’t have your own name and you want to move to a different web host – all is lost because repparttar 102205 domain name is not mobile.

There are many sites that offer a domain name service at a reasonable price. You can go to my site at www.myaffiliateplace.biz and look under Affiliate Information – here you can get an idea how much a domain name costs.

What is A Web Host?

A web host is an ISP that offers space in which to store your own personal Web pages. They utilize a web server, which is a computer that is permanently connected to repparttar 102206 Internet and can send out your web pages on request.

ACTIVE AFFILIATES are those who sign up under you for free, then upgrade to being a paid affiliate. Those who sign up but don’t upgrade within repparttar

first 72 hours are called inactive affiliates and who are unlikely to ever upgrade.

These are people you DON’T invest a lot of time on. You can send them out your monthly ezine but that’s as far as invested time should go.

Those who have paid to upgrade from free or just looking stage are repparttar 102204 ones you should have regular contact in.

When I mention contact, I don’t mean contact to sell more things to them, but to offer support, advise, training etc. because these are repparttar 102205 ones that will follow you to repparttar 102206 ends of repparttar 102207 earth if you ask them to, if you treat them right.

Over repparttar 102208 past 12 months I have been testing various options and theories of Affiliates who sign up for free and then become paid upgrade affiliates.

My findings although not scientific by any means has shown me that in order for ACTIVE AFFILIATES to create direct sales, they must have repparttar 102209 right affiliate program to promote.

I’ve explained previously that a great affiliate program is one that is an absolute necessity, a program that will force repparttar 102210 buyer to have to start over again if they left your services i.e. web hosting, autoresponders.

According to repparttar 102211 search engines there are over 2 million Affiliate Programs for web hosting and over 1 Million for autoresponder affiliate programs. What about domain name affiliate programs, can you think of any others…I’m sure you can! Think necessity.

My findings also identified that a great affiliate program MUST be free to join. This gives repparttar 102212 prospective buyer repparttar 102213 opportunity to test-drive repparttar 102214 product before they buy.
