What do you need to recruit affiliates?

One of the best strategies is to open a vendor’s account at Clickbank or some other affiliate program management site. You can, of course, operate your own affiliate program and that may be a desirable solution for experienced marketers, but Clickbank and other like sites work well for most marketers. You’ll pay a nominal fee, and in return, you will be able to list your product, along with a sales page and a “thank you page.” After approval, your product will be available for any of the thousands of Clickbank members to promote.

There are a few tricks to making it work.

 

You need to have a great sales page, a solid product and offer a healthy commission.

 

It might make you wince to offer half or more of every sale to your affiliates, but it is that income opportunity that motivates them to promote your product.

In most cases, the net financial gain after consideration of registration and commission payments outstrips what you might have been able to make selling your product without affiliate assistance.
The management of affiliate payments will depend upon the system you use.

Some will automatically tend to pay those who log sales for you.

 

Others will require you to personally administer affiliate payouts.

 

Make sure you understand how this is handled--it is essential to pay your affiliates on time and accurately on a consistent basis.
