Bring In An Established Partner.
Let me ask you this –
If you could get a powerful “guru” to become your partner for the next 6 months in exchange for you giving them 50% of every penny earned through your affiliate program, would you do it?
I hear people all the time whining about the fact that they can’t get “super affiliates” or “gurus” to promote their offers. And when you see that all they are offering these world-class partners is a standard 50% commission, it’s not a big surprise that they don’t get any takers.
Let me tell you what would work on ME.
If someone contacted me and said, “Here’s my product, I’d like you to promote it and I’ll give you 50% commission”- I’d probably politely decline the offer simply because there are many better options.
If someone contacted me and said, “Here’s my product, I’d like you to promote it and I’ll give you 100% commission” – I’d at least take a look and see if the offer was something I would be able to endorse. But...
If someone contacted me and said, “Here’s my product, I’d like you to become my PARTNER in this project and I’ll give you 50% of everything this site makes for the next 6 months”. If that offer is something I feel comfortable endorsing, you’ve probably got yourself a partner.
Now, let’s look at things from YOUR point of view.
You’ve got your product and your affiliate program and it’s doing okay, but not spectacular. Wouldn’t it be to your benefit to go to some “super” partner who already has their own established business, who already has their own huge list, who already has their own AFFILIATE team and JV network and say to them,
“I’ll give you half my business if you’ll be committed to helping me build it?”
