Compensation (“Show me the money!”) is the number one thing affiliates are looking for. I (author Paul) like to offer 60% with my affiliate program because I want my affiliates to see that I am serious about their financial success. But in addition, I offer a second tier that provides another way to make money and has the potential for passive income. Additionally, there are times when I run a special promotion where I offer free access to one of my paid courses as an added incentive to become an affiliate. What do other people do to sweeten the pot?
Consider becoming an affiliate for a large, established merchant and see how attractive they make their incentives. A good place to rub elbows with affiliate marketing heavyweights is JV Notify Pro.
Providing affiliate tools
Affiliates may not sell or refer your offers only. They need tools that help explain the product’s benefits and get interested prospects to click on that link. What equipment is needed?
The tools we describe in the following sections are all found on an “Affiliate Tools Page” that you make available on your site to take full advantage of Affiliate. Now you don’t have to put all the items on your affiliate tools page here, but it goes without saying that the more tools and guidance you give your affiliates, the more successful they will be ( And the happier you will be!).
Product images
Affiliates love images that they can use – this is probably a spin-off from the old adage “a picture is worth a thousand words” – to get their audience (prospects) excited and click the image. . Of course, the image has an affiliate link.
You should have multiple images of your product or offer available so that your affiliates have choices. Most of my (author Paul’s) courses have pictures.
