Affiliate Bootcamp Training

Now the hard work is done! Time for marketing! This is the fun part! And actually is the part where the rewards are realized, and where your hard work pays off. One of the best ways to find potential Business Partners and Affiliates (if the Affiliate Program is Residual), is to search for websites with the same topic and audience. Once you find a bunch, navigate to their contact page and E-Mail them, letting them know that their market is the same, and that a link, or that them joining the Affiliate Program would benefit both of you. (Explain to them that their market is the same, and an educational product would make their website better, and they make money on it, so it is a win-win relationship!) Everybody likes to win, and when you have a product that is educational, beneficial, and pays a high commission rate, you are geared to win!

Once the understanding of a beneficial relationship is agreed, you can tell them of the high commission rate. Everyone responds well when the commission rate is high. Money talks, however relevant information talks too. So be sure to explain the benefits of linking or signing up under the Affiliate. I was the Affiliate Marketing Director for a friends startup company when I was in college. I spent a few months contacting website owners and built an Affiliate Downline of several hundered Affiliates in only a few months. One of the tactics I used was E-zine Ads. One of my responsibilities as the Affiliate Marketing Director was writing an Internet Marketing E-zine every two weeks. I would contact other E-zine owners, and ask them to swap E-zine Ads. I created an E-zine Ad that Advertised our Affiliate Program, and would run their ad in our E-zine for exchange of running our ad in their E-zine. In most cases they agreed, once they were familiar with our products that were being advertised with the affiliate program. It worked, and the conversion rate was very high because they were warm leads (they were familiar with the E-zine owners E-zine). It worked well. Being creative is one of the tools you should have in your marketing toolbelt. In my previous company of nutritional supplements, I built an Affiliate Base of several thousand Affiliates within a year and a half.

It takes some time, but the rewards are great. (Our sales went from zero to a quarter million in one year.) I started a new conglomerate Corporation since, and am now focusing on building an Affiliate Base for dozens of products with a custom built Afffiliate Program. Ours can market Online and Offline (business cards and fliers) and Affiliates do not need a website to market (multi-beneficial). You can signup here and market a product that compliments your audience. So having a product with lots of rewards is very desirable, and also being creative!
