Affiliate Sales Program How To Eliminate High Risk Programs

Writen by Tope Ola

To make the most of your affiliate sales program or to start a profitable affiliate program (or affiliate business) you must select good and credible affiliate merchants.

A good affiliate merchant must provide the following:

(1) High quality, high-in-demand product(s) or services. Don't recommend products that underdeliver.

(2) Good site that sells effectively (you are not to sell directly from your merchant site, you are to build your own).

(3) Ability for affiliates to link straight to individual products, rather than just to homepage. A big boost to your affiliate sales program.

(4) Affiliate support, this should include; Accurate online accounting, traffic and linking stats, e-mail notification of sale, marketing assistance, educative newsletters, and other affiliate sales program traffic-building and sales-getting tools.

(5) Good affiliate commission at least between 10% to 20% (depending on products)

(6) Free to join, No good affiliate sales program should require sign on fee.

(7) Lifetime commission on future sales of other products to customers that you refer.

(8) Two-tier commission and restriction on number of affiliates, this is important because too much affiliates will make the program to crash.

(9) Monthly commission payment with reasonable minimum. Note: All the points above must not be present but the more they are present, the more your chance of making fast and big profit in your affiliate sales program.

Finally to avoid frustration and disappointment, that a lot of people are facing online today. You must plan your affiliate sales program well ahead before you start.

Preferably go into products/services you are familiar with, probably in the area of your hobby, work experience etc.

Build your own professional site and host it, make it a theme based content site to attract targeted customers through search engine (Free advertisement) and Presell your product.

Introduce other models (apart from affiliate sales program) into your site e.g. Google Adsense, referrer/Finder arrangement, other services etc, to make multiple streams of income.
