subject: Massive Sales through an Affiliate Program by:John Harriyott [print this page]

Having hundreds of commission only salesmen can

boost your sales immensely. An affiliate program

is a fantastic solution for all businesses with a

web site.

If you haven't got your own affiliate program set

up already this is going to blow your mind. And

if you have an affiliate program I can guarantee

that this will be a real eye opener. The majority

of affiliate program owners have it set up in a

way that is completely wrong.

Encourage People To Sign Up

Here's where most people go wrong. They set up an

affiliate program and have a links that says "

click here to sign up" and then that's it. You

need to sell your affiliate program. Have a mini

sales letter that explains the benefit of people

signing up. Tell them their commissions and how

they can earn a living without ever having to

create a product or have a web site just by

promoting your products.

Provide Affiliates With Marketing Materials

Here's another big one. Site owners get people to

sign up their affiliate program and then just

leave them to it. It's like they're saying "

thanks for signing up, now go and make me some

cash". That's ridiculous. You need to do all the

hard work for your affiliates if you want to

start earning the big bucks.

Here's the thing. You could write an article and

submit it to article directories all over the

Internet and do very well for yourself. However

if you just had one hundred affiliates blasting

that article all over the net you've just

multiplied your marketing power by one hundred.

This is the key to making massive mounts online.

If you can't write articles etc yourself hire

someone to do so from www.elance.com but do

provide your affiliates with marketing materials

or your just setting yourself up for having a

very mediocre Internet business

Another great method you can use with this is

have a weekly competition. Each week your

affiliate who earns the most gets an extra one

hundred dollars or whatever you can afford.

Mention the winner in a weekly newsletter and say

things like "who thinks they can overtake Joe

Bloggs as being my top affiliate? Come on guys I

know I've got some great marketers signed up as

my affiliates prove it and I'll mention you in

next weeks newsletter".

This is great. Psychologically you are motivating

your affiliates to promote your products like

crazy to get recognition as being your "top gun".

Often ego trips are just as motivating as money.

Motivate Your Affiliates And Explode Your Profits

I've been taking about what you need to do in

order to earn a serious living online through

having your own affiliate program. Done properly

this could earn you more money than you could

ever have dreamed of. The methods in this article

outline what you need to do to in order to

overcome the three barriers of starting an

affiliate program.

You need to:

Persuade people to sign up

Make it easy for them to market

Motivate them to market fast and market hard.

Do this and you'll be able to create a hugely

successful affiliate program and you'll sell a

truckload of your products without any real hard

work or any costs.
