Keeping Affiliates Motivated

Running affiliates programs is easier than ever with the software and help available now.  However, keeping your affiliates motivated and selling isn't quite as easy to do.  

If the success of your business rests upon how your affiliates perform, you make want to provide them with the right tools to get the job done successfully.

If you are already running an affiliate program for your products, you should know that a large number of people who sign up for your program never to be heard from again.  You can however, reduce the number of non productive affiliates by remaining in touch with them constantly.

Remind them of their usernames and passwords, and tell them where to log in to check their stats or get creative.  Always keep them informed of new product lines or changes in policy or procedures.

The key to motivation is making sure that you stay in touch.  

Always pay attention to who your top sellers are, and make sure that you contact them on a regular basis.  Pay attention to who your worst producers are, and make sure you stay in touch with them constantly as well.

The main reason most affiliates don't perform that well is because they don't possess any leadership or guidance.  This can easily be changed by writing a marketing course, which you can even offer for sale to non affiliates, although you should make it available to your affiliates at no charge.

Keep your creatives and sales copy up to date.  

You should also provide new material for your affiliates to use on a regular basis.  Providing them with nothing but a text link and one banner just  doesn't generate much excitement at all.

Provide your affiliates with sales letters, reviews,ads, banners of different shapes and sizes, and anything else that comes to mind.  

Be sure that your affiliates know the material is there for them to

use.  Always listen to your affiliates, and get the proper feedback on your material.

You should also hold virtual meetings.  

Set up chat rooms where your affiliates can attend virtual meetings on a weekly basis.  Be sure to answer any questions, have motivated speakers, and aything else you can think of to make the meetings more motivated.

Given your affiliates the credit they deserve is also very important.  

Each month, you should give credit to the best performers in your affiliate newsletter.  Give small bonuses to those that perform well, and you can even set up a payment structure that rewards higher commissions and bigger volumes of sales.

Always make sure you do everything you can to help your affiliates succeed and make money in your program.  If they are making money - you are succeeding and making money as well.  In reality -their success is your success.

How To Make Money

With affiliate programs, it really pays to work well with others.  Also known as referral programs, 

affiliate programs are normally commission based

sales.  

You'll recommend a site to your visitors and then pick up a percentage of any sale that those visitors make.  You'll benefit from the commission and the merchant benefits from the sales.

If you already have a website set up, you can run an affiliate program from it, or you can simply  build a site to promote a particular product or service.  As long as it brings in more cash than it takes to build or run it, you'll be fine.

With any marketing program, you'll need to be careful when you select an affiliate program.  The benefit of an affiliate program will give you another way to make money from your users.  Instead of selling them a product, you simply send them to a partner then take a cut of the profits.

Even though it may seem tempting to go for programs with the highest commissions, those programs won't pay you anything if your visitors don't buy them.

Below, you'll find some tips to help you select an affiliate program that's right for you:

1.  Do not accept any less than 25% with commission.  You can find many programs with great payment structures and high percentages of pay in just about any field.

2.  Look for statistic pages that list the number of click throughs, sales, and earnings so you'll be able to see how you are doing.  

3.  Always look for programs that offer a wide variety of tools to put on your web site, including banners, text links, and of course graphics.

4.  Find out hwo often you'll be paid and be sure that the payment schedule meets with your own expectations.  Some programs will pay monthly,while others will pay quarterly.

5.  Be sure that top level support is included.  If they can't answer your questions in a quick and timely manner, you don't want to work with them.

Once you learn what you are doing with affiliate programs, you can make a lot of money.  If you are just starting out, you should always use common sense and not rush into anything.  As you become more familiar with how things work, you'll be well on your way to making a lot of money - and enjoying making it.  If you have to work hard, you'll be glad you did.
