Should You Start Your Own Affiliate Program?

Copyright 2003 By Willie Crawford

If you operate an internet-based business and market your own product(s), you eventually ask yourself, "Should I Start My Own Affiliate Program?"  Even if you don't have your own product, I think you should have your own affiliate program.   You can start an affiliate program marketing products you have reprint rights to.

Affiliates programs are a proven way to grow an internet-based business almost risk-free.  They are the reason behind the biggest on-line successes!

Here are reasons you should start your own affiliate program:

1)  Since you only pay for performance, you have no advertising investment.  Your job becomes to recruit affiliates who will do the advertising for you.  If you have a two-tier affiliate program, your affiliates will even do most of the recruiting for you.  You don't have to worry about which ezines or venues to advertise in.

2)  You don't have to spend so much time worrying about searchengine rankings.  Your properly trained affiliates will do things to get your site higher rankings.  Your army of affiliates will place thousands of links to your site and build your site's link
popularity and link relevance.

3)  You don't have to worry about pay-per-click searchengines.  Your affiliates will set up campaigns to market your product.

4)  You multiply yourself.  You can only personally reach a small portion of your market.  Your army of affiliates extends that reach hundreds of times over.

5)  You don't need to worry about building a huge list.  Building a huge list takes time - recruiting affiliates who already have lists takes much less time. Your affiliates with ezines already reach hundreds of thousands of prospects.  These qualified prospects 
will buy your products based upon the lists owners' sincere recommendations.

6) An affiliate program allows you to make more money. Your percentage from each sale may be lower, but your total revenues will be hundreds, if not thousands, of
times as much.  You get a smaller piece of the pie but the pie grows so huge that your share of the pie still adds up to so much more.

7)  Setting up an affiliate program is much easier than you think.  You can use a program like my ProfitAutomation.Com to:

• Manage all affiliate activity
• Track all sales
• Automatically communicate with your affiliates
• Automatically communicate with affiliates prospects (as your autoresponders do the conversion)
• Automatically train your affiliates
• Automatically track which promotional tools are working best

A properly set up affiliate program increases your sales many-fold and requires only a tiny fraction of the work.  You do need good organization and the proper automation tools.  You do need to put in some work getting the affiliate program launched. Then the affiliate program takes on a life of its own, and your business steadily grows from the efforts of others. You reward them for their hard work, and your affiliate reward you a larger bank account.

If you don't have your own affiliate program start planning one today.  Make sure you have a quality product, plan everything out, get an affiliate management system like my recommended http://ProfitAutomation.Com and watch your business grow itself!
