How to choose a Good affiliate program for your site

/ On : 02.48/ Thank you for visiting my small blog here. If you wanted to discuss or have the question around this article, please contact me e-mail at herdiansyah hamzah@yahoo.com.

Affiliate programs are those affiliate resources for webmasters to earn commission
(calculated based on the %)and make money (pay per click) with their websites.

To choose proper affiliate programs to make money with your web site, the first
important step is to find a theme affiliate related to your site content. If
you want to make more money online, it is apparent that you should select high
commission affiliates (in high percentage) or the best affiliate programs -
the higher commission affiliates. This is the second step. The next step is
to put the affiliate link code to your website (where it is as attractive as
possible). Normally you do not need to do anything more but wait for your commission
to be paid to you (normally it is paid fortnightly or monthly) when the earned
commission is over a certain amount of money.


However it is not all yet! As affiliate statistics show that only about 5-10%
statistics are real. As a webmaster, you need to check your traffic stats and
monthly earnings regularly to make sure the link code works well. If an affiliate
program link code never generate any traffic to the affiliated site or it is
much less than it should be, there is no reason for you to keep the banner or
text link code on your site. That's to say that you should find another affiliate
program to replace it.


The affiliate programs directory and guides collected the effective affiliate
marketing programs with high commission and they are well organized in several
categories (casino, adult, gambling & betting, online sale, search engine,
etc.) for webmasters to make more money online.


In basic terms, all you need to do when you join an affiliate program is add
a special link containing your unique affiliate ID to your website or blog.
Whenever someone follows that affiliate link from your website and makes a purchase,
you are credited with a commission for that sale.


Affiliate programs are good for you because you make money from your website
visitors without having to worry about shipping and payment processing. They
are also pretty good for the owner of the affiliate program too as they are
receiving traffic and sales that they wouldn't normally have received if they
hadn't come via your website.


If you already have your own website, it should be easy to find affiliate programs
that complement the theme of your site. For example, if you have a travel website
you can sign up with Commission Junction for free and promote companies such
as Expedia and National Geographic. Or you could sign up with the first ever
online affiliate program, Amazon and make money by reviewing and recommending
travel books. Regardless of your website's niche you should be able to find
some sort of affiliate program to help monetize your traffic.


Most good affiliate programs will provide you with banners, images, links,
sample ads and sometimes even articles and emails to help you promote their
products. They should also have a support system for you to ask questions, plus
statistics and a reporting function to allow you to view your click-throughs
and sales.


Affiliate programs for companies that sell physical products such as books
and CDs, or travel related products such as hotels, flights and car hire tend
to pay a small amount of commission, for example 5%.


If you aren't lucky enough to be getting thousands of visitors to your site
each day and you want to make lots of money from affiliate programs the best
plan of action is to choose an affiliate program that has a combination of the
following



1. A high commission

2. A residual income

3. Multiple Tiers


Affiliate programs offering a high commission are usually selling intangible
goods. Examples of these include e-books, software and membership sites. The
owners of these affiliate programs can afford to give large commissions because
although there is a cost associated with producing the product, the cost generally
stays the same regardless of whether the owner sells 100 copies or 1000 copies.
This is why these affiliate programs can offer a commission of 50% and sometimes
more, meaning that you can sell less of these products and make more money than
you would with a traditional affiliate program offering a 5% commission.


Affiliate programs offering a residual income tend to be those that offer a
service such as web hosting or access to a membership site. For example if you
direct a visitor from your site to a web hosting company that offers an affiliate
program with residual income and that person purchases a hosting package, you
would receive a commission every single month, for as long as that person stays
with that hosting company. The power of this is that you can build up a more
reliable income, which means a steady pay packet during the months when new
sales are slow.


Finally, a multi tier affiliate program is one that rewards you for recruiting
your own affiliates. As well as receiving a commission for sales that are made
through your affiliate link, you will also receive a percentage of the sales
made from the affiliates that you've recruited yourself.


So it pays to promote affiliate programs, but it pays even more to be choosy
when deciding on which affiliate programs to promote. Choosing programs that
pay high commissions and offer multi tier or residual income can make a huge
difference to your bank balance at the end of each month.



This is by no means an exhaustive list of considerations, but bearing these
in mind, should enable you to choose a program with a saleable product, and
reasonable income potential. To end on a note of warning, there are still a
few programs out there that are the internet equivalent of the chain letter,
no product, deposit $10 in xyz acct to join, and soon you will have hundreds
of people giving you $10 each. Yeah right!!! , the majority of people have heard
it all before { like those e mails telling you that have just won the Peruvian
$10 million dollar lottery which you didnt even enter } and will give programs
like this a wide berth, and so should you.





what is Afffiliate Marketing??

Simply put, affiliate marketing is all the ads you see while you are surfing
the internet. All the banners, text links to products or services in emails,
advertisment pop-ups, etc. People join a company that sells a product or service
online such as Target stores, or Amazon.com to advertise for them. This is called
becoming an affiliate for that retailer. Its completely free and takes about
2 minutes to join via the retailers website. Most of the retailers you see online
that sell something be it a product or service, offers an affiliate program
that again is completely free to join, and equally as easy. More on that in
later posts. When you join these affiliate programs they give you a series of
banner ads, and various other ads to promote the retailer with. You simply distribute
the ad in a variety of ways (more on that later as well) and everytime someone
clicks on your ad, visits the retailer and buys something or signs up for a
service, you get a commision on that sale. It could be a straight $100.00 for
every sale, or just a percentage of the sale price such as 50% commision.


I know this was a lot of information all at once. but if you come back often
and read it step by step, you will slowly begin to understand exactly how all
this works, and hopefully get the urge to get out there and try it!


Come back often! This blog will be updated very frequently with the newest
information and techniques.
