Part 1: Baby Steps

In our last post, we have covered basics of running successful affiliate program. Now it is time to step up your game and learn where to find best affiliates. We are going to be very specific about places on the Internet, that are designed to help merchants find their promoters. Trust us – there are thousands of people out there willing to join affiliate campaigns. You may ask why? Well, that is the way how to make money for living.

1. Having a killer product never hurts

This one is pretty obvious, we get it, but it is so important to remind you this every single time you read about affiliate marketing. You can have the best affiliates in the world and be a marketing mage, but if the product, which you are selling sucks, you are never going to succeed. We strongly encourage you to invest in development, customer experience and support. “Good enough” attitude is not something you should aim for. Follow what your competitors do and make sure that you will improve areas where you see their weaknesses. Bottom line is simple: just do your absolute best.

2. Be Generous And Motivate People

Once you have got your product development covered, it is time to think about promotion. Strong affiliate network is one of the most effective ways to achieve growth in revenue. Before you start “hiring” people for promotion, think twice about how much money you want to share. You need to stay competitive and be generous. Getting your commission close to 30% mark is the sweet spot. It all will pay off eventually.
