Affiliate programs
Have you ever tried to earn some money on affiliatte programs
Did you ever wondered, why the super affiliates are raking it in ? ...and, what is never-ending story for you - you are just still struggling with affiliate programs?
Firstly, for sure, this is always an advantage to have a web site, of your own. Mean, you have to be owner of the domain name. Do not take the subdomains and do not support any business on subdomains unless, this subdomain is based on your own first level domain.
Sometimes, I can see people who start some kind of online business, use subdomains at web or weebly. In the first stage when, you do collect content and make up the skeleton of site, this is okey. But, in longer term, there coming the point, you have to switch to your own domain. Why?
You can become sure that, you are owner of the business. Would you like to build a factory, on land owned by others ?
There are other reasons, as well. You may drive future traffic to your domain, not to web or weebly. The second mine reason is : link exchange. You need to improve your page rank. It will not happen overnight but, in the longer-term it is necessary to do do. If you will link to subdomains, all the power from links, will be taken by web or weebly. Mean, first-level domain. Not your subdomain. There are many other reasons why, it is wise to have your own domain.
Let's back to the topic. If you will choose a good program, related to
the theme of your web site - this is the first step to success. If you start a web site from scratch, that's better, you are more flexible in choosing program which, you feel is the best for you.
Some say that, it is also important to have a large e-mail list of persons, to which you can recommend your program.
However, in my opinion, this is not important, at the beginning.
I think, the main reason super affiliates succeed so well is that, they choose to promote programs
that have residual or lifetime commissions and not commissions for single purchases only.
What happens in the most affiliate programs is that the company which owns and promote the product or service, pays the affiliate for a single sale only. Sometimes, these programs are 2-tier, making them some kind of multi-marketing programs. But, the basic principle remains the same - one
sale, one commission. Unless, you are so good in promoting web sites so well, with the very best knowledge about SEO optimization, you will not make much money, from such one sale - one comission business.
Therefore, usually, so called super affiliates, choose to promote programs with residual or lifetime commissions. That is, they make a sale of a product or service, which requires constant renewal - such as health products, domain names, cellular phones and many other similar.
This is the way, the smart affiliate does the work once and gets paid over and over again in the future, on the basis of that one sale or on the basis of one time customer registration..
The best affiliate programs are that offer lifetime commissions. These programs allow you to keep the customer almost for life after, you make one sale to that person.
Let's say, for example, you may sell an ebook in the first instance and the customer comes back in perhaps a year or two and buys something else from the same company. As the customer is “yours”, you will get always the commisssion, when this customer will buy something again..
As you van figure out, working this way, the residual and lifetime commissions mount up and continue to grow for the same amount of work. Job done once, pay for itself multiple times. Definitely, a very smart way of working.
We do know that the most hard work is to get a customer willing to pay for a product or service.
Many of these so called : super affiliates know that, to struggle to make one commisssion for one sale is hard work. So, by promoting programs with residual or lifetime commissions, is much much smarter way of working.
