Ten top reasons to start now.

If you are starting out an online business where you are trying to sell products online then an affiliate program is a must. There are numerous advantages that affiliate programs can offer to an online merchant.10 Benefits That You Get When You Start Your Affiliate Program:
1.
Affiliates Bring You Additional Free SalesAffiliate programs are all about maximizing the advertising potential of your brand. You recruit affiliate marketers who do all the referring and promotion for your products and brand. So you don't have to spend unnecessary money to implement your marketing campaigns. Moreover, you can easily increase your market share with a help of affiliates and it doesn't cost you, since you work on a commission basis - affiliate makes a sale and then you pay out. Affiliates can definitely increase your online profits dramatically.
2.
Pay Only When You Get a CustomerThe other great thing about an affiliate program is that you do not pay money until and unless you actually get a sale. It is only when an affiliate marketer brings a visitor to your product's sales page and gets you a sale. Only them you would end up paying a commission. Thus this is all about maximizing your ROI.

3. Easy Tracking MethodsMost of the affiliate programs have automatic tracking and customized reports sent out. Thus you do not have to invest time or money into tracking software or mechanisms to assess the performance of sales or your affiliate marketers.

4. Massive Traffic Volumes Brought By AffiliatesAffiliate programs allow tonnes of traffic to be diverted to your site to make sales happen more often.
The reason is that affiliate marketers get visitors and guide them to click through to your website to checkout your product. It is in the marketer's best interests to bring as many visitors through its affiliate link to your product's sales page as possible. That means there are tonnes of customers visiting your site by the minute!

5. Affiliate's Brought Traffic Doesn't Cost you A CentThe huge benefits that most affiliate programs offer is that you do not shell out money until the sales happen. That means, until then you get access to huge volumes of absolutely free traffic that will either subscribe to a newsletter, e-zine or even just bookmark your own site. Affiliates bring visitors to your product's sales page... Even though if the visitor does not buy your product, he/she might still signup on your newsletter (if you have one) or your website...

This way you could easily keep contacts with them and promote your products in the future. The best thing is that such affiliate's brought traffic is completely free.

6. You Can Easily Test and Track Your Product's Performance With AffiliatesYou can check out the effectiveness of marketing strategies by letting your affiliate marketers do the work. Since you do not pay until a sale is made this is basically like a testing ground to check your advertisements till they actually get you sales. Moreover, this way you can easily tweak and optimize your product sales pages to get the better conversion rates (sales) for your product. Affiliates can easily bring you a lot of free traffic for your own product's testing purposes!
7. Affiliates Make Your Affiliate Program Viral - Viral Marketing at Its BestAffiliate programs allow you to perform creative methods of viral marketing to attract maximum customers to your site. Recruitment of affiliate marketers happens exponentially as each tries to get commissions. More visitors and sales your affiliates bring - there is a high chance that those visitors will become your own affiliates and bring you even more visitors and sales. Your affiliate program becomes viral!
8. Much More Backlinks to Your Website - Higher Link DensitySearch engines place websites higher which have more incoming links to them.
There is no better way to accomplish this than through affiliate programs. Such programs bring in hundreds of thousands of links to your site getting you the best page rankings online! More affiliates you recruit - more backlinks you will get your website. More backlinks = more visitors and higher search engine ranking for your product's sales page.
9. Easy Affiliate Recruitment OptionsIt is very easy to recruit affiliate marketers using the standard two-tier method. In this method one tier earns profits from the subsequent layer and so on. So every layer wants to recruit more below to earn maximum commissions.
10. Exponential Growth Of Your Affiliate ProgramThe beauty of affiliate programs is that you can grow your affiliate marketers exponentially thus magnifying the potential of your business.

Affiliation

It’s no secret that if you have your own product or service you can explode your profits exponentially by having your own successful affiliate program. The problem lies in the fact that people just don’t have their program set up in the right way resulting in a poor amount of traffic and therefore sales from their affiliates.In this article I am going to outline some tricks and strategies that anyone with their own affiliate program should use in order to take their online business
to the next level.Encourage People To Sign UpHere’s where most people go wrong. They set up an affiliate program and have a links that says, “click here to sign up” and then that’s it. You need to sell your affiliate program. Have a mini sales letter that explains the benefit of people signing up. Tell them their commissions and how they can earn a living without ever having to create a product or have a web site just by promoting your products.Provide Affiliates With Marketing MaterialsHere’s another big one. Site owners get people to sign up their affiliate program and then just leave them to it. It’s like they’re saying “thanks for signing up, now go and make me some cash”. That’s ridiculous. You need to do all the hard work for your affiliates if you want to start earning the big bucks.Provide your affiliate with email promotions, articles, press releases, pay per click ads,banner adverts and whatever else you can create that will enable people to promote your site to the masses with as little work as possible.Here’s the thing. You could write an article and submit it to article directories all over the Internet and do very well for you. However if you just had one hundred affiliates blasting that article all over the net you’ve just multiplied your marketing power by one hundred. This is the key to making massive mounts online.If you can’t write articles etc yourself hire someone to do so from various organisations on web but do provide your affiliates with marketing materials or your just setting yourself up for having a very mediocre Internet businessOr on the other hand you could go out and locate other site owners with large email lists or websites with good traffic {visitors to their site} related to say golf, and you could introduce them to the site and explain they can make money from promoting the other sites, golf clubs to their list/visitors. If this person then promotes that site after signing up through you, you get 10% for example, of whatever they sell.Have An Affiliate Only NewsletterHere’s a real cracker. Have an email list of only your affiliates. Each week send out a mini blueprint on how they can market your products and earn a commission. Inform them of new products you’ve just launched or new marketing materials you’ve just added to your affiliates area.Each week your affiliate who earns the most earns an extra one hundred dollars or whatever you can afford. Mention the winner in each week’s newsletter and say things like “who thinks they can overtake Joe Bloggs as being my top affiliate? Come on guys I know I’ve got some great marketers signed up as my affiliates prove it and I’ll mention you in next weeks newsletter”.This is great. Psychologically you are motivating your affiliates to promote your products like crazy to get recognition as being your “top gun”. Often ego trips are just as motivating as money.Motivate Your Affiliates And Explode Your ProfitsThis week I’ve been taking about what you need to do in order to earn a serious living online through having your own affiliate program. Done properly this could earn you more money than you could ever have dreamed of. The methods in this article, outline what you need to do to in order to overcome the three barriers of starting an affiliate programYou need to:Persuade people to sign upMake it easy for them to marketMotivate them to market fast and market hard.Do this and you’ll be able to create a hugely successful affiliate program and you’ll sell a truckload of your products without any real hard work or any costs.I assure you that if you just put one or two of these simple to implement strategies into place you will see a marked improvement on both your affiliate sign ups, and your affiliates actively marketing your products. Just give it a go!===================================================Al Sowerby is an information publisher specialising in helping people start their own home-based business.

Have a Little Faith

Somewhere in your make-up (perhaps in the cells of your brain) there lies sleeping, the seed of achievement which, if aroused and put into action, would carry you to heights, such as you may never have hoped to attain. Just as a master musician may cause the most beautiful strains of music to pour forth from the strings of a violin, so may you arouse the genius which lies asleep in your brain, and cause it to drive you upward to whatever goal you may wish to achieve.
Abraham Lincoln was a failure at everything
he tried, until he was well past the age of forty. He was a Mr. Nobody from Nowhere, until a great experience came into his life, aroused the sleeping genius within his heart and brain, and gave the world one of its really great men. That “experience” was mixed with the emotions of sorrow and LOVE. It came to him through Anne Rutledge, the only woman whom he ever truly loved.
It is a known fact that the emotion of LOVE is closely akin to the state of mind known as FAITH, and this for the reason that Love comes very near to translating one’s thought impulses into their spiritual equivalent. During his work of research, the author discovered, from the analysis of the life-work and achievements of hundreds of men of outstanding accomplishment, that there was the influence of a woman’s love back of nearly EVERY ONE OF THEM. The emotion of love, in the human heart and brain, creates a favorable field of magnetic attraction, which causes an influx of the higher and finer vibrations which are afloat in the ether.
If you wish evidence of the power of FAITH, study the achievements of men and women who have employed it. At the head of the list comes the Nazarene. Christianity is the greatest single force which influences the minds of men. The basis of Christianity is FAITH, no matter how many people may have perverted, or misinterpreted the meaning of this great force, and no matter how many dogmas and creeds have been created in its name, which do not reflect its tenets.
The sum and substance of the teachings and the achievements of Christ, which may have been interpreted as “miracles,” were nothing more nor less than FAITH. If there are any such phenomena as “miracles” they are produced only through the state of mind known as FAITH! Some teachers of religion, and many who call themselves Christians, neither understand nor practice FAITH. Let us consider the power of FAITH, as it is now being demonstrated, by a man who is well known to all of civilization, Mahatma Gandhi, of India. In this man the world has one of the most astounding examples known to civilization, of the possibilities of FAITH. Gandhi wields more potential power than any man living at this time, and this, despite the fact that he has none of the orthodox tools of power, such as money, battle ships, soldiers, and materials of warfare. Gandhi has no money, he has no home, he does not own a suit of clothes, but HE DOES HAVE POWER.
How does he come by that power?
HE CREATED IT OUT OF HIS UNDERSTANDING OF THE PRINCIPLE OF FAITH, AND THROUGH HIS ABILITY TO TRANSPLANT THAT FAITH INTO THE MINDS OF TWO HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE.Gandhi has accomplished, through the influence of FAITH, that which the strongest military power on earth could not, and never will accomplish through soldiers and military equipment. He has accomplished the astounding feat of INFLUENCING two hundred million minds to COALESCE AND MOVE IN UNISON, AS A SINGLE MIND. What other force on earth, except FAITH could do as much?
