Don't you ever wonder how some people are able to make a fortune over the internet while others seem to struggle? You have probably tried every form of marketing there is and still have not realized much success.
Why do you think this is? Do you think it's because the people who are making more money then you are smarter? Do you think they know something you don't? I assure you it's none of these things, the people who make all of the money are simply applying powerful money making principals you probably aren't.
You are trying to do everything yourself and you only have so much time to do it.
If you only have so much time to do your marketing, how much money do you think you will be able to make? Not much, because you only have so much time and even though the internet never sleeps if you don't put in a mass effort, especially when you are starting out, it will be hard for you to see profits.
This is why you want to start an affiliate program for whatever product you create.
If you have any kind of success with your product and you feel people will buy it then start an affiliate program.
But it is not that easy to just jump into, you have to do a few things to make sure you have a chance or your affiliate program to really take off.
Doing proper research: You must do the proper research if you hope to be successful when you decide to create an affiliate program, being able to know what your market wants and whether or not there is a demand for it will go a long way in determining your success.
Go around and check out a few forums to see what a particular niche wants.
What problem do they want solved? Look for the most common posted thread or the one with the most replies and see if you can make a program that will solve this problem.
If you do this and do proper marketing you will get good conversion which is a must if you are going to try and get affiliates to promote for you.
Getting good content: You want to make sure that they content you'll be offering is top notch and that your sales letter will get the conversions.
If your sales letter sucks you will not get the conversations and no affiliate who is worth their weight is going to waste their time promoting your stuff.
If you are not good at writing copy then you must hire someone who can do it for you.
You don't have to pay an arm and a leg, you can find decent copy writers for a few hundred dollars depending on how many pages you want done.
I've seen some for as low as five hundred dollars for a few pages which is a steal.
Knowing where to find affiliate: If you have the first two things in order now you have to know where to find affiliates.
Luckily for you there is a place called ClickBank that gives you a running start.
Make sure your material is good though otherwise you may be rejected.
If you go on ClickBank it will cost you a little bit of money, but it is worth it if you get just a few good affiliated promoting your stuff.
You will have to offer generous commissions and prove your stuff sells.
If you can do this you will get more affiliates then you can handle.
There are two ways to make a lot of money.
You can either leverage your money or other people's money, or you can leverage other peoples time.
By leveraging other people time and efforts you will make far more money then you ever could by yourself.
This is what separates the strong from the weak in internet marketing.
