How to make affiliates and vendors work easier?

    Hello everyone.

    I'm a new vendor on ClickBank and I want to improve the way I approach, work and help my affiliates, so I decided to create this thread in order to do it.
    The main goal in this thread is to create a space where vendors and affiliates can suggest ways of improving their relationship. What does an affiliate need to promote a vendor? What do you, as an affiliate, would like to receive to work with someone? What does a vendor expect from an affiliate besides the sells? Do you have a suggestion to improve the current relationship between vendors and affiliates?

    Hope to hear from everyone so we can improve as vendors and affiliates, that way we'll earn more money and have a better time doing it.

    Happy Day to everyone :):):)

    There's a lot of good ways to attract affiliates to your offer. First you're going to want an affiliates section set up with PPC keywords, banners, articles, emails etc. If you've got the capital offer bonuses to affiliates who make x amount of sales, cash bonuses via PayPal work very well :).

    I'm considering giving away free e-books and cash bonuses to my top affiliates, but since ClickBank does not allow to contact affiliates, do you know how can I do it?

    Have an opt-in form for your affiliates.

    Isn't this against ClickBank's policies? And will they find out I'm gathering affiliates info?

    Also affiliates like merchants offering more than 1 domain to point the offer to. This way it doesn't get saturated and affs are able to test your product before making landing pages.

    IMO this is what the network is for.. in this case it's Clickbank, it is there job to manage the relationship between affiliates and merchants, they should be asking both parties what they are doing right, wrong and how they can improve :)

    I agree with that ChrisBa, but we shouldn't rely on ClickBank to do so, as business people we are, or want to become, we must be proactive and find ways to improve ourselves as vendors, and to help our affiliate to improve as well.

    Affiliates who market through list want to have some quality content distributed to their list while promoting your product. As a vendor, you may want to produce some kind of a free report for them to use. that would be very helpful!

    Perhaps giving our affiliates our testimonials could help???

    Do you guys think that if we provide our affiliates with excellent and objective reviews done by our customers, it could help the affiliates in their process???

    Nice Day to everyone :):):)
