Hi there, my name is Joachim Rodriguez and I am the webmaster of http://www.seo-coaching.net. After the launch of a product series (Affiliate Marketer Starter Kits with PLR Website, Content, Hosting, Domain, etc...) I have started an affiliate program using the plugins WP eShop and WP Affiliate Platform on this wordpress site. Before the launch I have completely redesigned the website which used to be solely a blog on affiliate coaching and seo coaching topics. Now I am about to recruit affiliates using some platforms like shareasale and others. However, there are not many affiliates subscribing to my program. What might be the reason? The conditions? The products? The promotion materials? The website in general? Here is the product description: http://www.seo-coaching.net/products/ Here are the affiliate conditions: - 25% commission on every sale - planning additional 10% commission on 2nd tier - 90 days cookie lifetime - 15 USD minimum payout - product prizes from 26 USD to 269 USD - planning an additional premium product/autoblog with established PR2 domains with minimum of 500 yahoo backlinks and existing stream of inbound traffic for 679 USD. - affiliate support - text ads and affiliate link available - banners, prewritten emails, page peel, pop under planned - attractive niche (adsense/cpa/internet marketing) - product comes with PLR rights - affiliate support I am really trying my best to offer great products and great affiliate earning potentials. Please help me and provide some feedback on how I can improve my affiliate recruiting. Thank you, Joachim
Hello Joachim, That souns excellent and I'll join up to your affiliate program in a moment or two and promote it on 3 of my project. I run a local auction, an ecommerce services site and an affiliate directory. Speaking of the affiliate directory. If you would like a premium link placing on it for free for 1 year. Please sign up at http://www.the-seo-store.com/cgi-bin/network/rgs_register.cgi and register your affiliate program. It does require a link back I'll point out. But why not join join my affiliate program http://www.the-seo-store.com/affiliates/and have your reciprocal link earn you commission. The premium listing includes 1 year subscription (when the premium listing expires it will carry on as a normal listing). This features a highlighted listing with clear information on program type, program commissions, pay cycle and minimum payout amount. As well as the affiliate Url and a join button that sends visitors straight to your signup page. When you have published your program into the directory. Contact me through the site and let me know and I'll update it to premium. Anyone else with decent products on offer like Joachim please feel free to contact me for a similar offer. Thanks and the all the best, Mark
Hi Mark, thank you very much for your reply. I like your website and have subscribed to the affiliate program and added my affiliate program to your directory. My user ID is "SilverSunrise". Would you upgrade me to premium? That would be really great. I have also added a reciprocal link to my blog. Thank you very much and to your success, buddy!
Hello Joachim. All done! Please check if everything is ok with your listing. Also, is your payment cycle every two weeks? Thanks, Mark
To even increase your earnings we have added another revenue level for you. You can earn an additional 10% of the sales value from the affiliates you refer. So if you refer an active affiliate and this affiliate generates a sale of 67,25 USD you still get 6,73 USD from that sale. This will be for life!! There is no limit on the cookie lifetime for the second tier earnings. This way you can refer affiliates and generate a permanent stream of income to your account. What do you think? Is there anything else I can do to make my affiliate program more attractive to super affiliates?
Thank you for your emails and messages. Due to the feedback I received, I have changed following things on my affiliate program: - first tier cookie lifetime: from 90 days to "never expire" - second tier commissions: 18% Hope this helps to get more affiliates. Best, Joachim
Hi apoc, thank you for your interest. The signup form is here: http://www.seo-coaching.net/wp-content/plugins/wp-affiliate-platform/affiliates/ Currently, I am building and designing promotion material. If you need anything specific, just let me know I will do my best to get it to you. I am also looking for an affiliate manager who is capable of recruiting established and successfull affiliates. If you will be able to recruit more than 50 affiliates within the first 3 months, I will increase your second tier commission level from 18% to 25%...so you will earn a 25% share of the revenues of the affiliates you referred to my affiliate center.
just to clarify the two tier model: With a two-tier affiliate tracking system, not only are the affiliates rewarded for sending direct sales to a web site, they also get rewarded for encouraging other affiliates to join the affiliate program. Say for example, Person A is an affiliate. Person A sends Person B to the site. Person B becomes an affiliate too. Person B referes Person C who buys a product. In the normal scenerio Person B will receive a commission for referring the sale. In the tier affiliate model Person B still receives the commission but Person A also receives a small commission since Person A originally referred person B to this site. lets say: product A costs $100. Affiliate A commission is set to 20% and Affiliate B commission is 10%. both, Affiliate A and Affiliate B get exactly 20% and 10% from $100, which means that person A gets $20 and person B $10. Hope this information helps.
