Hi Kate. If it's a digital product: ClickBank; a physical product: Commission Junction. Hope this helps.
OK -someone take the time and energy- explain how PPC is worth for an affiliate program? Paying by each click? How much do programs usually pay and how is it worth it ? Cheers
You: PPC is a strategy in your overall marketing plan. It contains split testing of Design, copywriting and sales ads. Costly advertising method until you find the right combination's that sell well. You need to FIND Buying Keywords that people are using for your service - If you are looking for a Psychic.. What would you search on? trusted psychics? psychics reviews? Psychic forums? Affiliates: Can be lucrative if the payout is worth it, For example if you are paying out 100$ for the CPA offer.. then I would find buying keywords that are .05-.30 cent a click.. and gamble on loosing a certain amount of clicks to make 1 cpa offer of 100$ covering my costs. So 100 clicks= 25$ but if I can 3 CPA completions I will make 275$ after advertising costs.
Yes and there are many ways to do it,for example: Put your logo on your vehicle. Write press releases. Place an ad in the Yellow Pages. Get brocheres and flyers made. Also get your clients to refer you. As to online advertising,try banner ads. Join as many sites as you can and let everyone know about you. And yes use affiliate marketing as well.
Hey, thanks for the reply - I do the banner ads - and the for oddlien I will try the yellow pages - you think it will work? will people go online and check it ?
Advertising is what I do for a living. Trust me the Yellow Pages work and it doesn't cost much at all. Remember that advertsing for your buisness can be used as a tax writeoff too,save all your receipts.
Submit to affiliate directories. One of the more established ones is at associateprograms.com You can also post on affiliate forums (without spamming if there is an affiliate program sub-forum)
The best way to get affiliates is through networking. Being in-house, recruiting affiliates is relatively more involved. If you are a merchant and if you are not prepared to spend countless number of hours on marketing your program and recruiting affiliates, having an OPM (outsourced program manager) might also be a good alternative. As for the advice on the affiliate program itself.. stay away from parasites and make sure your tracking & reporting are absolutely rock solid.
