Complete affiliate center - Attract solid affiliates!

Hi Guys, Some thing was going in my mind from couple of weeks and today I would like to share with you.
Before I start let me give you little info about me. I had started affiliate marketing way back in 2007 with Cj.com but I taste real success with CB and earning right over $200 a day (Avg). I am not presenting my earning to impress any one but to take this post seriously.

Every second day we saw a new product introduced in Dp’s Clickbank section. Some products are good and really need to have Solid affiliate center to attract more affiliates.
Many affiliates like me are lazy and try to utilize each and every single thing given in affiliate center and let me tell you most of the time it works.

Tragedy is most of the affiliate centers are incomplete. And following are the components which a publisher must add to his affiliate center.

There are two types of affiliate marketers, one who go through paid traffic and second use free traffic generation methods. And following tools will help both.

Affiliate Link generator

Product Images

Banners >> Call to action banners (All possible shape and sizes)

Audio link/file >> With list of pod casting site. (At-least 2 files)

Video links/Files >> With list of high traffic video sharing sites. (At-least 5 different videos)

Email Copy >> There are lot of affiliates those who collects email address of potential buyers and you must provide at-least 5 email follow-ups.

Keywords >> At-least 6 different keyword groups.

PPC Ad copy >>As per keywords given, relevant and appealing 6 ad copies.

Landing Page Template(With high quality content) >> Educate reader how to utilize landing page and encourage them to re-write whole landing page content to avoid duplicate content keeping the moral same. This will also give a good SERP.

Forum Signatures >> 3 to10 different forum signatures (Templates) which will appeal viewer to click on it and read further.

Forum Lists >> List of relevant forums, Instruct affiliate not to spam forum but to add value to his post so people will click on the link to find more info on particular topic.

Classified Ad templates >> there are lot of sites like usfreeads.com which get instant ranking boost in google and have their own audience too. Giving classified Ad templates and the list of similar sites saves time of affiliate. Always advice affiliates to re-write content for maximum results.

Articles >> A downloadable .zip file with 30 PLR articles will help your affiliate a lot. As I suggested earlier try to explain him the importance of Unique content. I personally use lot of PLR content to re-write it and submit it to ezinearticles.com and other article directories. I am happy to say my major revenue is generated through article marketing.

List of article directories >> Only give top ten list of article directories else affiliate will be frustrated to submit one article to 50 directories. And from my experience it don’t works as far as sales are concern.

Product Review >> Most of affiliates lack in presell skills and it’s your responsibility to educate them so they can work with you for longer time. A product review template (Content) which affiliate can re-write it keeping the moral same is must.

List of free Blog sites

List of top Social bookmarking site

Other free tools

Still I believe, This is not the complete affiliate center, due to time limitation I am finishing this topic but I will add more points soon..

 

Wow ! this is a great list but to be honest at least I haven't seen ALL tools at any of the aff links in CB. Have you ?

 

CB does not provide other affiliate tools (the ones thread creator mentioned) but if you visit the homepage of the site you are thinking about promoting, they usually have a link somewhere on the page to get the affiliate material if they actually provide it.

The more affiliate material/tips provided the more affiliate marketers will get convert's. If you want a army of hungry affiliate marketers promoting the site daily or weekly, provide more tools like the thread creator mentioned. Keep the affiliate marketers motivated about the product so they won't stop promoting it after 1 week.

 

Neither do I, But when a product creator build an affiliate center he must be very focus about what he is giving. So far Http://TopSecretFatLossSecret.com/affiliates.php is the best affiliate center I had ever seen.

Also,Travis's Magic of making up is one of the most interactive one, He help is affiliate to success and its no wonder his program is reaching 300+ gravity.

 

Is there a blog that gives step by step tutorials on how to create these resources?

 

This is great infomation that i wish i would of read 3 months ago when i launched my product

 

please explain what is affiliate center?

 

Hi namidha,

By "affiliate center" we are talking about the affiliate page that you see on most clickbank products that has tools for affiliates like banners, keywords, articles etc...

Chris

 

Great information, especially since I'm getting ready to launch a product in a few months Thanks a bunch for the info

 

My aim to create this thread was to make merchant aware of what exactly an affiliate is looking in affiliate center.
If merchant develop affiliate center keeping focus on either Paid or free marketing method this will boost product gravity for sure.

As a bum marketer I need to have atleast one presell page template and 30+ articles.

 

Robert this is a REALLY good thread.

Rep given!

 

Good advise for the publishers providing affiliates tools!

 

This is superb. I was given this link by someone who posted a response to me on another thread. I really thank him & you for this list of affiliate tools.

It's a very long list and I can't provide all of it, to be honest. But I'm committed to adding maybe 5 more resource tools because... I WANT CLICKBANK AFFILIATES BEHIND THIS:

Thanks for appreciation, You can start with 5 or less tools but if you are serious about your venture you must add more as gravity sores.

JoseArmando, Chri5123, earth4energy guy these people help their affiliates to make sales and eventually they are succeeding as a publisher.

 

Does anyone know where I could go to find someone to build an affiliate center for me? Would GetaFreeLancer.com be a solid place to go?

 

NCMedia (nichechoppers) also gives great resources with really good landing templates ... and yeah, Swerd (earth4energy guy) is amazing, that's why he does so well!!

 

Guess i need to put hands down and dirty next days: my affiliates need more tools!!!!

 

No. I wouldn't trust anyone at GAF. Even Elance, which has a better choice of providers, is kinda dicey.

My feeling on this is that this is way to important to outsource. This is probably one thing where you need to burn the midnight oil and do it yourself.

However, yes - you can definitely outsource the ELEMENTS of the center (outsource the autoresponders, outsource the blog posts, etc.)

 

Thanks for the advice.

I've long time been an affiliate but I work in my own way so I think I've mostly added things that would help affiliates who work like I do. But it's good to hear from other affiliates and to see what kind of things they need for success.

I've been trying to offer some things that most CB products don't (such as AdWords tracking, KW targeted landing page options, & the offer of building links for affiliates) but I think I'm missing some things that could help me draw in more affiliates (such as the landing page templates and the PLR articles.)

 

Where can i find PLR audio/video files for a health niche?
