I will be launching an Affiliate program soon. My question's are: (1) Once the Affiliate system is ready to go, where can i list the program? Is there some websites that you can signup (free or low cost) where they list the program for you? (2) Is there any such thing as a "super Affiliate" who would be good to approach and partner with, so that it can get marketed well? (3) How do you arrange or set up a JV for an Affiliate program? (4) Would anyone have suggestions for other factors to keep in mind, that i may not have considered? Looking forwards to all answers. Thanks in advance
You sound just like me a few years ago. If you have a quality product and good conversion the affiliates will find you. There are a few affiliate summits every year. Try to attend one. It will make a huge difference for you.
A few quick answers 1. Clickbank and Paydotcom for ebooks etc 2 and 3 are closely related so here goes: There are super affiliates out there that earn bundles and these guys are the ones you want on board because they can make or break you. Look in your inbox, I'm sure it's filled with super affiliate emails. These guys can send your product to their "opt in lists" - if that happens you can literally just sit back and count the money. Obviously, to get these guys on board you'll have to offer them a decent cut but it'll be worth it. If your product's worth its salt then approach these guy via email with a download link to your product so they can test it and a "nice" email and take it from there. Good luck dude.
Thanks to all of you for the suggestions, i am making an effort to find out a bit more and go from there. What i had in mind initially when i started the thread was if there was some websites to list the actual afficates (yes i kow they will find me if it is good to start with, but the fact is there can never be too much promotion lol) Its not an ebook or anything that has been done before, and no its not MLM or anything at all. Its a totally new concept and is still an afflicate system.
So your telling me that if someone launches a website and has an affiliate program with a good product, then people will now about it even if you don't advertise the site? If you don't advertise then no one will know about it.
