Having hundreds of commission only salesmen can
boost your sales immensely. An affiliate program
is a fantastic solution for all businesses with a
web site.

If you haven't got your own affiliate program set
up already this is going to blow your mind. And
if you have an affiliate program I can guarantee
that this will be a real eye opener. The majority
of affiliate program owners have it set up in a
way that is completely wrong.

Encourage People To Sign Up

Here's where most people go wrong. They set up an
affiliate program and have a links that says "
click here to sign up" and then that's it. You
need to sell your affiliate program. Have a mini
sales letter that explains the benefit of people
signing up. Tell them their commissions and how
they can earn a living without ever having to
create a product or have a web site just by
promoting your products.

Provide Affiliates With Marketing Materials
Here's another big one. Site owners get people to
sign up their affiliate program and then just
leave them to it. It's like they're saying "
thanks for signing up, now go and make me some
cash". That's ridiculous. You need to do all the
hard work for your affiliates if you want to
start earning the big bucks.

Here's the thing. You could write an article and
submit it to article directories all over the
Internet and do very well for yourself. However
if you just had one hundred affiliates blasting
that article all over the net you've just
multiplied your marketing power by one hundred.
This is the key to making massive mounts online.

If you can't write articles etc yourself hire
someone to do so from www.elance.com but do
provide your affiliates with marketing materials
or your just setting yourself up for having a
very mediocre Internet business

Another great method you can use with this is
have a weekly competition. Each week your
affiliate who earns the most gets an extra one
hundred dollars or whatever you can afford.
Mention the winner in a weekly newsletter and say
things like "who thinks they can overtake Joe
Bloggs as being my top affiliate? Come on guys I
know I've got some great marketers signed up as
my affiliates prove it and I'll mention you in
next weeks newsletter".

This is great. Psychologically you are motivating
your affiliates to promote your products like
crazy to get recognition as being your "top gun".
Often ego trips are just as motivating as money.

Motivate Your Affiliates And Explode Your Profits
I've been taking about what you need to do in
order to earn a serious living online through
having your own affiliate program. Done properly
this could earn you more money than you could
ever have dreamed of. The methods in this article
outline what you need to do to in order to
overcome the three barriers of starting an
affiliate program.

You need to:

Persuade people to sign up

Make it easy for them to market

Motivate them to market fast and market hard.

Do this and you'll be able to create a hugely
successful affiliate program and you'll sell a
truckload of your products without any real hard
work or any costs.
