How To
Setup The Ultimate Affiliate Programme
|
|

Using this method you will be able to setup a
great affiliate programme,no affiliate link theft and provide affiliate
with all the stats and resources they need
To make good money, you will need to get high traffic to your site.
This isn’t easy to achieve but with an affiliate programme you can
increase your traffic considerably. An affiliate programme works by
providing a unique code for each affiliate that is linked to your sales
site. When a visitor sent by an affiliate buys a copy of your ebook,
you give them commission.
So what our affiliate page needs to do is, convince as many people as
possible to sign up and become an affiliate. You have got to let your
potential affiliate know, how the product sells, the commission you
will give them and the training you will give them to help them sell
your ebook. Therefore your affiliate’s page is like your sales page, it
really needs to sell.
Now the big problem with affiliates is that very few that sign-up
actually make a sale for you. I’d say roughly 15% and that’s doing
well. The reason affiliate programmes falter, is the inexperienced
people need support. Remember if you can increase the chances of the
inexperienced 85% selling your products, it will lead to considerable
extra profits.
So what we need to do is educate the non-experienced affiliates. The
best way we can do this is an affiliate course. This will allow your
affiliate to educate themselves. Having an affiliate course also allows
you to stay in regular contact with your affiliate after they have
signed up for your affiliate programme. You are “in their face” more.
Now I am sure you are saying to yourself how do I set up an affiliate
course to educate my potential customers? It’s simple you already know
how to. It’s the exact same as setting up a newsletter. Remember I
spoke about getting Getresponse as an auto responder. Well you can also
use this to take care of your affiliate course.
In a few minutes I am going to tell you about a piece of software that
will automatically set up an affiliate sign-up page for you. It’s the
same as the opt-in form we produced for the newsletter earlier. All you
need do then is get your sign-ups to be forwarded to your
autoresponder. With getresponse you can programme it to send out an
email every three, seven or fourteen days (this is at your own
discretion). So you can write a 6 part affiliate course on your
autoresponder and send one part out every week.
You are probably saying too yourself, where am I going to get an
affiliate training course, well this is simple! All you have to do is
sign up to my affiliate programme. You will be automatically subscribed
for the six part affiliate course. Save the course in your inbox and
you have full rights from me to use this course for your own affiliate
programme. So basically your copying and pasting my affiliate course
into your own autoresponder when you set up your programme
Ok, how to set up your own affiliate programme. I mentioned earlier
that if you sign up for clickbank, they will also take care of your
affiliate programme. What I love about clickbank managing your
affiliate programme is that they provide the accounts, the sales
reports and they pay your affiliates every two weeks.
Earlier we setup an affiliate sign up template page. It’s easy to get
affiliates to sign up to your programme. All you do is get the
potential affiliate to sign up for a clickbank account of their own.
Now the link you use to get them to sign up to their own clickbank
account is as follows.
http://AFFILIATE.reseller.hop.clickbank.net
All you need to do is replace the “affiliate word”, with your own
clickbank nickname. What this does is it activates clickbanks affiliate
link. So if someone signs up using the previous link with your
nickname, you will receive commission for clickbank if the person signs
up for the full account. So if your refer someone and they activate
their account fully (activation fee $50), you will receive $10. Also
you will receive a commission from clickbank for every sale they make
with their own product in the future. Roughly this will work out around
.10c for every 10 sales they make.
Now the code an affiliate will provide to link to your site will look
like the following
http://(yournickname).(their nickname) .hop.clickbank.net
In order to let your affiliates generate the code they need to link to
your site and earn credit for any sales they generate, Clickbank will
create an automated affiliate link generator form just like they
generated an automatic order form for your product. Below is the
interface needed to create your affiliate link
http://www.clickbank.com/build.html
By then creating a link on your affiliate signup page to this form,
your affiliates will be able to receive their own unique affiliate
linking code for your website
Once a potential affiliate enters his/her clickbank nickname and clicks
submit, the system then generates their own linking code. This links
from their site to yours, showing that the visitor was sent by them.
Now you can use this affiliate programme if your budget is tight but I
personally use a different programme and here is why I don’t use the
programme outlined above
Firstly anyone can become an affiliate of yours. That means that if one
of your hard working affiliates is promoting you and an interested
individual sees his unique affiliate link to your website, he can just
substitute your first affiliates link with his own, then buy your
product. Your affiliate loses money which was rightly theirs. Not a
good start.
What about someone who you get to your site? Well they can just buy
through their own affiliate link and cut you out of some profits that
were rightly yours as you got them there in the first place.
Thirdly, you don.t actually know who any of your affiliates are because
they don.t have to register with you to become an affiliate. Its easy
to work out the affiliate code they.ll need so they go off promoting
you.
Also your affiliate can’t actually see how many visitors they are
sending to your site. All they know is the commission their making.
It is for the above reasons I use a programme called easyclickmate .
This programme solves the above problems and obviously works in
conjunction with clickbank, to maximise the potential of your clickbank
account. It will also turn your affiliate programme into a very
powerful money making machine!!
The way this software works is simple and very effective:
Affiliate will actually sign up to your programme. They will provide
their name, email, website address and country.
What I love about this software is that it includes its own control
panel. This powerful system gives you comprehensive marketing
statistics such as click-throughs, sales and conversion ratio
(hits/sales) of your affiliates. It will display your top performing
affiliates, top referral urls, top product(s) performance summary.
Your affiliates can login to the affiliate center to check his/her
stats, and retrieve their custom affiliate links which are
automatically generated each time you add new products. The affiliate
codes cannot be switched so the affiliate wont lose commissions he
rightfully earned.
They will also receive an automatic email notification from
easyClickMate when they've made a sale. Details of the email includes
the merchant's name (i.e. you) and how much profit they've made. You
will also receive an email regarding the affiliate sale. This is a
value-added feature as Clickbank has decided stop sale notification to
affiliates.
The reason this software is worth it and why you will actually save
money when you purchase the product for $70 is as follows. The system
works in conjunction with clickbank. You can sell a number of products
using the one clickbank account.
So why don’t you consider this
This software will cost you $70. If you are going to write more than
one ebook product, you will need a second clickbank account which will
cost you another $49.95. Therefore if you are going to write more than
two ebooks you will be saving money and this isn’t even including the
other wonderful features easyclickmate has.
Remember if you have more than one product, you can check your
affiliate stats to see which product is selling the best or the one you
need to improve. You will be able to see which website is converting
the most browsers into buyers.
With this programme, you will be able to entice more potential
affiliates because your programme is so professional looking. Also add
that I’ve supplied you with a full affiliate course. So your affiliate
programme will be very powerful indeed.
I mentioned earlier about setting up an affiliate info(sign up) page
and also an affiliate log-in page. Well the good news is easyclickmate
will install these pages for you and upload them to your website.
Installation is simple and is covered completely by the top quality
guide Adrian Ling(programmer) will provide you with as soon as you buy
his software. This script is written in a language called PHP.
Adrian ling provides a very good manual for installing the software on
your hosting account, and he also provides one on how to setup and use
the software once it’s installed. The manuals are very detailed, and
much like this book, break down the whole process into little east to
follow steps.
