Working With Your Affiliates Is Sort Of A Give-and-take Situation. The Affiliates Are Willing To Utilize Their Time To Promote Your Products In Return For A Sizable Commission Of Each Sale They Make. In Return, You Allow Them To Sell Your Product For A Percentage Of The Sale Price, Which Helps To Spread The Word About Your Product Farther And Faster Than You Could Ever Do Via Your Own Promotional Efforts.

Another thing you need to realize when building your affiliate program and working with top-performing affiliates is that you have to be willing to sacrifice some short-term profit for long-term gains. For instance, giving more than 50% of the selling price away as commissions to your affiliates is one example of giving up short-term gain (more than 50% of the profit from each product sale) to gain long-term benefits (building and maintaining a loyal affiliate force that will sell your products Read the rest of this entry »

By Admin | January 13, 2009

After All, Top-performing Affiliates Only Have So Much Time And Energy To Devote To Their Marketing Efforts - As A Result, They Cannot Say “yes” To Every Proposal They Receive; Otherwise, They Would Live On The Internet 24 Hours A Day, 7 Days A Week, 365-366 Days A Year. As Dedicated As One Is To His/her Business, Virtually No One Does That, Nor Should Be Expected To Do That.
By Admin | January 6, 2009
At times, despite your best efforts, your proposals will be rejected by top-performing affiliates. This happens to everyone, and you should not take it personally.
You need to keep in mind that just because a top-performing affiliate said “no” this time around does not mean he/she will say “no” every time you send a proposal, so don’t forget about that person the next time you create an affiliate marketing opportunity for him/her to consider. And certainly, do NOT “burn that bridge” because Read the rest of this entry »
