A Simple Way To Dramatically Increase Your
Affiliate Earnings
Affiliate programs are undoubtedly one of
the most powerful systems of business available
today. When they first appeared, they were
a stunning example of how the powerful traditional
strategy of joint-venture marketing, when
combined with the power of the internet, created
an entire new industry that solved the biggest
problems faced by webmasters and web merchants.
For webmasters who specialized in creating
valuable web content and building web traffic,
the problem was how to effectively convert
their traffic into a viable source of revenue.
For web merchants who had to spend their
energies on creating good products and delivering
them to customers, the problem was how to
do web promotion in a cost effective way.
Affiliate programs quickly became a natural
solution to these problems, offering merchants
a way to market their products in a "cost
per sale" manner, while allowing content
publishers to profit from recommending affiliate
products to their visitors.
As a result of the huge success of affiliate
marketing, there is now an incredibly large
number of affiliate programs for publishers
to choose from. These vary in the type of
products offered, the reliability of the affiliate
merchants, and many other areas. An unfortunate
problem for affiliates is that it is often
very difficult to decide which affiliate programs
will make them the most money in the limited
space available in their ezines and websites.
A small but rapidly growing number of merchants,
in their attempts to stand out from among
the crowd of available affiliate programs,
and sign up good affiliates, have begun to
offer affiliate programs that pay affiliate
referral commissions to multiple levels of
affiliates.
In doing so, they offer affiliates the opportunity
to leverage their efforts through the viral
nature of such programs and maximizing the
value of their visitors.
The opportunity to affiliates lie in the
power of "lost" visitors to increase
their earnings.
For example, a successful website may attract
1000 visitors a day and recommend a related
affiliate product to them. Of these 1000 visitors,
only a small number, perhaps about 5 visitors,
would be interested enough to buy the product.
The other 995 visitors end up as "lost"
visitors, of no value to the affiliate. However,
if the affiliate program paid commission on
multiple levels, some of the 995 visitors
(and also the 5 who bought products), would
probably sign up as sub-affiliates of the
original affiliate. When they in turn recommend
the affiliate products and make sales to their
friends and to visitors of their own websites,
the original referring affiliate will also
get paid a referral commission for these sales.
Depending on the number of levels of referral
commissions the merchant offers, the original
affiliate may even make commissions on subsequent
levels of sales!
Through such affiliate programs, affiliates
end up benefiting from the viral multiplication
of their commissions generated through visitors
who would otherwise be of no value to them.
While some people have compared these multi
level affiliate programs with the MLM programs
which flood the net, web merchants have been
careful to draw a clear distinction in that
as with single level affiliate programs, no
joining fees, training fees, nor "start-up"
fees are ever required. Since no money is
ever required to participate in these multi
level affiliate programs, no money can ever
be made by simply recruiting people to join
these programs.
The value of these programs lies in their
ability to unlock the huge earnings potential
in the large numbers of web visitors who would
otherwise be "lost" to affiliates.
If you already participated in affiliate
programs, simply switch to a multi level affiliate
program and watch your affiliate earnings
multiply.
