Listing your product on other affiliate networks, a good idea?

[Daniel Brock]

Hello Warriors,

I recently released my first product and have been experimenting with generating affiliates now that I have my conversion rates down.

One thing I read somewhere(cant remember exactly where) was to sign up your product on multiple affiliate networks.

Right now I am only on Clickbank.

Is it recommended to sign up with as many as I can get to accept my product?

Will they freak out since I am using clickbank, or do I need to make a different website for each affiliate network I try to add my product to?

Thank you for your input!

I personally would not promote a product that has alternative payment options even when it is on different web sites.

Another thing you should really consider, if I understand you correctly, you want affiliates because your conversions are down... that's an interesting approach... what makes you think that affiliates will want to do all the work on a product that doesn;t convert?

If you want your affiliates to promote for you, you have to at least do the job for increasing conversions.

That goes for me, too. I think it will go for many Clickbank affiliates.

I think he meant "down" in the sense of "having something down pat": he meant "now my conversion-rate is sorted out"?!

I have seen people do this and here is how they do it.

Lets say your site is yourdomain.com on clickbank

If you wanted to put it on different affiliate networks you would register yourdomain.net or yourdomain.info and have that affiliate networks ONE payment option on each site. So each site may be exactely the same except for the order button and payment processor. Each affiliate page would probably be a little different.

I don't do it but I have seen it done like this.

And here I thought he was meaning that he got his conversions "down", as in the number was low. Say one in ten rather than one in twenty, so the number was lower or better.

Funny how different people can see the same words and yet take different meanings out of it. Wonder which of us was right.

By low I meant lower conversion rate as in going from 1:100 down to 1:65.

Thanks for the input everyone. Seems like to me that it would be more trouble than it's worth.

Not to mention the individual listing fees that the affiliate networks usually make you pay.

I think my time would be much better spent actually finding the affiliates, than hoping to have the affiliates find me through a different network.

You were: it would never have occurred to me that anyone would consider 1/65 "lower" than 1/100, though even I'm numerate enough to appreciate that 65 is lower than 100!
