Do you really need affiliates for your offer?
After communicating with prospective affiliates regarding some offers of mine, I'm convinced that spending time courting and / or soliciting affiliate alliances can be a sever waste of time if you have quality products to offer.
All affiliates who have reached out to me have shared one or more (mostly all) of the following things in common.
- They have been prepared with precise proposals on how I'd be doing things their way. I honestly thought and expected a "hey, let me review your product, and if I like I will promote to my list of XYZ people..." Instead, they've come with; "ok we're going to turn this product into a bonus of this product with a backend offer to another product and hook it in with a side end bonus... then we're going to do a training site and split the funds... and we're going to do this by next Thursday because.... " {that brings me to point #2} What?
- They have the most spectacular lifestyles straight out of Lifestyles of the rich and famous. I have had 3 affiliates go out of their way to insert their travel itineraries into every message they've sent me. Italy, villas, resorts, etc. It's to a point where I feel badly for them. At first I thought they thought I was a fool, but I have come to realize they cannot help themselves.
They're always "doing you a favor." They're never in it for the money. They're in it to do you some sort of favor to "build your list."
What's been you guys' experience with affiliates? Maybe it's just me, but I've decided to stay away from them. Very very far away from.
Well I do have ONE condition... If they have bought my product and implemented it and then reported their experience in their initial outreach, then yes, they might be worth dealing with. Other than that, no no no no.
