How to increase affiliates for product ?

Well you can lower the ultimate cost for buyer or you can ensure that the comission is higher for the affiliate than other competing products. Also you can ensure that you have a killer sales page to ensure that sales convert well, post the URL on he forum in the copywriting section and I'm sure some pro in the field will be able to give you a few pointers.

Well as someone who's been an affiliate before, I can tell you this. If your product doesn't have an extensive affiliate section (you cheaped out) it's unlikely any big fish will bite.

Most importantly though is the quality of your product. If you've got a quality product, nice sales page, some conversions to boost and a nice affiliate section you won't have to ask people to help you they would be more then delighted to as is.

So really it's just a matter of creating a product/brand that you can really truly stand behind.

Post to many forums (announce) about your affiliate program and get in touch with the affiliates through forums and provided useful resources to them to promote.

• Make sure your product converts before launching it. Test it with 1000s of traffic and ideally 100s of sales.
• Make things as easy as possible for affiliates - launch with a full affiliate materials section so they only have to do minimal things to test your program out.
• Announce your launch on the affilaite forums, like this one and DP.
• Contact blog owners manually, and setup JVs and offers to big affiliates one by one.

This is a very rough guide, and each of the above points can take many many hours - with manual recruitment / setting up JVs being a full time, ongoing job.

I agree with Alexa.

The only disadvantage so to speak in picking the second approach is that you really really have to have a great product and a professionally written sales copy like you said.

IMHO only 1% of products are like that. But that doesn't mean that those other 99% of products aren't good. So maybe for a product that's not as perfect as those 1% would be better to pursue the first approach and invest time and money into creating a fair enough affiliate center to attract lots of "smaller" affiliates.

All in all, I think it doesn't hurt to use both approaches.

But yes, I agree it's far better to get the big guys to promote your product.

Take care,

I suggest adding link and announcement that on your warrior's signature is good enough.

There, that should help you out

I have large mailing lists so I get approached every day by people wanting to do JVs and have me promote for them. I look at three things:

1. Their sales page. If it looks cheap, if it's poorly written, etc...I will not respond. Personally, I have an extensive background as a writer so I can write my own pages. This is not the case for 99% of people. If they try to save money by writing their own sales pages, it is embarrassingly obvious.

2. Their affiliate center. The big boys have everything set up for you to promote for them. If the person contacting me does not even HAVE an affiliate center, I can't take them seriously.

3. Do they have a list/can they reciprocate? I respect the effort when newbies contact me to try to have me promote them, but unless their product is PHENOMENAL, why should I alert my massive number of subscribers to buy their product...when I can't get a mailing in return?

Seems like these days there are a lot of IM newbies slapping together e-books and sniffing around, trying to get the bigger players to promote them. It just doesn't work that way.

I once bought a WSO on affiliate marketing from a Warrior I followed. It was a simple system and what he used to promote affiliate products.

Of course by the end of the WSO you're pumped up, motivated and ready to take action. The first question you ask yourself is what niche ... what affiliate product.

Well he'd made that easy by subtly pluggin his own affiliate program, why that niche was hot and making it seem like an easy (path of least resistance) and good choice.

The WSO only cost $1 ... I'm sure he made his money back selling the WSO and got a fair few affiliates from it.
