quick couple questions...

-How many here devote more than 50% of their time
to Affiliate Marketing?

-What are the Top 3 Things that You Expect the 'Product Developer/Creator" to supply you for your marketing efforts.

It is assumed that you expect a commission.

Some examples of what I am talking about...
-Banners
-Text Linkks
-Affiliate Blog

...etc


Thanks
Sean

    These are the things I expect (but rarely see all of these) and suggest all product creators provide to help sales:
    • Keyword Lists
    • Example Emails
    • Some Articles
    • Graphic Banners
    • Product Graphics (Various Sizes)
    • Sample PPC Ads
    • Rebrandable Special Reports
    Basically anything else to give the affiliate marketer a head start. Make your affiliates lives easier and the faster they will start selling your products.

    Also, one final note, allow your affiliates to include their tracking and conversion code on the final "Thank You Page". This is one of the largest missing things in most affiliate marketing programs.

    Just my 2c on the subject

    I spend most of my time article marketing. I would expect the vendor to provide at the very least some keywords, graphics, and support.

    The ones that provide support for their affiliates and provide a free copy of their product for review are the best. It shows they are dedicated to making their product successful. Affiliates can be an important factor in their success when it comes down to it.

      As far as the affiliate area...provided by the Creator

      What kind of layout do your prefer?

      Blog Setting
      Static

      What frequency of updates do you feel "too much" or not enough?

      Thanks

    Sean..

    it is important to remember that the expectations of your top performing affiliates may not be the same as others... some people ask/expect way too much from a product creator...

    Peace
