I have a product, and a question:

How can I sign up affiliates to my website?

Basically, my first sales of the product will come from other Warriors' lists. I want to give them a 50% commission on all of the sales that arise, but as yet I have no way of knowing who gave me which buyer any help?

    Hiya, you will have to add a an affiliate program of some kind. Using clickbank is an easy way?

    Here you go:

    https://www.clickbank.com/sell_products.html

    Sign up and add your product, it's pretty easy. If you've already created your product and sales page you are almost ready to go. Create a thank you page and follow the instructions provided by Clickbank.

    You could also use http://www.payloadz.com to sell your product and it will allow you to establish affiliates.

    I've just been down this road - you can try $7 secret script for $7 (i had trouble with this and have someone working on it for me, or Rapid Action Profits $177 - which plenty of people are impressed with - I'll be using this once I scrape together the $177, or what I'm using at the moment is PayDotCom - they allow you one product for free, after that you have to join for $29 I think - they also charge a fee for each transaction, and you get paid at the end of the month. The other two you get paid straight to your paypal account and so does the affiliate - so they are better in my opinion.

    Hope this helps

    In your opion is it better to use clickbank or payloadz, because from what I can see Clickbank dont have a way of letting the customer dowload the product, thery just take payment and redirect, whereas Payloadz actually give the product to the customer. An advice?

    Clickbank redirects the buyer to the thank you page immediately after the purchase, so they can download the product on the spot. Clickbank is the best place to sell digital products online and the second would be Paydotcom.com

    Personally I haven't heard of Payloadz, most people here use Clickbank and Paydotcom.

      ok, but the other two cost money and PayLoadz is 100% free. Does any1 know any other free digital product delivery sites?

    I would use ClickBank or PayDotCom.

    Yes, the cost. But they are directories where other marketers go to find products they want to promote.

    How many ebooks, articles, videos, etc. have you seen telling people...

    Step 1.) Go to ClickBank
    Step 2.) Find a product
    Step 3.) Sell the product

    A lot of newer training material also mentions using PayDotCom to find product and get "direct PayPal cash" instead of waiting for ClickBank checks.

    Have you seen any products saying "Step 1.) Go to PayLoadz..."?

      I guess so!

      So, should I go with paydotcom or Clickbank. I think Paydotcom for now, but I'll get onto using clickbank if Paydotcom doesnt produc the best results.

      Thanks for all your help!

      Maybe, but CB is a lot more expensive per product. Maybe I'll transfer it when I get the cash

    Have you started building an opt-in list for your upcoming affiliate program launch? If not, focus your efforts on tackling that first along with building a captivating squeeze page for your offering. Remember, give away at least $100 in value and your conversions will soar!

      Well, this is my first launch, and here is what I was gonna do.

      My product is about the recession, and so I was gonna have a sqeeze page that offered a 14 day free eCourse. Then they'd be taken to my home page, where they could buy my eBook (which I still need reviews for!!! Anyone want to step up?) for $7. Along with that they would get over $150 off free bonus eBooks and videos, which would be anturally stuffed full of affiliate links!

      After that they get my OTO with $1000 of goods, a few Video tutorials and more for only $47.

      I am gonna use PayLoadz or PaydotCom to get affiliates

      I'm with you on this one. In order to have successful or super-affiliates then I believe you should be knowledgeable about the marketing aspect of this business. Marketing your own product would be an excellent way to gain marketing knowledge. I bet if you could successfully market your own product, and there by proving that it is a winner, wouldn't that in itself give you more creditibility!

      Who knows maybe some of those guru's and super-affiliates would be all over you to promote your product! I would even venture they would be blowing up your email to get in on the ground floor! Food for thought!

        Yeah, I guess you're right. Although I have no good, solid knowledge of how to market my product. I've got no money for ppc, so what should I do?

    Think residual... what can you offer them where you get to ping their cc/PayPal month after month? Residual income in this business can retire you, single sale items are good, but if they are a one time sale then you have to find ways to keep the sales coming in month after month.

    I'd be more than glad to review your eBook if you'd like to flip me a copy. I'm all about helping others succeed online. I have a lot of free time now that I've automated the vast majority of my online businesses. Delegation, delegation, delegation... I know it's hard to accomplish but you have to if you want to keep your sanity. ;-)

      Don't depend on PayLoadz or PaydotCom to get you affiliates - or Clickbank, for that matter.

      You still need something like one of those (and there are hundreds of them) to track affiliate sales and pay commissions, but don't expect that to magically create affiliates for your product.

      It may happen, but don't bet the success of your product on it.

      To get the best affiliates, seek out people promoting products in the same (or similar) niche. Look in niche-specific forums and/or article directories (they're there). Do Google searches to find other offers in your niche - then check to see if the web page uses the merchant link or an affiliate link, and if they have any sort of "contact" page on the site.

      Get your sales page launched, so you have something to show them once you find them.

      Jump on every opportunity you find, but don't sit and wait for them to come to you (they may not know how to find you).

    You need to give detail of your product for a start. I think you started the wrong way round. Ideally, before you start thinking a product, you would have been trying hard to identify a market, i.e., identify people's problems, and think of solution for those problems. Your products will then sell. Without telling others what your product does will not get you many affiliates.

    The beauty of selling your wares through an affiliate program is that it doesn't take money to make money. I built a million-dollar producing membership-based web site system and it cost me $0 in advertising. Affiliate marketing works but like anything, you have to "work". The nice thing about this business is that the "work" is fun or at least it should be. Do what you love and the money will follow... sometimes it will follow forever if you build it right.
