What are your Most Popular and Successful Incentives for Affiliates?
one of my ebooks (clickbank) which I have advertised just on adwords so far for some months, has a few days ago suddenly taken off. Some days ago, a few affiliates started joining it (I guess they've found it on clickbank, seeing an increasing gravity score) and for a few days now, I get sales just through affiliates every day.
So, please allow me to share my happiness with you.
I now want to give incentives for current affiliates, as well as for affiliates I am about to recruit.
What I'd love to know is your most popular and successful incentives you've offered your affiliates OR what incentives have motivated you to join an affiliate program OR send more traffic to it?
I know that it depends on the niche, the price and other factors.
But as I and many of us have many products, I'm curious to know what works best in which markets or niches.
The ebook I'm talking about is addressed to people self-employed and to internet marketers in general ($40-product; 50% commission), but it's not how to make money.
What has motivated me as an existing affiliate most to drive more traffic to an existing program was the incentive to get 15% more commission if I made >10 sales per month. Simple, but it worked. I have since then send more traffic to that program.
The most effective time someone recruited me as an affiliate was about 10 or maybe 12 years ago or so when an affiliate manager has written a postal letter to me, offering me $10 per lead (they have seen that I was one of the top marketers referring their biggest competitors.)
Looking forward to some valuable information and lively exchanges!

PS: This is the first thread I am starting. I have searched the forums for similar threads about affiliate incentives, but haven't found one just revolving around it, so I am initiating this thread. If I should have done otherwise, please advise me and excuse my mistake as a baby warrior.
