Need Affiliate Marketing Help

4 replies
I am new to affiliate marketing and need some help. I have a membership site for solo biz owners that I launched in Sept. 2008 and it has an affiliate program built in that only members can sign up for.

This is my question: If I wanted to invite others to help market the site would online marketers be willing to accept a membership for free to access the affiliate program?

Second, if that is not a good plan how can I establish an affiliate program outside of the site and be effective at monitoring new members to ensure the marketers are paid?

I would be very grateful for any advice you can give me. As an FYI, I do have one product on paydotcom but I wasn't sure how I could use that program with a membership site.

Thanks heaps
Donna

    I'd say that giving them access would need to be a prerequisite for them to want to promote in the first place. How could someone who doesn't know you effectively promote your membership if they've never seen it?

    Most affiliates prefer monthly revenue products, but if you offered them a percentage of upsells, OTOs or anything else that new members might be able to buy - it can sweeten the pot a bit.

      Thank you so much for the feedback. Members are given 30 day trial and then they pay $29 per month or $279 per year and this is the payout commission.
      • $75.00 one time commission for each full access member on the yearly payment option
      • $19.00 one time commission for each full access member on the monthly payment option 1st month
      • $ 9.00 each month for full access memberships on the monthly payment option every month thereafter
      • $10.00 one time commission for each full access member on the yearly payment option one of your affiliates signs up
      • $ 5.00 one time commission for each full access member on the monthly payment option one of your affiliates signs up
      • $ 2.00 each month for full access memberships on the monthly payment option one of your affiliates signs up
      Is this enticing enough? I would absolutely give them access if that would entice others to promote.

    in order for me to promote it I would have to actually see it, maybe a 7 day trial or 24 hour access or something, if the commission was right and the product was good I would pay to promote it
