Hi my whole family has been writing a bunch of how to type ebooks/programs and are wanting to sell it via a platform like clickbank. You can read more about it in this thread http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...e-vending.html

I'm curious to what you affiliates look for out of a vendor on their affiliates page when your looking for a new product to work with? (besides a good product and high conversion)

Thanks!

    Hey Zac,

    I like to look for an affiliates page that has alot of material to use for marketing.
    Banners, articles, emails and images,etc.

    This let's me know that the vendor has put some effort into the whole process and is more than likely going to help with any questions that you have regarding how to sell their product.

    Also, besides the affiliate page, try contacting the product's owner and see how their handling of the email goes. Were they fast, courteous, helpful, etc.

    Another thing that comes to mind is if there is an opt-in on their sales page, people tend to shy away from those products because you can lose a potential customer once they opt-in to that buyer's list.
    Just a few of the things that I think about.

    Good luck with your search!

    Joe

    Affiliates care about the conversion rate. They want to know if it is easy to sell your products, and how much money they can make based on the traffic they will send to your website.

    This is the best post I found about this matter:

Send traffic to it using your own methods and get the thing converting at 1 to 3%. Then, put up a big commission (50 to 75%), and create a landing page which shows the screenshots of your conversion rate, and a formula that forecasts their earnings like this:

    Product price is $200, your commission is 75%, so 500 hits = 150 x 10. That's $1,500 for every 500 hits you bring us.
    Get something likes this on the right networks and you'll have no problem getting the best affiliates to sign up.

      Here is a good starting list:

      Good Conversion Rate
      High Commission
      Banners, Articles & Reviews
      Product's Appeal to Specific Market / List
      Good Customer Service
      Reputable Creator
      High Quality Product

      In no way is this an all inclusive list, just a general idea to work off

    The #1 important factor is Earnings Per Click for many affiliates.

    I.e. how much is the affiliate going to make, on average, if they send x amount of clicks to the offer?

    #2 would be some "done for you" email swipes. However, I very rarely EVER see any that aren't insanely spammy. The best swipes are ones that convert, whilst not sounding like they are just some OTT promotion. How many have you ever seen where you've thought "yep, i'd be happy to send that to my email list that I've spent a lot of time building a relationship with?". For me, it's zero! So if you're going to provide swipes, my advice is to make them "conversational", make them useful (actually provide information in them, as opposed to the standard "Hey my friend has just found out a secret formula. CLICK HERE TO GET THE SECRET FORMULA. CLICK HERE TO GET THE SECRET FORMULA." - those swipes SUCK hard!)
