Ready To Launch My Product Best Affiliate Question

11 replies
I did a search but found more affiliate programs than what I needed. Can you tell me which affiliate program is the fastest, easiest and the least hands on? I'd like to set it up for my program below actually in my signature or on my profile page now) the commission will probably be about %50.

I've used clickbank and JV zoo (which is super easy) nott sure which is the better program. Thanks for your help

Lisa


( thanks for all the tips everyone)
I have a friend with a pretty large list but I think I need to fix a step on my page as well. I'd like them to opt in and then get the product. Right now there are two things happening on the page: add their email and also add to cart.

    Hi Lisa,

    Congratulations on creating your own product!

    The main difference between ClickBank and JVZoo is that with JVZoo you get the contact details of your affiliates, but with ClickBank you do not.

    But I would not call either of these affiliate programs 'hands-off'. Because you have go out there and recruit your own affiliates.

    Where you'll find more affiliates who want to sign up to your program is with Warrior Plus, which works in conjunction with this forum. But here, of course, you need to offer a better deal than Warriors can get elsewhere.

    And you will need to carefully check the credentials of each applicant and be confident you know them and can rely on them.

    When hiring affiliates you need to be aware that the Pareto 80/20 rule does not apply: it's more like 95/5, which means that only around 5% of your affiliates will product a meaningful number of sales.

    So it really is a case of 'numbers count' - being careful with your recruiting and looking after your best affiliates. You might also want to consider offering a larger slice of the sale price than 50%, because the best affiliates are those who don't hammer their list members into the ground with offer after offer. So when they do mail out a promo they want to know they are getting a good paycheck.

    Here's wishing you good luck with your product.

    Warmest regards,

    Paul

    P.S. I would strongly suggest you remove that live link to your product on your post, before the moderators remove this entire thread. But you can put the link in your signature box.

      Thanks- I'm using JVzoo on another product. And it was really easy to use.

      I'm working on how I want it delivered because on JV zoo you use their button and I"m not sure if it adds those buyers to my list or not. Every new buyer via paypal is automatically added.

      On this product I was thinking of just doing a sales page with the add to cart. I didn't really have a funnel although there is an opt in so I may have to make a couple of adjustments. Thanks for the video I skipped around but I'll watch more later. Good info so thanks again.

        JV Zoo integrates with Aweber, GetResponse and Imnica Mail (and maybe more now) and will add buyers to your list at purchase. However, each autoresponder is different on how they are added.

        For example, Aweber doesn't add them until they click the "access purchase" button at JV Zoo. While I believe they are added instantly at purchase when using GetResponse and Imnica.

        You can also send them to a squeeze page after purchase to optin. (put a link under the optin form that says "no thanks" to keep PayPal happy).

        Hope this helps.

        Cheers,
        Coby

    There really isn't that much you need to know about recruiting affiliates

    The most important thing is you have a good product

    Secondly you need to make sure you make your commission structure worthwhile for affiliates to spend the time promoting your products

    And thirdly pick a good affiliate platform. I have always used warrior plus and have picked up a boat load of affiliates using it

    The 2 most important things that you need to focus on if you want to pick up lots of affiliates is make sure you have a solid product and get your epc as high as you can. Your conversions don't mean a thing. It's epc which serious affiliates look at.

    Hi Lisa,
    It looks to me like Click Bank is the most comprehensive . They seem to run a pretty good show and it's easy to work with.. Best of luck.

      Good timing for this thread as I had the same question. Congratulations on launching your product Lisa - good luck!!

      And thanks to Paul & Coby. The info and vid were helpful (and I learned a bit about King William's forest from Wikipedia.)

    Affiliates will mainly concerned with how they are getting paid so jvzoo and clickbank are both reliable platforms, although Clickbank has a larger amount of active affiliates...
