10 Essentials You Should Consider In Choosing Affiliate Program/s

Affiliate programs are one of the best ways to generate a strong revenue stream. There are literally thousands of affiliate programs to choose from. Program features and support vary tremendously.

The 10 essentials listed below are designed to streamline the search process and help you distinguish an excellent program from an average one.

1. Look for a unique product in a ripe market. Let's face it; there are an awful lot of affiliate programs trying to sell books these days. If you decide to jump on the bandwagon and offer the same product as everybody else, you are at a statistical disadvantage of ever generating meaningful revenue. Look for affiliate programs that offer unique products in a ripe market.
2. Seek programs that have growth potential with an expanding product offering. This will improve your revenue expansion. Your customers will keep coming back to see what's new and exciting. If a merchant's product offering is dead end, what do you think your potential with that merchant will be? Look for merchants that are dynamic and constantly expanding their product offerings.
3. Maximize your pay rate. The higher the pay rate, the less traffic you will need to meet your revenue goals. Programs that only offer a few pennies or a few dollars demand that you have tremendous activity to make any meaningful revenue. There is a wide range of pay rates among affiliate programs. Look for programs that offer a decent pay rate for the business you generate.
4. Only accept a clear pay structure. Any legitimate affiliate program should spell out exactly what you will receive for your effort. This seems basic enough, yet there are many programs that present very nebulous pay rates. Unless the merchant spells out exactly what you will receive for your efforts, avoid them.
5. Increase your revenue potential with two-tier programs. What if you refer another affiliate to the merchant? You've just helped grow the business of that merchant. Shouldn't you be paid for that? Being paid for helping grow the business of the merchant seems only fair. Two-tier programs reward you for both referring other affiliates to the merchant as well as end customers. Look for programs that will pay you for your affiliate referrals.
6. Seek programs that generate repeat business. With most affiliate programs you will be referring customers to the merchant site usually with a banner or a button. The problem is that customers will often bypass you and go directly to the merchant the next time they want to buy. The way to prevent this is to seek programs that give you your own site as part of the program. Then your customers will return to your site rather than the merchant the next time they want to buy.
7. Avoid merchants which will compete with you. If a merchant has an affiliate program, but also has brand recognition, the customer may try to go directly to the merchant. If the customer has a choice to either go through you or go straight to the merchant, which do you think they will choose? Fortunately, some affiliate programs demand that customers must come through an affiliate site. Look for merchants that will not compete with you.
8. Make sure the program has a good tracking system. Nowadays, it is reasonable to expect that your sales statistics will be readily available to you. Always confirm the tracking method of any program. If possible, look for programs that offer real time tracking 24 hours 7 days a week and that are accessible from the web.
9. Look for programs that offer marketing support. Amazingly, many affiliate programs have little or no marketing support. This is counter intuitive considering it is in the merchant's interest to help the affiliate succeed. Fortunately, some programs do offer marketing support. Look for programs that give you the most tools to succeed.
10. Choose a program with community support. Again, it is in the merchant's interest to foster support for their affiliates, yet many affiliate programs offer no community support. Community bulletin boards tend to foster information exchange between affiliates and usually offer news and expert advice. Look for programs that believe in providing community support.

Following these guidelines will dramatically improve the quality of the affiliate program that you choose. The more favorably a program stacks up against the criteria above, the more chances for success you have when you join.

Find Your Recession Niche – Increase Your Affiliate Marketing Sales In An Economic Recession

Upon browsing the internet i found this great post by chrisgoddard from Affilorama and i wanted to share this one to all of you especially this time of economic crisis. To me this is very good information for all of us who are working as affiliate marketers.

"Let's take a minute and think about how people act in a recession. We'll focus on consumers, as affiliate marketing is generally more aimed towards that end of the spectrum than at businesses, however as a side note there are also a lot of business opportunities at the moment which I may cover in a later post. People all over the world right now are experiencing:

• Unemployment or risk of unemployment
• Increased costs (gas, food, rent, etc.)
• Decreased confidence Increased uncertainty
• A tendency to save money “just in case”

People have less money to spend, and are worried about spending it. However, these factors may not be as bad as you think as they have led to very specific consumer behaviors.

For example:

1. Consumers are more likely to repair something they already own rather than purchase something new. Ask any mechanic about this; while the auto industry maybe struggling, the auto-repair industry has more work than they know what to do with.
2. People are finding it difficult to find work so are seeking advice as well as trying to up-skill.
3. Consumers are willing to pay for product that will end up saving them money overall. For example, selling printer cartridge refill kits instead of brand new cartridges could be far more popular right now.
4. Consumers are more likely to be staying at home in their leisure time rather than going out. This 'cocooning' often results in increased purchases for luxury household items as people try to make their homes as comfortable as possible.
5. People are fearful. Now, I'm really not a fan of exploiting people's emotions in marketing, however, with all the negativity in the media right now, there is a great deal of fear in the publics mind right now. If certain products can provide a feeling of comfort or security, then that is good for both buyer and sellers alike. Just don't use fear as a tool to sell whatever you can – try to sell people something that will actually help them.
6. Consumers are buying online. The ability to compare prices and get the best possible deal from the comfort of your own home is making online shopping the only part of the retail sector to experience growth in recent months. Also, people save money by not driving to stores and trends show that even people who visit physical stores are more likely to research their purchases online first.

How can all these trends help an affiliate marketer?

Obviously the increase in online shopping works to the advantage of anyone who is involved in ecommerce. The other trends though could be just as lucrative. So what could be your recession niche? Consider:

1. Employment: job listing sites, resume building products, training products, work-from-home products
2. Budgeting and Personal Finance: Personal finance software, budgeting advice, tax advice and filing, credit rating sites, debt reduction
3. Repair and Maintenance: Do-It-Yourself auto and home repair, discount parts and material
4. Security and Health: Personal security, home security, medical advice, health care and insurance, healthy living, fitness and diet
5. Entertainment and Home: DVD rental services, games, discount homeware/furniture, home electronics

Another thing to consider: just like you will find those with money buying up as much cheap property as they can when the prices are low (I recently heard of a Chinese firm organizing “property buying holidays” to the US for wealthy Chinese businessman to come over an buy up property at rock-bottom prices), if you have any extra money at the moment, this is the time to invest, invest, INVEST! This could be the time to expand your network of sites and domains and take advantage of the vicious competition that is going on, and you might find some valuable domains being sold off at great prices – domains that could be very profitable when the economy improves."

Do you have any idea that is good for you and the economy? Please share it here!

How To Earn Money With Team Building?

I would like to share with you this new amazing team building program that has been dominating in the internet since December 13, 2008 and until now. The Team Orangemoon... If you are looking for online success and no one else has helped you, then you have just found your answer .... the Team Orangemoon is ready to help you. No sponsoring required!

We are a 'Team Building' program. We are turning downline building on it's head by building the team first. Members are then sent the link to join a tried and tested downline builder program by us, and members can all join at the same time, earning profits for everyone! No more will you have to join a program, advertise and struggle to fill your downline. By being a member of Team Orangemoon you will earn profits as thousands of members join into the same downline.

How our team works?

Everybody on our 'Team Orangemoon' team receives a link of a tried and tested forced matrix, downline program! When we send this link there will be thousands of people in our team ready to sign up immediately!

By forced matrix means that when a level in a downline has been filled, new members spillover into the downlines of other members. ie: In a 3x10 forced matrix, once level #1 of the 3 new positions had been filled, all further referrals from the person at the top of the matrix would spill over into levels #2, #3 etc, filling all vacant spots.

The thousands of members of our team all join under the link and the spillover means that all members will fill all vacant spots in the matrix, earning profits as their downline fills under them with Team Orangemoon members.

We are committed to helping all Team Orangemoon members succeed and achieve profits.

We launch the same program through a variety of phases, therefore building up our member base before the next launch.

Once these phases have launched, our admin team will also begin major promotion of the program which puts even more spillover into the downline and profit for our Team Orangemoon members. With constant re-investment and promotion, the downline will continue to fill putting our members into profit on their purchased positions.

When we launch our next program, those members that signed up last into our previous team program will be sent the link first. That means thousands of members signing up under them earning them instant profits!

Our target is to MAKE SURE that every member of Team Orangemoon earns a profit, regardless of when they sign up into the new programs that we promote.

BRAND NEW - The Team OrangeMoon 'Pay It Forward' Fund.

We now have a fund that is available for those that need help with purchasing their first positions. As a team we will help everyone that joins Team OrangeMoon succeed!

As a team we will all succeed!

Join Us for Free As We Dominate Every Program We Join, Making Profits For Our Team Members Along The Way!"

How To Earn Money Online With CBMall

Are you familiar with Clickbank.com? It's an online marketplace where you can find over 10,000 ebooks and digital products on all kinds of topics. Naturally marketing is well covered, but there are also tons of books on weightloss, hobbies, casinos, parenting, pets, screensavers, and much more.

What about CBmall or Click Bank Mall? Well, CBmall is a slick little system, put together by Jeff Mulligan, that let's you easily browse through the Clickbank catalog. It includes a directory of the hottest Clickbank products and also let's you search for any Clickbank product.

Why not use Clickbank itself to find products? You certainly can and since they've recently added a search feature, after years of not having one, it's not as painful as it used to be. CBmall just makes it easier. And CBmall does a few things that Clickbank doesn't, such as give you 15 ways to earn extra money. Of course, you'll have to do put in some of your own effort to earn anything.

Here are some examples of how CBmall can help your bottom line:

• First things first, to use CBmall you have to sign up as a Clickbank affiliate here. It's 100% free and Clickbank sends very little, if any, email other than your receipt when you buy something.
  
  
• The beauty of the CBmall, over Clickbank, is this: The CBmall has taken the very best products in the ClickBank MarketPlace and gathered them into one, easy to navigate, automated, online shopping mall. Whenever you send a shopper to the mall, you get a commission on whatever they buy. And you don't have to do a thing to maintain your mall!
  
  
• The CBmall directory only displays the best of the Clickbank products, the one's that sell. The products are good and the sales letters for those products are good, so when you send traffic to those pages in your mall the chances of people buying are much greater.
  
  
• The How To section: Once you own your very own CBmall you will have access to a lot of free info on how to get people to come to your mall and buy.
  
  
• You may have heard that The Money is in the List? When people join your newsletter from your CBmall every link in that newsletter will have your CBmall ID, so you make the profits.
  
  
• 100% automated! You never have to touch one line of code, ever! You'll find that your new CBmall is 100% ready to go, no tweaking required. Just send traffic and the free materials that come with your mall will show you exactly how to do that.
  
  
• The Search Engine built into your copy of CBmall will actually search every product in the Clickbank catalog, even though only the best are shown in the CBmall directory. And no matter which product they buy you get the commission!
  
  
• 60 Days of Free Traffic! That's right, for 60 days after becoming an owner of your own CBmall you'll get free traffic to your CBmall. Go here and scroll down to point #15 for details (about 1/3 of the way down the page.)
  
  
• Other streams of income. CBmall lets you plug into the power of several other programs, such as SFI, which can add to your income. So your visitor has the chance to find valuable programs outside of just what is offered by Clickbank. And these programs will have your affiliate ID.
  
  
• Already have a website? With your CBmall you can get a code to place on your site which will put the CBmall search engine on your own pages.

The advantage to a program like CBmall is that you don't have to set up your website, you don't have to install scripts, and you don't have to get a domain name or do anything that doesn't involve directly driving traffic to your mall.

The thing that you have to add to the system is your own efforts to get traffic. If you just buy it and let it sit there you'll earn nothing. If you follow the tips in the How To guides that come with your mall then you should be able to get traffic to your mall.

Another point, which is covered in the materials you'll receive with your CBmall, is how to send people to specific pages within your mall. Just sending people to your CBmall home page will result in very few sales and you'll be unhappy with your results.

What you want to do is send people to particular pages, such as the auctions page, here. Or let them search for products from your own site. Again, CBmall comes with a ton of material which will teach you how to do just that.

It's perfect fo beginners - - - NO WEB SITE NEEDED AND ITS FREE.
