marketing
Take the advantage of the tremendous opportunity offered by the affiliate
programs. Most major companies that run on the internet are either part of
an affiliate program or have launched their own.
Basically, if
you launch yourself into affiliate marketing by joining a major affiliate
program, you don't have to do much of the advertising work. Your
affiliates will do it for you! It's a win-win situation, where the
affiliate will have the interest to get you more visitors, more sales in
order to cash in the commissions.
Affiliate
marketing resources
Affiliate Window (UK),
Commission Junction (USA),
Dark Blue (Australia),
LinkShare (USA),
Share A Sale (USA) are among the
most popular affiliate programs.
Joining
affiliate programs as merchant can cost you: first, they usually charge a
fee for opening an account, then you'll pay commissions to them from each
sale that is generated to you by the advertisers (affiliates).
Affiliate
Window, LinkShare are among the most reputable affiliate programs. They
also have many members. (The more popular a program is, the more it is
worth for you to join them, as you will find more affiliates to advertise
your products/services).
Commission
Junction is a major US affiliate program, was among the first affiliate
programs launched online. Has a large number of members and a bad
reputation in its relation with clients. Commission Junction is known for
"kicking out" its affiliates for unspecified reasons, as they "reserve
themselves the right" to erase accounts whenever they want, without any
prior of further notice. Many affiliates complain of unfair treatment by
Commission Junction (unexplained account terminations by confiscation of
account commissions earned).
Dark Blue is an
Australian affiliate program. But your business doesn't have to be located
in Australia in order to join them.
Their interface
is easy to use, but have very few clients in comparison with LinkShare,
Affiliate window.
Share A Sale is
a US affiliate program with high popularity, many members, but their
communication with their clients/partners could be more efficient (same
problem as with Linkshare: no replies on e-mails, etc).
It's up to your
which you'd join. Keep in mind the tremendous benefits of affiliate
marketing! It's one of the easiest ways to get your business "heard" on
the internet. Generate sales, clicks or leads easily.
