Provide Better Payouts<\/strong><\/p>\nAffiliates are primarily motivated by money. They want to maximize the amount of money they make from the traffic they send to affiliate offers.<\/p>\n
Look at what your competitors are offering to affiliates. Can you offer more? If your competitors are all offering 50% commissions, can you offer 51% or even 60%?<\/p>\n
Or if your competitors\u2019 offers are converting at an average of 1%, can you get your offer to convert at 1.2% — giving your affiliates a 20% increase in commissions over and above similar offers?<\/p>\n
Provide Better Creative<\/strong><\/p>\n Affiliates are just like you and me: They want to make as much money as possible with as little effort as possible.<\/p>\n You can capitalize on this by providing your affiliates with better ad creative and promotional material than your competitors.<\/p>\n Provide more banners… more pre-written promotional emails… more ideas for how they can easily generate commissions by promoting your products.<\/p>\n Provide Commission Payments on Time<\/strong><\/p>\n This should go without saying — but it needs to be said: You should always pay your affiliates on time according to the terms of your affiliate marketing<\/a> program.<\/p>\n Affiliates notice which programs pay on time and which ones don\u2019t. In fact, there\u2019s a Facebook group with over 1,000 members that is dedicated to exposing programs that don\u2019t pay.<\/p>\n Those affiliate marketing programs that manage money well and pay affiliates on time are the ones that will succeed for the long-haul. Make sure you\u2019re included in this group.<\/p>\n -Ryan Healy<\/p>\n
