Affiliates are people or businesses who sell your product or services for a percentage of the profit. The affiliate program works well if you are selling anything electronic online, such as an e-book, because everything that you collect for the book is just about profit. Because an e-book is transferred electronically, it does not have printing costs or even distribution costs.
Affiliate marketing is one of the best ways to market your product online. When you use affiliate marketing, you can market any type of product, whether it is a special niche product or service or a mainstream product. Affiliate marketing entails that you give a percentage of the profit to the affiliate. The affiliate will put your product link on his or her website and perhaps write blurbs about the product. They may use SEO content in their website to attract potential customers to your website so that they can possibly sell your product.
One website where you can go online to find affiliate marketing partners is Clickbank. Clickbank has lists of affiliate partners who will be glad to market your product online You can advertise you niche internet product for free to the affiliates and offer an affiliation for the product to anyone on the site. Generally, the greater percentage that you offer them, the better your chances of being picked up by an affiliate.
The normal percentage to offer an affiliate for an e-book is 50 percent. If you offer more than that, you will have more success in gaining affiliates and thus have the potential to sell more products. If your product is unusual and in a niche market, you will have a greater opportunity about getting the word out about your product through affiliate programs. The internet is a vast place and it is impossible for you to reach all of it on your own, no matter how unique your product or service is. This is why you are better off to use affiliate marketing.
Keep in mind that the percentage given to the affiliate comes from your profit. If you have a tangible product, such as a gift basket for the terminally ill, you will want to give less of a profit to any affiliate as the 50 percent affiliate fee will greatly reduce your profits and may end up out pricing your gift baskets. The 50 percent affiliate fee is usually the rule of thumb for electronically transferred products, such as e-books, which cost the distributor nothing. When it comes to actual tangible products, you can offer as little as 10 percent or as much as 20 percent. If you have a truly unique product, affiliates will still clamor to ride on your gravy train.
This is not to say that affiliates just take and take - not true. They often offer a different perspective and advertising opportunity for you. They also take a lot of the burden in advertising your product from you. An affiliate program works well no matter what type of product or service you are offering as your internet business. It also allows your business to grow.
Take advantage of the affiliate programs that are available online on sites such as Clickbank. Keep in mind that you really have nothing to lose - an affiliate only gets paid if they sell the product.
