Hmmm. Selling products online you are? Or possibly considering it?
Well then, ANSWER ME THIS NOW! (yes, and I DO mean put the coffee cup down NOW).
Are you….thinking…about giving your affiliates an undeniable reason to promote said products?
If so, you're in the right place right now because I'm going to tell you EXACTLY what I did to thrill my affiliates…and how you can do it too.
You're probably aware that one of the biggest concerns affiliates have is actually getting their hands on their commissions. It makes sense, right?
After all, after putting in major effort to compel their network to buy, they want to enjoy the benefits of all their hard work, preferably sooner than the cows come home.
Now, of course, you can use Clickbank for this…and totally forget about any ideas regarding payment (as CB does it all for you every two weeks (minus their fees, of course)). And if you're a newbie to online marketing, that certainly can be the undefinable way to go.
But what if you want to give your affiliates INSTANT commissions? We're talking INSTANT like:
- If you offer 100% commission so you can build your own list, they get paid 100% of the sales
- If you offer 50% commission, they get paid 100% of 50% of the sales (effectively getting a 50% commission)
Not only that…but your affiliates receive their money INSTANTLY via their Paypal account!
This is called a
OMG it's a freakin' WINdelightful win-win scenario that will both thrill your affiliates AND give them a fantastic incentive to promote your products bigtime.
The product that allows you to do this is
I just set it up successfully over at my product, Expert Groundwork.
The affiliate program is at barbaraling.com/resource-EG/index.php?action=affsignup
All people have to do to become an affiliate is sign up and promote the link with their Paypal address….and that's IT.
One thing I personally like about Rapid Action Profits (RAP) is the sales page template they offer (it's really superb!).
In essence, it makes you THINK about how you want to structure your sales copy (and gives you nifty suggestions as well)
I can definitely recommend RAP if you're interested in paying your affiliates in real time!
Couple of things to remember regarding your affiliates, of course.
1.) Give them affiliate tools!
RAP makes it easy to showcase a central affiliate login, plus offer all the graphics, email copy, Adwords ideas etc.
The easier you make it to market your products for your affiliates, the better success they'll enjoy. And that means…the more money BOTH of you will make.
2.) Offer free review copies for key affiliates
I've sent off several complimentary copies of Expert Groundwork to those folk whom either I:
- Value as a friend/colleague
- Have seen has promoted my products in the past
- Has helped me out in the past
What goes around, comes around….and the piddling amount you'd make from demanding a single sale pales next to the benefits you'll receive when you go out of your way for your affiliates.
3.) Provide them with special coupons they can offer THEIR lists
RAP allows you to set coupons for your products as well. These you can offer to your affiliates so they can give their network an even greater incentive to buy.
In closing, making money via other people selling YOUR products is a Good Thing indeed! RAP makes it that much easier…..do yourself a favor and check it out today.
Your future bottom line will thank you for it.
Enjoy,
