Make Money a Priority!
Becoming an Affiliate Marketer is easy. Doing it correctly to generate maximum commissions is simple too. So why do so many fail as online affiliate marketers? They struggle to succeed because they don't know the clever techniques used by the "big gurus". The waiting is over. It's now time to reveal to the world the secret strategies of the affiliate marketing elite.
Affiliate marketing is a simple concept based on someone (the affiliate) promoting someone else's product in return for a commission for any sales they generate. A two tier affiliate program takes the process a stage further to generate even more commissions.
Here's an example. Let's say you found a site selling golf equipment that had a two tier affiliate program. If you signed up, you could promote those products and earn, say, 50% commission for every sale that you made - first tier. You could hen go and recruit second tier affiliates. These would be people who either have a large email list or a website related to the golf niche you are promoting. If they promoted, you would get a percentage of their sale too, which could be around 10% for example.
But how do you actually go about implementing this strategy successfully? Below are my top four secret strategies to maximize your chances of success as a two tier affiliate marketer / virtual property broker.
One. The best sites to broker for are ones that:
1) Pay at least $10 for each sale your second tier (or sub) affiliate makes. (American sites tend to offer more favourable commissions). With a $10 commission rate you could make some serious cash brokering deals with people who have lists of 1000 upwards.
2) Have a "cookie" tracking system for their affiliate program. That maximizes the chance of you getting your commission whether your sub affiliates signs up the first time they visit the site you are brokering for, or the twentieth time.
3) Provide ready made marketing materials. This means you can take their promotion email and send it to your sub affiliates. All they have to then do is sign up to the program copy and past the ready made email promotion into their email broadcasting softward and hit send. This is the clincher as it makes it quick easy and free for your sub affiliates to make money.
Two: Finding Sites to Broker For
Initially you should broker for sites that you're interested in. The more motivated you are the quicker the cash will come in. (if you're stuck for ideas visit http://www.clickbank.com and search in "promote products" and "marketplace". Please note ClickBank does not have two tier affiliate programs).
Now it's just a question of finding a site related to your market. Go to Google and type in "(niche) two tier affiliate program". Then search through the results and find a site with a two tier affiliate program that matches the criteria above. Sign up, get your affiliate link, then it's time to move on.
Three: Finding Marketers to Contact
There are a few simple ways to find more potential deals to broker than you could ever have the time to do so. The best tactic is to find people with ready made email lists of people you know have an interest in the product you are brokering for. Then, one email could potentially make thousands.
Go to Google again and type in "(niche) ezine" or "(niche) eletter". For example, type in "weight loss ezine" and hit Google search. You'll see thousands of results. Now obviously not every single one of these will be a site with a weight loss ezine (or e-letter) but thousands if not tens of thousands will. Then it's just a case of visiting the site, finding the "contact us" page and sending them an email.
Four: Contacting Marketers
Next you need to send out single emails (strictly no spam). It's one email for one site owner and that's it. As this is a business proposition it is not sen as a spam. However, sending out one email to hundreds would be, plus you won't get anyone promoting for you anyway doing it that way.
Your email should be less than 500 words as people are busy and don't want to wade through stranger's waffle. It should include:
1) The name of the website where you found information about the ezine.
2) The name of the ezine owner.
3) An explanation that by simply sending out an email or adding a graphic to their site they can make money. Also explain there are marketing materials already provided so their work is minimal.
4) Instructions for them to simply click on your link in the email and sign up to the affiliate program and then they're all set to make some more cash.
And that's it. Go through the list of sites with an ezine related to yours and send them an email. Keep track of who you are contacting and occasionally log into the two tier site you are brokering for and see how much money you've made.
Finally we're all on a level playing field. Both the experienced and the newbie's have got an equal chance of success because for once reputation, marketing knowledge or financial clout doesn't matter. Not only that, but you don't even need your own website or product!
