How To Launch Your Own Successful Affiliate Program

How To Launch Your Own Successful Affiliate Program


The key to true success online is in setting up your own successful affiliate program. Using affiliate programs as traffic boosters is not a new idea. The new thought is putting special focus on turning existing customers into successful affiliates. With this you will integrate affiliate sign-up into your sales funnel.

The first thing that must be done is to repeat the fundamental steps used in creating an offer. In order to launch your first product you are going to need the following:

- A sales page product
- A new domain name just for the specific product
- Another opt-in page you can use to capture leads for follow-ups on that product
- Payment processing
- A separate opt-in list within your auto responder account for the specific product.

For payment processing, I recommend most newcomers start out with Clickbank. It is very easy to sign up. Clickbank will charge you a one-time fee to get your page up. Also, Clickbank has a ready-made affiliate program that is automatically associated with your product once the account has been created. This is extremely important, because you want to make it as easy as you can to turn your customers into successful affiliates.

An important point that you will want to emphasize in your sales literature is the great business opportunity customers will have in promoting your product as an affiliate. You should try and make this appear as part of the product itself. Remember you are selling more than just one product. You should have mid-level and back-end products integrated into your sales funnel. This gives not only you but affiliates the ability to earn income on all three levels. Anyone who is interested in your products will also likely be interested in promoting your products for a profit.

You are going to need to create incentive by paying commissions on all levels. You will also want to entice people by paying higher than average commissions. Remeber the key here, there is no reason to be greedy, when an affiliate makes a sale you make a sale too…

The other key to remember is creating a strong sales letter. If you are not good at writing sales letters, hire someone to do it for you. You can also copy elements from sales letters you have read that made you want to buy. Make sure your sales letter has all the components of solid copywriting involved
- A killer headline
- Focus on features and benefits
- Great graphics
- Focus on the customer
- Bonuses with an estimated value
- Powerful closing offer and guarantee

You will want to make sure that you follow up with your affiliates. Keep the in your loop and abreast to any new offers or changes in the current product. Remember their success is your success!
