A Unique Opportunity For Affiliate Recruiters
Success with Affiliate Marketing, or Internet Marketing in general, depends on a lot of factors; the product
you decide to promote, the type of advertising you use, the size of your advertising budget, etc. One product
in particular has been around since the dawn of the World Wide Web. It has in the past, and still is making
small fortunes for many Internet Marketers. The product I am refering to is information. Throughout this site
you will find an abundance of information on affiliate programs, marketing, website building, advertising and
so much more. Enjoy!
If you're a webmaster, web publisher, or web merchant, chances are you have already come across the concept of affiliate marketing.
As online joint venture partnerships, affiliate programs allows both content publishers and web merchants to maximize their online profits by working with each other.
Content publishers, including webmasters, ezine writers and forum
owners, are able to focus their energies and resources on what they
know best...creating great content to attract web visitors.
affiliate
merchants on the other hand, are able to focus their efforts on
creating great products, receiving online payments, and getting their
products to customers.
The success of affiliate marketing has resulted in an unfortunate problem:
Because they are so popular, there are now so many affiliate merchants fighting for affiliates that it has become hard for them to differentiate themselves from each other and to attract good affiliates.
Put another way, while affiliates can help merchants solve the problem of finding customers, merchants are now facing the problem of having to first find good affiliates!
This has given rise to some innovative merchants setting up affiliate programs that pay affiliate commissions to multiple tiers of affiliates, the most popular being 2 tier affiliate programs.
What this does is to create a unique opportunity for "Affiliate
Recruiters" who join multi tier affiliate programs to serve a slightly
different function.
These affiliate recruiters, often owners of websites, ezines, and
forums that attract other webmasters, focus their energies recruiting
other webmasters to sign up as their "sub-affiliates" and to sell the affiliate products.
As a result, when affiliate products are sold by their sub-affiliates, these affiliate recruiters will also get paid a referral commission.
Two important points to understand are:
1) The affiliate programs must be free to join...no "sign-up" fees,
"set-up" costs, nor "product-testing" fees are involved...otherwise
they become traditional multi level marketing programs, and run the
risk of affiliates trying to make money by "pushing products" to other affiliates.
2) While these programs create a new role for "affiliate recruiters" who can make money by specializing in recruiting affiliates,
the products will still have to actually be sold to real customers for
the merchant, affiliate recruiter, and affiliate to make any money.
If you are currently an affiliate merchant having problems recruiting good affiliates, why not consider using a multi tier affiliate program and let "affiliate recruiters" do this work for you?
If you happen to run a webmaster related site, or happen to know many webmasters or successful affiliates, why not consider being an "affiliate recruiter" by recommending multi tier affiliate programs?
