INSPIRED TO MOTIVATE- JULY 2013
Who is the online retailer? Find out whom you are doing business with to know if it is really a solid company. Know the products they are selling and the average amount they are achieving. The more you know about the retailer offering you the affiliate program, the easier it will be for you to know if that program is really for you and your site.
Is the affiliate a one tier or two tier program? A single tier program pays you only for the business that you have generated. A two tier program pays you for the business, plus it also pays you a commission on the sales generated by any affiliate you sponsor in your program. Some two tier programs are even paying small fees on each new affiliate you sponsor. More like a recruitment fee.
Lastly, what is the amount of commission paid? 5 %-20% is the commission paid by most programs.. 01 %-. 05 % is the amount paid for each hit. If you find a program that also pays for impressions, the amount paid is not much at all but as you can see from these stats, you will now understand why the average sales amount and hit to sale ratio is important.
These are just some of the questions that need to be answered before you enter into an affiliate program. You should be familiar with the many important aspects that your chosen program should have before incorporating them into your website. Try to ask your affiliate program choice these questions. These can help you select the right program for your site from among the many available.
