How To Setup The Ultimate Affiliate Programme

It's no secret, affiliate programs are a great way to increase profits. But they don't just happen on their own. Here's how to set up the perfect affiliate program.

1) Decide Which Affiliate Platform You Will Use: We recommend Clickbank or PayDotCom for our clients with a higher budget, but other good choices are Amazon Associates, CommissionJunction, Google Adwords Affiliates and Rakuten Marketing Onsite Ads.

2) Decide How You Want To Structure Your Non-Exclusive Program: This will depend on the type of product you are selling and the amount of time you want it running for. The more people interested in the product, the longer you will want to run your affiliate platform.

3) Decide What Reward You Want: We recommend a $1 for new affiliates and then an increase every 10th reward for continued affiliates. That way you won't lose anyone but also can still get in on the newest products or services, and it also helps with participation.

4) Set up Your Affiliate Information: This is what you will send to customers when they pay for the product or service after clicking on your affiliate link. A link that says "this affiliate link will get you this product" or "click here if you would like to learn more about [product name]" is much more valuable than a link saying "get this product now".

5) Setup Your Sponsor Programs: This is what you will send to affiliates that refer people to your website. We recommend paying affiliates for every person they bring in, but the amount of money depends on a few factors. How far your program has progressed and their sales record are most important. If it's a new account, we recommend paying them $150 per referral.
