Its hard to have a discussion about affiliate programs without mentioning . They are considered to be the pioneers of affiliate programs. And with over 300 Tim Williams Jersey ,000 affiliates, its hard to argue that point.
But affiliate programs are changing. Many, many companies are realizing that the best way to sell products and services on the Internet is to recruit affiliates. Along with this comes a form of competition. Affiliate program managers want you to sell their products, not the products of their competitors. How do they make sure that you stick with them and not defect to the other side? They do their best to make their program more attractive to you.
There are many ways to make a program more attractive to potential affiliates. They can offer a higher percentage of the profits, andor they can offer more benefits. Benefits can come in many forms, but the topic of this discussion will be the benefits that come from the way sales and visitors are tracked.
Let's bring back into the limelight for a minute. They are yone knows about yone knows that you can create a site Chris Wormley Jersey , add some good content, bring in a highly targeted audience, and sell them books! Simple te a site with a good topic, drive traffic to it, send them to Amazon, and get rich. been tried guess that many of those 300 Tyus Bowser Jersey ,000 affiliates even earn enough to get the minimum $25 check in the mail every quarter.
Why? Is it because you have 299,999 competitors out there selling books just like you are? I'm sure that plays a part, but the real reason is the way you are credited for a sale. You work hard to create a website full of content, and work even harder to promote it and bring visitors to your site. Then, what do you do with that coveted visitor? You wisk them off to Amazon to become their life-long customer, and never to return to your site again!
That may not seem fair to you Jaleel Scott Jersey , but can you complain? They give you a whopping 5% of the sale, maybe even 15% on some of the books if you are lucky. Or, worse yet, they bookmark , and go back to buy the books tomorrow and you don't even get the 5%. Either way they are gone. That precious visitor that could have been a life-long customer of yours is now off to . They will buy a book or two to test out the process. Then after their books arrive, they will merrily open up their browser and type in and spend their entire paycheck buying books.
How much do you get from this return visit? Well Kenny Young Jersey , it WAS your visitor after all, right? Unfortunately every penny of that visitor's paycheck will fall into Amazon's pocket. Of course you have to feel sorry for Amazon, though. They aren't making any money after all (violin music playing in the background).
What happened? The same that happens with many affiliate programs. You get paid per click, per lead, or per sale. From that point on, they own that customer.
But I'm happy to report that times are changing! Companies are starting to look for better ways to compensate their affiliates for referring customers to them.
Don't get me wrong Anthony Averett Jersey , I'm not condemning affiliate entire site is dedicated to the topic. I just want you to know that some companies are starting to look at new methods of rewarding you for sending them customers. After all, you are a salesman for them. How many brick-and-mortar companies do you know of that will have a salesperson make a sale, pay them their commission, and then never pay them another cent for future business from that same customer?
Why should the Internet be any different? It shouldn' program administrators are finally figuring that out.
There are many companies that will track the visitor that came from your site, and credit you for the sale even if they don't purchase something until the next day, or week Orlando Brown Jr. Jersey , or month. Others will make that visitor your lifetime customer. If they come back two years later and buy something, you will get a commission for that.
A good example of this is Ken Evoy's 5 Pillar Affiliate Program. If you sell one of your visitors a copy of his book: "Make Your Site Sell!"( ), you will not only get a commission for that sale, you will also get a percentage of all future sales from that customer, no matter what product or service they purchase.
A new idea being offered by companies such as Vstore ( ), is to allow your visitors to buy products without ever leaving your site. This means that the visitor has the time to spend on YOUR site Maxx Williams Jersey , and get to know what excellent content you have to offer, and to hopefully return to YOUR site for future purchases. wholesalenflshop.com/]Cheap NFL Jerseys Free Shipping[/url] Cheap Jerseys Wholesale
