Affiliate Programs Read it or Weep

Affiliate Programs Read it or Weep

Many of the affiliates don't bother reading over the affiliate agreement before they signup. Please do me a favor and read over the affiliate agreement before you sign up. I know these agreements are boring to read, but some day you will be glad you did. Some affiliate agreements have an exclusivity clause meaning that you cannot sell similar products for another merchant while selling this merchant's products.

Not to long ago I researched affiliate program where the merchant was using the product terms of service as an affiliate agreement. This merchant might have good intentions in paying you but good intentions don't pay the bills.

Look For Community Support

Look For Community Support

Look for affiliate programs that offer you community support. It is in the merchant's best interest to help you succeed but very few affiliate programs offer you community support. A community forum tends to encourage information exchange between affiliates and usually offers news and expert advice.

Does the Merchant Plan to Expand its Product Line?

Does the Merchant Plan to Expand its Product Line?

When you are looking for a new affiliate program to market look for an affiliate program where the merchant is constantly adding new products to its product line.

This will increase your income potential plus your customers will keep coming back to see what's new and exciting.

When you decide to join an affiliate program where the merchant is constantly expanding its product line, make sure the merchant supplies you with a website.

If the merchant doesn't supply you with a website what will often happen is that the customer will often bypass you and go directly to the merchant the next time they want to buy something.
