Setting up a Affiliate Marketing Program Day 1
By Gmoney | May 6, 2008
I work for a Real Estate Marketing/Training company here in San Antonio and I have been tasked with heading up the development of a Affiliate Direct Sales Channel.
We have the products and we are going to work on getting this products spread all of the web. So in the spirit of open source information being able to be found online I am going to document building this program from the ground up!!!!!
So to start there are several things that I know right off the back that I am going to need to even think about starting this project.
1. Products - Currently we have about 4 products with about 10 in the wings.
2. Content - Because we have products we have content.
3. A great sales letter - The CEO is a outstanding writer and is currently working on a sales letters.
4. Good Resources - over the next month of to I will document all of my resources that I will be using. StartUpNation has already proven to be a great place to find information and inspiration. Here is the first link that I found on affiliate marketing. StartupNation.com Affiliate Marketing Article
5. A plan - We are currently working on a plan. Right now looks like we will launch with about 10 sites with a training portal. All we are going to do is mirror what is successful online. This is not rocket science but there is a method to the madness.
6. Tracking - You have to have a good plan for tracking sales and paying affiliates. This component might be deemed as the most important part of the equation.
7. Relationship Building - Keepings your Affiliates happy is job one. They have to know who you are, what you have to offer and why they should sale your products.
8. Online Swag - what do you have for your Affiliates to promote with? Online streaming videos, banners, buttons, 3d boxes and books?
