AN AFFILIATE
Here's the good news, you can boost your sales quite considerably by sharing your profits with someone else. This is called becoming an affiliate and is only possible thanks to the internet.
The process itself couldn't be simpler, but I'll talk about that further down. Right now here is what you need to know.
An affiliate consists of someone selling a product for you and keeping a percentage of that sale. This can be an incredible fountain of income as it means you don't have to advertise or worry about that side of things.
Whoever has become affiliated to you will have to make the sale if he/she wants to make money (and you'd be surprised how resourceful people are).
Some might think this is unfair but not really. After all, you were the one who had the trouble to develop the product to begin with.
Setting up an affiliate couldn't be simpler. The main thing you will want to decide is how much of the sale you will give to your affiliate.
Let me explain. An affiliate program will get you more sales, reputation and exposure than any paid advertising could ever bring you. It basically is free advertising and promotion.
This consists of another website owner promoting your products on his/her website and keeping a pre-determined percentage of the "cake".
Normally, your affiliate already has purchased from you and knows perfectly well how good your products are.
The only affiliate program I recommend is the revenue sharing method. There is also a pay-per-click method but this is pretty much flawed and means you'll be paying your affiliate for the amount of visitors he/she attracts regardless if you make the sale or not. I only recommend you go for this sort of affiliate program if you are the one generating the clicks and getting the revenue.
As a result I recommend the revenue sharing method as this means only real money will be used. This way you only pay for real results.
If you have joined my affiliate program then you must have seen the information I give to my affiliate members.

The best ways to promote an affiliate link are:
-
classified ads - you can easily promote your affiliate link through classified ads on the internet or newspapers.
If you're going to use classified ads to promote your affiliate link then you might want to consider signing up for a separate email box dedicated to this purpose. This will prevent the disruption of your personal or work email. If this interests you then you should go to Zwallet and sign up for a Free 50 Megabyte account. This email account will also generate revenue for reading email.
-
>website - if you have a website you can direct traffic to your affiliate link and generate an extra income.
-
promoting with an ezine or newsletter - by investing in a solo ad on a newsletter you can easily create an interesting revenue for yourself and achieve impressive earnings.
>A solo ad to a big newsletter (10,000+ subscribers) will generally cost you around $50-$140.
If 1% of those subscribers click on your affiliate link and buy this course, since you're making an absolute minimum of $15 per sale, that'll make you $1500. Make sure you get the right audience.
-
promoting by means of email signature - you can increase your visibility by including a signature on every email you send or on posting a valuable message to a forum you're a member of. An example of an email signature is shown below.
Sincerely,

You should give your affiliate members plenty of information to get them started as soon as possible.
After you have your affiliate program up and running, you should visit Associate Programs where you can submit your affiliate program for other people to join.
You'll find that submitting your affiliate program is one of the easiest ways of getting started online.
