Grow Your Business and Profits Exponentially!

"By 2002, 25 percent of the expected $37.5 billion in Internet retail sales, not including autos, will have originated on affiliate sites."

-- Nicole Vanderbilt, Jupiter Communications

Affiliate programs are the sales channels of the Internet. High traffic, and even smaller sites have loyal visitors, an established customer base, periodic newsletter, or other means of reaching potential customers. Sales "territories" on the Internet have become based on topics of special interest, instead of geographic location.

Experienced marketers understand the value of sales channels. Affiliate programs (also called associate programs, reseller programs, revenue sharing programs, or per inquiry, per clickthrough, bounty, or per sale commissions), are a referral-based marketing strategy, where you increase your website's traffic and sales by paying other website owners a small commission for a referral for one of their visitors that results in a sale of your product or service.

Affiliate programs have been popularized by Amazon.com, which boasts affiliates numbering in the tens of thousands of websites that generate millions of hits and millions of dollars in sales each month. Imagine having 10,000 affiliates generate only one sale for you per month!

There are two types of affilitate programs:

• Single Tier - Participating websites earn commissions only when a sale is generated by one of their referrals.

• Two Tier - Participating websites earn commissions by referring visitors that result in sales. They also have the opportunity enlist other websites as "sub-affiliates", and earn commissions on sales generated from visitors they refer.

With a two-tier" Affiliate Program, Your Affiliate Members have a direct incentive to help your Affiliate Member Network grow, and traffic and sales also grow exponentially in relationship. However, there are other factors to be considered. Deciding on which type of program is right for you is a decision to be made based on your business positioning, objectives, resources, and budget.

There are numerous benefits to be gained by offering an affiliate program to targeted websites:

• Build A Powerful and Effective Sales Network- With your Affiliate Program Marketing Strategy, you're building a Network of websites referring qualified buyers to your site. Your "Affiliate Members" have a direct incentive to make sales for you!

• Get Cost-Effective Advertising - With NO Upfront Costs for advertising on your Affiliate Members' websites, you are advertising with NO RISK! You pay a small percentage only after you have made money. You only pay for results. Compared to traditional CPM models and other online marketing options, Affiliate Program Marketing is a highly profitable and very smart marketing strategy. Because your Affiliate Members know they get paid when they refer SALES to your business, your banner is likely to more prominently and more frequently.

• Build Profitable Relationships - Everyone knows that developing relationships is the key to success with Internet Marketing. Affiliate Programs foster highly profitable long-term relationships with both Affiliate Members and customers alike.
