What Kinds of Affliate are Available


What are the kinds of affiliate stats available? Your choice of affiliate program
should be capable of offering detailed stats. They should be available online anytime you decide to check them out. Constantly checking your individual stats is important to know how many impressions, hits and sales are already generated from your site. Impressions
are the number of times the banner or text link was viewed by a visitor of your site. A hit is the one clicking on the banner or text links.
Does the affiliate program also pay for the hits and impressions besides the
commissions on sales? It is important that impressions and hits are also paid, as this will add to the earnings you get from the sales commission. This is especially important if the program you are in offers low sales to be able to hit ratio.
Who is the online retailer? Find out whom you are doing business with to know if it isreally a solid company. Know the products they are selling and the average amount they are achieving. The more you know about the retailer offering you the affiliate program,the easier it will be for you to know if that program is really for you and your site. Is the affiliate a one tier or two tier program? A single tier program pays you only for the business you yourself have generated. A two tier program pays you for the
business, plus it also pays you a commission on the on the sales generated by any
affiliate you sponsor in your program. Some two-tier programs are even paying small fees on each new affiliate you sponsor. More like a recruitment fee.
Lastly, what is the amount of commission paid? 20% - 80% (and some cases,
100%!) is the commission paid by most programs. .01% - .05% is the amount paid for
each hit. If you find a program that also pays for impressions, the amount paid is not much at all. As you can see from the figures, you will now understand why the average sales amount and hit to sale ratio is important.

Affiliate Programs


Ask questions first before you join an affiliate program. Do a little research about the choices of program that you intend to join into. Get some answers because they will bethe deciding point of what you will be achieving later on.
Will it cost you anything to join? Most affiliate programs being offered today are
absolutely free of charge. So why settle for those that charge you some dollars before joining.
When do they issue the commission checks? Every program is different. Some issue
their checks once a month, every quarter, etc. Select the one that is suited to your
payment time choice. Many affiliate programs are setting a minimum earned commission
amount that an affiliate must meet or exceed in order for their checks to be issued.
What is the hit per sale ratio? This is the average number of hits to a banner or text link it takes to generate a sale based on all affiliate statistics. This factor is extremely important because this will tell you how much traffic you must generate before you can earn a commission from the sale.
How are referrals from an affiliate’s site tracked and for how long do they
remain in the system? You need to be confident on the program enough to track those
people you refer from your site. This is the only way that you can credit for a sale. The period of time that those people stay in the system is also important. This is becausesome visitors do not buy initially but may want to return later to make the purchase.
Know if you will still get credit for the sale if it is done some months from a certain day.

Saint Patrick's Day


Well I heard a interesting story about the four leaf clover that I would like to share.
First of apparently in Ireland there is no such thing as a four leaf clover, that the true clover only has three leaves.
In north America we have a four leaf clover which is not a clover at all.
The four leaf clover of course is to bring you good luck if found.
In St. patrick's day the three leave clover was a reminder of the Trinity The Father,The Son and The Holy Ghost. Being all as one as the clover is with its three leaves.
Today the Trinity is mentioned as The father ,The Son, and The Holy Spirit
Well all I can say is Enjoy the parade and all the other green festivities.
Happy St Patrick's.

The Right Web Host For Your Business


Over the past years, web hosting has grown bigger than it used to be. With more
companies getting into this business and finding the many benefits it can give them, the demand for web hosting has never been higher. These seem to be the trend of today.38 million people have put up their very first websites online this year 2005 alone. It is estimated that by 2008, the Internet sales industry will top the dollar bank. And to think,majority of those sites will be offering different affiliate programs for people to choose and participate into.
This only means one thing. It is easier now to find the right web host for your application.
The possibility of quality web hosting companies separating themselves from the rest ofthe industry is anticipated. If this is done, the unprofessional and incompetent ones willsuffer.
Support will be the number one consideration for people when choosing a web host. It
will be obvious that traditional advertising will become less and less effective. Most people would rather opt for the web host based on things that they see and hear. Also based on the recommendations by those who have tried them and have proved to be a successful.
This is a great opportunity for web hosting affiliates and resellers alike. There would hundreds of web hosting and programs to choose from that the difficulty in finding the right one for them is not a problem anymore.
How does one become a successful affiliate in the niche markets using web hosting?
If you think about it, everyone who needs a website needs a web hosting company to
host it for them. As of now, there is really no leading hosting industry so most people choose hosts based from recommendations. Usually, they get it from the ones that have already availed of a web hosting services.
With the many hosts offering affiliate programs, there is the tendency to find the one which you think will work best for you. Think of the product you will be promoting.
Pattern them to the site and see if they are catering to the same things as you are.
When you have been with one host for quite some time and seem not to be making
much despite all your effort, leave that one and look for another. There is no use in
trying to stick to one when you would be before off in another one. Things will only have to get better from there because you already have been in worst situations.
Try this out. If you are quite happy and satisfied with your web host, try to see if they are offering an affiliate program you can participate on. Instead of you paying them, why not make it the other way around; them paying you. The process can be as easy as putting a small “powered by” or “hosted by” link at the bottom of your page and you are already in an affiliate business.
Why choose paying for your for your web hosting when you do not have to? Try to get
paid by letting people know you like your web host.

What a New Affiliate Needs to Know


2. Offer free reports to your readers.
If possible position them at the very top side of your page so it they simply cannot be
missed. Try to create autoresponder messages that will be mailed to those who input
their personal information into your sign up box. According to research, a sale is closed
usually on the seventh contact with a prospect.
Only two things can possibly happen with the web page alone: closed sale or the
prospect leaving the page and never return again. By placing useful information into their
inboxes at certain specified period, you will remind them of the product they thought they
want later and will find out that the sale is closed. Be sure that the content is directed
toward specific reasons to buy the product. Do not make it sound like a sales pitch.
Focus on important points like how your product can make life and things easier and
more enjoyable. Include compelling subject lines in the email. As much as possible, avoid
using the word “free” because there are still older spam filters that dumps those kind of
contents into the junk before even anyone reading them first. Convince those who signed
up for your free reports that they will be missing something big if they do not avail of
your products and services.
3. Get the kind of traffic that is targeted to your product.
Just think, if the person who visited your website has no interest whatsoever in what you
are offering, they will be among those who move on and never come back. Write articles
for publication in e-zines and e-reports. This way you can locate publications that are focusing on your target customers and what you have put up might just grab their
interest.
Try to write a minimum of 2 articles per week, with at least 300-600 words in length. By continuously writing and maintaining these articles you can generate as many as 100 targeted readers to your site in a day.
Always remember that only 1 out of 100 people are likely to buy your product or get your services. If you can generate as much as 1,000 targeted hits for your website in a day,that means you can made 10 sales based on the average statistic.
The tactics given above does not really sound very difficult to do, if you think about it. Itjust requires a little time and an action plan on your part.
Try to use these tips for several affiliate marketing programs. You can end maintaining a good source of income and surviving in this business that not all marketers can do.
Besides, think of the huge paychecks you will be receiving!

There Are Many Horror Stories


There are many horror stories about affiliate programs and networks. People have heard them over and over again, that some are even wary of joining one. The stories they may Have heard are those related to illegal programs or pyramid schemes. Basically, this kind of market does not have real, worthy product.
You do not want to be associated with these schemes. It is obvious you want to be with a program that offers high quality product that you will readily endorse. The growing number of those who have joined already and are succeeding immensely is proof enough that there are reliable and quality affiliate programs out there.
Why participate in an affiliate program?
It allows you to work part-time. It gives you the opportunity to build a generous residual income. And it makes you an owner of a small business. Affiliate programs have already created lots of millionaires. They are the living testimony of how hard work; continuous prospecting, motivating and training others pay off.
If ever you are deciding to join one, you must take note that you are getting into
something that is patterned to what you are capable of. This will be an assurance that you are capable of doing anything to come out successful.
How do you choose a good affiliate program to promote? Here are some tips you may
want to look over before choosing one:
1. A program that you like and have interest in.
One of the best ways of knowing if that is the kind of program you wish to promote is if you are interested in purchasing the product yourself. If that is the case, chances are,there are many others who are also interested in the same program and products.
2. Look for a program that is of high quality.
For instance, look for one that is associated with many experts in that particular industry.
This way, you are assured that of the standard of the program you will be joining into.
3. Join in the ones that offer real and viable products.
How do you know this? Do some initial research. If possible, track down some of the
members and customers to give you testimonial on the credibility of the program.
4. The program that is catering to a growing target market.
This will ensure you that there will be more and continuous demands for your referrals.Make inquiries. There are forums and discussions you can participate in to get good and reliable feedbacks.
5. A program with a compensation plan that pays out a residual income and a
payout of 40% or more would be a great choice.
There are some programs offering this kind of compensation. Look closely for one. Do
not waste your time with programs that do not reward substantially for your efforts.
6. Be aware of the minimum quotas that you must fulfill or sales target that is
too hard to achieve.
Some affiliate programs imposes pre-requisites before you get your commissions. Just be sure that you are capable of attaining their requirements.
7. Select one that has plenty of tools and resources that can help you grow the
business in the shortest possible time.
Not all affiliate programs have these capacities. Make use you decide on one with lots of helpful tools you can use.
8. Check out if the program has a proven system that can allow you to check
your networks and compensation.
Also check if they have it available online for you to check anytime and anywhere.
9. The program that is offering strong incentives for members to renew their
membership each time.
The affiliate program that provides continuous help and upgrades for its products have the tendency to retain its members. These things can assure the growth of your
networks.
10. Be aware of the things that members are not happy about in a program.

Like with the ones mentioned above, you can do your checking at discussion forums. If
you know someone in that same program, there is ho harm asking if there are many
downsides involved. Have a thorough and intensive knowledge about the affiliate program and network you will be promoting on.
Knowing the kind of program you are getting yourself into will make you anticipate and prevent any future problems you may encounter.
