Step 3: Set Up Your Affiliate Center

Successful affiliates are usually busy trying to generate traffic and they have very
little time to look for new products and plan campaigns. So you want to make it
copy-and-paste easy for them to promote you.

You need to give them tools they can use to promote your product and then give
them an action plan to implement…

For example, tell your affiliates to:

1. Send these solo ads your list
2. Add these banners to your site
3. Post these articles on your blog
4. Place these text ads on Google
5. Brand this report and give it away
6. Promote this video to your list

The tools are worthless to an affiliate unless they know what to do. Give them a
plan and they will take action.

The Affiliate Registration Page

You also want to follow up with your affiliates to keep them motivated. So you’ll
need to set up an affiliate registration page. This doesn’t have to be complicated.
Just set up a separate list at Aweber and create an opt-in form. Write a short
“salesletter” for your affiliate program, add the opt-in form and you’re done.

Note: your customers will often be your best affiliates. So you’ll want to promote
your affiliate program on your download page and in followups to your
customers.

It’s important to really “sell” your affiliate program and give people a
strong incentive to join.

For example: you could give your affiliates a training manual that shows them
how to generate traffic and add an ecover graphic to your affiliate registration
page.

You also need to explain the terms of your affiliate program (how, when and how
much they get paid) and list the benefits of joining your team.
