Community Joint Ventures - How to Start an Affiliate Program

Monday, March 24th, 2008

Hi gang, Rick Ostler here again from Community Joint Ventures. Today we’re going to look at how to start your own highly-profitable affiliate program (this is the ultimate in leverage that allow entrepreneurs to achieve 1000 hour work weeks without actually working)…

(Here’s an idea: advertise your affiliate program on Adwords rather than your main product, it gets you far more leverage!)

When you want to take control and are thinking of starting your own affiliate program, there are certain things you will need to offer.

You need to make it easy for affiliates to get on board and get started right away. To do this, you will need to offer them certain hings to work with. You should immediately tell them everything they need to know in the first e-mail you send to them.

Advertisements
If you want your own affiliate program to work you need ads that are effective. You should make sure they are effective before you start handing them out to affiliates. You don’t have to offer a ton of ads to affiliates at first.

Graphics
You really need to make your available graphics easier than ever for affiliates to use. If you try to get complicated, they will not be effective. Set up your website so all the affiliate has to do is cut and past the HTML code into their own web page editor.

Content
One thing you shouldn’t forget when you want to start your own affiliate program is content. You should offer your affiliates content they can use. They can paste the article onto their site and get more traffic.

As you can see, as long as you offer simple and helpful tools to affiliates, you can think about starting your own affiliate program with no problems. Try having everything set up before you start signing affiliates up.

Community Joint Ventures - People Buy For Their Reasons, Not Ours

Monday, March 24th, 2008

Hi gang, Rick Ostler here from Community Joint Ventures. I had a call recently from someone who said he’s afraid to market online because a lot of the information he wants to sell is already available for free.

I have always said, and most experts agree, that, “People buy for their reasons, not ours”. And that is so true. So how should we look at this problem with a winning attitude?

First, nothing EVER sells itself. Just because you have it on your shelf or website, doesn’t mean anyone will buy it.

Even if it’s free, most people will treat it as ‘free’ and totally under-value the information and possibly treat it as “worthless” because they got it for free!

Right? Listen carefully, “THERE HAS TO BE ONE OR MORE REASONS FOR THEM TO BUY IT.” Got that? Read it again in case you flew by it and did not give that sentence the respect it deserves.

Second, you better give your prospects EVERY REASON you can think of to buy your product so they can pick the one’s that appeal most to them.

Third, NOTHING is really “FREE” anyway… (except maybe ‘air’). Yes, there is a lot of FREE information on the Internet. But, is it really FREE? Of course not. In some cases it’s already been paid for through advertising dollars.

In other cases it will still cost you TIME to search for the information. TIME is even more valuable than money, if you ask me - once it runs out you just can’t make any more of it! But…you can always make more money!

I suggested to my young inquirer that people value information not just for the words alone, but also the way it is:

1. Delivered
2. Formatted
3. Organized

Some people like information delivered by ink on newsprint. Some people like information delivered by sound waves from a radio.

Still others like to read information in magazines or books or listen to information on audio tapes or read it on web pages.

People like information delivered, formatted and organized in many different ways, not just one or two.

The question he should be asking is: “Why should people buy my information on the Internet, over all the other available ways it’s currently being delivered, formatted and organized?”

Competition (even from those who ‘give it away’) is NOT the problem.

The problem is creativity. Your information does no good sitting on a shelf.

Find a way to package it and the way your customer wants it delivered and make yourself a profit. You cannot ‘lock-up’ content.

Content is meant to be shared and, if you can, make a profit from it in more ways than one.

Community Joint Ventures - Compare Affiliate Marketing With Other Businesses

Monday, March 24th, 2008

Hi gang, Rick here from Community Joint Ventures. Affiliate marketing is a type of internet advertising in which affiliates drive the traffic to the advertiser“s website for sales. In turn the affiliates receive a share from the advertisers. Affiliates place the ads of advertisers on their websites.

There are various advantages as well as risks associated with this online business. Let us compare this online business with an office job or other business. This may help someone who is considering this business.

1. Low Cost Business

Most people are afraid to start a home based business because of the capital that is normally needed. With affiliate marketing, you need not worry about the money because it does not require much investment. It truly is a low cost business. It is even possible to start this business without any investment.

2. Inventories Not Required

In all other businesses, product management is the most stressful aspect in running your business. In many cases, it is necessary to hire additional people to handle your inventory. But in the case of affiliate marketing, you are not required to maintain any inventory. All of this is done solely by the merchants. This is yet another advantage of affiliate marketing.

3. Unlimited Income

If you are a successful affiliate marketer then you can earn unlimited income. If your website has got a high page ranking then it is assured that you will get more and more sales with the passage of time. After your business is up and running well, you usually don“t need any more investment. Not like other businesses where your income is always limited and you are always required more investments to expand your business.

4. Worldwide Business

With affiliate marketing, your market is not limited to your city or even your country. In this field you have a global market. You just need to set up your website and drive traffic to it from all over the world.

5. Risk

As you know, to start marketing as an affiliate you are not required to make a big investment. This makes it a virtual risk free business. This is the reason why more and more people are engaging in this field day by day. The only risk involved in this business is your time if you are not doing it properly. If you are not equipped with proper knowledge to do this business then you may end up with nothing in hand after waiting for months.

6. 24 hours Sales

As I have said, if you choose to earn your income as an affiliate marketer, the entire world becomes your potential customers. Your business in affiliate marketing continues twenty-four hours a day. This means that yes, you are earning even when you are sleeping.

You will only enjoy all of the above benefits of affiliate marketing, if you have selected the right products, the right merchants and the right market.

Affiliate marketing has many benefits over other businesses. The main benefits are less investment requirement, 24 hours sale and unlimited sales. But not all the people can be successful in this business as it requires the patience, focus and proper knowledge of market trends. So the risks associated with this business are for those who are not well equipped with proper knowledge and training.
