Merchant Tips & Resources for Affiliate Programs |

What is Affiliate
Marketing? |
Affiliate programs have emerged as one of the main revenue
streams on the internet. There's plenty of money to be made selling
other people's stuff, or if you're a merchant, having other people
selling your stuff.
Affiliate Program Marketing allows a website owner (merchants) to share in revenues
that result from users originating at their website. From the
merchant's perspective, it enables the merchant (ie. the company
running the affiliate program) to obtain sales on a
pay-for-performance model - whereby their advertising is essentially
done at no charge and they simply pay-out a commission or fee for
resulting sales or traffic.
Affiliate Program Marketing helps create -
-
Controlled expansion of distribution and promotional windows.
- Ease of management and introduction of new lines.
- Instant implementation of strategies across your whole operation.
- Incentives to create multiple streams using this solution.

| What
software do you need to setup an Affiliate Program? |
The whole point behind setting up an Affiliate Program is to make
it really easy for the associate to join and to bring you qualified
visitors. For the affiliate, the beauty is that there are no orders
to fill, no credit cards to charge, no inventory to stock, no
returns or shipping or handling problems, no customer service, no
questions, no in-person or over the phone selling of the
product.
It is all "clean and easy" for them... which is one of the main
benefits of joining an Affiliate Program.
You can either setup software yourself, through software such as
AssocTrac, or utilise a third party service such as Commission
Junction. It either case, we can help you establish this for you.

AssocTrac
I recommend Corey Rudl's AssocTRAC
software. You don't just get the software installed. The
package also includes a heap of advice from Corey, whose
company achieves sales of $5.2 million a year.
With AssocTRAC you can run your own affiliate program.
AssocTRAC allows you to see which of your Associates are
promoting you and exactly where your sales are coming from.
Corey Rudl's Internet Marketing Center has the
biggest-selling marketing course on the Internet. His sites
attract 6 million visitors a year. His two-tier
associate program works perfectly. Associates like Corey's
tracking system because they can find the information they
need quickly and easily.
This can allow you to target your market more effectively, something you can't do with simple "page hit counters.
