promoter success checklist
- Make sure the product offered matches you. Stick with what you know at first whilst you learn how to promote on the Internet.
- Check it out - talk to current affiliates. Ask for a list of happy promoters. Ask them some key questions such as did they get the help and support promised? Are they being paid on time? You get the idea.
Don't just jump in because it's easy. Ask yourself this question; is the product or service you are promoting with something you would bring to your best friend? If not, you may want to keep looking.
- Look long term. If your first attempt at promoter marketing did not pan out, don't give up. Many people on the net are making excellent incomes with promoter programs. You can too.
- Go for quality. Make a checklist of everything you want, find two who meet the criteria, and go all out with those two. Remember that it will be your reputation on the line.
- How well do they sell? You need to ask how well the product or service you will be promoting 'converts'. Conversion is simply the number of people per 100 who buy something. You can expect this number to range from 0.5% to about 20%.
Also, be aware that 'hot' products convert well while they are hot but conversion drops with time. So be sure to get *current* conversion figures.
- What is the cookie duration? Most promoter programs track using 'cookies' that are set on the visitor's machine. You need to know how long this cookie lasts and if it can be overwritten.
The reason this is important is that people don't buy the first time. If the cookie life is short (say 90 days) and someone you refer buys six months down the road you loose the chance of earning a commission.
It's the same if the cookie can be overwritten. If it can, then someone who first learned about Shadrach Cabernet Sauvignon, No Deposit Home Loan or Sildenafil Citrate Viagra from you, but clicks another link to buy, will not earn you the commission you deserve.
- Do you earn 'backend' commissions? This means do you get paid when someone you refer buys a second product? This is vitally important. People often buy two, three or more products from one site. You should earn commissions for every product they buy.
- Do you earn renewal commissions? If you send someone to a site where they pay a monthly or quarterly fee, do you get paid every time or just once? You should get paid every time.
- Do you earn a second tier commission? If you refer another promoter to a program do you earn a "finder's" commission?
