Creating a program that attracts top affiliates is one of the most rewarding ways to increase your bottom line and decrease your own work load. It provides you with the advantage of having a large “sales force” that works for you, but you don't have to pay them by the hour or employ them on salary.
Affiliates that help to sell your products are as precious as a hard-working employee, though, in that they can bring in massive traffic to your website, generating sales leads and actual product sales. And, all they ask in return is that you make it easy for them to share in the profits of your success, at a generous rate of return. For the advantages that affiliates provide, their commission is well worth every penny.
The problem, though, that many new Internet marketers find (when they first start to create an affiliate program) is that it is easy to start, but not so easy to motivate their affiliate partners to continue with them long-term. There are so many competing affiliate programs that if your program is not generating the types of returns your affiliates desire, or if it is much harder to operate, your affiliate partners may decide to go somewhere else where the take is easier or fatter.
So, you do want to implement a great program, but you also want to include strategies that help develop and keep your affiliates happy. For that, let's try to look into the mind of an average affiliate partner to see what it is they want out of any affiliate program.
