What Would My Ideal Affiliate Look Like?

June 5th, 2009 Grace 2 comments

Just over a year ago, I had no idea what an affiliate was.  The word had never entered my vocabulary. I never thought about it.  One day a friend introduced me to the idea.

 

It began with Ann Sieg’s e-books.  Then within the Renegade system, I could become an affiliate with AWeber, Oprius, Amazon, Site Build It, and on and on.  I was flying by the seat of my pants, following each step, not having a clue what I was doing.

 

Next came Mike Klingler’s Renegade University, another affiliate.  I’ve learned a lot there.  I learned about social marketing, Squidoo, FaceBook, Twitter, Blogs, YouTube and more.

 

I learned about branding myself, not my product.  Building lists, Lead Capture Pages, and attraction marketing.   I could go on but I think you get the picture.

 

As I have ventured onto the internet, I have come across multiple lead capture pages. All of these pages wanting my contact info so I can have a web site or an e-book to end all e-books to help me earn money on the internet.

 

The purpose… get my own web site, promote it and build my list so others can do the same thing.  There are thousands on the internet all marketing basically the same thing.  I know you’ve seen them.

 

Write an article, write a blog, write a Squidoo page, distinguish myself as an expert and I would have people streaming to my affiliates and making tons of money. 

 

I’ve seen many people writing about the same things with their own unique spin.

 

Those who have experienced this same path know what I’m talking about.  How many will really make the money promised? 

 

Don’t get me wrong, affiliates do make money and I applaud those who are.

 

There are also people producing great information.  I’ve learned from them and I thank them and appreciate them for sharing.  Not my expertise.

 

So, what would an ideal affiliate look like in my opinion?

 

Here is what my dream affiliate includes.

The value would be worth more than the investment

It would pay to unlimited levels

Earnings would be from $25 to $125 on each new affiliate

There would be a positive impact on the environment with each new affiliate

A consumable product would be included which pays to unlimited levels

The product would be in high demand, one of a kind, backed by multiple patents and thousands of research papers

The product would be in one of the biggest growth industries in the U.S.

The affiliate program would be self-funded

It would be backed by a stable, growing, expanding, over 50 year old company

Both the product and the affiliate program would be backed by multiple patents

The “list” would be buyers

It would include the opportunity to earn yearly expense paid exotic vacations based on performance

On-line 24/7 free training and education

Personal Support

Is there anything out there with all of these components?  Do you know of any?

I doAfter learning what an affiliate was, how they paid and how they worked, the light bulbs came on!

I have an affiliate program which includes all of these things.  It is in my own “backyard.”
