One of the major growth commerce sectors of the last decade is the direct shopping sector which has continued to grow despite the world wide economic downturn of the last two years.

With home computer ownership and widespread web availability at broadband speeds the internet lends itself to online shopping.

With ease of product and price selection and comparison it can often save a significant number of dollars on a similar item purchased from a high street outlet and often even articles bought from overseas online stores can work out significantly cheaper as online outlest cut their prices in an effort to compete.

The ease of comparing items and prices from the convenience of your home and the speed at which many online stores despatch items means that they often arrive within a short time of ordering at a fraction of the price of a similar item bought on the high street.

It’s every site owners dream to have hundreds of affiliates marketing their site for years, unfortunately the sad truth is most affiliate programs see a peak when first launched and then the interest dwindles to just a few affiliates when the next new product hits the affiliate directories.

Why does this happen? It’s mainly due to the affiliate programs not being set up properly. What most affiliate program owners don’t get is they should be doing most of the hard work for their affiliates. What do I mean by this? I mean the site owner should be supplying their affiliates with the materials to advertise their sites, so all they have to do is spread those materials over the internet. Give them articles to post, pay per click ads, ezine ads, press releases, banner ads, viral reports, emails and even go as far as supplying keyword research for the website.

Setting up an affiliate program like this will increase how many affiliate are left advertising after the initially hype, and if the site owner keeps supplying new material for the affiliates it’s pretty much guaranteed that they will make a good income from their affiliates.

Using this method is definitely a good start but how do the experienced affiliate marketers get their affiliates falling over themselves to advertise their product year after year? They achieve this by implementing the following 3 affiliate program secrets:

Pay your affiliates the larger share of the profits for their sales. Yes you read that right, pay the affiliates the big share. Why? Firstly, everyone else will be paying their affiliates 50% or lower, if you enter a chosen market and offer affiliate 60 to 80% of the profits, who do you think the affiliates will promote? They will go were the money is best, which will be yours. Secondly, you should be making the majority of your money on the “back end”; this is when you offer customer’s related products that will compliment their purchase.

This is where a lot of site owners fail, they only focus on the first sale and don’t want to pay their affiliates the big share. All that happens is they end up making no money as the affiliate’s loose interest. You see the big money is made when you promote back end products to the list of customers you acquire from your affiliate’s sales and as you have already paid your affiliates for their sales all profits you make on the back end are 100% yours.

Pay the affiliate on your back end products as well, I know this sounds a little strange but this is how the big boys do things now to make their six figures plus online. Put yourself in the affiliate shoes, if your looking for a product to sale and there is a product that offers 60% commission on each sale and a product that offers 60% commission on each sale and 40% commission on the back end sale, which one will you promote? Exactly, setting up your affiliate program like this will attach over 90% of the affiliate in your chosen market. Consider how much profit you would make if there were 1000’s of affiliates promoting your product instead of just 100’s, I’ll let you do the maths.

Finally, to send your affiliate program sky high by offering a second tier, done correctly with the above you can wipe out any competition in your chosen market. Basically, a second tier is when you offer your affiliate commission of sales from affiliates they get to promote your product. So if affiliate 1 refers affiliates 2 and 3 to your affiliate program affiliate 1 will make commission on all sales affiliate 2 and 3 make.

The above strategies are advanced techniques and if used correctly can generate affiliate money for years to come. Before trying any of the strategies make sure your affiliate program has the necessary materials for your affiliates or your affiliate program will crash and burn.
