what affiliates want in an affiliate program 

what affiliates want in an affiliate program

- Residual Commissions
- Payouts based on sales (not on clickthrus or impressions, etc.)
- Very attractive payouts of 20-30%.... (If a sale is made, the affiliate would earn AT LEAST $20.00)
- The affiliate's referrals are tied to their account for a 1 year period. That way if the referral decides to purchase within one year, the affiliate would get paid on it.
- Pay at least monthly and on time.
- Do not prominently display an 800 number.
- Answer all emails from affiliates personally.
- Send out a newsletter to affiliates.
- Update reports daily.
- Do not change link codes without notifying affiliates.
- If you sell products, provide links to individual products and categories of products.
- Direct deposit payout
- XML feed so the affiiates can have their customers order from their site
- A phone in system is good if you can tie in the affiliate ID number to the "extension" For example your number is 1-888-555-5555 and then you allow the affiliate to promote the toll free number with his or her "extension number (i.e. their affiliate ID code)" ensuring credit for them on any phone in order. Granted this takes a little more $$ to roll out, but it has been a very good method in the past.
