| A Unique Opportunity For Affiliate Recruiters |
If you're a webmaster, web publisher, or web merchant, chances are
you have already come across the concept of affiliate marketing.
As online joint venture partnerships, affiliate programs allows both
content publishers and web merchants to maximize their online
profits by working with each other.
Content publishers, including webmasters, ezine writers and forum
owners, are able to focus their energies and resources on what they
know best...creating great content to attract web visitors.
Affiliate merchants on the other hand, are able to focus their
efforts on creating great products, receiving online payments, and
getting their products to customers.
The success of affiliate marketing has resulted in an unfortunate
problem:
Because they are so popular, there are now so many affiliate
merchants fighting for affiliates that it has become hard for them
to differentiate themselves from each other and to attract good
affiliates.
Put another way, while affiliates can help merchants solve the
problem of finding customers, merchants are now facing the problem
of having to first find good affiliates!
This has given rise to some innovative merchants setting up
affiliate programs that pay affiliate commissions to multiple tiers
of affiliates, the most popular being 2 tier affiliate programs.
What this does is to create a unique opportunity for "Affiliate
Recruiters" who join multi tier affiliate programs to serve a
slightly different function.
These affiliate recruiters, often owners of websites, ezines, and
forums that attract other webmasters, focus their energies
recruiting other webmasters to sign up as their "sub-affiliates" and
to sell the affiliate products.
As a result, when affiliate products are sold by their sub-
affiliates, these affiliate recruiters will also get paid a referral
commission.
Two important points to understand are:
1) The affiliate programs must be free to join...no "sign-up"
fees, "set-up" costs, nor "product-testing" fees are
involved...otherwise they become traditional multi level marketing
programs, and run the risk of affiliates trying to make money
by "pushing products" to other affiliates.
2) While these programs create a new role for "affiliate recruiters"
who can make money by specializing in recruiting affiliates, the
products will still have to actually be sold to real customers for
the merchant, affiliate recruiter, and affiliate to make any money.
If you are currently an affiliate merchant having problems
recruiting good affiliates, why not consider using a multi tier
affiliate program and let "affiliate recruiters" do this work for
you?
If you happen to run a webmaster related site, or happen to know
many webmasters or successful affiliates, why not consider being
an "affiliate recruiter" by recommending multi tier affiliate
programs?
