Are you Thinking About Joining Someone Else's "Pay Per Sale" Affiliate Program?

Here's 16 Questions You need to Ask Yourself Before Deciding

Affiliate programs are a great way to break into an Internet based info-product business. It allows you to test and build your marketing and sales skill without having a product of your own. Generally you could find these throughout the net, with clickbank.com being the biggest location for finding affliate programs. Are you thinking about joining an Affiliate Program? Then here are a few questions you need to ask yourself as you make your decision which one to join.

1. Does the affiliate program offer you a free way to join without buying the product or service?

2. Contact other affiliates already in the program to see if they have had any problems.

3. Is the product or service related to your target audience?

4. Can they notify you by e-mail when a sale is made?

5. Do they offer backend products so you can get repeat sales from the same person?

6. How often will you receive a commission check?

7. Do you get credited for a sale if people come back in month and then make a purchase.

8. Can you get around-the-clock help online or offline?

9. Do you get a large percentage of each sale as commission?

10. Do they provide you with proven sales material? (links, banners, classified ads, sales letters etc)

11. Will they give you the leeway to create promotional ads?

12. Do they offer you access to an online sales stats page?

13. Do they use a reputable system to track your sales?

14. Does the affiliate program pay commission for sales of people who sign up under you?

15. Can they offer customers a lot of different ordering options, so in return you won't lose sales?

16. Will they keep in contact with you on a regular basis by e-mail?

Any good and reliable affiliate program owner/manager will be happy to answer these and show you how to use them effectively, as they know they don't make money unless you do. So do your research, find a program or two that you love, then go forth and multiply.
