| Enticing Affiliate Signups (APO) |

When you are running your own affiliate program you will need to get affiliates. Any successful affiliate program has many affiliates promoting the product. I have personal internet marketing friends that run affiliate programs that have thousands of affiliates. That's a huge sales force that can generate a lot of money for the affiliate program owner (APO).
So how do you get people to join your affiliate program and start promoting your product. Here are some helpful tactics to make your affiliate program more enticing for people to join.
- Give away a high percentage to your affiliates: When you are choosing the percentage to give to your affiliates a higher percentage will always draw in more attention. If the affiliate has the ability to earn more money with your affiliate program they will be more likely to promote your product than someone else's.
- Promote your affiliate program to your customers: A great way to find more affiliates that are eager to promote your affiliate program are your current customers. Send them an email and let them know about your affiliate program. A happy customer is usually willing to share their experience with their friends.
- Make sure your affiliate program is easily found: A common mistake a lot of internet marketers make is they practically hide their affiliate program from their web site visitors. Always make sure that if anyone wants to join your affiliate program there is a easy to find link on all of your web site pages.
- Use gorilla marketing techniques to promote your affiliate program: Post your affiliate program on as many message boards as you can. Go to google and type in "affiliate marketing forum" and you will find many outlets to share your affiliate program. You can even type in a keyword into google that relates to your product and personally email high trafficked web sites to become a member of your affiliate program.
- Create powerful affiliate tools and resources: You will want to make your affiliate program very very EASY to promote for your affiliates. Make sure that you have create banners, text links, emails, or any other type of resources you think your affiliates would like to have. You can even survey your existing affiliates and ask them what they would like to have.
- Create monthly tele-seminars for you affiliates: If you have time you can record monthly tele-seminars for your affiliate program. You can use this time to educate your affiliates about the best ways to promote your affiliate program.
