The Problem with Affiliate Marketing

The number one issue I have with most affiliate programs is that you lose control of the commission and the customer as soon as they link over to the vendor's website site. When you promote an affiliate program, who profits? The logical answer is both you and the affiliate program owner both earn a profit. Not a bad arrangement when done properly. In many cases you lose the customer that was sent to the affiliate owners site. For example, you join an affiliate and begin marketing the reseller link that you were issued. Let's say you generate 100 visitors to the affiliate owners website and 7% of them make a purchase, that's a total of 7 sales. But what about the other 93 people that visited the site due to your marketing efforts. In many cases a large portion of these visitors will sign up for a free email course and will continue to receive emails from the vendor's site. Statistics show that most people purchase after they have received about 7 follow up emails. If they are not interested, they usually opt-out of the list before that. Who gets the credit for these sales... NOT YOU. So you are spending money promoting the affiliate program and someone else is getting the profits on the VAST MAJORITY of sales. Scary huh! But there is a solution to this problem, and that's the program offered by TheMall at 24hour-info site. If you elected to become a member of this program your affiliate code will remain with your client, even if they join our email newsletter or come back to purchase in the future. The nice thing about TheMall is it provides you with a program that will give you the ability to offer over 10,000 information products with a completely search enabled tool. You don't have to go sequentially through all the products to find one you want to promote. Or better yet they have a search tool you can offer your client that will allow them to look for products themselves. So let's say they are interested in information about music, but they end up buying something they find by doing a search for dieting...you still get the commission! These items are available in conjunction with Clickbank, but if you want to sell them directly through Clickband you'd have to set up each and every item with your affiliate code, and who has time to spend setting up 10,000 affiliate links. TheMall does all the work for you, and you don't lose credit if you send your traffic to their site. If you are interested in Affiliate marketing and you don't want lose out on your efforts, you need TheMall.
