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.
