How to promote affiliate program

[Sirdki]

Hello, we've created an affiliate program. Our affiliates can sell dnn, sharepoint and cs-cart modules. I've tried to start goolge adwords, but in this niche all ads aren't shown.

Who can advertise something?

Why are your ads not shown? What niche is your site in?

To announce your affilaite program, you can create threads on webmaster forums and forums in your niche promoting the affiliate program. For example, visit our webmaster marketplace section and create a thread in the joint venture section.

If visitors are interested, they will join the affiliate program.

Have you tried finding blogs in your niche and write a blog post and add 2 links in it?

Can you tell us what other marketing methods have you tried yet?

the best method is to bring more visitors to your site, make sure you have a good description of your affiliate program to convert more visitors into your referral.

Webmaster forums are a good option. Try to have some good bonus for new users so that they are attracted towards your program..

That's a flooded market. You will probably have to pay for some advertising at first. Facebook ads are pretty popular.

Food For Thought:

Many affiliate programs make the mistake of NOT having information for affiliates and having NO communications with affiliates.

Before you even think about promoting your affiliates program to get affiliates, you should create an affiliate website for those affiliates (blog, forum, or an html site will work). On this site is needs to list everything that you offer and go into details about how your program works.

You need to offer pre-set templates, banners, pre-set ads, pre-set articles, and other advertising materials for the affiliates. The more you can offer an affiliate the easier it is for them to promote your site.

You also need to have those affiliates on a mail list and keep in contact with them. Send them tips on the latest marketing trends, send them new ads and promotional materials and etc.

A successful affiliate program does require proper management of that program.

Yes it is important do build a list of potential affiliate by giving away something of value that they would be interested in like a Free Training Course.

promote affiliate forum through, facebook, twitter and other social networking website but forum posting, ad posting, socialbookmarking, directory submission are necessary.

Do you offer a two-tier system. The best affiliates always come from your own good affiliates.

Please be careful and read and closely follow the forum rules before you start posting about your affiliate program in any forum. I followed a thread here suggesting I post in the JV Partner Forum and I got a warning from the moderator.

Big traffic to your site is the key, so focus on generating TRAFFIC.

You can have 20,000 visits a day and make $0.

Targeted Traffic is what you want.

this is my problem too, I have a affiliate program in shareasale.com

[Ord Allenbea]

I used to manage 2 very large affiliate programs in shareasale for clients. The thing about running an affiliates program is you must have someone that will go through and approve affiliates.

Affiliates should meet certain criteria to join your affiliate program, this way you will get real affiliates and not someone that just runs a blog with 50 affiliate programs on it and has no idea what affiliate marketing is.

Once you have real affiliates that have been approved then communications is the key to success. You must stay in contact with your affiliates and offer them ways to market your affiliate program.

I used to hold weekly online live seminars for all affiliates when I managed those 2 programs. The seminars would be based on marketing of the products, creating a website, and any other help the affiliates needed.

I also would release a video monthly for all affiliates that would be an over-view of the weekly seminars. I did this for those that may have missed the seminar.

Running an affiliates program for success is a full time job.

Your earnings potential is only limited by your lack of desire to work.

Why don't you just buy cheaper traffic. Adword traffic is expensive for a new business, try Adbrite or Adbrite like sites.
