If you own a website that sells a product (tangible or digital) or a service, you’re missing a boat load of extra income if you’re not using an affiliate marketing program.
Remember, the majority of affiliates are actually opportunity seekers.
Many affiliates become affiliates of a website for a few of the same reasons your customers purchased your product. To an affiliate the difference between buying your product and selling it is; the ability to earn profits from selling it and earning commissions.
Many affiliates have become affiliates after they bought the product and like it so much they wanted to sell it to others. This is another reason selling a quality product is very important.
You should have an army of affiliates who really like your product and want to earn commission selling it for you. A slew of passionate driven affiliates are the best. Money hungry affiliates are good too. However, remember most “affiliates” are very lazy and don’t want to work very hard, so you must make it as easy as possible.
The more marketing “tools” you provide – the more sales they will bring to your website.
If you choose to utilize a “product launch” method, then the more you do for them the better off you are and the more money everyone will earn.
Here are a few essential ingredients you need to attract the right affiliates to sell your product or service.
When an affiliate arrives at your website then make it very easy for him or her to see exactly where to sign up as an affiliate. It should be easy accessible. Do not hide the affiliate program. It should be readily seen.

Explain how simple it is to sell your product. Tell them why they should sell your product. Show them how much money is possible. Give them as much proof as possible. Sometimes you should use an actual launch for selling your affiliates on your concept. Your mission is to recruit as many affiliates as possible.
