Here are a few tips:
- Firstly, can you add your own eBook to the product list so that other affiliates can promote your eBook. Without this option, the affiliate program would be useless to you, unless the purpose of promoting the program is only to earn additional income.
- What commission would you have to offer other affiliates/merchant account for each sale of your eBook?
- What commission would you get for promoting other products? Don’t accept less than 25% commission. You can find affiliate programs with great payment structures and high percentages of the purchase price in just about every field.
- Look for comprehensive statistics pages that list the number of click-throughs, sales and earnings so you can see how you’re doing. The information should be broken down by month.
- Find out how often you will be paid and make sure that the payment schedule meets your expectations. Some programs pay monthly, others quarterly; which is best for you?
- Look for examples of marketing methods that successful affiliates are using to get the best results.
- Make sure that top level support is given. If they can’t answer your questions promptly and intelligently, you don’t want to work with them.
- Think about the future. This takes some serious contemplation, sometimes with no result. But there can be great dividends for being first, possibly pioneering a niche. Study what differences do you see from six months or a year ago? What trends do you see?
- Does the affiliate program offer you a free way to join without buying the product or service?
- Contact other affiliates already in the program to see if they have had any problems.
- Can they notify you by e-mail when a sale is made?
