Use Affiliates to Increase Your Sales

If you self-published your book or sell ebooks, special reports, or digital downloads from your site, you should take advantage of the free sales force that affiliate marketing provides. By offering your affiliates a commission on every sale they make, it’s a win-win situation. They make some extra money with minimal effort and you make a sale to a customer who may never have found you without the affiliate.

Most online shopping cart service, such as PayLoadz, ClickBank, and 1ShoppingCart.com, enable you to easily set up an affiliate program. PayLoadz is the service I’m currently using and it’s very easy to implement. After you set up your affiliate program, be sure to promote it and offer ready-made sales tools for your affiliates to use.

If you’re interested in becoming an affiliate for The Web-Savvy Writer special reports, visit The Web-Savvy Writer affiliate page for more details.  Of course, you can also generate affiliate income from my traditional print books by participating in the ultimate web affiliate program, Amazon Associates.

    Just came across your blog and wanted to mention this is a great post.

    Running an Affiliate program is an essential online activity for any type of eBusiness.

    What can be better than creating a world-wide army of sales affiliates that you don’t have to train or even pay until after they generate a sale for you!!

    I am not familiar with PayLoadz, but try to always use a two-tier affiliate program, and don’t forget to announce your affiliate program through services like AffiliateAnnouncement.com (there are other good ones too!)
