Best Affiliate Marketing Programs

For Beginners – 11 Must Know Tips

by Matt Bacak

 

When one is new to online marketing, (s) he is looking for the best affiliate programs for beginners. However, it is quite hard to figure a way around, as it feels like a first-time kayak in river during the rainy season. Through my experience, I have the opinion that a newbie needs to get the smoothest take off in online marketing, because it is possible.

The affiliate programs I would recommend to a new online marketer should have the best features in the market. These would include: products that convert well, pay sizeable commissions, provide high and lifetime customer value and finally provide resources and tools to promote the products. Let’s take a look at these in detail.

1. When you refer a client and make a sale, you do not want your sale to just end with that one time commission. It will be a jackpot finding one that can benefit you in the long run.

2. Beginners therefore need programs that have lifetime income possibilities. One should therefore look out for programs that have lifetime cookie tracking.

3. You should join a network that will offer you marketing tools. As a newbie, you are probably not good at designing and still know not what sells. Assistance from a network will be valuable.

4. Many affiliate networks provide banners, keywords to target and email files. However, a newbie needs more than these. Find affiliate programs that provide complete turnkey marketing system which have squeeze pages and sales video presentation.

5. Find programs that offer recurring commission on products. This will ensure income growth as each referral will be cumulative income.

6. Find programs that have high customer retention rates. This increases your chances of recurrent income from your referrals.

7. If you can get your hands on high ticket products, it will better than low ticket products.

8. There are programs which would teach you how to be successful in promoting their products as an affiliate, and if you find these you are on a safe track.

9. There are many Gurus out there hyping on cash making IM products. Do not believe everything you hear until you try it and have your conviction. Some have nothing more than a story.

10. For a start, it would not be a good idea to join paid programs to teach you on affiliate marketing, there is a lot of information out there for free that you might never find in many programs you would pay for.

11. Visit the warrior forum and read the war rooms’ threads for at least a month or two before going for any paid programs. All internet marketers have made it their home and you will be glad you did.

Some of the best affiliate programs for newbies and super affiliates that I would recommend include: Daegan Smith, Empower Network, EZ Money Method and Laid off to Paid Off. These programs have the characteristics I have described above. Other networks which are also good are More Niche and Amazon.
