Get The Best Commission
“How much money will I make?” That is always the burning
question. Well, the sky is virtually the limit, but let’s start
by making sure that you get the best commission possible.
When you look at affiliate programs, this should be one of the
first things you look at - the commission per sale. Again, this
may be portrayed as a percentage, or as a dollar figure. If the
commission is presented as a dollar figure, it is important to
locate the sale price of the product, and figure the commission
percentage.
Typically, you want to go with affiliate programs that offer a
50% commission. If the product is high priced, you may consider
going as low as a 20% or 30% commission. But for lower priced
products, don’t accept anything less than 50% on the 1st
tier.
You should also consider how many sales it will take to earn
the income that you desire or require. 100.00 per sale may
sound like a lot, but if you require 4000.00 a month to live,
you will have to make forty sales each month. This is very
realistic for some products, in some markets, and not realistic
at all for other products in other markets. Consider what you
are selling, and whom you are selling it to, and determine
whether the number of sales needed to make the money you
require is indeed realistic.
If the number of sales required is not realistic, you will need
to either look for something different to sell, or look for
additional products to sell. You could also start small - with
smaller commissions - and work your way up. This is what many
super affiliates do.
Super affiliates often show the product owner/affiliate manager
that they have the ability to make a large number of sales each
and every month, consistently, and then they negotiate directly
with the product owner for a higher commission. They prove
themselves by making those sales first, and then they are in a
position to negotiate.
When looking at the commission, also consider what it will cost
you to promote the product. You cannot afford to spend more on
promotions than you are making in commissions - obviously. Know
your numbers!
