In today’s video I want to give you some solidtips when you approach partners f or either af f iliate or joint venture relationships. Let’s get right to it.
I get a lot of emails f rom people requesting that I either promote their product or enter into relationships withthem, joint venture relationships. A lot of these emails I really don’t even read, they get deleted. I want to giveyou a f ew tips today that’ll help increase your response rate when you contact af f iliate partners.
Number one on the list is understand your terminology and understand what you’re asking f or. I get people allthe time that email me essentially asking me to be an af f iliate f or their product but they tell me it ’s a JV, theywant a JV partnership. A joint venture and an af f iliate relationship are two completely dif f erent things. Forexample, a joint venture if you’re going to create the product and I was going to organize a traf f ic strategy andthen we were going to split the proceeds 50-50, that would be a joint venture. If you just want me to send anemail to my list of customers promoting your product f or a commission, that’s simply an af f iliate relationship.You have to understand what you’re asking f or and be clear about what you ask.
Next on the list is the f irst thing I get bombarded with in these emails, the commission – it pays 100%commission or it pays this much or we’ve made this much; it ’s all about money. Believe it or not, the number oneconcern that I have and a lot of other people that I know as well is that what can this product do f or mycustomer? Instead of talking about commission, why don’t you tell me if I promote this product f or you why aremy customers going to come back to me and rave to me and thank me f or recommending this product andshowing this product. Although a commission is really important to most af f iliates, also delivering a qualityproduct that’s going to deliver on what it ’s being sold as is really important as well.
Another t ip af ter that is make sure your sales page, all your marketing material and that you have an af f iliatelanding page, make sure all of that is set up. So when you’re ref erring these people, when you’re contactingthem via email, you can send them somewhere and you can show them documentation, you can show them asample of the product, you can give them some inf ormation that they can f eel comf ortable knowing that theperson they’re dealing with a prof essional.
Again just to quickly recap, when you’re contacting an af f iliate partner or a joint venture partner, make sure thatyou understand your terminology; there’s a dif f erence between a JV relationship and an af f iliate relationship.Af ter that, make sure you hammer home why this product is so great and why this person’s customers aregoing to rave to them and thank them and really be thrilled with it. And af ter that obviously you can startmentioning commission. Finally, successf ul af f iliate marketers expect you to have a resource page withcomplete inf ormation about the product. Make sure this is complete so you have a place to send them.
