Q: With the Affiliate Program, is everything done automatically or do I have to personally recruit customers?
The Affiliate Program is new to me. I would like to know if I would have to personally recruit customers (door to door or some other means), or if once initial set up of services are complete, will everything be done automatically?

A: Affiliate programs are typically those programs that a publisher like you joins or signs up to earn money -- and you earn money through commissions by selling the company's products. Take for example Amazon.com's Associate program http://affiliate-program.amazon.com/gp/associates/join where you put a link on your website to Amazon.com's products, and you earn money if a visitor to your website clicks on the link and purchases that item or other items from Amazon.com So yes, YOU will be responsible for finding the customers and your earnings will depend on how many customers you give to the company. The more sales you do for them, the higher your earning. Companies afterall do affiliate programs so they can get help in selling their products -- and that is your role.

Q: Your thoughts on having multiple affiliate program on a website?
Im starting a website and there are three different affiliate programs that I want to list on the site. Is there a progrom/software that allows visitors to add all the items into one basket, purchase the items and then the payments go to each individual affiliate program? I checked Paypal, but I'm not sure that they do that.

A: Affiliates do not work like that.... You can subscribe to many affiliate programs. Some pay per per ad impression some per completed sale. But you will send your traffic to them and the transaction is completed on their servers. Just be careful not to make promo text from one affiliate send traffic to another...

Q: What affiliate program can i use for a website about my hometown?
I'm planning to set up a website about my hometown. And at the same time I want to put some affiliate programs in it. Any ideas what kind of affiliate products i could put in there which would be relevant ?

A: Wow, lots of people spamming your question with irrelevant links,,,sorry to see that. Try to find various programs that reach a general audience or the topic of the content. If you are trying to get people to come to visit your town, try a hotel or travel program, or offer luggage or maps, or children's travel games programs. Something people may use in your home town or a general program with all of the above like Eastern Mountain Sports. You may also want to think about trying to use a restaurant program if there are any restaurants in your hometown that may have a coupon or deal. Try to find something relevant to what the purpose of the site is, or something related to the copy. If you have a local drugstore you want to write about, try using the hocks.com program which is a small online pharmacy (no I have no affiliation with them). Basically, pick something relevant or something that will ad value to your end user. You may also want to think about non-profit organization's programs like AARP or something if you have a largely older population as well.

Q: How do I incorporate PayPal into an affiliate program for payment?
I am starting an affiliate program but I choose to use paypal to pay my affiliates. I have seen this in other programs but when I search PayPal for answers I can't seem to find any anything. Please no clickbank answers.

A: Forgive me if I don't accurately answer your question, because I'm not sure what you want. I assume you want a way to identify which of your affiliates sent a visitor to your website who bought what you are selling. If so, then you need software that records and logs all of your affiliates clicks and sales, so you will know which affiliate to reward. I do not think Pay Pal offers that software. You can search for "affiliate tracking software" at Yahoo to find a provider. Most software ranges from free to several thousand dollars. Most of the free software though is riddled with adware, spyware, and is limited on what it can do. I found a website for you that offers free affiliate tracking software, you can check them out as well as search for others.

Q: Who has the highest paying affiliate program?
I'm about to begin an internet marketing campaign and promote affiliate prducts. Who is the top paying affiliate program?

A: The way I make money online is by making websites. You do not need to be a genius either. These websites are targeted to niche markets and promote ebay items for related goods. I add in amazon ads and other big search engine ads that we had best not mention. Its a great income from many sources. I reckon anyone can do using the program I do. Ebay pay $25.00 per new sign up and 50% of any revenue they make from a sale if someone buys through your site. And that can be anyone, even friends, family or you as well as the worldwide visitors. Take a look at http://www.nichebomb.com

I want to earn money as an affiliate and I want to find the best website to do that for if I drive traffic to my affiliate link for that website. Is there a way for me to find out the top-ranking sales websites with free affiliate programs and maybe even what the best-selling items are?

A: Amazon.com has one of the biggest affiliate programs around. If you have your own website, you can apply at http://affiliate-program.amazon.com/gp/associates/join The key however is to determine who your visitors are, what types of products or services are they looking for and likely to buy or sign up for -- then you can start narrowing your choices for affiliate programs. That is how you are going to earn a lot from affiliate programs You can also join Commission Junction http://www.cj.com or Linkshare http://www.linkshare.com to join affiliate programs of big companies.

Q: How to list an affiliate program on eBay w/out breaking their rules?
I have seen different 'auctions' that are not really auctions (I think they may put like .01 cents on it or something like that.), but it is really an affiliate opportunity. I saw something today that was like an herbal stop smoking program, but it is done as an affiliate program, & whenever people order from the COMPANIES website (alas, NOT my auction, hence my question.) then I make a comission. In other words, I want the giant marketplace of eBay in order to somehow become a successful affiliate/make some extra money. Can anyone think of a way to do this? Thanks!

A: Well, if you are trying to do something like this, use a large bulletin board. Ebay will charge you to post an item and if this is something you want to do for awhile, it may not be worth your while to repeatedly post it. Try making a great homepage with your affiliate program. Then use Google to promote it.

Q: What's the best way to become successful at any type of affiliate program?
I read that 99% of the people who get involved in affiliate programs hardly make any money. Only the top 1% affiliate marketers earn a high income. What's the difference(s) that separates the winners from the losers?

A: I make money online through affiliate programs. They can be very lucrative, but you really need to be careful when signing up with a company. There are a lot of scams. Look for a company with little or no start up fee. You also want a company that offers excellent training. Check out the products or services that the company offers to see if you find them reliable. Establish a start up budget, and schedule some time to work on your business. The failure rate in this business is high because most people don’t invest the time and energy needed to succeed. You have to believe in your ability to succeed 100%! Check out this free ebook on Internet Marketing: http://www.pluginprofitsite.com/main-12692/dotcomology.html Mindy http://www.machughes.com
