Affiliate Program Management-How To Command Your Own Army Of Mercenary Salespeople!

Wouldn't you just LOVE to command your own army of mercenary salespeople that will stop at nothing to make you rich?

Wouldn't you just love if you don't have to pay anyone a dime unless they produce results?

Guess you would!

You need two things to make it big in this business.

You need a product and you need a way to sell that product. That's a simple equation. You probably already have one or more products at your immediate disposal. That's half the battle. The other half is where it gets trickier. Sales. You need them, and the more the merrier.

Unfortunately, marketing a product is a lot tougher than acquiring one. And having a great product won't do the trick by itself. You can spend all day, every day,trying to sell your product, but chances are that strategy won't get you that far.

Seriously, TRYING TO DO IT YOURSELF IS A DEAD END!

You know about the so-called gurus of Internet marketing-that small cadre of people who can seemingly transform every product they touch into pure gold. They didn't earn that power and recognition by marching alone or spending all day in a foxhole alone trying to sell. They know and use a BETTER WAY. It is not a big secret or anything but it is VERY important.

You NEED to have PEOPLE WORKING FOR YOU! Yes, that is correct. If you are trying to sell all by your self you won't make it very far no matter how hard you try.

Now, say you market an ebook. If you sell 1 copy a day you might be satisfied with that but what if you could have a battalion of people each selling one book each a day? What if you had 10, 20, 100 people selling 100 books totally a day without any additional work from your part?

I've seen people with killer sales copies only sell a few hundred copies of their ebook a year while others with less good sales pages and less great graphics can sell 1000 copies in ONE DAY!! It all narrows down to one simple thing: How you manage your affiliate program!

Because if you are trying to sell anything online you sure need to have an affiliate program! ...And you need to know Affiliate Program Management!

Imagine a single soldier trying to take on an entire battlefield. A ridiculous idea, right?

So, why would one mimic that scenario in their own marketing? Instead of fighting for success alone, you can enlist a brigade of highly-skilled marketers to support your cause.

That's the trick that separates the royalty of Internet marketing from the small-timers who are trying to squeeze out sales alone. The top marketers understand how to use affiliate marketing to produce massive sales numbers.

At its core, the concept is simple. You have a product. You invite others to sell your product in exchange for a commission. You pay a commission to those who make sales. That's it, in a nutshell.

However, if you try to implement an affiliate marketing strategy with nothing more than that basic concept in mind, you won't get far. As is so often the case, the difference between winning and losing is in the details.

Knowledge is the difference between defeat and victory. Knowledge is what will give you the advantage you need to operate a successful affiliate program.

I just got one advice for you: Set up an affiliate program and teach your affiliates thoroughly! (Yepp, that's basically all it takes to do excellent Affiliate Program Management!)

Within days or weeks you could have a well-trained special forces unit who will stop at nothing to sell your product over and over again.

You can leave the selling to the sellers and reap the rewards. Even while you sleep or spend an afternoon poolside, your army of salespeople will be out there fighting for you and your product.

And you won't pay any soldier who doesn't make a sale. You get to enjoy the spoils of victory without risking your own resources on lost causes. If they don't sell, they don't get paid. Think of the incentive that produces and the peace of mind it gives you!

THIS IS WHAT SEPARATES THE KNOWN MASTERS FROM THE SMALL-TIMERS!

Let's take another look at that simple statement we made earlier. Success hinges on having a product and selling the product. Remember, we know where to get products. That just leaves sales. If we can solve the sales problem, the sky is the limit.

Go grab your part of the profit pie today!
