My Membership Empire – How To Get Affiliates Promoting Your Membership Site

by Karl Gil Anderson on March 9, 2010

One best way to get rich on the internet is by running a membership site. Think about it this way. For offline business, a magazine company will charge monthly to their subscribers. You can do the same on the internet. You can give away information, articles, tips eBooks and videos every month in return for monthly payment.

No matter how good your product is, one membership site won’t be useful if you don’t get traffic. That’s why you need to learn how to get targeted traffic to your site. For details about getting traffic and running membership site, refer to My Membership Empire course.

The most common method that really works is by setting up an affiliate program. If you are selling something on the internet, you will miss lots of traffic if you don’t add affiliate marketing in your traffic generation strategy. An affiliate will refer a customer to your business and in return, you will share total profit with them.

Generally, if you can have more affiliates to promote your product, the more profit you will make. The faster your business would grow. That’s why, you must be smart and have more affiliates to promote your product.

The most common way to look for affiliate partners is by posting joint venture proposal in Warrior Forum. Read forum rules first before posting. You need to become active member first before posting or selling anything in this forum.

Another way to attract affiliates is by running a contest. Offer prizes like holiday trip, or money for top joint venture partner who refers the most members.

Total commission you are going to pay depend on factors like the industry, the price and your target audience. In most cases, total payout to affiliates will be higher for one competitive niche.

No matter what, paying high commission to affiliates is worth it. This case is true since you are going to sell membership site. Even if you earn just $5 from one customer, you still can make up to $60 every year from him.

Think about it this way. The product is priced at $50 and it cost you $10 to create the product. If the traffic is generated on your own effort, you will make $40 for each sale. In that case, you might want to pay around $30 for affiliates. Which means, you will earn $10 profit, and the affiliate will make $30 profit for each sale.

Running an affiliate program also means you need to track their sales and send them checks every month. You can setup an independent affiliate program by using certain tracking software. However, if you want to skip all the tracking and payment part, just leave it to Clickbank or Paydotcom. They will handle the payment, split the commission between you and your affiliates and send checks each month.
