How to Recruit an Army of Sub-Affiliates

Brad · #1 08-28-2006, 11:15 AM

With the VodaHost Sub-Affiliate Program, you now have the opportunity to recommend the VodaHost Affiliate Program to your web site visitors, your customers, and your list of opt-in e-mail subscribers in order to recruit an army of sub-affiliates. For each sale that one of your sub-affiliates make, will earn an additional 15% commission based on their earnings. So for every $100 they earn, you will make an extra $15 for doing nothing.

How our sub-affiliate program works

The concept of sub-affiliates is pretty straightforward. Simply put, if you encourage someone to become an affiliate, you earn a percentage of each sale they make -- AND continue to earn your own commissions.

For example:

Let's say that you decide to recommend the VodaHost Affiliate Program to a few of your customers and subscribers because you've been really pleased with the commissions you've been earning as an VodaHost affiliate, and you think they could really benefit from this kind of easy income as well.

You send your customers an e-mail recommending the program, and at the end of it, you tell them that they can sign up immediately by simply clicking on a link.

That's it! You don't have to do another thing to start earning even more income. We e-mail all of your sub-affiliates, just like we e-mailed you when you signed up as a new affiliate, and we show them how to promote VodaHost affiliate products to earn the same great commissions you've been earning.

If you do a really good job of telling your sub-affiliates about the benefits of belonging to this program, many of them will begin following our promotion instructions right away -- and within a few days, many of your sub-affiliates start making sales!

How do you earn money by recruiting sub-affiliates???

Every time one of your sub-affiliates makes a sale, you will earn 15% of based on his/ her commissions. SIMPLE!

It works the same way for all of the affiliate products! Once you've recruited sub-affiliates, you earn easy extra income from every sale that they make. It's simple, and it can be extremely profitable.

How you can recruit sub-affiliates

The most effective way to recruit an army of sub-affiliates is through an informative e-mail or article that clearly explains the benefits of being a VodaHost affiliate -- including your own personal recommendation explaining how you have personally profited.

We've also created some banners that you can place on your web site to promote the program. Remember, many people have never heard of an affiliate program before and may have no idea what you're talking about until you explain it in "layman's terms" and show them the benefits. Simply mention that you've "found a company that will pay very generous referral fees for placing their banner on your site."

If you just tell visitors to go to the site and check it out without explaining the benefits of being an affiliate, they'll have no reason to make the effort and click on the link. You have to show them that the program is free to join and will earn them substantial revenue without a lot of work on their part. They get paid for posting a link to us. It's as simple as that!

Who make the best sub-affiliates?

The people who are going to be interested in signing up for the VodaHost Affiliate Program are web site owners. These are the people you want to be targeting.

There are a few different ways you can reach this audience, and the strategies you choose will depend largely on the resources you have at your disposal.

Here are the best people to promote the affiliate program to:

*Owners/editors of newsletters: You can contact owners and editors of successful newsletters and persuade them to include an article you've written, or run a small classified ad promoting the VodaHost Affiliate Program. Position your offer to the owner/editor as a great chance to give their subscribers an invaluable business opportunity.

Your newsletter subscribers: If you have an online newsletter that goes out to web site owners or people interested in earning income online, it's a perfect way to recruit sub-affiliates with relatively little effort on your part.

If you don't have a newsletter, but have a friend who writes one, ask them if you can plug the VodaHost Affiliate Program in the next edition of their newsletter.

Your opt-in e-mail list: If you have an opt-in e-mail list, e-mailing them a personal letter of recommendation is another easy way to recruit sub-affiliates.

Forums, newsgroups, and e-mail discussion lists: Talk about the VodaHost Affiliate Program in appropriate forums, newsgroups, and e-mail discussion lists. Tell people about your personal experience with it, and why you recommend it, and then tell them that they can sign up too by clicking on your affiliate link.

Keep it short, sweet, and informative. You don't need to hype the program, because people won't believe you. Just be honest, and let people know it's a good opportunity that you think they could benefit from, too.

People who receive your autoresponders: If you currently have an autoresponder that gets sent to your clients for whatever reason, you could add a little blurb about how you have earned some healthy referral fees from VodaHost. You could then tell them how to get an article from you that shows exactly how you did it so they can copy you.

People who own web sites with related content: We have a few affiliates who spend time surfing the Internet and manually finding big web sites that are related to business or have business owners visiting them to present the VodaHost Affiliate Program to.

Usually they send an e-mail and then follow up with a phone call (if it's a high-traffic web site, the e-mail often goes unanswered). Even if the phone number is not listed on the site, it's easy to go to http://www.whois.sc and look up the phone number of the owner to contact directly.

This technique can be very powerful. If you get just a couple of big sites to join the program, you earn generous sub-affiliate commissions from their high sales volumes.

How to follow up with your sub-affiliate leads

Following up is the most important part of your strategy -- so always go after the same audience at least twice!

Many times, some of your audience will miss the information the first time around (they could be too busy, or it's just not the right time, etc.). It's been our experience that our response doubles with the second notice. In other words, if you got 100 people to join the first time, 100 more will join when you do a follow-up.

Here are the best ways to follow up...

In your newsletter: If you sent out a special newsletter edition with all the details of the VodaHost Affiliate Program, mention it predominantly --not in the next issue, but the issue after that. Then mention it as a little caption or classified ad in every regular issue after that. This will drastically increase your response. It could be as simple as saying, "To learn how I made $1,075 in a few days with a Free Affiliate Program, go to [your affiliate link]."

In an e-mail discussion list: Be careful how you follow up here, as it may seem like advertising and you can get in a little hot water. You want to wait for 2-3 weeks and then post a short message to remind people about it -- but nothing too blatant or forward, as you don't want it to come across as advertising. The perfect opportunity would be to mention the VodaHost Affiliate Program while answering someone else's question, then include your link.

In forums and newsgroups: You can get away with re-posting messages (or posting them in a different form) in appropriate business newsgroups once in a while, but be careful in forums. As mentioned above, you don't want to come across as advertising, so it's best to have the "follow up" mention the VodaHost Affiliate Program by somehow tying it into answering a forum posting.

With customer lists or lead lists: Find a way to incorporate a small note about it in a future e-mail to your customer base or lead list, reminding them of the opportunity and where to go to get more information on it.
