2. Your Allies

Recruiting an army of sub-affiliates should be one of your first actions when you start affiliate marketing with VodaHost and the reason is simple. When anyone you refer to VodaHost becomes a member of the VodaHost affiliate program they will automatically become your sub-affiliates and you will make 15% of whatever commission they make; it’s all tracked by our tracking software. For example, if one of your sub-affiliates makes $1000 in commissions, YOU will make $150 for doing absolutely nothing (talk about low workload!)! To get started recruiting your affiliate allies, sign-in to your brand new affiliate account and click “Email Friends & Associates” from the menu on the left and get the word out!

3. The Plan

Like any great strategy, victory means starting with a battle-plan. You should think hard about how you are going to get word out to your friends and colleagues about VodaHost (on your website?, via e-mails?) and over what time period. DON’T just send one e-mail containing your affiliate link out to 100 people and leave it at that. Send them out in small bunches and always send out reminders too. You can also vary your e-mails, sending a few people to the VodaHost site and a few to the BlueVoda site and then swap them over (click here for some really helpful ways to drive prospective customers to where they need to be). Know too how you plan to represent VodaHost over time and always take into account any new contacts you may make as you go (everybody should hear of VodaHost!).

You should also think about what keywords you are going to use in general to market VodaHost. If the information you send out to people about is boring, they most likely aren’t going to sign up but an excited, positive e-mail will have fantastic results. You need to think and plan ALL of these things. We at VodaHost are great believers in the philosophy: Always plan your work and always work your plan!

4. Target Audience

While the best place for your affiliate link is in ads and banners on your website because then you are targeting customers the world over, an e-mail campaign is an excellent way to earn some commissions. In doing this, though, who are you planning to target? You should always pick the people who you believe will take up web-hosting with VodaHost or those who have a need for web hosting; people who own or are starting up a small business, for instance or people who have web hosting already but may be looking for a better deal. People with an active hobby, for example, are great web hosting prospects; VodaHost is such a great company to market because our web hosting is straight forward, user-friendly and absolutely anybody can use our services and tools to build and host a fantastic website. Always decide who the people are who are going to be the ones who will take up VodaHost (when they do, you get money) and while everybody you know should receive an e-mail, there will be those people who you’ll want to concentrate your “fire-power” on.

5. Subject Matter

If you’re using your website to promote VodaHost to your visitors you should place your adverts and banners somewhere where they will be seen and admired. Don’t put a VodaHost advert on a random page that is unconnected to the idea of having a website. Place it where it is going to be see or on a location. The home page is the best place for a good banner (“Powered by VodaHost”, for example) because the home page of a well designed website will always conjure ideas of the perceived technical mastery that goes into web hosting. The Contact or Links page of your website is another great location for ads and banners too, as people visit these pages when they are looking for extra information. Always consider whether the location of your website banner is a help or a hindrance and if you think it’s location probably won’t yield and results, CHANGE IT!

6. Persistence

Always keep going with your affiliate marketing of VodaHost because the more you promote VodaHost the more affiliate income you are going to make. Do not be disheartened if for the first few days, or maybe even weeks, don’t yield any sales. Keep on working your plan and the rewards will come.

So let’s get going!

Get signed up, recruit your affiliates and start making yourself some money! There are plenty of ads and banners to adorn your website with at VodaGold.com as well as plenty of great ideas for your e-mail links and website. As you work there may be many battles along the way; the trick is to win the W.A.R.

Good Luck!
