Which Affiliate Networks Are Worth Promoting

Beyond my own rancid affiliate marketing experiences there are many other horror stories about
affiliate programs and networks. People have heard so much of these daunting stories that some
are even wary of joining one. The stories they may have heard are those related to illegal programs
or pyramid schemes. Basically, this kind of market does not have a real worthy product.

You do not want to be associated with these schemes. It is obvious you want to be with a program
that offers high quality products that you will readily endorse. The growing number of those who have
joined already and are succeeding immensely is proof enough that there are reliable and quality affiliate
programs out there.

Should you participate in an affiliate program?

It allows you to work part-time. It gives you the opportunity to build a generous residual income. And it
makes you an owner of a small business. Affiliate programs have already created lots of millionaires.
They are the living testimony of how hard work; continuous prospecting, motivating and training others
pay off.

If ever you are deciding to join one, you must take note that you are getting into something that is
patterned to what you are capable of. This will be an assurance that you are capable of doing anything
to come out successful.

How do you choose a good affiliate program to promote? Here are some tips you may want to look
over before choosing one:

1. A program that you like and have interest in. One of the best ways of knowing if that is the kind of
program you wish to promote is if you are interested in purchasing the product yourself. If that is the
case, chances are, there are many others who are also interested in the same program and products.

2. Look for a program that is of high quality. For instance, look for one that is associated with many
experts in that particular industry. This way, you are assured that of the standard of the program you
will be joining into.

3. Join in the ones that offer real and viable products. How do you know this? Do some initial research,
and if possible, track down some of the members and customers to give you a testimonial on the
credibility of the program.

4. The program that is catering to a growing target market. This will ensure you that there will be more
and continuous demands for your referrals. Make inquiries. There are forums and discussions you can
participate in to get good and reliable feedbacks.

5. A program with a compensation plan that pays out a residual income and a payout of 30% or more
would be a great choice. There are some programs offering this kind of compensation. Look closely for
one. Do not waste your time with programs that do not reward substantially for your efforts.

6. Be very aware of the minimum quotas that you must fulfill or sales target that is too hard to achieve.
Some affiliate programs imposes pre-requisites before you get your commissions. Just be sure that
you are capable of attaining their requirements.

7. Select one that has plenty of tools and resources that can help you grow the business in the shortest
possible time. Not all affiliate programs have these capacities. Make sure you decide on one with lots
of helpful tools that you can use.

8. Check out if the program has a proven system that can allow you to check your networks and
compensation. Also check if they have it available online for you to check anytime and anywhere.

9. The program that is offering strong incentives for members to renew their membership each time. 
Affiliate programs that provide continuous help and upgrades for its products have a tendency to retain
its members. These things can assure the growth of your networks.

10.  Be aware of the things that members are not happy about in a program. Like with the ones mentioned
above, you can do your checking at discussion forums. If you know someone in that same program, there
is no harm in asking if there are many downsides involved.

Be sure to have a thorough and intensive knowledge about the affiliate program and network you will
be promoting.  

Knowing the kind of program you are getting yourself into will make you anticipate and prevent any future
problems you may encounter.
