Turning
a Customer into an Affiliate
If you already have an existing customer base, you have undoubtedly put
a lot of time and work into your business. Turning an
existing
customer into an affiliate is a great way to create extra income.
An affiliate is someone who partners with you in order to market and
sell your products or services in exchange for a commission.
Many
businesses use affiliates, as they offer many benefits. It is
essentially having a sales force that you only have to pay when they
produce results.
The biggest benefit of having an affiliate program is that it creates
passive income for you. You have already created the
product. It is the affiliate’s job to market and
sell your
product. Yes, you can do this yourself, but you are only one
person. You can only do so much. Imagine what
having 100
affiliates can do for your business.
One of the best ways to find affiliates is to recruit your past
customers. They have already experienced your product or
service. They obviously saw a need for it, or else they
wouldn’t have bought it in the first place. It will
be
easier for them to market your product as they understand why someone
would want to buy it. Plus, they can provide honest feedback
and
testimonials, which can help to motivate others into buying the product.
Your first step in turning a customer into an affiliate is to create a
quality product. If your customer is satisfied with the
product,
they will be happy to tell others about it. The fact that you
are
offering them a commission to do this is simply icing on the cake.
The type of product you are selling can determine the amount of
commission you offer. If you are offering a digital product,
the
product is easy to distribute and has a low production cost, you can
afford to offer a commission of up to 50%. If you have a
tangible
item that has a shipping cost and takes time and money to reproduce,
you will want to offer a smaller commission.
Let your past customers know you are going to be offering an affiliate
program. You may want to create a guide that explains what an
affiliate is and how they can make money becoming one, as they may not
be familiar with the term. Create an affiliate resource
center
and include a link to it on your website. That way, anyone in
the
future who is interested in becoming your affiliate can easily find the
information and sign up.
Your new affiliates will help you reach new customers and bring in more
sales than you could accomplish by working alone.
