Dear Friend,
Affiliate programs are more than just a "marketing tool" -- they've become an amazing PHENOMENON that is crashing through the internet like a tidal wave! And if you don't have your own affiliate program to promote your products, you're REALLY leaving a lot of money on the table for your competitors to pick up!
When Amazon.com started using an affiliate program back in 1995, who would have guessed affiliate programs would turn into such a powerful FORCE OF NATURE? But they did. I have clients who report sales doubling every month since implementing an affiliate program! Now it's time for you to make a choice . . .
You can either HARNESS that force to drive your sales to unimaginable heights, or you can be beaten down and swept off the face of the internet by them.
There's No Fence Sitting Here . . . You Can't Stand Still.
You can go FORWARD by riding on this tidal wave, or you can do nothing and watch as your online business is blown into oblivion by others with the foresight to do what you would not.
What's your choice?
Look, I don't mean to sound "alarmist" here. But I can GUARANTEE your competition, sooner or later, is going to start THEIR own affiliate program. Shouldn't you start YOUR own affiliate program first?
Just look at the advantages you'll have over your competition if you can beat them to the punch:
You'll have a small ARMY of affiliates promoting your products -- and you don't pay anything for this exposure except when they generate a sale for you!
You'll be able to harness the HUGE traffic some sites generate just by showing them how they'll profit by joining your affiliate program.
You can use your affiliate program to monitor the performance of your own internal advertising -- STOP risking your capital on questionable advertising channels, and focus on the ones that work best!
You'll have a quick and simple way to setup "Joint Ventures" with authorities in your field -- and their recommendations will GREATLY increase your sales conversion!
MOST IMPORTANT: You can "lock in" strategic partners to promote YOUR product! Once you have them promoting YOUR products, it will be difficult for your competition to convince them to change anything -- people don't like to change!
Nothing compares to having your own affiliate program -- it's the ONLY risk-free, performance-based advertising you can get!
Just look at the success a couple of my customers had when they started their own affiliate program:
Now obviously I can't guarantee you'll have the same kind of success as Jim and Steven -- I'm giving you the same tool they used, but the rest is up to you!
It's a Beautiful Thing . . .
The BEAUTIFUL thing about having an affiliate program is that you never pay a dime for advertising UNTIL a sale is made. Your advertising costs are always a fixed and KNOWN percentage of your revenue. You can't lose! The advantages of having your own affiliate program are GLARINGLY OBVIOUS.
Okay, I think I've belabored the point long enough . . . if you're not convinced having your own affiliate program is important to your success, you may as well leave now. Othewise, read on!
Which Affiliate Program Software Should You Get?
The truth is, there are several competing products made by reputable software developers. Some of them have fewer features than my software (which is called "Your Own Affiliate Program") and some have more. But with regards to imlementing the typical affiliate program functions, they're all pretty comparable.
The "common" functions I'm talking about include:
Automation of new affiliate signup and welcome email
Tracking of affiliate traffic and sales via cookies and/or IP files
End of month Affiliate Commission report
"Your Own Affiliate Program" Also Includes These Features:
Two-tier affiliate program possible (but not required) -- allows affiliates to recruit other affiliates and get a commission on their sales
Generates emails sent to affiliates whenever an order is generated from that affiliate's efforts
Replicates web pages so every affiliate has a "duplicate" of your site encoded with their affiliate number
Variable commission rates for products
Ability to assign affiliates to different commission levels
Real-time tracking of sales by administrator and by affiliates
Breakout of sales/commissions numbers by ad code for each affiliate
Simple integration with virtually all payment gateways and shopping carts
Option to process orders through the affiliate software and manually process credit cards later
Member Rewards Option -- allows you to reward your affiliates "points" for sponsoring other affiliates. These "points" can then be redeemed for whatever prizes you make available. (This could be an invaluable tool for you even if you don't run a "traditional" affiliate program!)

Now, what's to set my software apart from everyone else? In a word . . . SUPPORT
Supporting YOU is My Top Priority
I'm a very "anti-hype" person -- which makes it very difficult for me to write a sales letter that actually SELLS! However, I can tell you this without any hesitation or embarrassment: NOBODY gives better software support than I do.
That's not hype -- it's a fact.
Not only that, as a user of various software programs myself, I can tell you that support is one of the MOST CRITICAL factors you should be considering when you make a software purchase!
Again, when you look at the basic affiliate program functions, most software packages have comparable performance. So once you get it setup, it doesn't really matter which program you're using. Until you have a question or a PROBLEM -- and everyone has those at some point. That's when you see what you really bought.
You wouldn't believe some of the "non-support" horror stories I've heard from clients who are switching from another software package to mine. In terms of time, money, momentum, and goodwill with your affiliates, poor technical support could cost you many times what the software cost in the first place.
Here's what one owner of "Your Own Affiliate Program" had to say about my support:
So there you have it . . . I won't claim my software is better than everyone else's, because "everyone else's" is a moving target.
"Your Own Affiliate Program" is $297 -- installation is extra, but most people should be able to do that themselves. Take a look at the pricing page for details . . .
