    Step #4 - Resell and Master Rights Product Affiliate Programs

    An Affiliate Program without your own products is possible, but use caution - it is less likely to be a huge earner, than one promoting your own stable of products.

    Why would anyone join an Affiliate Program to promote a resell or master rights product, that they coul
    and physically. They need to rightly judge the benefits of the combination products and they have to even look at the risks involved when combining the produ
    d buy and sell earning 100% of the profits ?

    The answer is reduced effort, time and money.

    An Affiliate Program for resell or master rights products saves the affiliate from having to buy, process, add value to and give customer service to the resell rights product.

    It becomes an easy I'ncome stream that people may want to join.

    The trick in this situation is to



    • Spot a product with selling poten

  • Create the Affiliate Program where the product owner has failed or is incapable of seeing the market opportunity.

    Affiliate partners on the other hand, bring only their desire to promote your products and services.

    However, the practical day to day administration of the two types of programs is very similar.

    For instance:



    • You should coach affiliates and JV partners in the best way to market the products.

    • You must listen to their issues

    and deal with them effectively and efficiently

  • You must make sure they are happy with the program arrangements, in order that they promote it strongly and join up for future promotions.



    JV's and Affiliate programs are different, but only in small details. Treat them with similar care.
