Press Release Body: If you\'ve surfed the internet long enough, you must\'ve found so
many merchants offering Affiliate Programs. But the tricky thing is to choose the
solid ones for your niche.

This is very important, because your reputation is on stake here! Joining the wrong
affiliate programs will only hurt your online business.

First of all, it is almost impossible for you to collect adequate information's on
those merchant companies. You certainly can\'t investigate them thoroughly. Hence,
you will never be able to predict their successes or failures.

That\'s why you must not stress on one single merchant only within your niche.

Pick a couple of the best quality products to promote. Still, you can do some
critical researches to reduce risk.

OK, now let\'s see how we can pick the goods from the beds. Here are some factors
that influence the dependability of an affiliate program. The more of these factors
are present in a certain program, the more reasons you get to sign up to the
program.

Let\'s see...

1. Great quality products. This is a must. How could you promote something you are
not proud of?

2. Good affiliate sites.

3. Good commissions. Normally, solid merchants offer more than 25% of commissions.

4. Free to join.

5. Great Supports. Solid merchants usually train their affiliates through training
calls, newsletters and other mediums. They also shows your real-time stats and
earnings, send you an email whenever a sale is made.

6. Long-term cookie to lock on the visitors to your site. This way you still can
make sales if your visitors return to your site months later.

7. Monthly payment with realistic minimum.

8. Two-tier commissions. Some merchants give you commissions on your referrals\'
sales. Meaning..if you refer someone to become an affiliate, you can earn commission
every time he makes a sale.
Affiliate Programs - Rags to Riches:

Rags to Riches with Affiliate Programs.

If you do not know what an affiliate program is, it is simply the process of
merchants paying you to bring them sales or leads.

Here is why affiliate marketing is so easy and profitable:



1. Affiliate programs are free to join. The merchants do not charge you to become an
affiliate, because they obviously want you to succeed.

2. Merchants spend hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars in advertising that
very rarely results in a sale. Seen all the commercials on Television? Do you think
everyone who sees it will buy the product? Of course not!

3. Merchants love affiliate programs because they are able to pay you only if a sale
is made. And because this advertising is a guaranteed sale for them, they are able
to pay you very well, usually between 10-30%. They are happy to do so because the
sale has already been made.

4. Since we are still in the early years of affiliate marketing, there is a large
shortage of affiliates. There will be many people who sign up to become an
affiliate, but either do not have the skills or the time to become very successful.
They will then blow off future opportunities simply because they failed with one
affiliate merchant.
