If you've been working online for any length of time youknow that one of the best and fastest ways to make moneywith your products is to offer an affiliate program.So let me ask you this - how do *you* treat your affiliates?You might be asking yourself what I mean. After all, youoffer them a great commission on their sales, and you'vegot a terrific product line for them to offer theircustomers, right?But how do you *treat* them?Do you answer their e-mails when they have questions orproblems? If not, you could be losing some potentially goodaffiliates. Would *you* try to help someone make money ifthey won't even bother to give you the time of day?Are they just a number to you?Do you look at your sales and say to yourself, "Affiliate#2872 brought in over $1,000 for me yesterday. Cha-ching!But affiliate #8679 has never made one sale. Too bad, sosad."Did it ever occur to you that without these people youwouldn't be making as much money as you do? You, alone,can't reach the entire world with your products. Isn't thatwhy you started your affiliate program in the first place?Even the woman who only sells one product a year brings inmoney for *you.* And chances are, you have severalaffiliates like that. So you're making alot more sales eventhough each of them may only make one or two.Maybe affiliate #8679, who has never sold any of yourproducts, could use a little help from you. You know yourproducts better than anyone else, so why not give him somepointers to help him sell those products?Sorry, but those "canned" ads you supply don't count as"helping" your affiliates. What I mean is, you should letyour affiliates know you're available to answer anyquestions they may have. And then, for Heaven's sake,answer them! They only want to be treated like human beings.Helpful hint: in addition to the ads you supply youraffiliates, write a page of tips to help them make sales.Not everyone can be a "super affiliate" but with someguidance the "little guys" could probably sell more of*your* products. It's a win/win situation for both of you.And more importantly, it builds your affiliates trust in*you.* The more they trust you and believe in you, as aperson, the harder they'll try to sell your products. Andthe harder they try, the more likely they are to succeed.So, let me ask you again. How do *you* treat youraffiliates?
