Affiliate Programs: The Net’s Favorite Marketing Method

A reader sent me this question from the Expert area of Staples.com:

“I’m thinking of starting my own affiliate or referral program. I know what the rewards are but what could be the risks in doing this?”

Referral and affiliate programs are the number one marketing method on the Web. If someone promotes your business and helps you sell a product or service, you give them a cut of the sale. Commissions range from 5% to 75% in some cases.

There are a number of firms that will set up your affiliate program with software to track sales. SimpleAffiliate.com has a very low-cost system. MyAffiliateProgram.com is easy to set up and very reliable.

Of course, there are some downsides as you mention. With so many companies offering affiliate programs, it can be a challenge to get people excited about yours. Your best bet is to create a specialized referral program that appeals to a core group of business people. For example, if you sell computer software, you could create a program directed at teachers or computer repair outlets.
