Post subject: One Or Two Tire Affiliate Programs?
|
 |
|
Here is a question for all of you great affiliates:
Would you take a high % one tire affiliate program over lower two tire or vise versa?
I mean if I had a program that pays 50% commission and no second tire, would you take it over program that pays 40% commission and 20% second tire?
The reason I ask is that I'm launching a new e-book that I've been testing with great results in the PPC search engines (I always test product thoroughly before inviting affiliates, to make sure they actually sell). So now it's time to choose how I promote the affiliate program. And because I'm sure many of you'll be promoting it, I wanted to ask YOU how you would like the commission range to be.
* Do you prefer 1 or 2 tire program?
* How high % is motivating in 1 tire?
* How high % is motivating in 2 tire?
... and other comments you can give me!
The price and conversion matter of course. It's sold for $49 and has 1.8% on the average in the PPC engines.
Most of my products have been big success and generated good cash for me and my affiliates. I hope to make this one even better.
To OUR success,
Christian

Hi,
Generally, I don't even look at what the 2nd tier pays. The products I promote aren't "marketer" related, so very few people would be interested in joining below me to promote the same product.
Just my thoughts...

Personally I'm getting "tired" of trying to work out how stupid you think we are...
Christian, you provide us with nowhere near enough information to judge which model we'd prefer. This post simply says to me "click the link in my sig", so why not just put the link in the body and make Wally's job easier? (Rhetorical question.)
Have you bothered reading the posting guidelines or are you just choosing to ignore them? What's the principal reason for starting this thread?
Wally, how much more "blatant" can it get?
Just my opinion,
Charlie.
P.S. Maybe if none of us responded to these sort of "tactics", Wally's clean up job would be much simpler.

Hi Charlie,
I'm sorry if I've offended you in any way.
Maybe I've missed something since I haven't posted here for some time. Unfortunately I forgot my older username and couldn't find it in my emails.
The purpose of this post was get the reality about if two tire programs really grabbed any attention. Little bit like if I was selling ice cream, I would probably go to the supermarket and ask my potential customers if they liked more staberry or vanilla.
Some marketing Gurus advise two tire but like Robert pointed out it's not really beneficial to most affiliates with non marketing products.
Okay, here are more detailed information ...
1) This is an ebook in the traveling field. Here is the url
[URL deleted - it's in the sig. file - Moderator]
(I guess this post will long be gone down when I've set up a real affiliate program to it so posting an url should be okay)
The conversion in PPC engines average at 1.67%
Friend who posted in very related newsletter got 5,12%
So this should give a little more detailed information on my personal situation although my main purpose was to get insight into the thinking of the affiliate marketing business and if 2 tire really attracted.
Best regards,
Christian

Christian, please read the forum instructions.
http://www.AssociatePrograms.com/discus/ftopic5289.html
They apply whether you're discussing one-tier or two-tier programs.
Tires are on American cars. They're off topic.

Thank you Allan, maybe I should go into the automobile business  ---
My first language is Icelandic and this is the kind of spelling mistakes I tend to do (don't show up in spell check which I always run through with every post).
So the right question should be if one or two TIER affiliate programs are more attractive.
Best regards,
Christian

If it is a smaller, less competitive niche... I am focusing on the product - so tiers dont matter.
If it is in a very hot and competitive market - I love multi tier programs. I'm more likely to do JV brokering, or market to the mass of webmasters in the niche, than to try to compete for the sales. (easy money - less work  )

Don't confuse the poor man! 
"Multi" is Latin for "many". A two-tier program doesn't have "many" tiers.

Not so much offended, but frustrated.
It's impossible to separate honest mistakes from devious trickery, as time has shown. Only time can tell.
The second factor is when people offer themselves up as willing hostages, to be used as cover. I suspect Wally prefers a clear shot, to keep things clean.
Another analogy might have been "surgeon versus butcher", but this is enough of a bloody mess already...
I have no problem with you, or the question.
Cheers,
Charlie.

What a refreshing change from the conventional appraoch of "one flake or two".

Thank you Charlie. I understand your concerns and frustration since I hate spam ... waste the only thing you can't get enough of and can't buy: TIME!!!
Allen; thank you for your support, my small brain doesn't need more confusion than it already has on a daily bases and my Latin is even worse than my English (plus I'm not into MLM)
Lynn; good point ... crowded niche would probably be better for two tier program when selling a good new product when non crowded niche (like the product I'm thinking of) would probably be more profitable to use one tier.
I guess I go with one tier, around 50% commission using Click Bank like I've done successfully in the past. I'll sleep on it.
Thanks,
Christian
