How to choose an affiliate

Hi there. I manage several groups on Facebook and currently looking for affiliates. Can anyone give any advice? The subjects of the groups are quite different, like fashion for guys, computer games, pets and aquariums, jokes, restaurants and food, travelling, cars and gadgets, robot toys and other types of adult toys, sports, yachting. There is quite a big choice. The subscribers are mostly from the US, less are from Europe (mainly GB). The number of subscribers for each group starts at 50 thousands and finishes at 200 thousand. I'm looking for a reliable affiliate, preferrably with a possibility to get the payment on Webmoney or/and Epayments. What would you recommend? The affiliate doesn't necessarily have to be the same subject as the group.

This field is totally new to me, I don't really know what to start with, so I'd appreciate any advice.

5 Tips To Choose The Best Affiliate Programs:

1 – Start with the products and services

..Do you know exactly what you’re selling?
..Is it a good product or service?
..Have you personally used it? If not, would you buy it yourself?
..Does it have a good call-to-action sales letter and professional site?
..Does it have a money-back guarantee?
..Do they have easily accessible customer service?
..Is the checkout procedure smooth and fluid?

Take a real hard look at the products or services being sold. Make sure you want to be associated with the product because if you don’t believe in it nobody will believe your sales pitch. Google the company and products/services and see what people are saying about the product(s) online. Trust is the key to affiliate marketing so make sure the programs you recommend are going to make people happy and are refundable for those who aren’t.

2 – Compare the commission rates and payment schedules

Obvious but important. Don’t just default to the high commission product in the category. Pick the one you think is the best for you. Find out the threshold for payment, payment frequency, payment method, and other factors so you know how and when you’ll be paid. Also familiarize yourself with their chargeback policy which will be detailed in their affiliate terms.

3 – Look at the affiliate management

Is there an affiliate manager who can help you or is the program managed by an affiliate network? Can you get immediate help with any issue or do you have to wait 72 hours to get a return email? I actually joined an affiliate program once who’s staff never ever returned any of my phone calls or emails. That’s some bull$hit you’ll want to avoid.

4 – Read the affiliate terms

You don’t have to spend an entire week reading the entire legal document but at least review the most important factors such as:

Rules and guidelines of the program – especially related to the type of advertising allowed, CAN-SPAM compliance, and keyword bidding limitations
The lifespan of your affiliate cookie which tracks your sale
Chargeback procedures for buyer returns

5 – Do they have good affiliate tools and training?

Is the affiliate dashboard well laid out and easy to navigate?
Do they track your clicks and trends for you?
Do you get email notifications of sales? Not all of them do including
Do they have quality banners and linking tools?
Do they have tutorials (preferably video) to help you get started?

Choosing the best offshoot to arrange for your business implies understanding the esteem each system and how they separate themselves in the commercial center. Making a basic grid will enable you to better assess distinctive offshoot arranges so you can choose the best for your requirements.
