Many people find it very difficult to select the best affiliate program for them. These powerful affiliate marketing tips will enable you to clearly determine which affiliate program best suit your unique needs.

When choosing the right affiliate program, consider their:

Check 1: Company & Product

To ensure maximum profitability of your affiliate marketing business, the company and products that you choose must be easily marketable to prospects and you must find out more about the company and products.

- Is the company stable?

Is it a new or an established company?

Fly-by-night company?

-What is the review of their product?

What are they selling?

Is it an Electronic Book? Or are they selling a Membership, Or are they selling a Product?

You need to make sure that if the company sells information, the information is not duplicated.

You can do your research by going to Google and type "reviews on company/URL". You may also check them out at affiliate marketing forums and look at reviews by other affiliates of that affiliate program.

Choosing the best affiliate program for you also dependant on how much effort you wish to put in to the marketing.

Check 2: Compensation / Commission Plan

You also have to consider the kind of compensation /commission plan the affiliate program is offering. There are a few kinds:

- Direct Commission Based:This commission system pays you a one time/ recurring fixed percentage of price on each and every sale made through your affiliate link. Commission can range from 30%-75%.

- 2 Tier Compensation Plan: more and more companies are adopting this new compensation plan. This plan gives you commission on every sale made through your link. And if your customer also becomes an affiliate of the company, you will receive another commission on his/her sale.

Use affiliate directories to find affiliate products. You can search affiliate directories such as ClickBank and Commisssion Junction for products.

Check 3: Support & Training

Another consideration you probably have to consider is the level of support and training the company gives. Some basic support and training you should look out for are;

- Emailing script

- Advertising Banners

- Online statistic tracking system

- Marketing Resources

- Backend system and customer service

- etc...

Having a good training and support system from the company is crucial for marketers to promote the affiliate product. It helps to increase the skils and ease of promoting.

Check 4: Payment Methods & Punctuality

This is by far the most important criteria of credible affiliate marketing program!! I can't use words to emphasize or describe how important this is. But it is very very important! Got the point?

The most important thing you need to find out is the payment! You need to find out how the affiliate program pays. No point marketing a product when your efforts won't be rewarded. Find out how does the company pay affiliates. You can ask existing affiliates about the affiliate program. Some company use ClickBank and PayPal to pay out affiliates commissions.

You should join an affiliate program that gives you timely payments, provides relevant training and marketing support to you. All the best in your affiliate career!
