How to treat customers as an affiliate - By: Gudrun

There are thousands of companies making products and don´t spend a lot on ads them self but ask people like me and you to promote the product for them and pay us part of the income for each sale. This has been going on for at least 10 years and still seems to work fine. At least there are millions of people promoting products on almost every website and some of those ads must give some profit I guess.

How to choose a product
When you start looking for a product to promote you must remember to think about your customers. What do they want and more important what do they NEED? When you come up with a product you must ask yourself; is this something my customers need? You put yourself in your customers shoes. If your customers are people making money online then you have to think about what could make them make even more money online or something that helps them do their job for example. Then you could also think about if your customers are beginners or if they have been making money online for many years because then they don´t need some of the products that the beginners might need.

Believe in your product
Another thing you have to ask yourself when choosing a product is Would you buy that product yourself? And would you recommend it to your best friend? If the answer to either of these questions is NO then you probably haven´t come up with a good product to sell. You have to answer both these questions with a YES because if you do then you believe that product is worth buying it and you believe that its useful for your customers. Then it´s also easy for you to convince your customers that this is a good product.

How to treat a customer
When you have found a good product that you believe in then you have to promote it. Let´s say you have a website or just a blog and you want to promote your product there. Because you believe in your product then you can tell your customer everything about it. And remember, you are promoting something your customer needs. Then you have to tell him why that product is good for him, what are the benefits for him. Would his life be better and easier if he bought your product? Just tell your customer what you would tell your best friend if you were selling your product to him because your customer IS YOUR BEST FRIEND! You are getting money if your customer is happy. Otherwise he goes someplace else.

Happy customer – Future customer
Never underestimate your customer, think of them as clever persons who want to spend their money on products that they will be happy they bought. Then they think of you as a brilliant person because you sold them that great product that worked so well for them and they are willing to spread your link to all their friends having same problem as they were. And most important, that happy customer is likely coming back to your site and perhaps he will buy something else from you.

If you offer poor product and someone buys it then it´s not likely he is satisfied with it and he is not likely to come back to your site and buy something else from you. And he will probably tell his friends not to buy anything from you because you don´t offer good products.
