Beware of the affiliate scams

I’ll never forget how idealistic I was when I first started doing affiliate marketing.

I didn’t slow down to read the affiliates’ terms of services or any of the fine print. I just plunged in, assuming money would come pouring in 24/7.

After I made my first sale I logged in with great excitement, only to realize I wouldn’t get paid until I made at least five sales. Not only that, the payments had to come from all the major credit card companies (AmEx, Visa, Mastercard), and purchases made
with PayPal didn’t count toward the five sales.

Needless to say my enthusiasm was dampened a bit.

And it seemed like every sale for the next several
weeks was made with a PayPal payment.

Finally someone bought a product using Mastercard and
I received my affiliate first check and my sales have
only continued to grow.

But since then I’ve learned to read the affiliate
agreements very carefully so that I know what to
expect.

I’ve also learned that there are three common
affiliate scams out there and I want to give you a
heads up about them today:

1. Inadequate tracking. Sometimes affiliates won’t
track your cookies for very long. So if you have an
affiliate link on a review site or in an autoresponder
email, the sale won’t register beyond the first 30 or
60 days.

Make sure your affiliate networks and companies track
your cookies for at least a year but preferably for
life.

2. High payout thresholds. Some companies won’t pay
you until you’ve sold $100, $1000 or even more of
product. Look for companies with low payout thresholds
instead. For example, Clickbank has a payout threshold
of only $10 (the default is $100 so you will have to
manually adjust it to $10).

3. Infrequent payments. It’s not uncommon for
companies and networks to pay on a quarterly or even
annual basis. It’s much nicer to receive payments
regularly. Clickbank will pay you weekly, bi-weekly or
monthly. This is the kind of flexibility you want.

Trust me, this information will give you a head start
as you review which products you want to promote.

And to really set you apart from the crowd, I can’t
