The 100% Guaranteed Affiliate Tracking System That Costs $20 a Month
If you have an affiliate program, then your follow up system to email inquiries is crucial. I use a service by Tom Kulzer called Aweber, http://aweber.com. It allows me to follow up on emails automatically and is one of the most effective ways to put your business on autopilot.

In a few weeks I'm about to release a new affiliate tracking system that is based on the tradition of direct response marketing.
This system is 100% effective, has absolutely perfect tracking, and requires just two skills:
- . Writing the messages
- Managing the database of names
Here's how it works. Most affiliate programs rely solely on banner advertising; I've found that email is one of the most effective marketing tools. The goal of this affiliate program is to create opt-in lists that track the order to the affiliate from first contact.
In order to get the best of both worlds, I'm combining the banner ad and the email form into a single unit that looks just like a banner ad. The top has a graphic, the middle has a place for a name and email, and the bottom is another graphic.
The scenario is simple:
A. The affiliate places this banner ad/form on their site and simply types in their identifying code in one place in the form.
B. The call to action is a free newsletter offer which is prominently placed on the affiliates site.
C. The visitor at the Web Site fills in the form and is immediately sent to the free report Web Page.
D. An autoresponder is sent immediately, with another copy of the report.
E. The visitor is then contacted with a series of opt-in messages; they can opt-out at any time with the click of a mouse.
F. The affiliate's code is sent with the form and downloaded into a leads database. When someone buys, their email and name is compared to the leads database, and a credit given for the sale.
This system requires no cgi, no cookies, and no fancy programming. It does require good writing, attention to detail, ability to work with a database, and the energy to inform affiliates when a sale is made. There will be no online statistics, but monthly reporting will share the number of inquiries and sales made. You will have to manually notify your affiliates, but the value in terms of pure sales will more than compensate for the lighter statistical reporting. Plus it will most likely increase your SellThrough for your affiliates, a good compromise.
The cost of this is just $20 for the online follow-up email system per month. Each email is personalized and in my initial tests, over 400 people opted in with no one asking to be removed.
The messages mix commercial content and a call to action, to visit the Web Site, with Internet marketing strategies. It is all part of my latest training system coming out in December.
