If you are
the owner or associate of an Industry related web site, The Cajun Supermarket
Affiliate Program will pay up to 10% commission on every sale you
refer. Your visitors will get the best value, selection, shipping options,
and customer service in the Industry, so they will return to your site
again and again.
Associate
and affiliate programs are the fastest growing segment of Internet commerce.
They allow website owners to partner with retailers and offer products
and services to their visitors. This mutually beneficial relationship
generates a broad audience for the seller and hassle free income for the
associates.
The seller processes all orders, handles shipment and collections and
provides a commission to the referring website owner. The affiliate or
associate promotes the sellers business through banners and or text links
at their site and through advertising via newsletters, websites and other
channels.
How do I Participate?
While this varies with each program, the general process is as follows:
Select a program which you find appealing and that compliments your
site.
Review the program details and terms carefully.
Fill out an application.
The seller may review your site to determine its suitability for the
program.
The seller will provide you with Banners and linking instructions.
Place the banners or text links on your site in locations where they
will be viewed by the highest number of visitors (generally top of the
page).
As an Associate you now actively promote the product or service, this
is extremely important as just posting a banner will rarely produce
a huge income stream. See Associate Tips for advice on how to maximize
your results.

How much money can I expect to earn from Associate Programs?
1. Traffic at your site. Without an adequate number of visitors (300
to 500 per day generally) to your site you probably will not earn much
if any commissions, therefore it is imperative to develop a site which
will appeal to a wide audience and promote it each and every day. Consider
joining banner exchanges or programs that boost the amount of traffic
you receive such as the Special Report Network. Getting your site listed
with all the major search engines is also a must for attracting the most
visitors possible. Super Promote will submit your site to nearly 17,000
search engines and directories world wide providing you with Maximum Exposure
for a very reasonable cost, consider using this service to get noticed.
2. Your level of commitment and effort. Merely posting a banner or two
on your site and sitting back waiting for a check will generate very little
income. You can earn a substantial income on the Internet, but it will
require effort on your part.
A few good tips are:
Promote
your site and the programs daily.
A few lines
of personal endorsement followed by a text link to the program will
generate much better results then banners alone.
Advertise
your main site or the programs in Ezines and online publications.
Learn and
apply all you can about promoting your online business. Excellent resource
materials and learning programs are now available that will maximize
your chances of success and minimize the work required. We recommend
the following resources for anyone interested in affiliate program marketing:
