If you are not yet aware what it means to sell information products digitally, it means that someone comes to a web page or a sales letter, they click on the button and then after they pay you some set amount of money, they now have access to your videos, your audios, your reports, your membership site, your forum whatever you decide.
And a great way to get more people to buy from you and have the sales of your product almost spread virally is with an affiliate program. When you are getting an affiliate program I recommend you sign up for both click bank and rapid action profits that way affiliates can easily promote your product and they can even get paid 100% instand viral commissions.
Just so we are on the same page here is what an affiliate program is. It means you pay for referred sales. If you are selling a product for $100 and someone wants to recommend your product or service to someone else they can recommend it with a special link. When someone clicks that link and then buys from you through that affiliate you make that $100 sale, you save $50 yourself and then you pay $50 to someone else.
It is true that you do have to give a percentage of your sale to someone else, but that is a sale you would not have made otherwise. The easiest way to get an affiliate program like this set up is to join a site like clickbank.com. They charge $50 one time to join and then you can now make many times that investment back when others promote you through their special link.
What happens is you join thier site, integrate with your payment system. That might just mean set up a download page and create a special button, or it will mean working it into your membship site software. Once it is set up, people can now promote you. With click bank you can pay out as low as 25% or as high as 75% commission, and once you get a number of sales your product will now appear in the clickbank marketplace and others will see how well it is selling, and if it seems to be a hot seller others will promote it as well.
One thing I recommend to do in addition to be listed on click bank is install the RAP or rapid action profits script. This will allow you to pay out 100% commission to your affiliates. That means if you sell a product for $100 and someone promotes it they will get all $100 and it will paid out instantly into their PayPal account.
To get an affiliate program set up sign up to click bank so you are listed in their marketplace and install RAP or rapid action profits so that you can also pay out 100% commission to your best affiliates.
Before you even think about having an affiliate set up you need to have your website online, Robert Plank will show you how to get it all set up in under 48 hours at www.newbiecrusher.com.
