Ranging from product creation, affiliate marketing, teleseminars, financial matters, I know in my own business I&#8217;ve come upon hundreds of business questions that I wish I could know the answer to. So, in this article I am going to answer two questions I&#8217;ve had about affiliate marketing. <\/p>\n<p>Here is the first question:<\/p>\n<p>What is the best way to promote someone else&#8217;s product when you are one of their affiliates?<\/p>\n<p>There are a number of different ways to promote somebody else&#8217;s products. Using teleseminars is a very effective way. Using videos is another effective way. Doing solo email campaign, that is just as effective as well. So there are many different ways to do it.<\/p>\n<p>You want to find the method that will have the best impact or response from your list. Personally, I like to do use teleseminars because it enables people to have interaction and allows you to really get across the value of the product you are promoting. Using video can allow you to have this option to and people respond very well to videos because they feel more intimate than an email. Videos are something I use for almost every promotion I do. <\/p>\n<p>As an affiliate myself, I will only promote products that I have either bought, used or benefited from myself. To be able to give an honest opinion and evaluation of the product I have to have used it and really know what it is about. <\/p>\n<p>If I am promoting a product that I have not bought, received any value from or even seen, then I am recommending it without ever using it myself. It can put you in an awkward situation if you know nothing about the product. So for me, I only promote products that I have seen myself, used myself or benefited for myself and I would encourage others to do the same because then you can promote from a situation when, &#8220;Here&#8217;s the product. Here&#8217;s how I&#8217;ve used it. Here&#8217;s the result that I&#8217;ve got. Here&#8217;s how it can benefit you,&#8221; and I think that is a much stronger pitch, if you will, as an affiliate than just saying, &#8220;Hey, I heard about this great product. Go, get it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As you can see there are a lot of different methods you can use when promoting other people&#8217;s products. Find what works best for you and I recommend actually having personal experience someway with the product. <\/p>\n<p>Here is the second question:<\/p>\n<p>What is a good percentage to offer someone whose list is very attractive to what you are trying to sell?<\/p>\n<p>It depends. Affiliates and JV partners, naturally, they are going to want to be able to get as much as they can and the more you give the more an incentive it is for them, the more they want to promote. Likewise, you have to look at your profitability. In some cases, you cannot afford to give away massive amounts of your revenue because it does not make sense when you are looking at the product cost, the time cost and that nature. <\/p>\n<p>My advice to you there, sit down and think through how much you can afford to give away and then look to maximize that as much as possible because the bigger commission, the more interest you will gain from JV partners and affiliates.<\/p>\n<p>To get more of your affiliate marketing questions answered and more, check out www.InstantBusinessAnswers.com<\/p>\n<div class='uawresource'>\n<div style='italic;' class='uawabout'>About the Author:<\/div>\n<div class='uawlinks'>To find out more answers to all yourr  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.instantbusinessanswers.com\">business questions<\/a> check out Instant Business Answers.
