Setting Up an Ebook Affiliate Program
When you begin marketing your ebook on the Internet, you
can dramatically increase your sales with an affiliate program. An affiliate program will enable you to recruit an entire sales force to market your ebook for you. The great thing about having an affiliate program is that your affiliates work for you on a commission basis. They are paid a specified percentage for each sale they make. If they don't make any sales, they won't get paid.
The key to obtaining affiliates is to offer a nice commission for
each sale. The higher the commissions, the more affiliates
you'll recruit.
There are thousands of affiliate programs on the Internet. In
order to be successful, you must sell your affiliate program
just like your product. In other words, your affiliate letter
should be written like a sales letter.
You must persuade your
visitors to join your affiliate program by packing your affiliate
sales letter with benefits. Tell them exactly what your affiliate
program will do for them, how much commission they will
receive and make the sign-up process simple. Setting Up Your Affiliate Program When you're ready to set up your affiliate program, there are
basically two options. The first option is to purchase an
affiliate software program. Affiliate software will track your
affiliate sales and enable your affiliates to view their stats.
This option requires that you run your affiliate program and
you are responsible for accepting payment and sending out
commission checks. The second option is to use a third party affiliate tracking
company to run your affiliate program for you. These
companies will track your affiliate sales, enable your affiliates
to check their stats and send out commission checks for you. Affiliate Tracking Software AssocTRAC http://www.web-source.net/cgi-bin/web/jump.cgi?ID=2333 Pro-TRACK

Set up an opt-in list to enable them
to subscribe and receive new promotional methods, sales letters
and articles to assist them in making more sales.
This will not
only increase their sales, but it will also enable you to keep in
contact with your affiliates and introduce new products. Nobody knows more about your ebook than you do. Set up a
page on your web site and provide your affiliates with all of the promotional information they'll need to market your ebook. This information might include all of the following: - Banners - Sample ads - Articles - Reviews - Sales letters - Autoresponder courses To further increase sales, create a sample or limited version
of your ebook. This ebook should be used to intrigue and
persuade your readers to purchase the full version.
This can
be accomplished by allowing your readers to only view a
portion of your ebook. In order for them to gain full access
to your ebook, they must purchase the password.
The key to using this technique successfully is to enable your affiliates to customize the sales links within the ebook
with their affiliate information. This will provide your affiliates with a viral marketing tool that they can freely distribute and
earn commissions for years to come. Creating a Customizable Ebook In order to create an ebook that can be customized by your affiliates, your ebook must be in HTML (EXE) format.
In
addition, you must have a special ebook compiler. This
compiler will enable you to specify certain areas within your
ebook that may be customized. When your affiliate downloads
your ebook, they will also need to download an additional software that will be used to place their affiliate information within your ebook. There are very few compilers on the
market that use this technology.
Here are two that I recommend: Ebook Edit Pro
http://www.web-source.net/cgi-bin/web/jump.cgi?ID=2894 Activ E-book
http://www.web-source.net/cgi-bin/web/jump.cgi?ID=105 Both of these compilers will enable you to create an ebook with customizable fields.
Developing your own affiliate program will not only enable you to increase your sales, but it will also drive targeted traffic to your web site. Even if your visitor decides not to
purchase your ebook, they may be interested in some other
products your web site offers. Take your time and select the best affiliate option for your
business. If you'd rather not take the time to run your affiliate
program, you may want to use one of the third party affiliate
companies. This is the easiest route and will enable you to
concentrate on more important things -- like making more sales
and writing new ebooks..
Houston Community College Increases Job Placement
Job placement for certified Network Cabling Specialists from Houston Community College's C-Tech programs were at approximately 50-60% in mid-2001.
This was not acceptable to HCC's Max Saravia, Department Chair of Industrial Electronics, who used DOL/Texas Workforce Commission grants to hire Anna Fowler to improve the rate of job placement for C-Tech programs that produced approximately 200 certified technicians in the past year.
Anna set herself a goal of 85% by June, the end of the academic year.She reached that goal, and more, by the end of May.
How did she do it?
"A lot of hard work!" she says.
She began by calling employers.
In addition to inquiring about job availability, she invited potential employers to visit the HCC Network Cabling Specialist program two weeks before graduation, and some 20-30 employers have done so.
"Once they come," says Anna, "they come back."She also worked hard to establish trust and a connection...
