Add an Affiliate Program to Your eBook Business

There are many reasons to write an eBook for your online business. Plenty of internet marketers enjoy the steady, residual income eBooks provide. But what is the best way to boost your eBook profits without cranking out new ones on a regular basis?

After you have written your eBook, consider adding an affiliate program to your residual income business model. Affiliate programs are designed to add value to your business because it opens the door for other internet marketers to promote your eBook for you.

Your affiliate makes money from each sale of your eBook while you are spending less on advertising and promotion. Even better, affiliate links can be inserted in website articles, blog posts, emails, reports, advertisements, and even other eBooks. As these links begin to spread throughout the internet, you will see more and more traffic to your eBook residual business (which means long term residual income).

How much to pay affiliates? Payout rates to affiliates vary greatly depending on the industry. With information products expect commissions in the range of 25 - 75%. It is important to note that the greater the payout, the more affiliates you will attract to your program.

There are a handful of marketplaces to consider when choosing a trusted third party to handle your tracking, checkout, and commission payments. ClickBank offers one of the largest networks of affiliates to promote your residual income business. But there are others to consider such as Commission Junction, PayDotCom, E-junkie, and Digital Product Delivery. Each will charge you a small fee per sale for this service.

Adding an affiliate program to your eBook residual income business is a win-win for both you and other internet marketers because it produces a recurring revenue stream for all involved. The keys to building a successful affiliate program are to pay your affiliates well and to have a website and sales letter that make selling easy.

Affiliates are happy. You're happy. Enough said?
