One Simple Way to Increase Affiliate Recruitment In Your Business

Do you want an easy, nearly risk-free way to grow your business?  All you have to do is increase affiliate recruitment and you’ll reach an audience that you never thought you’d be able to reach ever in your business.

Sounds easy enough, huh?

Well… it is actually.  and in this article I’m going to give you the #1 easiest way to increase affiliate recruitment for your business so that you have an army of people marketing for you around the world.

Plus, you never have to think about it ever again once you set it up.

First things first…

Giving someone 25%, 50%, over even 75% of the revenue that is generated by your company can be a painful thought to most people.  I mean, who gets excited about seeing $500K in sales for your product, only have know that half of that is soon to be gone.

Well here’s the deal…  the beauty of building your referral base is that you have no marketing cost up front.

Think about about all of your other marketing alternatives…  Pay-per-click, CPM, CPA, PPV – even trying to rank organically has a time cost associated with it.

With affiliate marketing you have someone else worrying about the cost. If they are successful, great!  If not, no skin off of your back.

that;s why I love affiliate programs. (among other reasons).

Increase affiliate recruitment automatically

So here is my #1 secret for increasing affiliate recruitment over time.  It has nothing to do with reaching out to people with big email lists (although I get those people).  You won’t have to create JV contests or anything like that.

Remember, if you don’t know me well enough yet, one thing for sure is that I value my time so I try to leverage any type of automation that I can…

Here is the secret that has helped me to grow my referral base and expand my business tremendously over time in ways I never thought possible.

…..

Invite people to become an affiliate in the second email autoresponder message they get after they buy a product from you (or after they sign up for your free opt-in).

Yes… it’s that simple, and it works. Let me give you a quick example.

Last year someone bought one of my WordPress plugins that I sell (Magic Action Box) and they contacted me the next day after they became and affiliate.  They wanted to know whether or not I could handle an influx of customers without them getting upset.

I said yes…

A week later I had an additional 500 sales for the product without me having to lift a finger. (by the way the product sells for $47 and $97 dollars).

Don’t be afraid to ask… automatically

Here’s the deal.  If you are an introvert like me, or if you just don’t want to bother trying to increase affiliate recruitment yourself, adding an autoresponder message in the second message they get is one of the easiest ways to grow your referral program that I know of.

It works, and best of all I never have to actively recruit affiliates manually.  They try the product, they love the product, they market the product, and I get to enjoy time with my family.
