Are you an affiliate marketer? Is promoting other people's products your line of work online? If yes, are you having a hard time earning money being an affiliate marketer? I know I do. I am newbie in the business of promoting other people's products and yet I am already frustrated. I have been promoting products for almost 2 months now and I have yet to see someone buy the product I am promoting. I know I am not alone. I know that there are thousands of affiliate marketers that do not earn the money they expect or they wanted to earn. This is the reason why I am calling all frustrated or disappointed affiliate marketers to list down here your request to Online vendors that will help us promote their products easier. For me, my proposal if for Online vendors to have a special program for those who sign up to be an affiliate for the products they want to sell. I am proposing that Affiliates be given a free trial period for the products we want to promote or free trial membership for sites or clubs we want to promote. The trial period could be even just from 2 weeks to 1 month. By allowing the affiliates to try the products, affiliates can have a hands-on experience of the product and thus affiliates can effectively assess if the product or site lives up to what the advertisement claims it can deliver. Affiliates can then better promote the product which will result to higher chances of convincing potential consumers to buy the product and thus would result to higher sales for the Online vendors and higher earnings for the affiliates. The consumer also benefits from this as they are better informed of the products they are buying. This would result to a win-win-win situation for the consumers, for the online vendors and for the affiliates. I have written an blog, entitled, "An Affiliate's Open Letter to Online Vendors" wherein I have two proposals listed there to make Affiliate's life easier. You can check out my blog, http://promotingproductsonline.blogspot.com. What about you my co-affiliate marketers? Do you have a wishlist you want to relay to the Online Vendors?
