Affiliate software the ultimate affiliate help in affiliate promotion.

Are you getting tired of being bombarded like I am with all of those supposedly Internet marketing �get rich� secret formulas or strategies? Who do you believe anymore? I have tried it all. If I had one dollar for each of the broken promises or things that I tried, that was supposed to work and did not work, that alone would have made me rich. I think, for most people, one of the worst feelings in the world is the experience when they realize that they have been taken.

Before I go any further, allow me to make you a promise and back it up with a guarantee. My promise to you is, your experience with my product will be a very positive experience because before you buy from me, I am going to request that you visit with my existing clients, inspect their sites and even email them. I want you to ask them about their experience with my products, my quick support response, and their personal experience in dealing with me. Don�t be afraid to ask them - They are so pleased with the results, they love to share their experiences with others in the hope that you too will become successful by implementing Pro-TRACK as part of your sales strategy.

Once you have talked to them you will agree that this is the best guarantee you can have. However, read on and find out all of the other ways I guarantee my product where you simply cannot lose. In fact, hear what Dave Euse, with
http://www.SearchAstate.com, has to say about his experience with Pro-TRACK�

I want to share with you our recent successful experience in implementing Pro-TRACK, our Associate Program sales and tracking system. In a matter of a few weeks our sales force has multiplied itself by hundreds.

In our effort to promote SearchAstate.com & SearchAZ.com nothing else we have tried has produced such immediate and promising results. Our primary goal in implementing our associate program, of course, was to increase our sales and membership. What we discovered and received is nothing short of astounding.

What surpassed our expectations was that by signing new associates to our program, not only are they promoting our services, but they also contribute in elevating our search engine ranking and popularity. If our associate has a high ranking and a lot of traffic at their site, we also benefit because our banner or tile link is being displayed on their site.

We benefit from both their site traffic and their high ranking. Our affiliate associates do much of the work for us. In addition, one of the criteria that elevates the ranking of your site in search engines is your link popularity, meaning how many times your link is displayed or promoted on other sites. Our new associate program does just that with our banners now being displayed on hundreds of our affiliate sites.

The best part is that an associate tracking software, like Pro-TRACK, is very inexpensive, easy to install and most e-commerce businesses can recover the cost of the software the same week it was installed. In some cases on the same day!

"Our experience with the Pro-TRACK software I am happy to say far exceeded our expectations. Normand Charette developer of Pro-TRACK's initial training and ongoing support of the system made the addition of the program much more organized and efficient for our staff to use and maintain.

We would highly recommend it to anyone looking to maximize their marketing exposure efforts.

Like many of you I was eager to get my e-commerce going so I tried the classifieds, the newsgroups, the famous FFA pages and Ezine advertising. All produced some results, but nowhere near what was promised in the advertisement letter. I would always wind up with more months left at the end of the money. In other words, it never brought in enough money to pay for my monthly bills. I barely broke even to pay my internet advertising expenses.

Then one day I when I was feeling totally deceived and frustrated, I sat at McDonald�s having a hamburger and seriously contemplated Internet Bankruptcy. I was ready to quit and put my mouse up for sale as I thought I never would go over the $50 a day barrier. I was saying to myself, �HOW can I be as successful as McDonald�s?� Then I proceeded in answering my own question. That�s right. I said to myself, �What makes McDonald�s so successful?� The answer came loud and clear from a voice inside of me - �Because they have a time tested system and they have more than one store.�

Okay, I have an online ordering system and I am selling an average of one product a day- So that is in place�How can I have more than one store and sell more products? That�s it! I got it! Through an affiliate program! I can�t afford to buy 100 domain names and setup all of those sites for more exposure, but I have friends and clients on the internet that already have web sites! I am already in business. All I need is a system whereby my friends and clients can send traffic to my site simply by advertising my products and a way for me to know who to reward for the referral. Then I will have similar leveraging power as McDonald�s. No more Internet Bankruptcy for me!

I mean look around you. The replication or duplication process is nothing new. When something works, duplicate it without changing a thing. I am sure McDonald�s did not invent it, but they were one of the first in the fast food business to make the replication process popular. What made Mc Donald�s rich is the fact that in every city over 50,000 people they have a store. Having a system and many stores is what will make you quickly reach the top financially.

The Amazon.com Success Story

Of course on the internet we have our own McDonald�s success story with Amazon.com where Jeffrey P. Bezos one day decided that it would be neat to sell books on the internet. He realized very quickly that he was one of the first, if not the first one to implement the concept of selling and buying books on the internet. He had to act quickly and one night while talking with friends at a party, the idea of Internet Associate programs was born. He shared the idea with a few computer programmers. They went to work and within a matter of weeks he had what has become known as the biggest and most popular affiliate/associate program on the internet. So popular, that I doubt if you have done any surfing without seeing the Amazon.com logo or banner. Jeffrey made sure they would be all over the place and why not. How much easier does it get than to put a little banner on your site that costs you nothing and if someone ends up purchasing books off your banner you get paid an automatic 5% - 12% depending on the books ordered.

My Life After Mc Donald's

When I returned to the office from McDonald�s I began surfing, looking for an affiliate program. There were none available and in those days I did not know how to program in Perl language yet, which is the language used to program server side CGI script. What I did was to make a special coded page and order form for each one of my re-sellers. It was a lot of work because everything needed to be done by hand. However, instead of selling one product a day, in less than one month I was selling several products everyday. What a difference!

Finally one day I came across an affiliate tracking software similar to Pro-TRACK. It had lots of features, paid on two tiers (levels) and made the whole process of signing up new affiliates totally automatic. I remember thinking what a great businessman I was to have implemented this system. What thrill to awaken in the morning and find out (as you check your email while still in your �jamas�) that you not only have $150 sitting in your IN Box, but also new affiliates that have joined your program while you where dreaming about ways to enjoy this money.

After using the new affiliate program for a while I began to have ideas of what else I would like the program to do. The problem was that those new features and ideas were costing me $95 per hour to implement and I had to wait weeks for them to be installed. By then I had learned to program and with the counsel and help of a friend (far more knowledgeable In Perl than me at the time), Pro-TRACK was conceived. Pro-TRACK allowed me to have better control and flexibility over my sales than my previous system.

Now you too can own that simple system that will spread your stores, almost like wildfire, all over the internet in no time at all. To give you an example, one of my clients, Lou Fabiano with Super-Promote.com, owns a search engine submission service and in less than two weeks after I installed Pro-TRACK on his site he had over 300 hundred affiliates selling his services. I must admit Lou was ready for Pro-TRACK and could not wait for me to be done with the installation because he understood the POWER behind an affiliate program. I will come back to the hidden power behind an affiliate program a little later. Yes, Lou was ready. First, he had a mailing list of everyone that had ever purchased from him and gave them the opportunity to join his program by offering a pretty hefty commission and an additional $2 for every new affiliate his clients would refer to his program.

If you already have a mailing list and offer a reasonable commission to your affiliates, there is no reason why you should not reap similar results as Lou did. Oh - you say you do not have a mailing list because you are just starting? No problem. The internet is the land of FREE STUFF (not for affiliate software however ). AffiliateBroadcast.com will submit your affiliate program to the over 36,000 subscribers of their newsletter �Affiliate Today.�

That should get you started (we have a special arrangement for the users of Pro-TRACK.) Then you may want to find Ezines that have the kind of audience your product would appeal to and place a small ad with them. Also, if you are not shy about bartering, offer to make the Ezine owner an affiliate of your program and list his affiliate link in your advertisement if he puts your ad in his ezine. This means that anyone that purchases from your ad in his Ezine will bring him a commission. Oh, did I mentioned that Pro-TRACK will not only track the affiliate ID from a text link into a newsletter, but also the amount of clickthrus and sales generated from that link. So you both win.

�When we decided to launch an affiliate program we had a clear picture of what we wanted. We required two tier tracking, a robust reporting package, compatibility with our present order taking system and it had to be easy to administer. We evaluated all of the affiliate tracking solutions we could find and Pro-TRACK was the only package that met all of our needs.

We placed the order and literally over night our system was installed and operational. We expected to spend the next several days fine tuning it and shaking out the inevitable bugs. Much to our surprise there were none!

The few minor changes we requested were done in a matter of hours and we were online and signing up affiliates that night! The software has run flawlessly for the last two months with absolutely no downtime, and the support we have received from Normand and his team has been incredible.

We recommend Pro-TRACK to anyone considering an affiliate program. You simply won't find an easier, headache free solution for your online business."

Provide Your Client With FREE Affiliate Sales Mgt. Software (available only to Pro-TRACK customers)

At this time Pro-TRACK is programmed to effectively work on a UNIX type server only! However, since each system and configuration is different, we suggest that you request a free site survey so we can determine the compatibility of your existing ordering system and Pro-TRACK. (NT server version available soon)

Once it has been determined that your system is compatible, the next step is to complete the order form and schedule a Pro-TRACK installation time

Figure out how much you want to pay your affiliates for selling your products. Choose a one Tier pay program or a two Tiers pay program. Set the pay rate in your easy access Administrative Control Panel and you are ready to sign-up new affiliates.

If you already have a list of email addresses for your clients and friends, announce your new affiliate program by sending them a Special email invitation. You may also submit your new program to AffiliateBroadcast.com to be broadcast to over 36,000 of their affiliate program hungry subscribers.

Once Pro-TRACK is implemented, it will automatically signup and issue your new affiliates their affiliate HTML code to install into their web page and an email is sent to you containing all of the new affiliate registration information. A new statistic page is also created for them to check their sales statistics. You can kick back, relax and let Pro-TRACK do the work for you.

We have discovered that what makes McDonald�s successful is their in-house system and multiple stores. However, there are more factors than these two that account for their success. For example, I do not know anyone that does not like McDonald�s French fries. The reason is that their potatoes are always fresh and consistently (as part of their system) processed in the same way each time so you can predict the results. Having a good product is also important.

Imagine their whole process (and there is one) as a formula. A formula for success I may add.

I have studied and observed the whole McDonald�s process and applied it to my e-commerce and it works great! Would you like to know the rest of the formula?

I am going to break it all down here for you to get the whole picture. I think you will be amazed at the whole thought process behind their system. I will relate how to apply this to your e-commerce and affiliate program by putting the equivalent in a reference table below.

First, you need to know who your client is so that you can spend your advertising dollar on recruiting those clients only. If you sell women�s products, advertising during half time of a football game may not be the best investment for your advertising dollar. However, advertising on the Oprah show or on a TV women�s magazine may bring you lots of sales.

Primarily kids, of course. They cater to adults also, but their whole advertising strategy is geared for children. It begins with the big golden arches outside that can be seen from a distance. My daughter could point to the golden arches and say McDonald�s before she could say daddy, no kidding. So a recognizable icon is important. For you it can be a logo, slogan or trademark, but be sure that you have something that people will recognize you by. The best form of free traffic is a special design or attraction on your site that makes people talk about it and tell their friends.

Next, McDonald�s entices children with that FREE TOY in the famous Kids Happy Meal. When my daughter was young she cared less about the cheeseburger, she dug right down for the toy. The other reason young children want to go to McDonald�s is the amusement park or playground. Not only do they get to eat burgers and fries and get the free toy, but they get to play with others their own age and size. Are you starting to understand that McDonald�s does have a proven successful system? Remember, assuming that you have a good product, you must also give away a FREE TOY at your site if you want more people to come and visit you.

So here it is - Perhaps your child is watching TV and Ronald McDonald comes on doing his thing. Shortly after your child asks to go to McDonald�s. If your child is good like mine and you don�t feel like cooking, what do you do? That�s right you go to McDonald�s. Don�t worry - they have a plan for you too. Your on a diet, they now have chef and Caesar salads just for you. They call them the shakers. Now the playground is there for you to.

No, not to play in it, but imagine you can go there with the next door neighbor and have a chat without worrying as much about where your children are or doing since they are in the playground. Yes, they have a built-in baby sitter just for you.

If you can promote products that anyone can use you are more likely to make more sales. Having more than one product on your site will attract more visitors that are then more likely to purchase your other products from being exposed to them. Why do you think McDonald�s also sells ice cream cones?

The service, consistency, and cleanliness can also apply to your web site and e-commerce. How clean looking is your site? How fast are you responding to your emails? Are you courteous with your responses? Do you spell check your emails before sending them. Do you have a system for your order processing in your office? How long does the client need to wait to receive the product they ordered?

For your easy reference I have summarized the McDonald�s system and how it translates to your e-commerce in the table below.

Isn't it time to pay a visit to your local McDonald�s? Or perhaps view my on-line demo, list of features or if you are ready to increase your sales and make more money by following the four steps outline above you can directly go to the FREE site survey form.

When you purchase Pro-TRACK you will also receive thanks to our affiliation with Affiliate Broadcast.com a FREE listing of your new affiliate program in their newsletter "Affiliate Today". Our special arrangement will move your program listing at the top of the submission list where your program will be listed as the first affiliate program in their list broadcasted to over 36,000 affiliate subscribers.

By broadcasting your affiliate program to their subscriber list you will have dozens, if not hundreds of new affiliates registering to your new affiliate program. What a great way to start your program!

Some other sites will sell or lease you this service for as much as $17 a month but when you purchase Pro-TRACK PRO it is included with the software. What I am talking about is a utility to track the effectiveness and return on investment from your Ezine and Newsletter advertising. In fact Pro-TRACK will track any form of advertising you may use, including banner, emails and text links. To track your Ezine advertising for example you would issue yourself an affiliate code under the name of the Ezine you are planning in advertising in like "Affiliate Ezine". Each time a visitor clicks on that specially coded URL in your advertisement not only will it record the 'click' but also the sale in the Pro-TRACK Administrative control panel. No extras fees or charges it is all included within Pro-TRACK PRO.
