So I’m on Google the other day looking for a local place to rent a mailbox (I just moved to Fort Worth, Texas and have no clue what’s around here) and an ad at the top of the sponsor ads on the side catches my eye. EarthClassMail.com. The catchy name sparked my curiosity so I just had to check it out. And being an affiliate, I immediately start looking for a link to their affiliate page but didn’t see one.
So I go back to what I was doing and hours later I’m at ShareASale and guess what site I see listed there? Now… it was just shear luck that I happened to see their ad on SAS but if I hadn’t, I would have never known EarthClassMail has an affiliate program.
The moral of the story: Don’t risk letting one hungry affiliate slip by. Put an ‘Affiliates’ page on your site that has all the info affiliates want on it.
And if you use PayDotCom, don’t just count on the page they give you. That page is about as inviting as a rectal exam. Make affiliates want to work with you by having a great ‘Affiliates’ page on your site.
