It's not about you or your commission!

Start thinking about what the pet owner wants!
(Don't worry, we'll get to your commissions soon. I promise. Now keep reading...)

Giving dog owners a reliable, trusted and easy way to purchase products should be your goal.

Why?

Because that's exactly what they're looking for! All you have to do is give it to them – then collect your affiliate commission!

Did you catch that?

You'll get paid after you send Ms. Dog Lover to a nice looking, easy to use website with the quality products she's looking for. So, you need to make that your #1 priority!

Here's how you can pick the perfect affiliate program for dogs, pets, credit cards, software and every other kind!

Find A Well Known Company

Well known companies are easier to promote because people already know of them. And Ms. Pet Owner is more likely to buy from a company she's already familiar with. If Ms. Pet Owner has already ordered products from this company she'll have no problem doing it again – that means commission for you!

Who would YOU feel more confident ordering from?

The big company with the TV commercials or the 35 year old running a business from his mom's basement?

Sticking with well known companies will help you make more sales, especially if you're new to affiliate programs.

Promote Quality Products

Most internet shoppers have some idea of what they're looking for. In fact, they may have seen 100 websites before yours and you should assume they know more about the products than you do.

Ms. Dog Owner loves her puppy and wants the best products for him. She's searched the pet stores in her neighborhood and can spot quality products in a second. And she can see crappy products from a mile away.

It's better to stick with quality dog products to get repeat sales and feel good about what you're selling.

And quality products will cut down on returns so you don't lose your commissions!

Look For Professional Website Design

Customers want to feel confident when buying online and it starts with the design of the website – not only what the website looks like, but also how easy it is to use.

One way to help Ms. Dog Lover buy the right product is to show her Product Pages with large detailed pictures. The pictures will boost her confidence by showing exactly what the she's buying. In fact, large photos have been proven to increase sales on retail websites.

Is it easy to find products quickly? Can you search by keywords like pet food, kennels or how to get rid of fleas?

Use your own experience and compare the affiliate website to other sites you've ordered from.

Or go the extra mile and test the site yourself.

First, try and find a few products from different sections of the site. Was it easy to add products to your shopping cart? Next, try the checkout process. Is the checkout button easy to find on the page? - this can make or break the site! You don't want to search for the way to buy stuff and neither will the people you send to that website.

Make sure the ordering process is easy. Easier is better – for your customers and your commissions!

Building Confidence And Sales!

As I mentioned above, customers want to feel confident when buying online. Educated online shoppers will look for specific logos on a website before they buy. Here are a couple of logos that can boost customer confidence in your affiliate website:

Better Business Bureau
This logo proves that the company cares about it's reputation. Adding this logo to any website can increase sales.

Hacker Safe
Internet fraud and identity theft is a huge issue. Showing the website has been tested and secured helps customers feel confident when using credit cards online.

PayPal
Again, PayPal is a secure form of payment. Millions of people trust it and would rather use PayPal than credit cards.

Hopefully, your dog affiliate website will have some or all of those logos. If it's got them all, you're golden! Get ready for easy sales and lots of commission checks!

Speaking of commissions...

Finally! Your Commission

If you're smart (and you are if you're reading this website) you won't be upset when I tell you that commissions are the very last factor used to pick your dog products affiliate programs.

Now that we're at the end, lets talk about your commission!
Here are a couple questions you should ask of your affiliate programs:

How much do I get paid?
The most common question. Sometimes you'll be paid one price for every sale and other times you'll be paid a percentage of all your sales. You'll have to research the affiliate programs to be sure.
When do I get paid?
Monthly is the most common, but your affiliate program may be different.

Who's managing the affiliate program?
If the affiliate program is managed by the business it may be risky. Lots of business try and manage affiliate programs themselves, but some do a horrible job. However, if they've been around a while (like the Amazon.com program) you should be safe.

My advice is to join an affiliate Network like LinkShare. They manage affiliate programs for thousands of companies and know what they're doing.

LinkShare has thousands of happy merchants and affiliate marketers to prove it. Plus, they pay on time!

Thanks for reading,
