Free Membership for Affiliates

[maxpower]

I have been thinking about giving out a free one month pass to affiliates that make 10 sales, just for PR. Anyone have any positive or negative feelings about this?

I give my affiliates access to my site whenever the request it...I do this so they can see the quality of the site (to show them what they are promoting) AND so they can grab material inside for use to promote our site (we update weekly with original shoots).

Ya I was thinking about the same, my affiliate program is new and I want to endear my affiliates as much as possible. I believe I offer a huge amount of content as well and would really like to assure them of that. BTW to you have a feed service?

free access to a site full of feeds may not excite potential affiliates as much as you hope.

Maybe but I do have like 90% of them LOL god to tell the truth its hard to put my mind around it I do have allot of videos on my domain, but I want to wrap-up the feed thing first. I know allot of Mega-Sites that have as many feeds as me that do very well. Most people don’t care where the content comes from and by having content form all over the web it lets them have a tastes of everyone’s different styles in one place.

So true, I've been known to over look them for sites that at least produce some of their own content. The days of using all plug ins is over. I see it daily when I check stats. There are some plug-ins like gunzblazing and topbucks that are pretty good to use, but I wouldn't base a site strictly off leased feeds.

To answer your question, yes giving passwords out to affiliates to use is a good practice. It can really give a webmaster a feel for your site. Who doesn't want a more informed sales person....?

Well its still really new and in a way under construction, even though it is open I am expanding it so fast that it changes almost every week. Its really not ready for main stream affiliates yet, I really want to get every thing the way I want it before I start promotion it for everyone.

I really do look forward to the day when I can make my own content trust me, but this will just be an addition to my existing site. BTW I display all the providers I carry I don’t think it will come as a big shock to anyone.
