It’s a fact that in almost every niche, affiliates have several affiliate programs to choose from and they can select only the best ones to promote and earn commission. Another fact is that if affiliates are not happy with an affiliate program, they will move to another program. There are certain things affiliates can't stand and which makes them decide not to join a program or leave the program. It is important that any merchant know about these things and avoid them, otherwise your affiliate program will not succeed! Affiliates hate miserly merchants who offer small commission in their affiliate programs. Affiliates want to be considered as valuable business partners who bring in sales which the merchant would otherwise not be able to bring in on his own. Hence, affiliates want the commission structure to show that the merchant really appreciates his or her affiliates. In addition to the standard commissions, if you have some affiliates that bring in outstanding sales, it is a good idea that you also give them some bonuses. Affiliates dislike merchants who don’t have a long term view to their business and are not committed to selling high quality products. Affiliates dislike selling products for merchants who are not prepared to invest in their products, websites and marketing tools. An affiliate program that has no marketing tools, a website that is not well present, or a sales copy that does not convert are some of the things which affiliates hate. Lack of support in any form from the merchants is something which affiliates hate. In order to be able to recruit many affiliates and retain them in your affiliate program, you must make sure that your products, services; website and marketing tools are of high quality. The reputation of your affiliate program and your products can be easily passed on the internet, and affiliates avoid joining any company with such bad reputation. Affiliates hate merchants who fail to pay them on time, and who don’t correctly report and track the affiliates’ sales. A good affiliate program must provide exceptional tracking systems for the affiliates’ sales. This software or system allows the merchant to track visitors by using cookies, so that affiliates get all the credit for sales that originate from the affiliate’s site. In order for you to provide what affiliates want, as a merchant you must invest in the necessary software and tools so that you provide top-notch reporting and payment processing for your affiliates. Never short-change your affiliates. Pay them the correct amounts on time! Affiliates hate merchants who don’t keep in touch with them or update them on any important developments. Some merchants never communicate or email their affiliates. Worse, some merchants never reply any emails with questions which their affiliates send to them. This is particularly important to new affiliate marketers who may need some support and help along the way. When affiliates feel neglected and don’t get the assistance they need, they will simply go to the next affiliate program! Affiliates don’t want anything to do with a company or affiliate program that has a tarnished reputation. As a merchant, you must know that affiliates always do a background check on your company or your program before they sign up to the affiliate program. A merchant must therefore never engage in business dealings or practices that tarnish the company’s reputation. It is very important for a merchant to never mistreat any affiliates and to try and resolve any problems with affiliates amicably. A few bad reviews by some ex-affiliates can severely damage the merchant’s opportunity to recruit affiliates because every potential affiliate who reads a negative review will not want to join your program. Guard your reputation on the internet closely. If you want your affiliates to love you and work hard to generate more sales, make sure that you provide what they want and expect, and never do some of the things which they hate! This is by no means a complete list of all the things which affiliates hate. A merchant must invest the necessary time, effort and money to develop an affiliate program that is well structured so that you give your affiliates what they like, and they will absolutely love you for it and will bring in more sales!
