What started out as a desire to remove toxic products from his life lead Warren Fligg to develop a thriving green affiliate marketing network that helps green and social entrepreneurs grow their businesses at a very low cost. Warren started his work in the affiliate marketing world in the 90s, and has since developed into Performance-Based.com green affiliate marketing network that offers advice and a system for making affiliate marketing work for enterprises of all shapes and sizes.

3 Benefits of Starting an Affiliate Marketing Program

Many green merchants and retailers struggle with growing their business, and don’t realize they can recruit an army of marketers to promote their products simply by starting an affiliate marketing program. Here are three powerful benefits to starting an affiliate marketing program:

• Get Help from People Who Believe in Your Brand: Tap into that base of people who have an interest in your business or product and get them to advertise for you through an affiliate program. It costs them nothing and may even earn them money, all while helping to expose new people to your enterprise.
• A Low Cost Marketing Strategy: Traditional marketing requires that you shell out money with no guarantee that you’ll see a return on your investment. With affiliate marketing, if no purchase takes place, no money changes hands. That’s good for your bottom line.
• Grow Brand Recognition: Not every affiliate marketing impression will end in a sale, but even so, affiliate marketing benefits you by exposing your idea to more people. Realize that affiliate marketing is great for your business even without a sale for every view and you’ll find it much easier to be patient throughout the process.
