How to Sell Dish Network Services on the Internet

Do online research on various Dish Network Affiliate Sales programs. There are many such affiliate offers on the Internet from companies including VCMSatellite.com, AffiliatesScout.com, and SatelliteSales.com. Each company has its own affiliate system and agreement. Check the commission rates paid for each Dish Network customer you bring to them and all the details. Read the affiliate agreements and contracts carefully. Be sure you understand what you can, and cannot, do as an affiliate—and when and how the company will pay you commissions.
Sign up with the firm of your choice and receive any support materials they provide to affiliates. Study the information carefully. Note the rules and policies regarding how you can advertise your Dish Network subscriptions. Some sales tactics, like mass email programs, may be prohibited by your affiliate partner.
Register the domain name of your business. Choose an available domain name that has the word “Dish” in it. Make sure you only purchase a “dot com” name, and one that is short, easy to remember, and does not contain strange spellings, dashes or “_” underline marks. One good idea is to “localize” more than one Dish sales website: Create a website for every major town within 100 miles of your location and name each of them separately such as “MapletownDishTv.com,” “OaksvilleDishTv.com,” and “WillowbrookDishTv.com.”
Sign up for a domain hosting program. In most cases, the domain registrar company will also offer you a hosting package for your website. Simple hosting packages can be purchased for less than $10 per month.
Design and deploy your Dish sales website or websites. Make your website(s) professional looking. Make it easy for potential customers to sign up for services through you, using whatever means your affiliate manager assigns to you. Some affiliate programs pay you commission when the customer enters your unique “Promotional Code” during signup. Other programs link your website to their website and you are credited when customers enter their site through your web gateway.
Create the website so that visitors feel they are dealing with the legitimate Dish sales contractor for their area. If your website is named “WillowbrookDishTv.com,” for example, include plenty of localized references in the website so that Willowbrook residents will feel that your company sells Dish Network for their town. Include pictures of local landmarks or references to local sports teams to promote this sense of “local.”
Create Google Adword accounts for all your Dish network sites. Combine the name of your town or region, plus the words “Dish” and “Satellite TV,” in your keywords. An example of good keywords would be “Willowbrook, IL,” “Dish Network,” “Satellite TV,” and “new subscription for Dish Network.” When a potential customer conducts a Google Search for any of these keywords, your listing will appear in the results. The number of times your listing appears, and the ranking of your listing, will depend on the amount of money you budget for the program. If your competitors budget more money for the campaign, their listings will appear more often than yours will.
Find other ways to market your website locally—that are permitted in your affiliate's contract. All your marketing efforts should promote visits to your website.
