Wordpress Blog Affiliate Program-Noob question!

[david42]

Hi

I have a question, I hope it doesnt sound too ridiculous.

I have some Wordpress themes Im trying to sell via my own site and am thinking that one way of doing this would be to set up a affiliate program to get other people on board selling them for me.

I have a full Wordpress site and shop already built and running, my question is. can someone tell me how I would go about setting myself up as an affiliate?

I know im gonna have to set up cookies to monitor sales, but being honest I have no idea what im doing. So I thought Id ask you guys!

Thanks to anyone who can help!

Check out "Post Affiliate Pro". I was in the market for an affiliate program a while back and did some research. I ended up not getting it (my project fell through) but it would have been the one I would've used. They have a cool demo of there product and it doesn't cost too much.

You may have to join a affiliate network for this..

Thanks for the replies. I was thinking of an affiliate network McPeak4521, hand off all the hastle to them and just give them some commission. Does anyone have any recommendations for a good network?

I am currently looking into affiliate advertising myself. What I can see so far, is that you either do-it-yourself, including all advertising involved to get affiliates, and use Post Affiliate Pro (http://www.qualityunit.com/postaffiliatepro/) (best I found), or pay $650 to go with Shresasale (http://shareasale.com/learnmore.cfm).
