How to start my own affiliate program ?

Discussion in 'Affiliate Programs' started by AtanasYanev, Jul 25, 2006.

    I have a product(ebook, the niche isnt important) that I want to sell online, giving the other people way to make money (and to bring me visitors, you know, im not hiding this), 50% 50% commission.. But I dont have time to develop the entire paying/tracking system, so I am looking for something that can offer me what I need:

    - affiliate management company that... offers to sell my products, allows people to register and become my refferals, pays to me and to my affiliate network when there is a sale ...

    I want to outsource this with one word ;)

    I'm willing to pay high commisions to these companies and refferals that bring me sales... Is there anything I can sign up for?

    Please, excuse me if this is already discussed, please, point the threads to me...

    Either visit hotscripts.com and install an affiliate script and employ somebody to manage it or visit cj.com and pay them to run it for you.

    The first option is cheaper :)

    1) There are lot of affiliate software available which you can install on your server and get started with your own affiliate program.
    2) open merchant account with sharesale and list the products and get affiliates ( i think shareasale charges $200 to become merchant, but they handle everything like sending payments n etc)

    what about using paydotcom, I've used them for a number of products and the fees are cheap and the money goes direct to your paypal account. Probably ideal for your first few products.

    www.paydocom.com

    or if you are feeling generous

    I'm from Bulgaria and I am not able to use PayPal to get my money(this dont mean that my clients cant use paypal ;) ), so cheque or wired transfer is my only option... For now, I'll talk with my friends in USA if I can use their PayPals for this :)

    I do not have money (200$ for sign up) also :(
    Or at least - dont have money yet...

    I can install affiliate script, yes, but I cant handle the payings to my affiliates...

    I would keep that quiet if I were you. Affiliates like to know they will get paid.

    Yea, now go to my first post and read where I wrote that I want to use 3rd company about payments etc., I dont want to deal with this type of money ;)

    I want to keep these 200$, but pay huge percentage to this 3rd firm ;)

    edit
    I'm not affiliate guy, Im affiliating others, but just want to help my budget little more, I dont expect to earn serious money, so thats why I'm looking for this services ;)

    Sign up as a ClickBank vendor.

    They specialize in digital products like yours, and take care of all the affiliate arrangements for you. They also pay by cheque, and if you earn over $1,000 per fortnight, then you can get payment by wire transfer instead.

    If you don't mind the idea of me making some cash too, then use this link - http://webniche.reseller.hop.clickbank.net ;)

    Good luck!

    ClickBank is the daddy!

    Don't be put off by the old fashioned interface, they are the biggest player for digital products, they pay every fortnight, and the payments are never late and never bounce!

    They make your product available to their network of 100,000 affiliates to promote, which can mean huge sales for you!

    I'm an affiliate for a number of their products, and can personally vouch for them!
