I sell a product and would like to setup an affiliate service where people drive trafic to my site an get a part of the sale. So someone suggest i contact LinkShare, and I did. Well they said the minimum it cost to be a part of their service is 20k. Well thats half my revenues and no where near my marketing budget. So is there a way I can have an affiliate service even though I am not a mega company? thanks
Its a poster of the federal discretionary budget. www . thebudgetgraph . com its sounds complicated but sales are good as it is a one of a kind product.
I have seen scripts that allow you to setup your own affiliate program. Try checking at http://www.hotscripts.com - Do a search for "affiliate programs"
Cool product. I would try hitting up some smaller networks such as HydraMedia, MaxBounty, Rowise maybe even. And to the other poster, I think he wants to have a large amount of publishers to publish his product rather than having an affiliate program on his site with zero publishers.
Just send you a pm for a free script, from which you can set up your own network with. It's free and fully featured. If you like it and when you have generated enough money you can purchase the license key for unlimited sign ups.
Mibs, ones you have it up and going let me know, we could eventually exchange and register to each others affiliate program, since we're a kind of related in business. I get about a couple of hundreds sites joining in in the next couple of months. I did some off line marketing to set up a network with this and found a group which is very interested in products like yours and mine.
