I just built a site a for a client that provides stock picking services. The site includes an affiliate program. They want to get it out there into an affiliate network such as commission junction but at this point can't afford the setup fees. Are there any networks out there that are low cost or free? Please let me know of any that you know. Thanks guys!
I thought most networks would require a hefty sum for setup due to the work that goes into the admin/payments, tracking etc! Do you have all the creatives as well? The only cheap solution I would of thought would be Clickbank... although this is ofcourse caters Digital Products.
other option is that you run your affiliate program. All you need is affiliate tracking software. They start as low as 49$.
Yeah that's a good idea! Post Affiliate Pro is suppose to be quite decent... only costs around £50.00 ($100)!! You can do all sorts with this like multi-tier commissions & the likes... Only problem is getting the message out! Once your listed within an Affiliate Network, you can have hundreds of Affiliates signup in next to no time. On Awin, they usually make a big deal out of new clients, so you can imagine how effective the Networks are. I would opt for your own Affiliate Program and just use Adwords or Blogging to reel the Affilliates in!
the client mostly just wants to get the word out there about the porgram. I built the software from scratch and it works great so thats not what hes looking for here. what i was hoping to find was a network that makes a % of the sale fee. say 5-10% on top of the regular affiliate %.
