I want to try promoting other people's products through Plimus but I'm confused as to whether or not to sign up as a seller or an affiliate or what the term is over there, I feel it's a bit confusing. Also, why do they ask for a website when signing up? I'll likely be selling products through a variety of my websites, depending on their products, so why do they want the url of just one website from me? If anyone can answer these and point me in the direction of a helpful ebook or page on getting started with Plimus I'd appreciate it.
Hi there - Simon from Plimus here. The fundamental difference between a vendor and an affiliate is this: an affiliate represents other peoples' products on a marketing/rev share basis; a vendor may or may not do that, but also has products of their own that they sell. From a Plimus model perspective, a vendor has extra screen real estate to offer to promote other products - within the purchase pages for their own products. If you have any products of your own, or if you think you might, go ahead and register as a vendor; if not, jump in as an affiliate. I look forward to seeing you on board - PM me at simonj@plimus.com if you have any other questions.
What are their products and commissions like? I can't see the catalogue because I have not yet signed up for an account and am curious to see what niche products they offer.
I have ony of my products on Plimus, I offer 75% commission for it, but most of the other products offer less than 50%. Have gotten paid 2 times till now, both payments were on time, paid by wire transfer
