What is the best affiliate program and why? I've heard of a few, never used any. We sell over 100 air purifiers and this may be another way of making money. We already do well but I'm looking into new ways to market our products, thought I'd look into affiliate programs. Mike
You can either start your own and build it into your shopping cart or go with a program like www.cj.com. Its cheaper to do your own but you don't have the benefit of reaching loads of webmasters.
Best way to get your affiliate program up and running is to directly contact sites that have good rankings for products similar to what you are selling and offer them a nice commission. With regards to cj, they can get you exposure, but you'll still need to market and recruit yourself if you expect to see results. How much do your products go for and how much commission do you plan on paying out?
