Hi everyone, I sell a product that is very easy to shift (sell) and I want to greatly increase the volume of sales by bringing Affiliates on board. What is the best way to find Affiliates to sell a fast-selling product and what is the optimal Affiliate fee to pay? The one limitation I have is that I am forced to use a PayPal-compatible service. For now, I'm using Payloadz, but Payloadz's Affiliate network doesn't seem to be very active. Does anyone have any suggestions on another Affiliate program I can try that works with PayPal, or any ideas on how to better use Payloadz? Also, how do potential Affiliates feel about Payloadz, is it a turn-off for you? I've only recently begun selling my product, so I'm still working on pricing, but right now I have it priced at $49 and offer Affiliates $25 on every sale, which is over a 50% commission rate. Is that too high, too low, or just right in your opinions? The product is very easy to sell, particularly to the target market, because no one else offers what I have and it is priced at what I think is very reasonable, so it shifts quite easily. That makes me think that perhaps I am offering Affiliates too much since the product "sells itself". On the other hand, I want to get as many Affiliates on board, so that makes me think that I might be offering too little. Hopefully I'm somewhere in between, but I'd love to get your feedback on this. Thanks!
Hi FileDropper, Does the product "sell itself"? What are your sales for this fast selling product, and when did you start? I'm always fearful of a product that is not that difficult to duplicate and doesn't have any competition. There's usually a reason that there is no competition. Feel free to PM me if you would like. I know
Thanks for your input. The reason there is no competition is because these special accounts were obtained during a limited-time offer that only lasted a few days after this File Hosting service was launched. The 250GB lifetime accounts I sell for a one-time price of $49 are the exact same exact accounts that today people are paying $10 a month for. So for less than 5 months worth of the service, people can get it for a lifetime. It's a great deal any way you look at it and I've been accumulating these accounts from their original owners for several months now and have a near-monopoly on them, so now I just need to sell them and I want to find Affiliates to help me mass-sell them. I've only just started selling them so I'm still working on pricing, although I've priced it at $49 to start and offer Affiliates $25 per sale which is over a 50% commission rate. (I'm still discussing pricing in this thread: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1155215) What I'm trying to figure out now - since I'm new to all of this - is the best way of finding Affiliates to shift this inventory as I have quite a bit of it (which has cost me a lot of money and put me well into the red). I hope that clarifies things. Please keep the input coming.
