Hello affiliate gurus, Currently I am offering 5% commission on every sale. I have put my own tracker which will send you email with sale detail for every sale that I get from your link. Please PM me if you are interested or you have any question.
Not using an affiliate network ? will work only a bit. You cant pull in huge volumes unless you get networks involved. You must know that, by listing an offer on a network, you are opening it to all their affiliates. Volumes !!
what???? My mark-up(profit) is hardly 18-20% which includes my expenses. I am surprised how they can pay 75%?
Depends on the space. Software is really only a one time expense, so they can afford to offer huge commissions. However in the brick and mortar world ( which hardwarecity must be judging by his username) margins are not very high. THWC I'd suggest that maybe you expand on what you are offering as when you say I'm paying 5% and no one has a clue as to what you are selling, you won't get any affiliates.
ThehardwareCity.com is only online and i don't have any B & M store. I have about 40000 products and the range is extremely wide. Average order amount is $30-$50. The order amount can be as low as $0.20 and as big as $5000. Thats how the home hardware supplies are. Very much similar to homedepot and lowes except some unshippable items.
