    There is info about that all over the forum. Just type in Affiliate Program or Marketing in the forum search and start going through the threads.

    Generally Affiliates want:
    *50% - 75% commission
    *A proven sales page that converts well
    *Secure Trustworthy commission platform (ex. clickbank, click2sell)
    *giveaways for meeting quatas are awesome.
    *Professionally designed banner & ad graphics
    *Pre-written Emails, Articles, Press releases
    *etc.

    The more "love" you show your affiliates the more they will show you "love" by promoting your products and/or services.

    Anyways, Good luck to you!

    hEY,


    thanks a lot for your answer! It helped me a lot. I still have some questions. So my product is a web app and my plan is to pay affiliates per (free) sign up (which I think is attractive for affiliates). I would pay 15usd per sign up. Is that a good price ?


    Moreover, I am thinking about creating a page only for affiliates with hints, tips, testimonials, videos in order to make it as easy as possible for them to sell my product. What do you think about it ? Is it common in the affiliate marketing field to do so or is there any other way to help affiliates sell your products ?


    Waiting for your answer! Thanks again

    No problem, Actually thats a pretty sweet deal for any affiliate/cpa enthusiast.

    That is exactly what you should do. that is great plan. Dedicated affiliate pages are very useful especially if you've provided super awesome resources for them to copy, tweak, and promote. The easier you make it for your affiliates to promote your apps... The more likely they will promote your stuff and you'll make more money in the long run... either by ads running on your apps or paid upgrade apps w/out ads running.

    App Development is the Newest Gold Rush and it is extremely wise for anyone with the entrepreneurial spirit to get involved in.

    Good Luck To You & I hope you make a killin' my friend! :cool:

    Thanks for the insight !! I really appreciate it. Also, YoPapaNinja talked about affiliate/cpa enthusiast and App Development being the Newest Gold Rush. Is there a place that these types frequent? Blogs, forums, etc? I'd love to pick their brain about promoting web apps and other online digital products.

    Waiting for your answer !

    yeah, if you are paying them higher commission and 2nd and 3rd level affiliate earnings, people tend to sign up too early.
