    We are a new startup looking to create awareness for our product through affiliates. Our plan is to pay affiliates for every customer who signs up to use our service. Can someone please advise on how to go about this process?

    depending on what your product is there is a couple of options getting affiliate software and managing it yourself, or dumping some money into a cpa network (if they accept your product)

    Thanks for your response BigRooster317. Do you think its better getting an affiliate software to manage the campaign or go through a CPA network like Clickbank?
    Or better, are there any freelance affiliates out there who we can work with on a one on one basis?
    Thanks

    It really depends on what you are selling or what your goal is. Clickbank is not a cpa network, they are more of a payment processor with a well organized affiliate program. If you have a digital product clickbank would be ideal to gain affiliates (but you need a really good product and incentive to get affilaites). If you are trying to get members to a site a cpa is the way to go. I am currently doing cpa and running my own affiliate program they both have there perks and they both have there disadvantages. Just pm me what you are trying to achieve and I can assist you more.

    CPA is definitly the way to go. Check out our article on the forum "Shed Some Light on CPA". That should help you understand a little more about CPA.

    Best!

    IF it is one product and you do not have the time to handle affiliate program youself, try CJ.
    if you use click bank you product will get lost and it will be very hard to push it forward.
    think about doing it yourself.
    if you need any Idea of how to do it, just ask
