    Hi,

    I'm the marketing director for a new project - a web shop selling design elements for powerpoint presentations. Just like presentationload.com. We are launching the website in 2-3 weeks time (sry, can't reveal the name yet).

    I want to grow the sales through affiliate marketing. I have very basic knowledge about affiliate, but I don't know what works and what doesn't. My idea is to join clickbank and CJ.

    The average purchase amount will be around $50-60.

    Questions:
    How should a design my affiliate program? Only banners, provide "design packages" to sell, etc. What would be good to start out with?

    What should I provide to potential affiliates? (banners, sales text)

    What is a competitive commission ratio?

    I just want a simple strategy that works to start out with. Any suggestions?

    Tobias
