    Heya guys,

    I have a site - selling an eBook. The eBook will be sold at $47.00 - I want to payout $27 to each affiliate when they make a sale.

    Now, I have banners... I want a way to have www.myebookwebsite.com/refid=1 or similar track purchases; the only thing I've found till now is IDev Affiliate - http://www.idevdirect.com/idevaffiliate.php - anyone know another way?

    Thanks :)

    Will PayDotCom give affiliates of my product a link directly to my created sales page? (www.mysalespage.com/ref1 for example) E-Junkie have a affiliate program but they only give affiliates a code to generate a buy now button, which is pretty much worthless... :(

    Is there something special about the number 47. People want to sell ebooks at that magic number. Must be a psychological thing that make people believe that the ebook is not that much.

    Another easy option is Clickbank. They take a small percentage as their fee but they manage everything including paying the affiliates. Some folks don't like Clickbank, but it might be an option for you.

    There are several other good affiliate managers. I use JVManager 2/Fantasos but it's not cheap.

    I'll search my resources and get back to you with a list of good options.

    Clickbank hates UAE publishers... we're banned :p

    I will look into the above few programs - PayDotCom take a cut of every single sale which obviously I don't like as I presume Paypal will take another cut... :eek:

    It seems you are looking for an affiliate software solution. There are many popular affiliate software with reviews listed here.

    Having a look at them may help you decide on what to do. Personally if you don't want to manage your affiliates because you have a lack of time, then becoming a merchant on an affiliate network my be a better choice for you. Clickbank may also be good as they have a lot of ebooks these days.

    FANTASOS is great, but, as said before, not cheap. Look for a FANTASOS hosted account. Much cheaper, and same functionality. Google it..
