    Hi, I have plan to build online shop special for handicrafts.
    I want to promote this online shop
    I want to use affiliate system but I don't know the way..
    In my planning I will give bonus $0,5 per item/sale
    if the buyer buy my handicrafts throught their website or their name.
    But I do not know how to practice this system
    Can you give me the ideas or suggestion?:)

    You can't do that with static website (html pages only), you will have to develop complete affiliate system using php/asp.net else it will be almost impossible to track sales given to you by your affliates :)

    I think before you implement affiliate program you should make your site popular first.

    From my understanding you are still planning to build an online shop. In that case your site is not up yet and you haven't make any sales. So what I suggest is you should study and learn first how to make that site, how to drive traffic to that site, how to make that site credible so people has some trust on your site when they finally arrive on your site, and then how to make that sales so you track the conversion rate for that site. Only then affiliate thing should come into your plan. Nowadays people are very picky. There just don't buy whatever you throw at them. 1000 visitor with not a single cents made is not unusual. So you don't want to waste your doing something when at last you are in the losing end. So all the best to your online business journey.

    Here are the steps:

    1) First make you website LIVE : Done
    2) Second Market them, go for PPC
    3) Implement affiliate program: shoppingcart, or you can move to directory.affiliatetracking.com to search for the better Affiliate program to opt from.

    Best of luck

    It is good to have an idea. Start to test your products via eBay before you setup your very own online shop. Starts with the basics, find more about it via http://dropshippingessentials.com

    I think an affiliate program can be an excellent addition to your marketing strategy, as long as you don't rely on it solely. You can create one by yourself using php or you can sign up as a merchant with someone like Afilliace.
