    HI
    I've got the website, I've got the suppliers, now I could use someone who will sell my stocks.

    is this the right place to sport such a program?

    It is depend on business model. If you have an attractive and unique products, then i believe a lot of ppl may send you an email. Do you mind to advise further regarding your product?

    So you're basically looking to recruit affiliates here?

    If so, you should be ready to offer MANY details about what you would offer, how it would be tracked, etc. I think people are fairly picky about which programs they want to work with - and for good reason. Nobody wants to sink valuable time into something that won't pay or isn't good. Someone who will just "sign up" probably won't really do anything for you anyway.

    It does depend on what exactly you sell...

    My two cents: every affiliate program should have an affiliate manager. No program may be run on auto-pilot. An affiliate manager is that person that handles all (or most of the) correspondence with the affiliates, recruits new ones and motivates the current ones to do better, and does a dozen other things... If you cannot afford to keep one in-house, consider outsourcing. I would be happy to look into what exactly you want to sell, your website, your budget, and may be able to help as far as a full-blown affiliate program management on an outsourced basis.

    You may definitely do it yourself too (if you do have the time). If you decide to manage your affiliate program by yourself, make sure you spend a week or two reading and educating yourself about affiliate program management and recruitment. There is more than one hundred ways to go wrong about these two...

    First you have to set up the affiliate program so that you can track your affiliates sales, leads, clicks, etc.

    Not sure if this will help, but listed here is some of the most used and popular affiliate software online today.

    thank you for your reply.
    can you recommend any affiliate program software (if you had really experience with it).

    **
    are replica affiliate programs considered to be profit bearing what so ever? i've just been invited to be in one of them.
