Here goes my first post: I'm trying to learn the basics of reseller affiliate marketing. I have one main question in mind, but if there's a good FAQ or summary of this stuff, please let me know so I can check it out. So I've found that companies like Dell, Circuit city, Amazon, etc have their own affiliate programs. Great. However, if I were to try and set up a large amount of affiliations, it seems that this could be a headache to manage every single affiliation. I assume there are affiliate companies that wrap up many companies affiliation programs into one system that's easier for people like me to manage. What are some examples of these companies? Is it better to just set up the affiliation with the company directly? Please let me know your thoughts - I'm very interested to learn about this stuff. Many thanks.
NeverBlueAds and Commission Junction are two highly regarded affiliate programs here at DP. Both have a lot of programs to choose from... If you need a NeverBlueAds link, check out the third link in my sig...
Wow, fast responses! Nice community here. Thanks so much - I'm going to look into these programs. Any other suggestions are very much welcomed as well as any advice for a newbie in affiliate marketing. Any good reads out there on this stuff?
There are many networks out there, good and bad, so I would suggest shopping around and reading much of this forum.
I would stick with Commission Junction and Linkshare because that have the best high-profile, brand-name merchants and you get all your commissions in one check..
There are some great independent affiliate programs too. Just check them out first. Ask questions (like here at DP), and you'll locate the ones that might be in your niche. Good luck to you.
