    Hi all,


    I have a site which sells a product globally. It's a nice item (average $100 per sale), which being a nutraceutical body building supplement has a very high retention rate and high repeat custom.


    I wanted to get this out into the affiliate marketing world. The margins are great so we could afford 35 - 40% commissions on each sale. Any suggestions/pros/cons on how to proceed.


    Thanks

    I too am about 3 weeks into building our own affiliate network. Firstly, be careful who you allow in. While I've not had any problem with those I;ve allowed in, I've had some very questionable attempts to sign up.

    I think there's plenty of "pros" here. It's a great niche, and the fact that its a physical product is always a plus. Plus good margins are always good :).

    I checked out your site and think the "sales" pages can use some work. But you haven't launched the product yet, correct? So there's always time. Although you can certainly build up quite a list of interested buyers with a bit of optimization.

    When are you launching? And what kind of promotion are you doing for the product up to this point (other than your existing list, which is very impressive, 150k, right?)?

    Well we have a targeted 150k cleansed emails on the data capture...but we never launched the product. This was from my other sports nutrition retail stores I owned for 3 years.

    The rest was entirely social marketing and vertical branding via Twitter, G+ and FB alongside solid SEO architecture.

    What were/are your thoughts on the homepage?
