Starting an affiliate program.

I am sure this has been covered before.

But mostly with information products.

I am wanting to set up an affiliate program so others can sell my products.

Is there a link to a posting here about doing that?

 

You are having two options for this :
1. Join some well reputed providers like CJ or CB
2. Start your own with some script and promote it

 

Like @SEOnWebDesigning said, there are 2 ways to go. Both will cost you some money. I don't know what kind of product you have. If you have digital product, then clickbank.com is the way to go. You will have to pay 45$ setup fee. If you have physical product, then cj.com is good option. I don't know if they have setup fee. You can also just buy or make affiliate tracking software and run your own program. Affiliate tracking software cost from 50$+. You have some free tracking software, but I really don't recommend it - it looks unprofessional.

Some of tracking software:
affiliate pro (affiliateproscript.com)
post affiliate pro (qualityunit.com)
idev affiliate (idevdirect.com)
osi affiliate (osiaffiliate.com)

 

What may be the cost of joining CJ ?
Anyone know this ?

 

Thanks everyone.

My product is physical. It is tropical seeds.

I will look into CJ.

 

Not sure about the cost at cj.com, but I know that you have to be 1 year in business and having more then 50k$ in year sells. So as a new comer you can't go with them.

cj alternatives are clixgalore.com, shareasale.com, ...

 

I have been in business longer than they require and I meet and exceed the sales requirements.


Will check the other links.

Thanks

 

You are welcome. Good luck with affiliate program.
