To start an affiliate program

    You see guys, I have never ever used any affiliate programs before and wish to do so, I sell some services with these prices.
    2$
    10$
    15$
    30$
    60$
    100$
    And it costs about 80% for me for items priced 30$ and more. And the percentage increases for smaller items.

    How much I must pay for affiliates ?

    If your costs are 80% for products above $30 and even higher for products less than $30, you need to find new products....that's if I am reading you correctly.

    If 80% of sales go towards the product, try giving away 10% to affiliates, you loose nothing from the process as your still profiting 10%. You may want to consider either raising the prices or finding new products to increase profit margins.

    Yeah I think so.
    I can give 1$ max for every 2$ item sold.

    And for the 30$ item, I can give about 3$ max.
    Is that ok ?

    and how to track, non-download, services ?
    I'll try to do it manual.

    Thank you guys.

    And what kind of services which cost 80% of the price you sell? I think you should increase services price and position it not as "cheap", etc., but "quality" or similar (if i clearly understood your previous post...).
