Want to start own Affiliate Network...

HI,

I have to start my own affiliate network just like adjal and revenuehill (new networks).
Can anyone suggest me where can i start it?

I want to make a partnership with large affiliate network.

Also, want information for scripts and software.

Thanks,

 

Well since you won't have your own offers, buy Directtrack and then just syndicate offers from other networks. You'll need a hefty budget in order to run a midly successful network.

All the best

 

You want a suggestion? Do research that doesn't involve asking people on message boards. People who actually run/operate networks aren't going to help you as there's no reason to help someone who aspires to be a competitor. So you'll only get advice from people who have no real clue as to what it takes to start and operate a network.

Also, if you haven't been doing internet marketing for at least 2 years, I'd say don't even bother with a network yet. You should know how to be an affiliate, and know the expectations of a merchant before you even consider starting a network.

I can look at all the networks threads started here over the past few months by people who CLEARLY have no clue and predict that less than 10% of them will still be in business 1 year from now. I can also predict that at least half of them will be the subject of "Is XXXXXXX a scam network?" threads.

 

I've worked with 5 network startups over the last 7 years. One was hugely successful, three didn't make it out of development and one I just posted a launch announcement about yesterday. What Steven said is absolutely true. We spent over a year in development (very expensive development) before posting a peep on any message boards, and everybody involved in the project was an industry veteran. Building a good network isn't easy and it isn't cheap. It's also not something you just pick up and do on a whim.

I wish you the best of luck, but I think you'll find it to be a bigger challenge than you expected.

 

Try HasOffers.com - We don't use them personally but they seem to be a free affiliate tracking software for the first 1 million clicks - Then they charge only $800/mo.

Cheaper than Directtrack.

 

Thank You All for the valuable suggestion and guidance.

 

$800 per month just for tracking ?

 

Also, you can be an aff manager for a major network and learn ins and outs, you can also make relationships to get you started when you are ready.

 

Well considering how millions of clicks and pixels could be fired every single day, it's essential to have a good tracking platform (And by saying that, I am no way saying that DT is good )

 

This is very true coming from a seasoned professional.

 

I would also choose DirectTrack. I have been working with CPA Networks for sometime now and have always preferred this software. There are a number of new networks coming online today which look as if there has not been much or any money put into them.

Some doesn't even have a phone number and mailing address contact which I personally never join if that's the case.
