Hello, We are ready to launch a new social networking site. We are in the process of building our affiliate program. Many sites pay per sign up. $1, $1.25 some even $2. What do you think is the good dollar amount to start with? As a publisher how much do you expect to get paid per sign up? It's a free sign up. Anyways here is my idea that i came up with today. What if I had an affiliate program that pays you lets say these rates: $0.10 per sign up - once user signs up you get commission for 45 days for the following activities: $0.10 per photo upload/every hour $0.10 per video upload/every hour $0.10 per blog post/every hour $0.10 new forum topic/every hour This way you can make a lot of money from a user that is active on the site. You earn that every hour for 45 days. Would publishers like this idea? yes no, why?
