I have a product/Widget that Webmasters/Bloggers use a lot and now I made a "Pro" version which is Payable one.

I have more than 140K widget served (140K Webmasters that using the services).

Now we maid a "Pro" version for better and customize widget.

For example 3 packages (They all on subscription mode)
$5/month (Or discount on yearly) - For Bronze package
$25/Month - For Silver package
$50/Month - For Gold package


Now my question is, It is profitable to make an affiliate section so others will promote my product for a commission or the contining commission?

I saw services that gives 20% of the sale and others giving 80% of the sale.

Should I give one-time Commissionon for the purchase? Or the affiliator should get a commission every time the client he refer keep paying for the service (Subscription).

Let's say I give 40% Comission of the sale and a client that refered by the affiliate member give us $25/Month deal. Than the client stay 10 months = $250.

Should I pay the $10 one-time Commission to the affiliate member or $100 Comission within 10 months? (If his refer keep using the service).

I would love to get some feedbacks and ideas.

I will appreciate also example of service like CPALead etc that I can sign-up as advertiser.

Best regards, metros.
 


Ola,

With digital products where it's just your b(r)andwidth and virtual goods, you are in a good position to offer more than most.

* If you go the affiliate route, be prepared to a) Not compete with them, let them earn and be lenient with everything from keys to methods. b) I wouldn't put it on a CPA, I'd go the digital route - clickbank/click2.sell.eu/paydotcom.com/ejunkie etc.

* I actually offer between 50-75% and then bonuses for high volume affiliates, don't be shy to let them run with your offer if it's already converting, ESPECIALLY if it's a safe rebill.

* I wouldn't bother with one time payouts or tiers either, very few affiliates will WANT competition to themselves or bother recruiting for peanuts. Otherwise you get something like MoreNiche that is a million noobs recruiting a million noobs and nobody banking other than the first batch of aff's that started up with your product... Make it as attractive both short and long term as possible and do what you can to retain your partners, they will be the brute force of your sales - OR - you will continuously try to do campaigns/media buys in-house for a bigger risk on return.

* Don't be shy to do a huge HUGE promo when you first launch your campaign - whatever network you end up on. Give 1000 away or do it as incent to something, trade the value of 1000 memberships for the year as prizing for other stuff, include unbelievable bonuses in your launch week/month...

PS - Don't become exclusive to any network, and don't be shy when affiliates come to you directly if you can and have in-house tech.
