My next site is going to be a directory of custom product makers. They make high-priced items but they're usually a completely custom order, so there's usually no online store, let alone affiliate program for these sellers. What I want to do is contact them individually and offer to refer customers for a commission. I have the general plan but need advice with a couple things.
1) I need to set up a system where customers can be traced to me. Some of these sellers don't sell online, they just do business over the phone or email. The "tell him I sent you" approach seems unofficial and open to getting stiffed.
2) I need to set up a payment agreement. I don't know much about contracts. I need a good way to make payment terms official.
