A GOOD affiliate network.

When I see a demand for something, I fill that demand.

Years ago, I ran several. I used to give affiliates what they wanted. I remember cutting 15,000 checks a week. I remember people sending ME gifts, because I made them so much money. I will take over in a matter of months, you can guarantee that.

Who wants to be my partner?

AIM me to talk about it.

Must have atleast 50k to invest. Must have general knowledge of php, html, apache, servers, programming, design, banking networks, accounting, marketing, sales, ect..

If you earned so much money on your own, why do you need somebody else's help? Why not start it on your own and keep all the profits for yourself? $50,000 is a small amount if you were making $15,000 a week.

Good, I hope transparency is one of them. I really hate the concept of "begging" for a bump in pay. A flat % depending on volume would be a great building block for a new aff company.

Good luck ... 50k is just not in my budget though opening something similar has crossed my mind more than a few times.

I've got it - network success plan 101.

- Get your software working and tracking fast and properly BEFORE you start.

- Hire affiliate managers that know their shit... chances are you won't hire many existing ones - instead find people who are 'gasp' making money already.

- have a team of GOOD designers and coders onboard making creatives, landing pages, banners, etc... -- heck even multiple designs per offer.

- make my job easier not harder across the board... sometimes feels from applying to getting paid I've got to jump through hoops.

Oh! Are we giving suggestions? Let me do this one.
-Don't allow merchants to scrub the living shit out of leads without some prior notice.

-Self-host the offers on your own server so we can actually be sure the pixel is firing. I don't trust a lot of merchant sites. Also this could be used to make sure the companies can't just jack our keyword lists.

-Similar to the self-hosting, make an easier whitelabel process so affiliates can design their own LP, get it approved by the company, and then run it that way. It can be on your server, I don't give a damn.


Obviously this is from an affiliate point of view, not a merchant one. But that's the kind of stuff that would have me giddy with happiness.
 
adding xmcp...

- Tracking: No DirectTrack. Realtime stats for sales, clicks, impressions. Also stats should shave hit from robots automatically
- Ability to implant Conversion Tracking on merchant's page without contacting AM
- Global Postback URL
- white label/self hosted lead capture page which able to transfer data to advertiser's server automatically (because its not rare merchants have great products/price/concept but poor landing page, also affiliates can do split test easier) ... hummm anyway this point looks similar as xmcp suggestion above
- Tracking with and without the use of cookies
- Merchant's product feed
- affiliates forum (like Copeac?)
- Weekly payouts via paypal/money booker/wire (please not net 15-30, it's disrupting affiliates cashflow)
- Don't discriminate international affiliates upon acceptance process
- easily contact advertiser with email/chat (ala PepperJam?). This is so we can contact advertisers if they are okay with our promotion material/method, raise payouts, etc

Thats all in my head right now. Those features if implemented would be a wet dream come true!

Question: are you bothered with traffic source as long its not fraudulent, IM/email spam?
Also it would be cool if you have some subscription based programs so we affiliates can get recurring payouts
 
Yeah wish I had the cash to team up but not quite yet.

Also I'd kill for some decent recurring income aff programs.

You need to have pretty solid relationships with advertisers. Getting the affiliates seems pretty easy to me, comparatively. Can you tell me more about your experience a couple years ago?

Nothing pisses me off more when you go from several hundred leads an hour to a few...durr...I might not be bright but I'm not stupid. To me that's fraud when an advertiser/merchant starts scrubbing/dropping/loosing/fucking with my leads but make it look like everything is in tack and running smooth.

To me that's no different then a publisher auto-gen leads or click fraud. Networks need to get strict on advertisers that try and pull this shit all the time with huge ass fines paid to the publisher they are trying to screw.

Networks don't hesitate to come down on shady publishers but they will kiss ass to a shady advertiser.
 
So basically you all want the networks to do everything for you. Cool, I'll add some to the list:

-Daily net 2 payments
-Ability to decide how many leads I want that day
-White label the stats page
-Direct connection with merchants database

How is wanting the networks helping to protect keywords, making sure leads don't get shaved, or wanting to make sure the tracking pixel fires properly every time wanting them to do everything for us? Shit, we don't even have the ABILITY to do a lot of that. And definitely not as effectively as they can.

I think the requests on this thread is FAR from asking the networks to do everything for you. Networks for the most part are making money hand over fist and give little in return ... shit, most of their websites and reporting programs look to be straight out of the 90's.

- Daily payments are not too much to ask for, it's just a program after all. Paypal payments would be a big plus for most people
- you have the ability to decide how many leads you get, it's called working your ass off
- forget stats pages, give direct http requests for your campaigns ... one for just a hit and another for a registered lead. This way you can do your own reporting REAL TIME and keep up with all your campaigns on 1 page on your site.
- If an offer has multiple products, I think an xml feed would work out quite well (no need to hit their DB).

I also would like to see the ability to track affiliates when they send customers to direct product pages. Conversions will go way up for both parties.
