Affiliate Website

[gring54]

Hey there, im looking to start up an affiliate website very soon and was wondering,

im looking to offer cash back to customers (ie we share the commission). Is there any software that would help me track and keep accounts upto date with moneys earned.

I already now the sites im going to use, but thats about it.

I am not sure but BE CAREFUL, this is against the T&C of many affiliate programs -- definitely anything on ClickBank.

I'm not entirely sure on this but I believe 1ShoppingCart will enable you to split commission payments two ways and by doing that you can actually "refund" some money back to the customer.

It's a hosted service and it's not free though!

Hi Gring54,

There might be a couple of ways to do this. The easiest is to ask buyers to opt in to your list so you can offer them a valuable bonus they can't get anywhere else. You could also offer a coupon but again, they would have to get a code from you and how would they do that? Opt in.

And yes you could also do something like this in wordpress. Subscribers would get a code or a password to a protected page with the download link. But depending on the kind of market you are in, a list is the way to go.
