Hi
Plugin:
AffiliateWp: pricy or not the idea is to launch fast with a low budget with what we have in this forum, then buy the licenses when we make money.
In any way, there are other affiliate plugins cheaper, see on themeforest and similar sites. you do not have to use the exact stuff I use.
Platforms:
Affiliate platforms: I didn't test that, so I do not know... but if you are going to build a serious website that sells serious products, MAYBE W+ and JVZOO are not the best options... Again I do not know, for me personally, Clickbank or others always seemed more serious to me... Give it a try, use both the plugin and one platform at the same time and see what works.
Affiliates:
Affiliates have to write (How will you promote us?) when registering... If I like what I read I accept them, if not, I refuse... So, I do not accept everybody... The most I refused are some spammers with weird links and weird sentences, like "blablabla" or "I want to make money" etc...
Note: Strangely there are very few bots who register too even with google captcha etc!
Commissions:
Commissions are delayed, as I give 30 days guarantee for every product I sell and I explain that to affiliates... No one argued with that.
Affiliate links:
I do not have hundreds of products, I barely reached 31 for now (free and paid courses... Notice that some paid courses have 2 levels, beginners and advanced).
The aff plugin has addons to create a specific aff link for a specific product, even another one called "landing page" or something like that,
BUT I DO NOT USE THEM, as I want the traffic to come to all the site + I do not want to complicate things, I want it to be, register, be activated, copy the link, start promoting.
Note: it's easy to add the affiliate ID to any product link, so that affiliates direct traffic where they want, and again, I explain that to my affiliates.
Remember: I focus on affiliates more than anything else, I have a small community for them, they can reach me live, etc.
Remember, The idea is to launch in one weekend even with 1 or 2 products, then add more, the next days.
Hope this helps.
