Default What you think will make a good affiliate program

HI,

finally I am seriously think of opening my own affiliate program. In order to set it up right from the beginning, I would like to know what you think is important to have in terms of promo content, FHG, etc.

Please let me hear your thoughts on this!

Thanks,

Michelle

1. A leak free tour that converts
2. A member area that retains (quality content with regular updates)
3. hosted galleries and content zips, updated at least monthly
4. For solo independed sites, use of CCBill for billing.

#'s 1 & 2: Except for the leak free part, these apply more to the site in general than to the affiliate program specifically, but they are very important to both.

#3: This doesn't need to be fancy, just effective and fairly simple to use.

#4: This is personal preference, but I really like the way CCBill aggregates payments from all sponsors into one check. I don't have to wait to meet the payout minimums. I also find most of the other processor based affiliate back ends to be extremely lacking in stats. While CCBill's stats could be better they're leaps and bounds ahead of Verotel and others.

There are lots of other details too, but those are the most important to me when I'm deciding where to push my traffic. I'm signed up with hundreds of programs, but only actively push traffic to a 25 to 30.

Hi Toby,

thanks for the inputs!

1. Ok, understood. Do you have an example of a good tour?
2. I got very good rebills, so my content seems ok :-)
3. How much content you think is needed to start with?
4. Unfortunately CCBill is not working with countries outside US&EU, but my processor offers affiliate services: http://www.affiliate-cash.de/index.p...n&kat=&progid=

Thanks!!!

Michelle

If that can help you Michelle...

I recently discover a nice provider who can surely make all that CCBill makes ...
ArdoCash ....
For a good tour, take a look of my good friend PassionUk

In this thread I posted my top 5 leg/nylon/lingerie sponsors, those would all be examples of good tours.

You should have at least 10 to 12 hosted galleries & content zips to start with, then add 3 or 4 each month. Maintain an email list of affiliates and send out a notice each time you add promo content. That keeps your program in front of their faces. If at all possible include links to the new hosted galleries with each of their affiliate ID's already in the links. I know this is easy with CCBill, not so sure about the others.

Many processors offer affiliate program services, but to be honest most of them are seriously lacking in affiliate tools. I want to be able to track my sales by referring url, know what rebills are still active, etc.

a good topic michelle,

as i plan to make a affiliate program myself, this is what i have found on gfy what makes a good affiliate program:

-EMBEDDED VIDEOS (to easily put it into blogs)
-RSS FEEDS (do you guys think its helpful ?)
-VERY EASY TO USE
-FOR BANNERS A LOT OF DIFFERENT COLORS
-PAYOUT WITH EPASSPORT (do you guys prefer payouts in epassport ?)
-LOW PAYOUT LESS THEN US 200,--
-FULL ACESS TO MEMBERS AREA (could be dangerous if paysite contains mixed content like exclusive and licensed)
-WEEKLY UPDATED FHG WITH !!! DESCRIPTION
-MAKE THE FHGS THAT AFFILIATES CAN PUT THEIR TGP RECIP ON THE GALLERY (i am not sure how this should work, unless you give your affiliates a ftp access)
-EMAIL WEBMASTER WITH NEW PROMO CONTENT AND SPECIAL PAYOUTS
-WEEKLY PAYOUTS
-FHGS WITH LARGE HOSTED THUMBS
-EAT CHARGEBACKS INHOUSE ! (good content site should not have more than 2% chargeback and thats really affordable)
- FPAs and HPAs (i dont know if that makes sense, do you guys use them ?)
and finally: (this is very important for me because i originally come from hospitality industry):

Make your webmasters feel special and remotely important.!!!!!!!!!!
a good affiliate manger that spends time talking with your webmasters is key.

regards

Eddie,

thanks, surley some good points in there, but I think one needs to find a compromise of what a site owner can do and what the WM want :-) But listen to the WM's is the very first important point also in my view. They are your marketing department, that can only be good with proper assistance and tools (and $$ of course) :-)

Take everything you read on GFY with at least a few grains of salt. In my opinion, NONE of what is listed above is what I would consider affiliate program essentials. Big multisite sponsor programs have the staff and cash flow to handle all of that, but the independent has only so much time to manage it all.

Just give me the basics, and be receptive to special requests and I'm happy.

Toby, this sounds reasonable. I'll do my homework and once I am finished, I'll post it here :-) Thanks for all your inputs!

Hi Eddi

for all above ....

1 - So it's necessary to put videos on your website ??? My God, many personnal website don't have any videos and runs an acceptable numbers of members . . . but that's a personnal point ....
2 - I am still searching this function on my system 5 in CCBill ....seriously, it's an advantage of course, but is it really essential ???
3 - A full access to my memberzone.....why not write on the join page : don't pay me, you just have to give me a domain name...and it's free !!! If that, why make FHG ? That's the only tool the webmaster who has to promote you need....he doesn't have to see the full content .... if he wants , he just have to pay
4- If you leave in your FHG 12 pics in full quality ,you just have to pick all the FHG on all the TGP to be satisfied, you can take the adress above, change the number of the page.....and you have 1/8 of the member's area content for free
5- In many case, for a personnal website, the owner, is the webmaster and the model, you don't have the money to pay all that stuff

Members area access is a big deal for me if I am going to make custom galleries (which are way more profitable than fhgs). I think most webmasters get too wrapped up in trying to protect their content from their affiliates and don't realize that the stuff is going to get out whether or not you like it.
So long as my content has watermarks and isn't every full set listed in one place I'm happy people take it and spread it around the net, more likely surfers will see and join since I update with new exclusive content every few days!

Well, I give some free access at some affiliate ( Jscott, if you need a new code, it's time to ask ) but, I must absolutely know the webmaster . . .
Understand that I know it's quite easy to sign up on a cash program......
As a woman, it's sure I am not so interested by the full access of a website than you...but .....seriously, "the big deal " is possible if I have a direct contact with !!!
