Affiliate Marketing as a Merchant

The problem with running a successful web site is that you are at the mercy of the search engines. We can tell you stories of sites that we have owned that have been running very nicely indeed, making lots of money, only for them to fall off the search engines and cause our income to drop massively. Having all your eggs in one basket is a risky strategy. Why not explore ways of spreading your services across other web sites, sites that are owned by other people who will sell your services for you?

Being a merchant and running an affiliate program means that your affiliates will use code on their sites to sell your services in return for a commission. You can set the rules and the rates of payment. Then, all the expenses associated with promoting a site that sells your services fall on the affiliate rather than on you. If the affiliate is successful then they rightly deserve their commission. If they are not successful then you don't have to pay them. Just set a reasonable threshold (e.g. you will pay their commission once their running total reaches £x) and only the serious merchants will need to be paid.

Using a Service to Run Your Affiliate Program
Affiliates can be suspicious of a merchant's honesty and willingness to pay out for sales that they generate. They are also a knowledgeable bunch of people so don't be tempted to take advantage of them. They have forums where your name can bre blackened if you try an unfair trick.

It is good practice to entrust the running of the program to an independent company. This way, the sales that affilaites make can be checked by you, and by the affiliates, at any time. Running totals of commissions earned can be retained. Your program can be promoted to their existing affiliates who are already running other program with them. Genuinely interested affiliates will check their stats on the affiliate program admin site, adjust their web sites, and see how best they can generate sales for you. Transparency and fair play are the best way to run an affiliate program.
