MaxBounty Question

Perihelion · 05-05-2011, 03:49 AM

I have a brand new site that is just a shade over one month old as well as a facebook page for the business. As of this writing I have had four sales and I have over 500 fans on the facebook page. I want to launch a affiliate marketing campaign and more than one of you have pointed me in the direction of MaxBounty. I'm going to call them later today for more info but I wanted to know from an advertiser's point of view what some of your opinions are about the company?

How much does it cost to launch a campaign?
Can you control what type affiliates pick up your campaign?
Can you control how they are compensated and where they run their ads? For instance, I prefer they not advertise on Facebook.

Also, since I am absolutely new to this I was hoping someone could give me an idea of some basic essentials I should provide for affiliates that decide to advertise my products. Do I provide the banner ads, articles, logos, etc...?

I guess I should also ask if I'm allowed to play on both sides of the fence with one account: Offer products to promote as well as promote other companies products?

Thanks in advance everyone.

Are there no advertisers on here that use MB to sell their own products? Or were my questions too obtuse

Your best bet is to contact mb directly for these questions. I doubt many people on here are merchants.

I did, apparently I don't make enough money to be worthy of their service.

Looks like I may have to roll my own affiliate platform, which just dumps me back where I was before - having to expend scant time marketing, but now I will also be marketing to potential affiliates.

Is there a forum similar to this one that caters to the needs of merchants?
