Help me in attracting your attention as an independent merchant
I am finishing up the development of a product that will be priced at retail at $200/mo, which is ridiculously low (annual rate, monthly rate is about $333).
I am not going to hype it in this message, but let's just say offline consultants who work with clients of 0-15 employees will love it and their clients will eat it up. We might actually initially expand the total employees count to 0-25 at launch just to keep things easy.
Once done, I am looking at starting an affiliate program.
So, first of all, I am trying to figure out how much to pay you.
I am thinking of paying somewhere in the neighborhood of $100 CPA for each sale of my product. Would that be enough to get your attention?
As far as I can tell, that's at the upper end of CJ and Clickbank.
Secondly, I am working on setting up expiring codes embedded into URL that automatically expire. Would it be acceptable to require you to login to your affiliate site to get a new code before you send out a blast? I'd like to keep them alive short at about 10-14 days of lifetime.
There won't be a way to enter a coupon code directly. My direct copy and video will mention only retail price.
I am also trying to neutralize the "let me google for a discount code" effect. An affiliate code will be invalid if the visitor hit our site first and we put a cookie on them and recorded their IP. Sorry, but can't see another way.
To keep things easier on my NOC (supporting East coast means adding another shift at 5am), I am looking at working with offline consultants in the Pacific time zone of USA initially. Working with online marketers might work if you know where your subscribers live.
So this is what I have in mind so far. Your thoughts?
