Questions about affiliate marketing

by outdoorliving
6 replies
So we've been basically doing all the marketing ourselves. I've never really tried anything with affiliate marketing before. Was hoping to get some guidance here.

I know there are quite a few networks. Which one should I go with? All of them or select ones? (CJ, Linkshare, Google, ShareAsale,etc)

What are some general rules I should put in place?
Our average order value is around $150-200 with about a 2% conversion rate on targeted traffic. What is a good commission that will attract affiliates?

What are some good places to recruit affiliates?

We are a manufacturer and make unique personalized gifts so we have little competition.
We drop-ship so I wanted to recruit some ebay/amazon sellers. Best place to find them?

Sorry for the rambling!

    Is there a reason for you NOT to offer your products on Amazon or ebay directly?

    They have more than plenty of traffic and an affiliate program on their own platform.

    Maybe you need to provide more information about your product so we can offer better suggestions.

    A commission of seven to ten percent is average, with ten being on the rare side for tangible products.

    I would advise you to get started with amazon instead of others.

    Amazon and eBay great for selling products. They have best traffic/customers. 5%-7% Commission will increase your sales.

    If you can't get at least 50% commissions, I would not even bother.

    Try to focus on digital products rather then physical products because your commissions will be higher.

    Physical products tend to get you much lower commissions especially on Shareasale.com.
