Paypal affiliate script - $7 secrets?

Ah, that's a cool way, thanks!

Btw, what is if someone decides to get a refund?
Do I have to handle all the refunds with my money/paypal account or how does this work?

The 7 Dollar Secret Script is only as powerful as it could be if you actually offer 100% commissions.

Here's why:

Let's say you decide you want to build a business around the...hmmm... knitting market.

So, you create a small, informative report that YOU would be willing to pay $7 for (the price doesn't really matter- it could be more than $7 if you want). Now, you offer affiliates 100% commission on the sale of your general knitting report.

You are thinking "I did the hard work and wrote the report, so I should get some of the profit" right?

Well, in the long run, you are!

You see... when your affiliates get 100% commission, they are more interested in actually promoting your product. During the payment/download process, the buyer is given an opt-in box to sign up for YOUR list.

Let's say you have 100 affiliates that each sell 5 of your products. You could have a list of 500 people built on autopilot.

Soon after, you create another report for the knitting niche. You can send a broadcast email to people who you already know are buyers (the 500 person list of buyers your affiliates built for you). Now, out of those 500 people, whoever buys your new report will be directly paying you- not the affiliate who built the list for you.

Some may buy, some may not... but those who buy may find out that they can make a 100% commission off of your product- and the cycle continues.

Of course, this is the ideal way for the 7 dollar secret script to work. You can tweak it how you want- offer 50% commission if you want- but in my opinion, building a list of BUYERS is more profitable than a sale that brings me $3.50. What affiliate is going to promote a product that only pays them for every-other sale they make anyway?

Just my 2 cents

Sales go like this:

One to the affiliate

One to you

One to the affiliate

One to you

if you want to reverse it

At the end of function getPaymentEmail (in index.php) are the following lines of code:
Code:

if($percent > 0 && $affper<=$percent){
# Give OTO to affiliate.
$email = urldecode($_COOKIE["aff"]);
}
else{
# Give OTO to vendor.
$email = $sys_default_email;
}


In my copy of the source, the above lines of code begin at line 216.

If you change the first line of that code to:
Code:
if($afftotal>0 && $percent > 0 && $affper<=$percent){


sales will go to the affiliate only on second and subsequent sales.

It depends on the circumstances.

If the buyer, goes into Paypal and refunds.. then whoever received the payment from that particular sale, will have to deal with the refund.

BUT

The buyer may contact you as the website owner, and request a refund manually. In which case, you will have to either send them the refund and request it from your affiliate, or your affiliate will have to manually refund the purchase.

Peace
