Is $2/month per sign up to low?

13 years ago

That's not a ton, but if it converts well and has enough demand, then it's pretty good. I promote a program that has a $5/month monthly payout, but it also has an initial payout of $150-200.

Mr. James,

Thanks for the reply...

Many programs are set up like that...large payouts upfront, and low back ends. We could not offer anything like that....

Any other ideas how we can motivate affiliates to start? like monthly rewards to performers like $100 free ppc. or plane tickets?

your thoughts
- Thanks

As long as you allowed me to market it locally (meaning many IP's would come from same area) hell yeah I'd jump all over that.

thanks for the reply....

why would an advertiser care if many ip's came from the same area?

Our program is $4.95 monthly subscription. we plan to pay affiliates $2.00 per month for each client...number of clients they can sign up is unlimited....

Also we would play affiliates via paypal...does this work or do most affiliates prefer other methods in getting paid?

Thanks

We are in the process of licensing the product and patent pending the software. I will notify you when we launch if you send me your email...

Just like anything else the people who make the most cash flow are the guys who get in first...

Thanks for the info,

Higher price would be great, however we did run surveys and people who fully understand our product stated they were around the $4-$5 per month area.

$2 may seem a bit low for affiliates, but one sale could potential relate to $24 (1yr) $48(2yr)... ect

The lower price combined with the product's overall image (were launching a flash game to boost the brand)

will impact conversions. I appreciate your im put on the cheapness of the product. Do you have any ideas how to get affiliates excited over $2??

Thanks

If you cn upscale it without doing any work i.e. outsourcing then it's worth it.

Not sure what you are saying??

Outsource the promotion via affiliate?

We have put over 3 months of work into the program thus far. :confused:

Well your question was would I promote it? This is what I would do to promote it, providing it converted well I would outsource it. Frankly at $2 per month per unit it would take too much promotion on my part to hit an acceptable income alone, but outsourcing it would be an option.

you would outsource the marketing,

okay i get that. So my frim would have to offer a two tier structure...so affiliates under you would get paid and you get paid...that's easy.

What would be a fair split? $1/$1??

Thanks

Not necessarily, smart marketers would do it differently i.e. pay the outsourcee a set amount per unit directly. You could do a two-tier system for the less experienced but cover your back legally if you do so.

sounds good,

don't know where you find outsourced marketers???... I know we are a month or so away from our launch..we are beta testing...

We will soon be looking for an affiliate manager...To be our affiliate manager you have to get 100 signups as an affiliate before we get to contracts and perks.

Cheers,
Bill

That's going to breach PayPal's terms of service, isn't it?

I'm not saying it won't work, but I think you may not be able to do that and use PayPal to pay the affiliates? You certainly need to check with them, IMHO, before worrying too much about the details, anyway ...

  I haven't checked it for the last few months, but it used to be breaching their terms of service to pay affiliates override commissions on affiliates they have introduced. (I think it's because that gives people a clear financial incentive to promote "a business opportunity" and to PayPal, if "override commissions" are earned, that's tantamount to "network marketing", and any suggestion of that is certainly prohibited by them. I don't claim that it's logical or reasonable, but those were certainly their terms, when I last looked).
  
  Other marketers have also certainly had threads/conversations here on exactly the same point, and reported back that PayPal wouldn't allow it. (There are other ways of paying affiliates/distributors, of course, but they may not be quite as popular?).

  Thank you for the heads up.
  
  We are planning to go two tier deep the deepest. We have invested well over 15k in the program already and have a good amount of pre sign-ups. So we are excites to launch. If we can offer an override commission its not a deal breaker.
  
  Do you have any good non-traditional ideas for growing an affiliate base outside of the warrior forum...?
  
  Best

Provided it was a good quality product that did something useful, then I'd have no problem with the numbers. I think far too many digital products are priced too highly and I am all for providing good value to the user.

If the product was easy enough to promote, then no doubt I would take full advantage of it. Since it would be recurring income, I could then start staking commissions and build a nice little income stream.

It would depend on how much work is involved and what the conversions are. If I could get clicks and conversions from simply adding a banner to a site's rotation or something, sure, why not.

It's all about ROI - if I can make more from the promotion than I put into it, it's worth considering and measuring against whatever I'm bypassing. Opportunity cost, that is.
