Membership Site Owners - How do you pay Affiliates?
I'm setting up a subscription service (i.e. membership site!) and I had a question.
I was wondering how other Warriors with membership sites recruit, track and pay their affiliates recurring payments?
- Do you use ClickBank?
- Do you use PayDotCom?
- Do you use another Payment Processor?
- Do you use a self-hosted or "roll your own" solution?
Ideally I'd like to be able to pay affiliates a recurring commission of 50%, and I'd also like the option of a 2-tiered program where affiliates could recruit other affiliates and earn an additional 10% on signups under them.
I'm a programmer and could easily put together a custom solution using PayPal or using a commercial script like AMember, but I really don't want to manage the payments myself if it can be avoided. I like the idea of ClickBank and PayDotCom because of their existing base of qualified affiliates and their reputation in the IM community , but I'm not sure they offer the services I need:
- I would like the payments to occur automatically.
- I would like any tax paperwork (for US affiliates and international ones) to be handled by someone else!
- I would like to have a customer service department for my affiliates to contact if they have issues with their payments
I'n NOT looking for a solution where someone hosts the whole site for me, the system I have built is quite unique and its hosting requirements are very stringent.
I need to get this figured out soon, as I really can't assemble the membership component until I know how the whole payment process works. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
