Which affiliate program for my niche product?

Hey Warriors, I'd love your opinion on which Affiliate program I should use for my niche products and website.

My website is Expandable Banners.com | Push Down Banners | Corner Peel Banners | Takeover Banners and it sells a media kit for web graphic designers to create their own expandable banners. It’s in the Web/Graphic Design niche. The product costs $199.99

Currently I’m only accepting Paypal and I don’t have an affiliate program.
I’ve been toying with the idea of switching from paypal to clickbank or Shareasale or WP affiliate, and offering a 75% commission.

A similar product that is in the same web graphic design niche is Popup Domination
PopUp Domination and from what I’ve seen they are doing very well with only using clickbank.

There’s another product that uses a different affiliate programs called Nivo Slider. Nivo Slider - The World's Most Popular jQuery & WordPress Image Slider They are using a Wordpress WP Affiliate to manage their affiliate program. They also seem to be doing very well.

However, I have some reservations about using clickbank for my particular product because on clickbank it seems like the web design section does not get much attention. (I don't know if this is a problem or not?)
For my niche would it be better to continue to use Paypal and simply add a third-party affiliate software that I have more control over? I plan to release more products in the same niche.

Have any of you had experience going from a Paypal only product then switching to clickbank exclusively?
Did you see an increase of sales & total income?

Thanks for any tips.

    You can better go with Clickbank itself, so that you don't need to manage affiliate payments, refunds and all. "Web-Design" niche may not get much attention from CB affiliates, but with your other 2 options (Paypal and custom affiliate program) , there is no marketplace at all. You have to do affiliate recruitment yourself. With Clickbank, a marketplace is still available and you will get a few affiliates from there.

    To supercharge your business, you can contact the people in similar niche (copywriters for example) and propose a JV deal with them to promote your product to their customer base.

    Hi,

    Have you looked into JVZoo? Both ClickBank and JVZoo would be solutions, but you will still need to recruit affiliates if you want to increase sales (they won't just jump on out of the blue).

      One other question. Is it possible to keep my paypal set up as is, but still add an a second buy page that only has the clickbank checkout there?

      Or if you use clickbank do you have to remove your own paypal buy buttons?

        You need to remove Paypal buttons when you setup the product with Clickbank and add the payment button for Clickbank. You can use any number of payment processors you want, create one page with your existing Paypal option, another page for Clickbank etc. You just need to configure the right pages with each platform.
