how do you deal with affiliates

2 replies
Hello

A number of years ago I opened my doors to others to promote my service for a %. Basic affiliate marketing 101.

But i never thought i'd have to baby sit and deal with so much B*S*

Daft things like paying through their own link to ge the sale/commission then reversing the payment. False advertising telling the customer anything to get the sale. Which made me look bad. I can't police them all depsite telling them. Seems most will sell thir own mothers for money.

Enough was enough I pulled the plug.

Is it the way it is? Any way to vet out the B*S* artists? I don't know whether to open it up ever gain or just go alone. I guess going alone is less headaches.

Thx

    If you can go on your own and still make decent money, this is the way to go.

    If you have a lot of good affiliates making you sales and are not giving you a hard time like some, allow them to promote your product.

    When it comes to having your own affiliate program and affiliates promoting for you is that there will always be some bad apples. You just have to roll with it and don't fret too much about it.
