Hi all,

I am a new marketer with next to NO experience. I have a software that I sell on my website that is geared towards the drop shipping (arbitrage) industry I just released version 2 of my software and am looking to create a sales funnel which includes some or all of the following:

Squeeze page to capture email addresses to build my getresponse autorepsonder list
My products sales page (hosted on my website)
A jvzoo.com product launched product in a similar industry type (drop shipping)

This leads me to a few of questions:

I have signed up to be a seller on jvzoo so I could get affiliate marketers to promote my software product. But how do I screen the affiliates to see if their traffic/list is in my Niche/industry of drop shipping (or do I not bother doing this?)

I realize there are many different types of traffic sources but where do I make sure I get targeted drop shipping traffic from all the different sources?

I have signed up to be an affiliate with jvzoo as well and would like to also promote a jvzoo.com product as a secondary product in my sales funnel. is this a good idea or should I just focus on selling my product only?

Is it proper jvzoo.com seller/affiliate etiquette to send affiliate traffic to my personal squeeze page (if I am the seller) before sending it to my sales page? I am not sure how to handle this step when building my sales funnel.

Again i'm just starting out and want to keep it as simple as possible so I am unsure how to proceed but at the same time I don't want to squander the traffic that these affiliates/traffic sources send me.

Please share with me any other marketing tips you have for my situation and thank you very much for your help!
