Ways to Pay People For Leads

4 replies
Hey,

I am considering paying people for delivering leads for my opt-in list. My question is this:

How Could/Should I do This?

I am on Aweber and was thinking that for each person that signs up I give them their own personal squeeze page on my site eg. mysite.com/advertiser1squeezepage/ and then just paying them based on how many confirmed subscribers come from that ad.

My problem with this method is that it is a bit basic so a number of people would not be willing to do it if you get my meaning.

What do you guys think? Am I just overthinking this?

Also what sort of price per sign-up would you expect to receive? My list gives away free sports picks

Thanks for any help guys.

    If you've got some money to invest, you can get a stand alone affiliate program like Affiliate Program Tracking Software - AffiliateShop that will let you pay people per lead..

    That's who I plan to use once I get my affiliate program launched for my offline lead business.

    Right now, I've just been doing JV's with people with lists and giving them their own landing page. It works decent enough, but only do one JV at a time or it can get hard to manage.

    Also, be sure to pay your affiliates net-30 until they establish some rapport with you. And be sure to scrub the leads ASAP so that you're not paying people for sending you bogus leads.

      You could use a GET variable in PHP

      so it would just be: mysite.com/sqeeze.php?aff=advertiser1
      Then when they click that, you could count it as a score for advertiser one, record the IP then redirect the user...if that IP joins your list or buys something, you can award the affiliate.

      Maybe I am thinking to programmatically.

    Two points:

    1: This concept, although potentially profitable, is ripe for abuse. So, pick partners you trust to do this.

    2) For "big dog" partners, pull out all the stops. For one previous product I had, I created specific URL's by hand for them, like: yoursite.com/enter.html ...That way, it appears to the reader like that's the actual URL they need to get to.

    Heck, I've even created special URL's, for someone who was publishing a book who didn't want to appear to be profiting from their links. (smart)

    ...So I created a special URL for the book that lead readers to believe they were getting something special, when in reality they were only tracking the sale.

    Bottom line: Protect yourself from abuse, and treat your top affiliates like gold.

      I was thinking about this and I may go on opens to determine if the lead should be scrubbed. Ie. after two weeks if the user only opened the first email then he is obviously a false lead.

      Things like that are easy to setup with aweber. Thanks for all the responses so far guys they really are giving me some ideas, ill keep you all posted on what I decide to do.

      Also what would you guys expect to be paid for something like this? You are directing people to submit their email address in order to receive free sports picks.

      Thanks again guys
