Affiliate Discounts
I just had a thought.. maybe one of you (or more) might have an answer.
What if I were to make a product for, say, $75... But offer a separate link for affiliates to resell it at $70 and earn their commission as well. Sure it'd be money out of my pocket, but I'm thinking it would give all the affiliates a LOT more incentive to sell, since the "big dog" is undercutting his own price to make them even more competitive.
Then, I could get out of the sales aspect, focus more on the message, take whatever sales I happen to get, but get a really driven sales force eager to save their list, or their contacts, or whatever, money over buying the product "retail" through me.
What do you think? Too gimmicky? Too much profit loss? Or a clever way to incentivize and encourage the affiliates?
