Is There a Way To Set an "Affiliate Program" to Get Referrals for Mobile Marketing?

Hi guys and gals

Is there a way to automatically track coupons, referrals, etc?

I would like to offer anyone a chance to recommend my mobile marketing services to businesses they know/talk to - and get paid for it.

One way I'm thinking of is to use coupons. The business gets a discount, and it identifies to me who referred the clients as the coupon code is linked to the referrer.

The issue is it costs money on both ends - to the referrer, and the discount. And it's a manual process.

And man, so many people fear that they won't get their due commissions it's weird. Maybe with automation it would be less of an issue.


And I'd want to distribute flyers and whatnot offering this way to make money, so automation is key.

Much like an affiliate program, but since businesses have to actually deal with me to buy, it's not automated on the product delivery side. I'd just want to set it up so that people know they'll get paid - even total strangers who see a flyer or our website.

Any ideas on how to set something up like that?

Thanks

    I use a service called DAP. Digital Access Pass. It's membership software and it's very robust, but it has all of the capabilities you mentioned above. Greg

    I've taken a look at it. Seems nice though maybe overkill to what I want to do but maybe not. Thanks Greg.

    I give businesses who I work with or even speak with my business card. I go through a ton of them, and they're honestly some of my best advertising.

    I tell them to put their name and number on the back of the cards they had out to their colleagues, and I'll give 'em $100 each and every time someone new signs-on.

    I don't have a problem at all with "tracking" - I get the card back with their name and number; and then I know exactly who's getting paid.

    And my clients and partners have never even raised suspicion about me "shorting" them - and I never have. So long as you're an honest, respectable person, no one in the business world won't trust this system (with very few exceptions). Being established a little bit also helps build this trust.

      When it comes to pure consulting, that's the way I go about it. Except that if get your method, you leave many business cards to the same person?

      With mobile, it's so widen open, I'd like "pure strangers" to be able to send business my way and make money too.
