Offline/Affiliate Hybrid - Many Questions
2) What are the not-so-obvious pros and cons?
3) As an advertiser, would we have to be capable of handling large volume in order to qualify?
4) If not, can my campaigns be shut off at any time and/or when we reach capacity - then turned back on when we catch up?
5) If my margins prohibit me from paying out no more than $10 - $15 per lead/sale, what would the approximate payout be for the publisher/affiliate vs the network?
----------------------------------
6) If we are unable to use a network, and want to set up an internal affiliate program, is there an easy way to divide, allot and automatically process payouts (e.g. an affiliate sends a buyer to my website with an affiliate ID/hop link, buyer purchases, profits get divided 2 ways [my company/affiliate commission], then, residuals get paid out via subscription to my company, only, each month?
7) If I have affiliates bringing in leads (whether they be online affiliates, or other companies bringing in referrals), is there an easy way to divide, allot and payout residuals automatically (e.g. a computer shop in my town refers his customers to me for website design, splitting the monthly residuals between him and my company each month - for every lead that he brings in etc.)?
8) If I have an LLC, will I be able to pay out commissions/residuals on a contractor (1099) basis? At what point will I be required to do so - or does that vary by state? Is that the best route? (I realize that this question may be best suited for my accountant)
9) Can all of this be easily implemented and automated by way of affiliate network software (everything from affiliate registration, to payouts, to client management and taxes etc.)?
10) Am I dreaming?
Thanks.
