Hello,
lemme give you an excellent solution. All you do is join Clickbank.com for accepting your payments of hosting from your clients. ClickBank (http://zzz.clickbank.net/r/?)offers a built in affiliate program and you set the commision rate e.g 5% or anything..
I came to know that you are accepting payment from Instabill.com.. so i gave you this solution..

All your affiliates is to do is to signup for an account at ClickBank (http://zzz.clickbank.net/r/?) and they can link back to your website. A cookie would be set so that when the clients click on the order page located at ClickBank and the order is processed the affiliate gets his share accordingly to percentage you have set at the ClickBank your account.

You have to pay an amount of US$40 for one time activation fees.
but your affiliates don't have to pay anything.

They have to pay the setup fees incase that they want to sell their own intangible products..
it is that simple..
isn't it???

any questions are most welcome..
any how. how can you manage to give out the hosting for US$5.00 per year.. ??

how many clients do you have??
can you pull out the Cost price of your server??

When you join please join with the link given or by clicking here.. because i am their reseller.. it won't cost you anything else except US$40 (normal setup fees)

http://zzz.clickbank.net/r/?

is the link through which you may join..
please..

Thanks for your comment.

There is
http://cj.com
http://www.associateprograms.com/
http://www.associate-it.com/
http://www.sitecash.com
http://www.clickquick.com/
http://www.webmaster-programs.com

All these have some sort of program. All you have to do is get on any search engine and type in affiliate program and hit search. You'll have alot of research work ahead of you on joining programs to suit your needs. I think you shouldn't limit yourself to the sales of another member to influence you into something.

Omar,

I've registered clickbank yesterday.

http://www.clickbank.net/sell.cgi?demo1/2/Declaration_of_Independence

How do u create it?

"You have to pay an amount of US$40 for one time activation fees", I've sign up yesterday and they didn't ask credit card for activation payment.

How do u go about in doing it?

Lastly do u use clickbank?

Thanks

Hello,

Once you pay the activation fees you can create these urls..


secondly, to pay the setup fees login to your account..
click on access account..
once this is done..
there would be something like activate your account or anything like that only..
click on that and you would be taken to the order page..

the link would look like this
http://www.clickbank.net/sell.cgi?yournick/1/product_name_here

when you would click on access my account.. and once the access account page is loaded.. move down to the bottom of the page and there you would see that there are some empty fields like page#1 and page#2 and so on..
enter your product name over there and price..
you cannot increase the price than $0.01 before you pay the setup fees..
but after paying you can increase the price limit..

Yes, ofcourse i do use Clickbank.com..
my nick is 'cinewebs'

anything else.


Thanks,

Thanks Omar, but there is $1.00 + % for each sales. I guess
it will automatically remove all minimal profits I have :(

Thanks again Man.

Ever thought of getting your own script? If you wander around Hotscripts.com or other scripting sites you're bound to run across a few. I haven't ever found a free one (the one we use is $200), but once it's bought, and set up it's free to run. Of course it means you have to organize and pay your affiliates yourself, but you do retain full control over the system.

Thanks akashik, but paying $200 is a lot of money as I don't stay in U.S. The best option I taught would be is to use something like clickbank. If I use clickbank I've to increase my webhosting package price which is something I don't wanna to do. Maybe u could help? :)

Thanks anyway

liteoff,

The URL above shows 5 pages of affiliate software. Quite a few are crappy amazon affiliate type things but there's plenty in there that offer what you're looking for. Some are pretty pricy like the $200+ I mentioned but some are quite reasonable ($40 or less). That's about the best list I've seen so far.

liteoff,


There's the rub *lol* That's something you need to work out for yourself. In our case it's by check for anything over $20. I'm thinking of looking at PayPal though as it allows people to just be credited straight to their cards - pretty simple. The thing is to set a minimum limit that's reasonable. 300 checks for $2.50 or so is going to make a mockery of the system, while making people earn $100 a month or whatever isn't going to attract anyone.
