I met with a website developer this morning, and I was asking questions about using my own site with Liebermans data, versus utilizing Liebermans site templates, hosting package, etc.
I mentioned what I had seen about postercheckout.com, and his first question was "why don't you just become an affiliate and not spend the money on a separate site" I said "good question"
He got his start in the "affiliate" business, so I asked him about percentages, etc. and he said that 25-30% was high for an affiliate program. Most pay around 8% or less. He also mentioned that there are ways to set up a site so that there is a direct link clicked so you get credit, becaue there is criteria that determines if credit is given.
Now, I haven't thought about this much, but, I would like to pose it to you guys out there...what do you think?? What are the pros & cons, etc. Off the top of my head, I could spew a few things, but I am in my research phase, and am curious as to what you all think.
Thanks,
Elaine
p.s. I posted this on the other forum, under postercheckout.com and wasn't getting any reaction. Got any ideas???
