Taking Payments
If you want money instantly and aren’t interested in paying a commission to affiliates, you could take payments with PayPal. They charge a very reasonable fee, and they are extremely easy to use.
You can also have affiliates with PayPal if you use a special script. There are many PayPal affiliate scripts available, but most are fairly expensive, and many affiliates won’t trust you to pay them unless they know and trust you already.
If you want to have affiliates, it’s a better idea to use a system like ClickBank.com. They have an affiliate system built in, and they already have thousands of active affiliates available to promote quality products.
It’s a good idea to pay affiliates at least 50% commission. If there are other products in your niche, you will need to offer a competitive commission rate in order to get affiliates to choose to promote your product over others. You may have to pay as much as 75% if there is a lot of commission.
Still, you pay nothing up front, and if affiliates make no sales, they won’t get paid anything. You may think it’s not good to lose 75% of your money to an affiliate, plus the fees ClickBank charges to process payments, but those are sales you wouldn’t have gotten anyway if the affiliate didn’t send them.
