Chapter 10: Affiliate Program
Get Hundreds of Other Sites Sending You Traffic
ShareASale.com brings together your great products with a network of affiliate partners eager to promote those products. The process is called Affiliate Marketing, and here is how it works:
- Sign up as a Merchant at ShareASale.com — for a limited time, setup is only $150. Your affiliate program can be up and running in only a few hours.
- Upload your banners through the Banner Management Center on ShareASale.com.
- Set your commission rate — the amount you want to pay affiliates for each sale they bring you. For example, 20% of the sale, or a flat $2.00 per conversion.
- Affiliate partners see your program and subscribe to promote your products.
- Affiliates put your banners on their websites and traffic starts flowing through to your site.
- When a sale or lead is generated, ShareASale checks if an affiliate brought you that sale and automatically credits them the commission.
- At month end, ShareASale pays your affiliates — you simply maintain your balance.
Why This Works: You only pay for performance. No traffic = no cost. 100 affiliates promoting your site is like having 100 unpaid sales people working for you 24 hours a day. As long as you keep your balance with ShareASale, your affiliates are paid and motivated to keep sending traffic.
