Hey everyone, I'm just starting to get into the world of affiliate marketing. I have been educating myself for a while now and feel that I want to jump in soon. I have a buddy with an affiliate network and have been learning a bunch from him as well. Any tips, advice comments about my understanding and plan of action would be greatly appreciated:
I would be an affiliate network with affiliates signing up on my site to promote the campaigns I have at that moment.
I am going to have someone code the PHP and design the site, design the tracking system so that would be taken care of.
I would get the offers and campaigns from a variety of lead generation companies which I have already contacted.
The start up money is going to be taken care of so that is a non issue.
what are the best ways to drive traffic to my network, do I need to spend a lot in advertising per day?
Does my understanding and plan seem to be ok and workable or am I missing something here?
another thing, most affiliate networks are strategic partners with roughly the same companies (netfilx, blockbuster, columbia house, experian, vista print etc), how do they become partners with them? join their affiliate program and that gives them the right to put up a partner banner?
Thanks!
