Hello everyone,
I am the owner of a website that sells decorative items and housewares, and because of the economy, foreclosure rate, etc, sales have been slow. I'd like to supplement my income, and was thinking that an affiliate program may be the right way to do this.
Here's basically what I have:
a corporation which owns 4 domain names
1 is up and running, and I don't want to do affiliate sales through it (I do dropshipping and wholesale, and it works out well except for the current issues I mentioned earlier.)
The other 3 are just sitting there, but are suited well for selling jewelry, travel related items and craft supplies.
A pretty decent niche market/readership.
I was originally going to do wholesale for the jewelry site, but the start up cost is going to be pretty great, so I thought maybe becoming an affiliate would be a good way to go.
So my basic question is this: Would it be beneficial for me to join an affiliate program for the other sites? Or would it be better for me to scrape up the money and just do wholesale? Could I do both on the same site and make it seem seamless?
Thank you all for your time!
