Setting Up Affiliate Scheme

[tlmartin]

Hi

I have an opencart based online shop

I have set up the Affiliate scheme on it, as I'd like to use the idea of people recommending my products to others to help drive more traffic to my shop

My products are great, and my prices are good, often compete well against Amazon

I just need my name out there more.

Opencart as you probably know has an inbuilt affiliate management scheme for tracking etc, and I have activated it

I have added a section to Terms & Conditions about affiliates

I am just curious if there are any common pitfalls I should be aware of?
If anyone would be happy to go have a look and see if I have anything missed etc

I plan primarily to approach a few local charities to get them on the scheme as they would be able to recommend to their followers and it would help raise money for them
During this time I'd be reading the posts here about getting sign ups

Thanks for any help you can provide
