This is a double post. I think I posted this previously in the wrong thread..
I basically need to know where to begin. I have two products that I want to sell through affiliate networks. The problem I see so far while researching is that affiliate networks only work for digital products like books, is that true?
Here's what I'm looking to sell. Maybe I should just start there and you can then tell me where to begin. (thanks for the help)
One product is a garden system. The other is chapter 7 bankruptcy. I'll explain both.
The garden system is a large wood structure that must be pre-built in my shop and then assembled at the client's house. I get on average $8000 to $12000 for these things. I'd be willing to pay affiliates handsomely for helping me to get jobs.
The chapter 7 bankruptcy is a little different. In this case, i have a website where people can go, enter minimal info and find out if they even qualify for bankruptcy or not. It's like a wizard. I get an email alert if someone has been to through the wizard. If they qualify, one of my employees calls the person, gathers more info and tries to wrap up the deal by securing a payment.
I guess my issue in both scenarios is that I don't want to (can't) pay per lead. Anyone can drive traffic to the sites. What I want instead is a situation where I only pay for clients that I've gained and have made an initial payment.
I assume that I'd need affiliate tracking software but more importantly, I'm guessing that i'd need affiliates who would be willing to be paid only on deals obtained. I'd need a system that would allow the affiliate to feel confident that i'm not ripping them off by taking their leads, gaining clients and then not paying them. Again, hopefully there is a good technology solution for this.
I'd pay really well. I'd pay $200 per bankruptcy client (i get $300 total, would keep $100 for myself)
With the garden systems I'd pay 5% of the total bill. If a person bought a $10000 system, I'd pay $500. In fact, i'd pay a minimum of $500, even if I only sold an $8000 system. If I sold a system that was over $10k, i'd pay out 5% which pays the affiliate even more.
The point is, I'm willing to pay really well and I'm willing to be transparent, honest and fair. It's the only way to do biz and to have lasting profitable relationships.
Is it even possible to have a scenario like i've described above. If so, where do I begin? To be able to pay only for actual clients instead of for leads is the ideal situation.
Thanks for listening.
p.s. I'd post a pic of the garden system for you but I'm having an issue, it isn't letting me attach anything.
