ideas for solidifying my own affiliate network and company website

If this is really the case, I'd strongly suggest you take one of two routes. Spend some time and do some research into starting and maintaining an affiliate program. Or, hire someone to take care of this for you and train you. Otherwise, you are seriously going to lose a lot of money.

Or, as they prefer to say here: you'll get ass raped so hard, you won't be able to sit or shit for a month.

Yes, I agree. I want to do this right and I think the best way would be to use both routes. I would certainly research it myself (although I do not know a good resource to use) and would hire someone to produce the website and landing pages etc. I just want to make sure I'm doing it right the first time to try to avoid that ass raping.

I capitalized.
 


First, are you still maintaining your stance that farking is wrong? Then you are most definitely a cunt, and a miserable one at that.

Second, why do jagoffs like you come in here, make mistakes, and instead of accepting them and asking for advice to correct them, opt to take the most decidedly cuntish route of insulting the very people who can help you?

Third.........you know what, forget it. I was gonna tell you exactly what you needed to do to get your project up and running, but I have a rule that I don't help cunts.


P.S. You are a cunt.

Four cunts in one post. Nice.
 
Don't use any contractions. Affiliates hate contractions almost as much as they hate adverbs.

You can try an autoresponder with al that stuff your business need.

Mr. ssandaltan, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this thread is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

sweet post billy madison. nice original thought. you must have thought of that all on your own. anybody can copy and past a movie quote. asshat.
 
advice: if you're selling something, i.e. becoming a merchant, it's a REALLY good idea to sell it YOURSELF first before you go get affiliates to sell for you.

Once you introduce that human element into your advertising, shit gets very complicated.

If you think these guys are being assholes to you now, imagine how they'd treat you if you ran late on payments, or tried not paying for whatever reason.... or how some of these guys would promote your product/service.

But... if you're 100% set on using affiliates right off the bat, I would suggest using Clickbank. (clickbank.com) only because they handle the payment stuff and it's really easy to set up.

Good luck!
