Affiliate

How have you gone about setting up affiliate payment strategies?

Do you reach out directly to potential affiliates?
Is there a somewhat standard affiliate or referral rate?

Feeling around, and seriously considering using recruiting agencies to help me find customers for Developer Select, feels like a good way to leverage other people's income needs for my own business goals.

    It depend on what affiliate program you are using to get your payment. I'm working with Amazon affiliate program and always received payment in my Payoneer account.

    Do consider if you can have a high up front $ pay, which lets them easily run paid champaigns and such without needing to sponsor a long cashflow
    And having some forever commision on subscriptions

    You might have more than one pay option

    Affiliate rates are all over
    They might be a bit industry dependent, phisical businesses for example can afford way less than info products. (75% and even 90% sales affiliate commissions exist as well as 0.5% and flat rates..)
    There are different levels of conversions as well..

    There are niches that deal with affiliate acquisition, specially when you dealing with networking sites, people line stuff up to show the best stats for a period, they affiliate themselves, show conversions, change rates.. some is more legitimate show your best side and some a bit more manipulative..
