Details:-
How
many sites do you want to run an affiliate program on?
Do you have just one site?
If yes then the hosted or software solutions
could be appropriate.
Are you planning on opening new sites in the
future, or have several sites already?
If yes then the hosted solution may be
more appropriate, as you can run one affiliate program
for all your sites, having your own affiliate network.
Selecting a generic name for all your sites, such as maincompany-affiliates.com.
Affiliates only need to signup once to advertise all sites,
and receive one payout for all sites. AllAffiliatePro
can also be used as a tracker to calculate your ROI (Return
on Investment) from other internet advertising campaigns
for all your sites.
How
much time can you devote to running your affiliate program?
Plenty of time?
Great, then you'll be able to get the absolute
most from your affiliate program. You can save money by
selecting the software solution and handling all aspects
of the affiliate program from checking for cheaters, to
installing software updates and patches.
Are you limited on time?
If you are limited on the amount of time
you can spend managing your affiliate program then the
best solution would be our Hosted Solution, where we take
out all the hassle of running an affiliate program. From
day one we handle all the installation and integration
free of charge (usually £50), we monitor the program
to make sure everything is working fine, generate your
pay periods, update the software, check for cheaters,
and more.
Are
you new to Website Software?
Never installed a script before?
If you are new to website software then
we recommend our hosted solution,
it comes with free installation and integration, and runs
on our servers, so there are no conflict problems. It's
a managed solution, so you don't need to interface with
the software to often if you don't want to. For the software
solution we offer installation for £25 and integration
for £25.
Fair knowledge of scripting CGI/PHP/ASP?
If you have a fair knowledge of scripting
and want to run the affiliate program yourself then the
software solution could be appropriate, although the software
is not updated automatically as it is with the managed
solution. Installing yourself you can save £25,
but if you are unsure about integrating the software with
your ordering system then we offer integration for £25.
If you select the hosted solution then installation and
integration comes for free, and you can be as hands on
with your affiliate program as you wish.
Confident in scripting languages?
If you are confident in scripting languages
then you should have no troubles installing and integrating
the software solution. You will be able to purchase software
updates as they become available. You can also delve into
the code and make custom modifications for yourself, but
only with permission.
Does
your system meet the requirements of the software?
Do you have the space and resources for the software?
If you have the space and resources for
the software then you can choose between either the software
solution or the hosted solution.
Are you unsure?
If you are unsure then with the hosted
solution there is no need to worry, as the software runs
on our server there are no compatibility issues. If you
really want to run the software yourself then you will
need to check your web hosts documentation, or contact
their support.
Does your system not meet all the requirements?
Then you can still have an affiliate program
for your site. With our hosted solution you select an
affiliate domain of your choice, such as yourname-affiliate.com,
where your affiliate program will be based. The only modification
you'll need to do to your server is a simple hyperlink
to your affiliate domain so that members can signup. The
affiliate domain makes promoting your affiliate program
much easier.
Are
you on a tight budget?
Do you have plenty of funds?
If you have the budget then only the very
best service and support from the AllAffiliatePro managed
hosted solution should do.
Do you have a fixed budget?
If you are on a fixed budget then you may
be used to doing things yourself to save money. Our AllAffiliatePro
self service hosted solution would proably best suit your
needs and budget.
On a minimal budget?
Then our AllAffiliatePro budget hosted
solution spreads out the costs. Allowing you to start
benefiting from our services at the mimimum of cost.
