DiPietro Marketing Group LLC has been increasing top and bottom line revenue with affiliate programs since the late 1990s.
Which 3rd-party affiliate program to use? The answer is based on a number of factors, and there are many trade-offs to consider…
/ How much are you willing to pay in terms of an upfront fee?
/ Would you rather pay a greater, one-time upfront fee to the 3rd-party web-based provider, and be required to keep less money in your account? Or, would you prefer to pay less upfront as a one-time fee, but be required to keep more of a minimum amount of money in your account balance?
/ How many affiliate-generated orders will it take each month to reach breakeven, and is that amount realistic?
/ What type of affiliate sites would be best for you?
/ To what degree do you have the time necessary to manage such a program, including the time to learn a 3rd-party system, recruit affiliates and to prepare creative for promotional campaigns?
DiPietro Marketing Group LLC has first-hand experience with many of the first- and second-tier 3rd-party providers.
And, there are a lot of them out there. To name a few…
/ Affiliate Shop
/ AvantLink
/ Clix Galore
/ Commission Junction
/ Google Affiliate Network (formerly Performics)
/ LinkShare
/ PepperJam
/ Share A Sale

All it takes is time and money.
As with most things in life, affiliate programs take time, money and patience to grow.
It normally takes upwards of 6 months to build a decent base of affiliates (also known as publishers). A program is usually ready to begin to significantly contribute to both the top and bottom lines at around 12 months.
