Get Affiliates to Promote Your Products

Do you like the idea of other websites promoting and selling your products. E-junkie allows you to setup your own affiliate program, which website/blog owners can join. When they direct customers to your products and the customers make a purchase, you give the affiliates a percentage of the cost.

How to create your own affiliate program

1. Join E-Junkie (free one week trial, then US$5 per month)
2. If you haven’t already, add your products with pricing etc
3. Go to View/Edit/Delete Product
4. Select a product from drop down
5. Click on Edit Affiliate Settings button
6. Enter percentage you want the affiliate to get for each sale
7. Tick to allow people to buy direct from the shopping cart (they don’t go to your website so don’t get the chance to see/order your other products)
8. Tick Hop link – Paste the web address from your website product page here (affiliates then point people to your website for more info)

Add the program to Your Website

You will see your Affiliate Signup Link code on the right of the affiliate settings page. This needs to be copied and pasted into your website, your blog or an email. Anywhere you think potential affiliates might see it. Most websites then add Affiliates as a link on their navigation. This links to more info about the program such as percentages, payment etc.

Managing Your Affiliates

You can login to your E-Junkie account and go to manage affiliates to see who had joined. This is where you can edit the percentage which individual affiliates recieve or add a flat fee as well. This feature allows you to customise your program, adding incentives for increased sales. ie. If you sell more than 10 in one month, your percentage will go up to 30% or you could offer a $10 bonus.

Paying your affiliates is also easy. They give you an email address for their PayPal account (they can set one up for free when registering) and you pay on mass through the e-junkie system once a month, quarterly or at intervals specified by you.
