Hi there,

I have read a few posts on 2CO Affiliate Program.

I am totally confused how my affiliates will promote my product and earn commission. I mean…Some people I know who can promote my product, don’t have a website.

You need to have a program where affiliates could simply direct visitors to the salespage where the product is being sold, instead of directly selling the product.

This way your program will become way too effective and more and more people will be able to sign-up.

I think I read somewhere that 2CO doesn’t do that because 2CO wants to know where the sales is coming from.

Well, the purpose of Affiliate program is to bring traffic without putting in much effort. It’s just like article marketing where you bring visitors to your site through the link in your article or resource box. Affiliate program is also a way of brining traffic to your website.

I simply can’t have my friends promote my product and earn a decent commission because they don’t own a website. Even if they do own a website, how will they sell without a benefit-oriented copy.

Just my 2 cents.

Thank you.

That, obviously, goes beyond our current design, but there are ongoing discussions about the possibility of offering residual payments like this in the future.

I’d like to see an affiliate program where we can make 1% or more on all transactions processed by those who we refer.

When that happens I can get excited.

I would be interested to see what suggestions the panelists made that 2Checkout is intending on implementing as improvements tothe affiliate program that is already in place.

The one item mentioned that I feel is important and needs to improved upon is an easy-to-use affiliate interface.

But before that gets 2Checkout’s full attention I think that everyone would benefit if the affiliate program had a spot on the home page with more visibility and clarity on where to go to sign up with improvements made to the instructions on how to set it all up.

Another suggestion I had made in another post was to remove some of the required fields in the registration process. Not all persons interested in signing up as an affiliate own a company, website, or have a custoemr service phone number.

I feel that if my above suggestions can be corrected then 2Checkout’s affiliate program will become much more user friendly and benefit all parties involved including suppliers.

Te only other suggestion that I would like to mention is the inclusion of html code or instructions on how to embed links in email messages. This will broaden the scope and ease of marketing products for all affiliates whether they are technically savvy or not.

Thank You,
