    Starting niche affiliate marketing site: Free for merchants to join but I want to charge % of sale – how much?
    I am starting a niche affiliate marketing service.

    I allow both affiliates and merchants to join for free.

    I intend to charge the merchants a % per completed transaction.

    What do you think would be a fair percentage?

      Look at Ebay’s fees. You can also look at what companies pay affiliates like what does Amazon pay when someone buys a book thru an affiliate.

    Free Affiliate Marketing Programs?
    What are the best affiliate marketing programs that pay very well but are free to join?
    I see some programs say payment % CPO and some CPA whats the difference?

      It depends on what you want to sell, or what your website is about. Every affiliate program I have ever seen is free to join. The problem is their payout rules. Some won’t pay until you get a certain amount of sales, and if you don’t make enough sales in an allotted amount of time they won’t pay out. I’m thinking Commission Junction is one that does that.

      One of the worst I’ve heard of is Amazon as far as poor payment. Their percentages are so poor it’s very difficult to make much money.

      The best programs are those that pay for clickthroughs or for leads. You can make quite a bit of money with those, but they are harder to find. Also, clickbank is very good for digital products. Most products you sell through clickbank will pay 50 to 75 percent of the sale.

    Is it possible to have an affiliate marketing blog that is free, and still earns you money?
    Or do I need to pay for a more ‘professional’ blog domain?

    Also: Is it worth it to be an affiliate marketer? How much could I earn with a free blog, working part-time on it, and not paying anything to increase my blog search rankings? Is running an affiliate marketing blog a worthwhile thing (financially) to do when I can only do it part-time – or is it something that needs a full time worker?

      If you are just starting out and don’t have a budget to get a domain name and hosting then I would suggest doing a combination of building websites on places like wordpress.com and also submitting relevant articles on places like ezinearticles.com, goarticles.com, and more. This should be a good start to help you learn more about internet marketing as it takes awhile to get used to all of the tips and tricks involved to make a large profit. I have personally known people who are making $100+ a day without having their own website which isn’t huge money but to many it is a great extra income.
