Why Should You Be My Paydotcom Affiliate

An explanation of what Paydotcom is and why you should use this free to sign up affiliate management system to make money as an affiliate representing my products....

What is Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate marketing is a business method in which you may represent other people's work and earn a commission when orders are placed. I do this for individuals with whom I've made arrangements as well as through third party companies such as Clickbank and Paydotcom

I personally am both a vendor, merchant or product owner depending on the affiliate management system and an affiliate. My website is huge thanks to affiliate marketing. There's no way I'd have the skills or time to produce so many products myself of such variety. Most newbies however start with just one or two products of personal interest to them.

What is Paydotcom

Paydotcom is an affiliate management company which keeps track of affiliate payments which are paid for through Paypal. For those who haven't heard your customers do not need a Paypal account to buy anything through Paypal. Your customers may use their credit cards through Paypal's secure server. Paydotcom has a market place for shoppers and vendors. Vendors products are placed in the market place free of charge after one sale is made.

Why Use Paydotcom for Affiliate Programs

Free Sign Up for Affiliates - Not that big of a deal really. It's to affiliate management companies advantage to have free sign up for affiliates since they receive a small percentage of each sale, which is how they make their money.

Free Sign Up for Vendors! - Now THAT'S a big deal. Even Clickbank charges, as of writing this $50.00 per account. The free vendor sign up is for the first product. After that, as of writing this, there's a ridiculously low lifetime fee of less than $30.00 to submit an UNLIMITED number of products. Anyone who doesn't want to invest $30.00 into their business should probably find a nice hourly wage job. Again this is for vendors only. Affiliates may sign up to sell as many products as they wish.

Individual Sales or Landing Pages - Yes, my Clickbank affiliates all land on a single page Though this could lead to multiple sales, I believe it will more easily add to confusion on the part of a prospective buyer. I could remedy this by paying $50.00 for another Clickbank account and wait for orders of that product with five credit cards to be paid OR I can set up a new product through Paydotcom and assign a completely separate sales page WITH the same account. Now my affiliates may select product which only go with the theme if their website if they have one.

Individual Commissions Per Product - Unlike Clickbank different commissions can be setup per individual product.

Products Can Be Linked - Originally, I was sending my affiliates to Clickbank for a single simple code to represent all my products. With this new feature, the merchant has the option of linking all or some of his/her products together. Thus ensuring affiliates are paid for upgrades during sales and even after the original product is purchased by the customer. I personally have linked ALL my products. I'd rather err on the side of my affiliate.


Recurring Payments -Affiliates are paid for subscription services

Immediate Payment Through Paypal - For security, Clickbank makes vendors wait until five credit cards have been used before mailing a check. Paydotcom vendors receive immediate payment. Now vendors may withhold payment for affiliates up to 30 days depending on their return policy.

Return Policy Up to The Vendors! - One of Clickbank merchants' huge complaints is Clickbank's borderline insane customer blinks wrong return policy. Paypal will negotiate with complaints but they seem to understand both parties have rights. Since Paydotcom only manages the affiliate program, they have nothing to do with any negotiations.

Physical Products Can Be Sold Through PDC! - That's correct. You're not limited to digital products, though they continue to be the most popular due to ease of delivery and instant gratification of customers. CDs to clothing may be sold through Paydotcom.

A Great Support Forum - I am lucky to be able to state I have never been in such a helpful, giving forum. Other forums I belong to are quite helpful, don't get me wrong, but I find questions answered in that forum quickly and clearly. In fact most of the questions new vendors or affiliates may have may already be found in the forum using the search feature.

Of All the Wonderful Vendors in Paydotcom, Why Should I Be Your Affiliate?

A very good question. By all means represent multiple vendors as is your right as a business owner. Be sure you have good communication with the vendor. They're responsible for paying you. Good communication is very important to ensure a good relationship between the vendor and the affiliate. As both an affiliate and product owner myself, I've seen some of the pitfalls between vendors and affiliates and I've done my best to attempt to curtail any situations which may hinder my affiliates ability to make as much money as possible incorporating all of my products and tools at my affiliates disposal. I am aware the better I communicate and the more money I can help my affiliate make the more money I can make for my family and myself.

I've actually witnessed vendors treating affiliates as competition! A big No No for me as both affiliate and vendor. My affiliates ARE MY PARTNERS. In fact if you decide to be my affiliate you'll be my 50 50 partner. I realize I cannot have a successful product without you and you cannot have a business without a vendor's products.
