How to start a KICKASS affilate program?

[dbarton]

I own a gourmet dog bakery and in the process of starting an affilate program. However I want to create a KICKASS program. What should i offer to attract affilates. High commissions, services ect.. Should we do the program inhouse or should we sign with a network. If you're a marketer what would we have to do to get you to join our program? What would we have to offer or do to make our program obtain KICKASS status?

Look first you need to know what exactly an affiliate program is.Why is it done??After that once you start up you will need affiliates to promote your business.Understand their needs expectations and compare it with your own.There a lot you need to understand.So the best advice is you start of as an affiliate and work for a merchant for at least a year.Once you gain experience and understand the practical implications of the trade you wouldn't need any advice as to what is to be done when and how...Good Luck..
