Hi Laura, I agree $5 is not enough to even get consideration. Some offer $25 but even that I don't think is worth doing. To strong affiliates 25 is nothing.
You could do a sign up bonus tied to performance. That was you could promote a number that sounded pretty big without having to pay out unless the affiliate performed. I don't know your numbers so not sure that this would work, just throwing it out there.
$100 jump start bonus after you make your 3rd sale (But you'd want to say - if it's during the same month they sign up.) You wouldn't want to pay the bons if they mosied along and made their 3rd sale finally in month 6. Its a bonus to get them active. MOST affiliates would not make 3 sales their 1st month, so you would only end up paying it out to the ones that got active right away and deserve it.
Just a thought. However even 100 will not motivate the pros and get them to join a program.
