Not sure where I should post this, but I've managed to write a little article of my own about the affiliate sales benefits for the merchants:
If this sounds familiar:
"
I bet that when you are thinking about doing more sales, you are thinking about hiring a new Sales Manager or paying for some advertisements. No secret that the newly hired Sales will spend about 6 months trying to understand your products and the market (but, well, he gets paid even if he makes no sales in the learning time) and even when he starts selling it will still take 6 months to get him up to speed. About the advertisements, they are a sure cost and a not so sure result."
then the rest of the article it's for you. I hope you will like the style:
Don't Overpay for Selling your Products. Use Affiliates
