Oh that background helps alot. Thank you. Now I have a better feel for where you are at. I had a feeling when you asked how to find affiliates that you were not quite at that stage yet.

$1,000 payouts are BIG so you should have no problems attracting a few good affiliates. However giving them a mini website is not a good idea for a variety of reasons. I can go into more detail if you really need it.

BUT even if you gave then their own site - you still need some type of affiliate tracking software. The software lets them log in to get banners and tracking code, then tracks which visitor they send to which offer and who buys. It even tracks if the affiliate sends you someone interested but they shop around and come back 2 weeks later.

So before you can get affiliates you need to build the infrastructure to support them. Good affiliates will look to be sure you have a solid foundation before they give you any traffic.

Before I go any further in explaining things I need to ask you a question to determine if you are even ready for an affiliate program.

What are your current conversion rates on 1) Classes and 2) Attracting buyer leads. This may be confidential - if so feel free to PM me.

However if you don't know what your conversion rates are, have never gotten any leads for #1 or #2 yet OR have really low conversion rates, then thinking about an affiliate program is not advisable at this point. You would need to do some PPC testing and optimization before you start an affiliate program.

Let me know your conversion rates and then I'll know the best next step to suggest.

Or easier yet, call me to discuss. I give alot more info for free then I can type due to carpal tunnel pain. I don't do paid consulting any more I just do free consultations to help people get started.
