1. We’ve signed up with ClixGalore. I’ve read marginally bad things about them. Was that a mistake? If so, what other services are available and at what price? Also, is it ClixGalore who could possibly be the problem or is it merchants that don’t pay affiliates?

2. Our product sells for $49 – and we’re offering 30% commission with tiers up to 40%. How does this compare to other beauty product programs?
|
Very well.

3. What are the best ways to find good affiliates? We’re not interested in just driving traffic or being advertised on spam sites.
|
Good commission structure and tracking system, a good affiliate network also has a good tracking system.

5. When you offer a commission per sale incentive, how could a program run into fraud? I don’t really understand that part. If the sale is made and the product is paid, where is the potential fraud? Stolen credit cards or something?
Any other tips would be appreciated. Thanks!
