Question about affiliate programs

[cavamedios]

I don't know much about affiliate programs. I have a physical product that I want to advertise with affiliates and give them a commission for each sale done with they affiliate link.
I don't want to pay for clicks only because I'm already paying facebook for clicks. Does it work this way?
What are some good international affiliate network you guys know? I'm in South America.

You can do that, but you need to mention your budget for affiliate networks. The good ones are Clickbank, shareasale, CJ, Linkshare, etc. Some required more budget than others and have more restrictions.

Do affiliate programs charge with a monthly plan or they get a comission too?

I believe that's indeed the case - they charge a monthly fee and also take % of the sales.

I'm also looking for an affiliate network to list my offer.

Try to sale through Amazon first, if product will go, then make your own product webpage and promote it too.

Here are some you can check out - they all have different terms and arrangements. Comparison shop them and see what works best for you.

In my opinion, Amazon and Ebay are probably the best if your product rocks, is reasonably priced and can stand toe-to-toe in a marketplace with a shitload of competing products. If that's not the case, might be better to pursue other options.

If your affiliates send a consumer to their link to your product on Amazon, well there's a good chance that consumer is going to see other similar products and might not end up buying YOURS. Whereas if the flow is more like consumer is on affiliate site->consumer clicks affiliate link->consumer is taken to your site selling your product, then they aren't being immediately tempted by competitors in the same fashion. Naturally, this also requires you to have a site that sells the products directly though.

Some affiliate programs:

• Amazon
• ClickBank
• CJ Affiliate
• ClickPromise
• ClickSure
• DealGuardian
• Ebay Partner Network
• FlexOffers
• MaxBounty
• Rakuten Linkshare
• ShareASale
• Zaxaaa

I am personally using GoAffPro. I think it works with WooCommerce and some others. I am personally using it with Shopify store. I am on the free plan which is enough to create links for every affiliate and you can also set up if you want to give them percentage or fixed amount. Check it out.
