How Would I Start My Own Affiliate Program?

Could someone briefly explain the easiest way to go about starting my own affiliate program for a product or website I am or have already started?

 

Clickbank is widely used for that purpose. Why create something from scratch if it already exist and have a wide base of (possible) promoters already.

 

Yes but what if I want to make the affiliate program for my own website.

A lot of affiliate programs that appear to be the websites own are actually managed with a third party application.

If you are thinking of how to integrate it into your site and manage it then there are good affiliate plugin for that if you are using wordpress. In this case, it will be yours and not clickbank or anyone's else.
