How and why you need your own Affiliate Network

Last week I sent out a survey to all ShoeMoney Newsletter readers asking what kind of content topics I can make to help them.

Affiliate Marketing was the overwhelming winner. In a few of the comment boxes people also wanted to know how to make your own affiliate network.

I have been running my own affiliate network (so to say) since 2007. With AuctionAds technically we had over 25,000 active affiliates. But with ShoeMoney tools we coded out our own but with the ShoeMoney System we used HasOffers.

Today I made a video walking you through how to setup your own affiliate network for free. This is the first part in a series I plan to do. Today for the most part I talk about why you need one and then walk you through setting up a offer… specifically how bloggers could track (and payout if they wanted to) for newsletter signups. Its a simple example. I plan to get a lot more technical depending on what people are looking for me to expand on.

You can watch the video here.

Please comment on the page and let me know what you think. Also please let me know where you think this walk through guide should go… I will continue with it for as long as people want to dive into new territory.
