2nd-tier for PayPal or Clickbank product launches

[Christopher Schumacher]

I don't care for that solution much either. Assuming you had only 1 JV going on, it might not be a big deal...but what if you managed to set up 10 similar JV's with people like that on the same product? Now you have to set up 10 different versions of your sales page and all that.

I would assume that each would be a different product as far as the software was concerned, and therefore, you'd also have to compile your overall stats from each manually to figure out how things are going in a broader sense.

In addition, does JVManager work in cooperation with places like Clickbank? I don't recall it doing so, but then again, I usually have my own affiliate script built specific to whatever product is being released, so don't own all of the scripts out there.

Everything mentioned in this thread will do the job, however none of them are a solution to the overall problem. The problem is how to do those things in a simplified and secured manner that reduces the work needing to be done by the product owner and JV participant (i.e. automation), while still being completely accurate. Everything mentioned so far has just been a "workaround".

Sincerely,

Chris

Hi Chris,

I'm sorry that this came across the wrong way. Don't expect my few lines to explain what can be done with a 3.000 dollar script. I was focused on the problem stated in this thread as I understood it.

You would not set up 10 JVs the way I described above.

What I described above is for the rare case that you want to pay out a 2nd tier commission to JV partners without having a 2-tier affiliate program.

Usually you would not set up 10 different JVs that are basically meant to get new 2nd level affiliates. In that case you would rather set up a real 2 tier affiliate program, which can be done easily.

And JVs that are just meant to give your super affiliates higher commissions can be handled with simply inputting a special commission. Roundabout 30 seconds work.

In addition, does JVManager work in cooperation with places like Clickbank?

It can use Clickbank as payment processor. It does not work with CBs affiliate system as its
prupose is to build your own affiliate army across all your products (or parts of your products).

There's a way to use it with CB marketplace, but it's something I would not want to do.

I don't see it this way. As I see it a workaround is what is asked for here, otherwise you could simply use a 2-tier program which is the automated solution you talk about. And the system that I described would be completely automated once it is created.

And that's the beauty of the system: that you can use it to create individual set ups completely tailored to your ideas. And once created have them run on autopilot.

The problem is how to do those things in a simplified and secured manner that reduces the work needing to be done by the product owner and JV participant (i.e. automation), while still being completely accurate.

That's exactly the point: You can either
1) restrict yourself to the standard features that scripts and services offer.
2) build a complicated self-made solution that you have to handle manually throughout the whole promo.
3) or use a solution that is designed to build any process you can think of and run it on autopilot while being completely accurate.

I'm rarely happy with standard features, and regarding the work of counting sales and paying commissions etc. I'm really lazy...so I choose alternative #3.
