Hi Mike,

Thanks for your quick response.

As a summary I think the main points are:

1. Keep your JV Broker happy (either have an exclusive closed-door program that only your JV Broker will use to invite JV partners to join - or - if I do have a separate sign up page for ordinary affiliates make sure they are tracked separately from the JV Broker by opt-ing them into a different Aweber list)

2. Use an automated 2 tier commission structure - but this is not available in PayDotCom - therefore should I use 1SC linked with 2CO or something different?

3. Have the JV_invite page ask for name, email and Aff id - if I am not using CB or PDC then I assume people have to enter a 2CO Aff id (or whatever you recommend I use) - BUT people must have already have signed up as an affiliate with 2CO of whoever beforehand so they know what their actual Aff id is.

Mike, I think it may be easier for you to simply recommend the following (since CB and PDC are probably not suitable):

1. Use xxx payment provider
2. Use xxx 2 tier affiliate program

Thanks
Chris
