AFFILIATE PROGRAM

What is Affiliate Marketing?

Affiliate marketing is when a software publisher offers the opportunity for others to sell their products from their host web sites in return for a commission on sales. This provides tremendous sales opportunity to the software publisher as they develop their own virtual sales force, with each affiliate pitching the publisher's products to their specific audiences.

eSellerate's affiliate program makes it simple to establish an expanding network of affiliates developing and marketing some of the hottest applications available. The eSellerate program includes groundbreaking features for both developers and retailers.
 

FOR PUBLISHERS

For publishers of digital goods, the affiliate program offers the opportunity for others to sell your products from their host web sites in return for a commission on sales. This provides tremendous sales opportunity for you to develop your own virtual sales force, with each affiliate pitching your products to specific audiences.

With a large base of affiliates, you increase your sales force and can significantly increase your sales revenue. And unlike other forms of advertising, your affiliate only gets paid when they generate a sale.

FOR RETAILERS

For retailers, the affiliate program is an opportunity to sell others’ products from your host web site in return for a commission on sales. This provides a tremendous revenue stream as you market publishers’ products and receive a commission after the sale is finalized.

Features for Retailers

    One of the most powerful and unique features available in any affiliate solution, eSellerate enables publishers to submit their products for sale with a Trialware or Try-and-Buy option. This greatly expands the manner in which the Affiliate can promote these products by enabling downloads and post-download sales from your sites, but always retaining the credit for the sales using the eSellerate SalesTrac Technology (eST). No more efforts going unrewarded or limitations on how you can promote products. This is critical within the Shareware Industry.

  2. Multiple distribution methods
