Affiliate programs for software distribution?

Trying to find the right affiliate program

[disspy]

Hi there,

I would like to know if anyone of you had chance to try any of affiliate programs for software distribution. Well, I own a software and I would like to find affiliates and also would give them 50% commission rate, but I just don't want to use systems like ClickBank, RegNow or similar. I have CC processor for very good rates, so I don't need another one. I'd like to find affiliate program which can be only some kind of “buffer” between me and my affiliates, and of course I don't want to pay the buffer zone more then 5%!

I've searched a lot on internet, but couldn't find something like that. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Use clickbank... it's probably worth paying for since they already have over 100,000 affiliates just waiting to push the latest products.

Think about it, do you really care if you pay out 5% more on every sale if they can help you sell 100X more than your own private program? Look around but clickbank is probably your best bet.

Hmm... Thanks for advice. As I know they charge $1+7.5% per sold product. It's more than expected, but yes probably you're right, they have the largest affiliate network, so it could work ...

They're not the largest affiliate network, but they're certainly very focused on downloadable items and have a more reasonable cut than the major networks. CJ charges 30% plus monthly minimums and annual fees.

You could always just pay a 45% commission instead of 50% if the extra few percent makes a difference to you.
