I am an author and have written a book. Which affiliate program should I use to track referrals?

I%26#039;ve self published. I need to find a way to track referrals from other sites that buy my book at my site (affiliate program, shopping cart). I currently use paypal for purchases now. Do I need to change? There are soooo many - I don%26#039;t know which one would work for my purpose. I don%26#039;t make a lot of money from this so don%26#039;t want one with high monthly fees. Any help would be appreciated.

Paypal does not have an affiliate program software that allows you to track which of your selllers sold your book





Use Clickbank or 2checkout -- they charge higher in terms of commissions but they have allow you to set up an affiliate program

I would go with Share a Sale. They are inexpensive and easy to set up plus they are one of the most trusted Affiliate brokers around. I know a couple of people who have used them and they are very happy with the service and quality of affiliates that this broker attracts.

Reply:Hi,





There are many ways to market a small business on the web. You can buy banner ads, text links, or use PPC. However, the best way is to get listed in a bunch of portals. Portals and directories are like phone books, and they often provide a lot of traffic because they tend to rank high on Google.





This portal is giving away a free business card holder for lising your business (I got mine a few days ago in the mail). If you want to know about some other portals, just let me know.

I have a lot of experience marketing small companies online (I have 3 companies). One of the best ways is to sign up at business directories and protals. These are basically listings of businesses (simliar to the phone book). The advantage is that these portals usually get a lot of traffic and they%26#039;re ranked high on Google because of all the quality links they contain.





My favorite portal is called Directory Exclusive. I signed up a few weeks ago because they%26#039;re giving a away a free business card holder when a person enter%26#039;s their company info. I received it in the mail 3 days ago =)





I don%26#039;t know if they still have that promotion, but you can try to get the free card holder here:
