Do you think it would be effective to have an...

From what I have read, you would have a lot more one-way links to your site, especially if you pay people a small percentage of any sale that came from their site, if you can afford to. That would increase your site's popularity.

Affiliate marketing is one of the best no-cost advertising methods available, but you have to do it the right way.

It's no-cost because you only pay for results.

FYI: Most affiliates will not consider a program where you offer less than 50% of a sale. Just check out the clickbank marketplace for tons of examples (they have like 11,000 products and 100,000+ affiliates)

It will only be effective if your business is already effective at closing a prospect (right away or in the future).

Affiliate marketers are business people and they will want to have a good ROI to continue sending visitors to anyone.

The way it works is:

1. You test and improve your website until it has a good ROI.
2. You setup the affiliate program (with lots of sample advertising)
3. You get affiliates
4. Affiliates send prospects.
5. You capture prospects as leads or clients
6. You follow-up with leads and clients.
7. Repeat steps 1 thru 6

HTH and have a great day!
