Private, "In-House" Affiliate Programs, Directory & Guide
Directory, information and tips for making money by joining and promoting private "In-House" Affiliate Programs on your website.
These are the companies that prefer to manage their affiliate programs privately, with their own personnel and their own tracking systems.
Most are very good about working closely with you to get a better ROI (Return On Investment) and often will gladly help you on any way they can.
The majority of these privately-run affiliate programs are "Pay-Per-Sale". There are a few that run on the "Pay-Per-Lead" model, but they are the exception.
The drawback to working with a bunch of different In-House affiliate programs is that it can all get very confusing. Trying to keep track of all the different things you need is sometimes like trying to juggle one-handed.
One of the best things about In-House programs is that many of them will pay you for referring others, as well as for sales. Some will even pay for several levels.
( Although if they pay too many levels, (more than 2 or 3) then you're looking at a modified "pyramid" model of marketing. I believe that it's best for honest people to avoid those.)
I strongly recommend that you get some sort of tracking program to keep all your affiliate data organized. If you want a recommendation, it would be hard for me to find anything wrong with Affiliate Manager - it's easy to use, reasonably priced and will keep all the info you will need safe and secure.
