    Most of the UK networks require a setup fee or a monthly maintenance fee. Is there a network who does not charge these? eg: clixgalore.co.uk

    I think most of the networks charge for a reason. Whether you choose to pay now or later you will still end up paying. Merchants that cant or dont want to commit to a small overhead are not serious enough for most affiliates to consider. Why would we want to spend our money promoting a merchant who cant even commit their money to the same.

    Your welcome of course to look for networks that dont charge like clixgalore, but what do you achieve by that, i dont know any affiliates that promote clixgalore programs in the UK.

    Theres a reason why networks charge a fee, pay it and providing you have reasonable goods to sell and reasonable prices you will make money, dont and you wont, simple really.
    Nothing to see here...

    I believe that its that affiliate agencies should spot opportunities and not rely too much on setup fees and maintence fee as a source of income.

    I have this hotselling product and its selling almost every where in the Internet. Currently I have been selling my product using US affiliate agencies like Azoogle, eAdvertising, AffiliateFuel, Lynxtracks,ClickBank, Offerdownline, Silvercarrot and many more with good success. Some of these agencies were able to bring in a revenue of US$50-70K and these agencies did not have any setup or maintence fee.

    I know that some companies may pay the setup and maintence fees but if their offers do not convert, the affiliate agency only earns a mere £100+ a month which I believe is not able to even pay for a persons salary. Furthermore if the company terminates the account....

    My point is that if my product is able to bring in $50-70K revenue (£28 - £40K) to an agency every month, the setup and maintence fee should be at least wavied off. Would you want to earn £100+ or £28K a month?

    But they don't just earn the £100+ - they charge that plus the 30% override.

    There are a couple of UK networks who work with no setup fee - Paid on Results and OMG - but whether they will take your product or not is up to you - you'll need to convince them it really is a good earner in the UK marketplace.
    Never argue with idiots. They just drag you down to their level and then beat you with their experience.

    If ignorance is bliss then some of the people I know must be orgasmic.
