Thanks for putting it up. A quick observation though. It doesn't look so good in Safari (nightly builds, webkit). Looks great in Firefox but the left sidebar runs on in the content area in Safari.

But still, it's next to no effort to drop an affiliate link into your footer and it doesn't cost you a cent, so for steps 1 and 2 it's crazy not to. I agree though, implementing that there's a very real chance you might pick up one or two sales then plateau for months, encouraging you to market the product more aggressively. For us anyway it's been win-win, we've picked up a few affiliate sales, have enjoyed increased traffic from people interested in Thesis (especially when we've been promoted virally through Twitter) and we've had a decent chunk of those visitors convert to subscribers and enquiries. That and the fact we genuinely love Thesis and would be happy recommending it for a lot less than 33% of the sale price! Thesis World: No doubt.

If you have "sold" one Package, you will try your best, to sell another three. Otherwise you will never see your money. Only good "sellers" will be paid by Chris, the others will receive nothing.

Eg, you sign up as an affiliate, buy through your aff code, get the 33% aff credit paid to you straight away, then never refer any other buyers. You've just got a 33% discount with no ongoing benefit to the developer. The minimum payout in affiliate schemes is partly to prevent it just become a discount system.

You'll be surprised how quickly that minimum $100 rolls around though. Not sure what Chris' rationale behind the minimum is, although assuming there's certain fees and an inherent cost in processing transactions it seems to make sense. I'd say requiring a few transactions before any money changes hands could also prevent abuse. In any case, as I said you should get up to $100 fairly easily and even if it did take a couple of months it's pretty easy money for the few minutes work of implementing just steps 1 and 2 I outlined above! rikin: Thanks!

Great tips here... I have to add the footer but I do have the affiliate link. My only gripe (which I've whined about to Chris already) is that you have to wait to get a $100 worth of affiliate purchases before they send you a check. $28 is like 4 months of my hosting! However, Chris does have some good reasons for the $100 minimum. Hey Mitch! Great tips here… I have to add the footer but I do have the affiliate link.
