Okay - feel free to shoot me down in flames and laugh at me or whatever.
Basically I am a classically trained 'togger who happens to run a website. Therefore my expertise is situated in the creative side and not the technical and this is why I'm about to ask some damn fool questions.

I am interested in some affiliates for my main website but I'm new to the affiliate thing. I have put some backroom stuff in place that my one affiliate is happy with but I am interested in knowing what other affiliates would be wanting me to do in order to have them promote us.
In the past I've been put off by people making - quite frankly - preposterous requests for me to do all manner of work for them first or insist on taking anything up to 80% of the sales even!

Basically I set aside promo images for each update in a pass-protected area. I make banners etc regularly... and offer 50% for the life of any membership.

What more should I do?
Or are affiliates going to be okay with this?
Bear in mind, I if I spend my time doing lots of other things or having to learn the affiliate's job then 2 things might happen.
1. I may decide I don't need affiliates, (the site pays the rent already - I'd just like it to do more).
2. I won't have as much time to give to the site - and this is what the punters actually pay for.

Anyone who is interested already can go here:

And my visitor:join ratio at the moment based on February's stats are 280:1

The 50% is normal and fair for an affiliate. Some of the big companies do promos, bonus sign up fees etc, but smaller single girls sites don't tend to.

Do you offer hosted galleries? That's what I add to my site most of the time and as I think Tara is absolutely gorgeous I'd like to be an affiliate and promote the site.

Hi mate.
Now I've emailed you, you can see exactly what we do.
As far as hosted galleries are concerned I do a sample gallery for each update - to which you can add your affiliate code.
That way you get to use my bandwidth and artistic flair - all you need do is make your links... F*ck me, it's money for nothing in your game isn't it?
!grin!
Seriously though, as long as the increase in traffic to the sample gallery is worth it in terms of conversions then I'm all for it.
Alternatively you can just strip-out the code and host it yourself.
Just ask - I'm all for an easy life.

Daz.

Ps. on another note... Thanks for the compliment to Tara - I shall pass it on.
She's one of those models who people either love or hate and I'm forever surprised at just how many people offer unsolicited compliments about her.

She's fuckin' hard work though - I can tell you!
!grin!!laugh!

Anyone else?
Had some good responses and everyone seems happy with things - including me - Bloody amazing!

Ha, I bet she is hard work, she looks like a cheeky feisty one...in a good way! I've emailed you.

Yup, got the mail.
Glad things look okay for you.
And by the way - Feisty?... you aint seen the half mate.
!grin!
