shareasale.com allows independent and corporate websites the opportunity to match their existing content with links to other websites, and get paid for it.
Shareasale.com brings together your great products, with our network of affiliate partners eager to promote those products.
The process is called Affiliate Marketing. How does it all work?
Shareasale.com uses proprietary technology, along with web and browser standard technologies to bring together eCommerce Merchants and Affiliate partner sites.
There are NO technical requirements involved in using our software, and it is 99.9999% (we haven't found an incompatability yet) compatible with all shopping cart, ecommerce, or other site software that you currently have.
You upload the banners that you want used, onto our site, through our Banner Management Center
You set the amount that you want to pay affiliates for each sale they bring you. For example, 20% of the sale, or a straight $2.00...etc... This is all done through the Account Management Center on Shareasale.com
You place a small piece of code on the receipt page of your website, which will serve as the trigger to Shareasale.com that a sale has been made.
Affiliate partners who are part of our network, will see your program and subscribe to your program
These Affiliate partners then put your banners on their Websites, and the traffic will come through to your site.
When a measurable action, such as a sale, or lead is generated at your site, Shareasale.com, after receiving the trigger that was set in Step 4 checks to see if an Affiliate partner brought you that sale.
If they did, your account at Shareasale.com is deducted the pre-defined amount from Step 3, and the Affiliate partner is credited that amount.
At the end of the month, Shareasale.com takes care of paying the Affiliate partners.
As long as you keep your balance with Shareasale.com above $0.00, we continue to bring you sales.
The system works not only for sales made, but can record hits to the website, and "lead" generations, such as the action of filling out a contact form.
Performance Marketing is one of the most powerful and effective customer acquisition tools available to an online merchant. You decide the commission structure to pay - and only pay when results come in. With a program managed by Shareasale.com, you enable our network of highly motivated sales experts to promote your products to all of their visitors - through websites, email newsletters, and loyal customer bases. You can choose to setup your progarm to pay on a percentage of a sale (pay-per-sale), a pay-per-lead basis (PPL or CPA), or a pay-per-click.
There are currently over 1000 Merchants plugged in to the Shareasale.com network. Each of these merchants has a different type of product that they are selling - and each is ready to give you a commission on that sale if you bring a customer to them. The idea - and the implementation - are simple. You decide which merchants to promote - your information is hidden to Merchants before you apply for any program - so no SPAM for you. You decide how to promote that Merchant - using your web traffic, email newsletters and other tools that you have. When commissions are generated, you can see your stats in real-time. All payments are consolidated from the programs you participage in, and are paid with one check by Shareasale.com. All payments from Merchants are taken up-front, to ensure that your commissions will always be paid to you.
