Recently I've started up my affiliate program, won't go into details on it.
Info on it here:-

Anyway, I'm finding that promoting an affiliate program takes as much work as promoting an entire business!
I was thinking of this idea to recruit affiliates, could you rate it or try to help me improve it?
1) I'll buy the domain name (I'll set the retailer and the price) for the affiliate. I can either buy it directly or give paypal payment to the so they own it.
2) I'll provide hosting for the site. How would I allow different webmasters to log into different sub-accounts in my hosting package?
3) All the affiliate does is build a site and SEO it and I'll pay them the agreed commission and deal with the customers. Includes UK and USA cases. No minimums, payment every month by paypal.
4) I'll provide some standard site content which they should reword etc or add to. As well as the industries that generally use my services so they can build a site targeted to them.
5) they can put other things on the site i.e. adwords or whatever that will be 100% theirs.
I'd probobly need them to sign an agreement just to say that we both have rights to the domain and site etc and what's to be on the site - my services. And agree not to SEO for my main website's keywords. Print it off and mail to me (I'd pay the postage) ?
What'd you think? Is it a starter or a no go? I'm obviously trying to target good webmasters who have the ability to build a site and rank it better than I can (links from thie other websites etc). It's a program with zero start up costs for the affiliate coz i'm paying them.
