So you're a merchant who carefully craft your own product, create the whole website for it, research the niche, look for various promotional methods to make your products and your name more and more known.

I also suppose, that you have an established website or sales-page where you successfully sell your products or service via Paypal, Moneybookers, Worldpay, Authorize.net or Google Checkout.

I guess that you have already thought that being able to let your products to be affiliated by other people would be a very nice addon to your website. Well made products are not only easier to sell for yourself, but they are very desired by other people who would really like to be able to promote your products for just a part of income from their generated sales.

Perhaps you have already tried some systems and networks which help you to find and deal with affiliates.

I'm sure that you have already faced quite a great dilemma: either some affiliate networks don't provide you any merchant tools, nothing (or just at very basic level) for selling "infrastructure", either they provide so basic affiliate management tools, that you actually feel like you're giving your product to them (affiliate network) to do whatever they want, not that they give you some affiliates who you could control.

Well there is also another option: you can always hire a programmer who could develop you your own in-house affiliate program mini-system. Having your own custom affiliate system is indisputable solution when you seek total control of everything and want the system to be as much integrated to your specific niche of your products/service as possible. BUT! You need TIME to develop such thing (and deep insight in planning various details and structure of your future superb mini affiliate system). Also you need to invest some MONEY in to development of such thing.
Do you have both?

I have mentioned two extremities: very custom your own affiliate program system and inflexible big affiliate networks.
Well, you have heard an old saying: "In many things the middle have the best".

Let's imagine that you have just decided to create your own in-house affiliate system.
What would you need from it?

• To be able to decide whether you want your potential affiliates to be manually or automatically approved?
• Maybe being able to track how each of your affiliate is doing?
• What about not just basic tracking, but very detailed? Daily stats of each affiliate? Referral stats?
• Some kind of incentive system? You would want to reward your well performing affiliates, wouldn't you?
• Being able to communicate with your affiliates should go without saying, right?
• Being able to give some promotional material to your affiliates?

Can you think of anything else?

Imagine combining all these things with your already established sales page or website where you sell your products. Feel the power of such improvement?

Let me tell you this:
All of above mentioned features in bulletin can be gained for free. You don't need to create your own in-house affiliate system, spend time and money for it. You also don't need to join other big inflexible affiliate networks which are very one-sided and requires some changes in your already established and well working website.

At Click2Sell.EU Affiliate Network you can get the flexibility of custom affiliate system and keep your selling freedom just like before.

And this article is just about one "module" Click2Sell system.

Hello all Click2Sell.EU members!

We are proud to announce that from now on all Click2Sell.EU members are able to sell subscription based products via Click2Sell.EU marketplace just by having a regular Paypal account.

How good is this feature and how it could benefit you?

Until now all our members were able to sell subscription based products, membership access to their paid websites, databases or just simple members area and accept recurring payments from their customers. However, there was one limitation… Subscription based products could only be sold by those merchants who had Authorize.net, Worldpay or Paypal PRO real merchant accounts configured on Click2Sell.EU. Recurring billing option was only working for those members who had an ability to accept direct credit card payments from their members on Click2Sell.EU product checkout form.

The most merchants on Click2Sell.EU use Paypal accounts to accept payments from their customers. They don't have real merchant accounts, so our members requested to make Paypal subscriptions option working for regular accounts on Click2Sell.EU.

So… We listened to our members

And now we can proudly announce that you can sell subscriptions using membership management software on Click2Sell.EU – all you need is just to have a Paypal's e-mail address where to accept the recurring payments to.

Of course, if you have a merchant account, you will still be able to continue accepting direct recurring payments from your customers via Click2Sell.EU. But now, in addition to this, you will also be able to offer your customers the convenient way to make recurring payments via their Paypal accounts.

All the subscriptions are managed on Click2Sell.EU members area. You can easily view which members are 'on the list'. You are able to easily to find out who has subscribed to your service, how many of people use access to your paid membership website and you are also able to know how much you will earn (your monthly profits) by running such subscription based website.

If your subscribed member decides to unsubscribe – no problem. Click2Sell.EU system will automatically adjust all your members list, profits and everything needed. The unsubscribed member will not be charged again.

Running your online business has never been easier… Especially when you have great tools at your hand So we would like to thank all our members for using our service and for all the great thoughts to improve Click2Sell.EU even more. We strongly believe that with your help we will be able to build a great system to sell products online!

Sincerely,

Hello again!

We are very proud to announce that finally we have just developed and tested Moneybookers payment processor system and merchant account provider in Click2Sell. On March 27 Moneybookers became available for all Click2Sell.EU members so now all merchants can use this merchant account provider to accept payments for their products via Click2Sell.EU and send affiliate commission payments for all affiliates.

At first let me present you what is Moneybookers and how this payment processor could benefit you.

Generally speaking Moneybookers is just like Paypal. It is a widely respected payment processor. Having Moneybookers merchant account allows you to send money to someone, to receive money from someone, go shopping, setup some kind of buy-now buttons on your website and thus accept payments for your products/services.

There is one thing about Moneybookers that should be interesting to some people. Moneybookers are less restrictive than PayPal regarding countries. Moneybookers cover more countries where you can send or receive payments. So if you weren’t able to get PayPal account, you should definitely check out Moneybookers and it is very likely that you will be accepted there.

Let us talk about what Moneybookers will be doing in Click2Sell.EU.
Until this moment merchants were able to receive payments from their sales directly in to PayPal, Authorize.net, Worldpay or Google Checkout accounts. From now on they will be able to receive payments to Moneybookers accounts too. Moneybookers claim that they have 4.3 million account holders. We can safely assume that quite a big part of them are buyers who prefer to pay via Moneybookers. So there are more potential buyers of your products. 

However, I guess that the more important aspect is that merchants get another option to pay their affiliates. They won’t be restrainted to PayPal. This means that merchants can expect more affiliates as Moneybookers cover more countries than Paypal.

Many good affiliates cannot promote products online just because they can’t have Paypal account. Anyway, from now on there are no restrictions…

Although a lot of people have only PayPal account, it is very easy to get a Moneybookers account, so within minutes merchants could be able to pay affiliates who have Moneybookers accounts only.

If you have only Moneybookers account and you’re not able to get PayPal, you shouldn’t worry about the fact that there are a lot of merchants in Click2Sell who pay via PayPal only. I’m sure that if you would make some affiliated sales for "PayPal only" merchant, he/she will get MB account just for paying you.

For the end let me remind you that now Click2Sell supports not only Moneybookers, but also PayPal, Google Checkout, Worldpay and Authorize.net and other Merchant Account providers.
Soon I will announce about another new exciting feature of Click2Sell. Stay tuned!
