How do you protect my affiliates from being cheated out of their commissions?

Some Affiliate program systems like ClickBank, and others make it easy for your affiliate to get cheated out of their rightful commissions.

Knowing this, many potential affiliate partners won’t even consider joining your program if you use that sort of software.

However, the URL affiliate link generated by the 1AutomationWiz system make it virtual impossible for anyone to bypass your affiliate tracking or guess where that link is pointing!

Is it hard to install your affiliate program software?

No not at all because there’s NO installation required. You see, unlike other affiliate program software that requires complex set up and time consuming, expensive installations.

1AutomationWiz makes it easy to get set up with our unique “Point and Click” web based interface.

Does your Affiliate Program software offer one AND two tier payout structures

Yes it does. You can choose a 1 or 2 tiered commission for any or all of your products.

This way, if a customer whom an existing affiliate originally referred to you, then decides to become an affiliate for you as well; the first level affiliate can earn a residual commission on all the sales made by the second level affiliate.

You can even set the 1st and 2nd level commissions to whatever percentage or dollar amount you choose.

Can I offer “custom commission levels” to Super Affiliates or important Joint Venture partners?

Absolutely! You can assign a default commission level for any or all your affiliates.

However, if you want to give some of your affiliates a higher (or lower) commission rate, you can with just a click.

This is great for rewarding strong affiliates or when doing joint ventures!

Can I create “product specific” commissions for different products?

Yes, you can specify that most products qualify for the regular percentage commissions, others with specific commission rates, and still others that do not yield commissions at all.
