Any easier way to pay affiliates?

[Ladan Lashkari]

Hi,

As the number of my affiliates grows, it's a big hassle to draw so many checks manually every month. Is there any software or online service to make writing checks easier? If you have a better idea, I'd love to hear it.

Thank you very much!

Have you considered joining a network like www.shareasale.com ? Not only do they write the checks but you could get more affiliates by being in a good network.

Hope this helps and best of luck!

Really? Well, then I don't think using MoneyBookers to pay my affiliates will be a good idea, because some people haven't even heard of it!

Moneybookers is mostly for UK, other Europe clients. Though they tell worldwide, i gues most of their clients are from Europe. That is why people in US may not have heard about it.

I've compared different solutions like PayPal, MoneyBookers, and StormPay. Even though StormPay is much more expensive than MoneyBookers, I wonder why it seems to be more popular - at least in the US.

I think I was in your situation ...

First thing, I don't want to have to send out cheques. Ringgit Malaysia was not traded and was pegged at 3.8. Meaning, it has no value outside the country. So I can't send my affiliate cheques. And opening a US business and bank account is just too much trouble.

With that using 2Checkout, WorldPay, and using a 3rd party affiliate management is out of the question.

With Paypal, yes I can pay affiliates much easier. But with Paypal, though I can put in fund using my credit card, I can't withdraw the fund to a local bank. So if I make a lot with Paypal, I can never get the cash.

I thought that ClickBank can solve my problem. They can accept payment for me, and pay my affiliates. But it turns out that ClickBank has a 'thing' with Malaysians. I can't sign up with them.

But I know then, what I need is a company that
- Can accept payment on my behalf
- Can pay my affiliates
- Accept Malaysians as a seller
- Can send me the fund (wired or cheque)

I was searching, and searching ... and searching ...

Here's what I found ...

http://RegNow.com
http://Plimus.com
http://RegSoft.com
http://iBill.com
http://eSellerate.net
http://ShareIt.com

And finally I settled with Plimus. One thing, it's because that they have no setup fee. And their rate is quite reasonable compared to the others. And I can offer my product in a CD.

I hope this helps ...

I checked out the websites and compared their features. Plimus seemed like the best solution for me too. I opened an account in it to see how it goes.

Thank you for your help, Iszuddin!
