    Hi folks,
    I need to set up an affiliate marketing program for our amember website. I want to drive affiliates to an affiliate page on our website, and have affiliates sign up to get their affiliate link without any action required on our side.

    I know there is an option to use amember for this. I also see amember now integrating 1shoppingcart as a solution. How would this work? Is that the direction most people are going? Considering our needs, do we need to add this feature (pay for the plug in and pay 1sc a separate monthly fee)? If we go with this option, do we need to completely restructure our amember signup forms?

    Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    aMember has a built in affiliate system you can use. You can either have the member sign up for a free membership, or use the affiliate only signup form.

    You can also use the 1sc system or clickbank system too.

    Thanks for the response.

    Considering a lot of our business will come through affiliate marketing, which one would you suggest we go with? We do plan to use clickbank in the future, and also have a robust affiliate marketing setup. Since amember teamed up with 1sc, there must have been something in it for them to do this. I am all ears....thanks. Just don't want to have to do this all over again.

    What do you mean?

    I dont think theres any teaming up- just 1sc created a method to be able to hook into amember and vice versa. No $ exchanges hands from what i understand.

    Let me clarify. Basically, I want to set up an affiliate marketing solution that fits best with our current amember setup. I want to drive prospective affiliate marketers to a page that allows them to grab a unique URL to send to their list. I also need a robust platform to track sales, chargebacks, etc. OTO options, etc, are a plus. The affiliate marketing product (1SC, RAP, Post Affiliate Pro, delavo, etc) needs to easily integrate into our amember recurring billing solution. And it needs to be easy to install. Which one of the above would you recommend to use with our current amember setup?
