I teach a class at our local community college each fall semester and I'm going to use this. Zig Ziglar has been saying this for years in his sales trainings. "You can have anything you want in this world as long as you help enough people get what they want." Keep up the good work. I'm now another fan of your blog. This is great.

Each affiliate gets their own unique tracking code, so whenever a potential customer clicks on a link that they suggest, it is all being tracked and recorded. In a later post I'll go over the details of the different affiliate sites and how they work! @Greg There are several affiliate sites online that help you do exactly that.

However keeping track would be a little hard. How would you know where your sales are coming from ? How would your fans know if they sent sales to you. This could be on a artist widget or sites like Reverbnation could at it to their features. That all sounds great. However keeping track would be a little hard.

I absolutely agree. Anything you sell (be it music, t-shirts, tickets, whatever), can be split with your affiliates to generate more revenue and a larger fan-base. @Greg Thanks for the comment!

Where most music affiliate programs tend to miss the boat is in getting their affiliates to sell their products. Even at 50%, how much motivation is it to sell a download? Where I see this coming of age is in the higher ticket packages - especially digital packages. A 50% commission on a $25, 50, 100 sale is much more enticing. Right now the music industry doesn't have this level of value on their products, and honestly most musicians don;t have a strong enough relationship with their super fans to get them interested. If we can get over those objections, it could really spark the indie music business, much like internet marketing and ebooks have challenged traditional publishing.
