Affiliate program - where you essentially pay per completed sale:
However, it requires an initial investment before it reaches a point where the program generates good sale levels continuously.
The fixed costs are a start-up fee of SEK 20 000 for setting up the program and promoting a business in the network of affiliated sites. Thereafter, an additional ongoing monthly fee of SEK 5 000.
On completion of the sale they put 30% in commission.
But as said, of course the goal is to reach a level where you earn money on a regular base and the fixed cost will be spread across large volumes - that is the case with the customers now running the affiliate program.
