Do I need affiliate network Software?

Hey everybody,

Twice a month I give classes to a number of people. I am now starting to bring in guest speakers, with their own products. I need a clean system to where I can get paid a commission on those products for people who have come from my meeting. Most of these people don't have "real" affiliate programs set up.

I have always been a big believe in making it easy for other to make money for me. It seems to me that if I had my own Affiliate Network software, I could easily set these speakers up as merchants and then use my affiliate system to track and all of that good stuff. Perhaps even gaining them as real customers for my affiliate software, charging a monthly fee to use the software.

Does my idea have merit? Do I need to go this far? What are my options?
I don't really want to do standard affiliate software because of the multiple merchants and need to keep them separated.

I have used hasoffers before, didn't really care for it and I prefer just to buy software and run it on my own servers.

I have seen Post Affiliate Pro Network and wonder how that is.
Affiliate Network Pro v8 looks long in the tooth and has some negative reviews.

Any other ideas or experience with these?

I need to pull the trigger on this pretty quick . . . lots of money being left on the table right now and I need to correct it ASAP.

Thanks
Garret

      If you feel that the cost of the license will pay off pretty soon go ahead. Post Affiliate Network is probably the only decent affiliate network solution that does not require monthly fees.
      I have used Post Affiliate Pro (it's basically the same as PAN but does not have separate merchant accounts) for almost two years and I am very impressed with the features they offer.
      You can get Post Affiliate Network for $1709 one-time payment here (10% off).

    You could try the demo version of jrox jem, which is a full estore and affiliate management proram, its free for up to 50 affiliates, and you can manage absolutely everything. Or if you use wordpress, you could try the plugin from tips and tricks hq.

      Jem does not handle multi merchant.
