As a few of you know I'm currently working on a few commercial scripts, with many more to come. I've been kicking around the idea of going with CCBill for payment processing (since I'm not selling adult content I'd avoid the $750 Visa fee, meaning essentially $0 setup for payment processing).

If I do decide to go with CCBill, the option opens up to have an affiliate program. There are pluses and minuses to this concept, one being the need to figure out a good commission rate for affiliates.

Since I'm trying to price my scripts to sell (especially the smaller, simpler ones), I don't know if I could make 50%-60% fly so I might have to go more like 35% commission...which is a downside for potential affiliates. The upside would be that in the future there would be scripts selling at over $100 each, so those sales would be pretty nice; and the program could be merged with other CCBill accounts so the payments should come pretty quickly for most affiliates.

Commissions would also be paid on installation and setup as well if purchased.

In general I'm just hoping to get a discussion going on the concept here...as far as I know I'd be the first to have an affiliate program offering revenue on a range of scripts instead of just one or two; though there could be others I haven't heard of before.

Above all else, would anyone even be interested in a script affiliate program? Hoping for a good discussion on this.
