Starting a Network? Make Sure it HasOffers

With so many CPA networks arising the most important thing to us affiliates is the tracking. I personally think it is tracking anyways. Has Offers has come into the industry to help with the issues with affiliate tracking and easily helps you and quickly establish your own affiliate network.

Everyday it seems so many users are pushing up their own networks. They have became experts in their field and have decided to expand by opening their own affiliate networks. I know a lot of small networks in which the owners were once affiliate marketers. This gives them a huge backbone in what they are doing since they were once affiliates.

HasOffers is the first white label affiliate network software that gives you total control, with powerful technology, complete customization, and no start up costs or monthly fees.

They have such a simple interface that you can not get lost. I like it when stats are in front of you and Has Offers gives you just that. You get an overview of how you are currently doing. The fact that you are seeing your stats up front once you login gives you an overview of what your next steps should be. It gives you an idea of what to do to correct or improve on.

Their interface is very easy to use and it is very straight to the point. As a publisher navigation is important, you want to get to where you want to within the site with just a click or 2. You do not want to search and get lost in an interface!

But if you want to start an affiliate network, HasOffers allows you to start one and gives you the chance to use their system for free. It gives you the ability to manage your own network and start earning like the big guys.

When you start a network, you have to do a lot of research. You even have to put up a lot of money just to get started, which doesn’t even include an interface for your publishers.

Offers

HasOffers makes life a bit easier for you to start a network with offers of your choosing. When adding an offer it gets down to the nitty gritty. You get to give your offer a name, associate t with a group and category, payout type, cap limitations, etc. There is a lot but it is good to make sure you can manage it easily.

While you can control the offer in its full functionality, again the interface is straight to the point without any fancy design to steer you away from what you have to do. Quickly add pixels, access your suppression list, grant access to private offers, manage, etc. Each one comes with a very ‘easy to jump in’ interface.

Network Reporting

Reporting is important in whatever business you are in. You need to see stats because it tells you if you are doing something wrong or right. The interface again is easy to use and navigate. The drop down menus are the top gives you straight access to daily, weekly, monthly, and hourly reporting.

It will even show you referral reports and how much the referrer is generating from their referrals.

There is commissions and conversion reports, giving you a vast birds eye view of how yur network is doing. Reporting is very accurate and very straight to the point. In any business a detailed reporting of your business is crucial. HasOffers definitely covers it.

Affiliate Signup and Status

In this affiliate marketing industry, affiliates are the driving force for the network. Without affiliates a network just doesn’t exists. So taking care and establishing a relationship with them is very important. As well as taking care of them through the network.

With the affiliate section of HasOffers, you get to manage, add, create, disable, even adjust leads for a publisher.

It is a pretty basic section in the network – see who signs up, why they are signing up and approve them. HasOffers has this pretty much covered.

Billing

A network has to pay affiliates. I think this is straight to the point. HasOffers shows your networks ability to show how much an affiliate has earned, manage your invoice, manage payments, etc.

One thing I like is the quick pay. This allows your network to pay an affiliate instantly. The network is already setup for Net 7 or Net30 – but if you need to pay an affiliate because of substantial volume, you can pay your affiliate on the spot. This way you reward your affiliate. This also comes in handy to establish a relationship with your affiliate.

Conclusion

With so many networks out there trying to find the right solution for their start up network, HasOffers has the simplicity to get you started right away and easily in the CPA/Affiliate Industry. But having your own network is easy. It is a lot of hard work, you just need the right tools to get yur feet wet and have a solution in which you can be successful.

HasOffers can give you the leverage over everyone else.

By the way check out their affiliate glossoray.

    It’s remarkable how often people overlook the importance of tracking and tracking reports. They’re both integral to revenue, transparency, and just outright intelligence you can use to optimize your campaigns.

    Nicky Senyard, in fact, recently did a video blog about it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fss6sClrQ4M

    I’m all for starting an affiliate network, but it seems just like Acai and Biz Opp offers, starting an affiliate network is beginning to become too saturated. Its because of affiliate network scripts like DirectTrack and HasOffers that the field is becoming saturated.

    Am I saying that HasOffers is a bad piece of software? No cause I’ve never used it but give it a few months and every network will have it and the tracking will become an issue possibly.

    Bottom line, scripts and pre-made software are good but what about just getting a custom affiliate network site made from the ground up from scratch. Just my .02 cents but at least then the main focus could be on building a tracking system to how YOU want it.

    How can anyone be serious about starting an affiliate network if they aren’t willing to invest in the software (in house or 3rd party)? You can’t expect reliability from a free software. There are too many questions unanswered. Like, what’s in it for the people who spent the time and money building this platform? What happens when someone throw a ton of traffic at it and the whole system crashes? Why would affiliates run traffic for a network who is running off a free software (if you can’t afford to pay for the backbone of your business how can you afford to pay me)? No tracking software is going to be perfect no matter who develops it, but giving it away for free raises too many eyebrows.

    Why would a Network (Tatto Media, the owner of HasOffers) license their proprietary software out for free to create unlimited competition against themselves. What could they possibly have to gain by doing this???

    Answer: As Google does by giving away free tools (ie. urchin = Google Analytics), they will collect as much industry insider information as possible to benefit their own network. Meaning.. any network that starts their business on HasOffers has Zero Privacy and will expose ALL of their affiliate and publishers information to Tatto Media. Your business becomes their business.

    Its a genius business model but I certainly hope REAL business owners don’t fall prey to this scam.

  • Peter Hamilton said:

    @ Ian,
    thanks for the solid review. Keep us posted on future suggestions you have for HasOffers.

    @ JR and StuPidasso – The barrier to entry for affiliate networks should not be in the technology, it should be in establishing relationships with advertisers to provide solid offers. The simple fact is that our technology is more efficient and therefore costs much less to maintain. Though we plan to provide more paid applications in the future, our efficient technology is the primary reason for such low prices.

  • lm said:

    Peter – What do you have to say about JR’s comment on privacy/confidentiality? one way or an other, networks will disclose their data/business intelligence to a company that could potentially be a competitor. how do you guarantee that this data is not being shared?
