I want to keep this as simple as possible

I have a physical goods product. I plan on building an affiliate program, but need opinions.

Options (All affiliates will be screened first)

1. Bare Affiliate - Invite affiliates to promote my product with through their audience. They have a commission link.

What I don’t like: hard to promote physical products without having them. All they got are my website assets to use to sell.

2. Rent Product Affiliate - Includes #1, but I ship them my product for a specific post or video through their audience. They send it back to me when they are done. Can either be PPP/PPV or promote for specific duration.

What I don’t like: Damaging product when sent back to me.

3. Free Product Affiliate - Includes #1 and #2, but Affiliate gets to keep the product.

What I don’t like: Cost and possibility of them not following through. Can probably be solved by contract. Lowest product version costs $80.


How common are affiliate contracts? Initially, I was just gonna invite them through email and that was it, but feel as if I should cover my basis, as in don’t sue me and you actually have to promote the product and not run.

What did you do when you first started your affiliate program? Note: Brand perception is very important to me, would rather have several high quality affiliates than a bunch of those that just spam links and negatively impacts brand.
