ITMS Affiliate Program
Posted April 29th, 2003 @ 02:39pm by Erik J. Barzeski
From a MacInTouch post comes this:
Another major shortcoming is that there is no affiliate program for the iTunes store -- I haven't found it yet, if there should be one at all... Many web sites are created using Macs and if there would be an easy (Mac) way for webmasters to tap into the iTunes store catalog, many sites could offer music shopping much like Amazon. This could provide a big branding effect and also generate revenues for webmasters and Apple alike.
Of course, it's not as simple as that. I'd purchase all of my music through my own affiliate link, instantly getting money (or credit) back.

You said "Of course, it's not as simple as that. I'd purchase all of my music through my own affiliate link, instantly getting money (or credit) back."
Couldn't you do this already, with Amazon? If not, why can't Apple implement the same safety measures?

Yes, but things on Amazon don't cost $0.99 either, which introduces all sorts of differences.

Your right, Its kinda hard to take a percentage of $0.99. What about free music every X number of people you refer?

Uhh, it's no harder to get a % of $0.99 than it is $99. 5% if 5%.

Yea you can take a percentage of anything... It may be small but the economies of scale are in your favor.
