What is SellFire?
SellFire is a tool used by your affiliates to easily embed your products and coupons onto their site or blog.
How much does it cost to use SellFire?
Integrating your data feed and coupons with SellFire is completely free. It is also free for your publishers to try out our software. SellFire only makes money by selling premium subscriptions to publishers.
Why do I want my publishers to use SellFire?
There are three main reasons you want your publishers to embed product and coupon links via SellFire
-
Enables all of your affiliates to work with datafeeds effectively
For many publishers, using your data feed is too complicated to do on their own. This leaves them using banners or text links – a much less effective form of advertising. With SellFire, any publisher can embed your product information into their website or blog and make your company a central part of their content.
-
Automatically updates your affiliates’ sites
As you change product prices, coupon codes, and product descriptions, Sellfire automatically updates the affiliates’ sites .
-
Provides you with datafeed analytics
With the tracking report, you’ll get to see exactly how affiliates are using your datafeed and identify opportunities for improvement.
How can I get more of my publishers to use SellFire?
Encouraging more of your publishers to use SellFire is a sure way to increase your prominence on their blog or site. There are two main ways to do this:
-
Highlight your data feed in one of your news letters
In one of your news letters, focus on your data feed and the benefits of using it. Refer publishers who want to use your data feed to SellFire.
-
Mention SellFire in your program overview/appplication page
Update the description of your affiliate program description that your affiliate network provides to publishers to highlight your data feed and the ability to use SellFire to utilize your data feed.
How does SellFire access my data feeed?
We access your data feed via the affiliate network that you are integrated with, just as any other publisher does. There is no additional work for you.
Can I control who uses my data feed?
Yes. Only publishers that you approve via your affiliate network can earn commissions from your products.
Why isn't the SellFire publisher account generating any revenue or clicks?
When a publisher of yours uses SellFire to promote your company, all clicks are tracked under the publishers own ID. The SellFire publisher ID is never used. SellFire makes money by selling premium tools to publishers, not via commissions.
