This is a comprehensive framework for building and running an affiliate program from scratch. It covers commission models (revenue share, CPA, tiered structures), platform selection (PartnerStack, Rewardful, ShareASale), and recruiting strategies like targeting competitor affiliates or promoting to existing customers. The skill includes benchmark data across industries, cookie duration recommendations, and activation sequences to get dormant affiliates actually promoting. What stands out is the operational detail: outreach templates, FTC compliance requirements, prohibited activities lists, and metrics like activation rates. Use this when you're launching a partner program and need the full playbook, not just high-level strategy.
