Overall:
EasyFlirt is a unique dating affiliate marketing company in that it operates mostly behind the scenes as a "white label" dating service. White label means that EasyFlirt allows affiliates - or "partners," as EasyFlirt terms y'all - to create your own dating websites using EasyFlirt's website software. To borrow an old metaphor, then, you can think of EasyFlirt as supplying the picks and shovels, while you are actually mining the gold of picking up new members for your dating website branded with your site's name. This can be a fantastic business model if you are interesting in starting a niche dating website that targets a very particular group of people because you can build up your own brand, rather than just promoting someone else's brand. With EasyFlirt, affiliates can create a fully functioning dating website quickly and cheaply. Once a dater joins a site in the EasyFlirt network, the dater is presented with opportunities to visit other sites within the network; this can create a virtuous cycle for affiliates as most online daters join a few sites rather than just one.
Ease of Use:
EasyFlirt offers all the fundamental tools needed to get started as an affiliate, but not everyone will be able to use these tools easily. Simply put, if you don't know anything about affiliate marketing and/or website construction, you may have some problems getting EasyFlirt up and running. Once you know what you are doing, however, you can utilize the many banners and unique links offered. The EasyFlirt platform is powerful and entails a learning curve. To become a member affiliate, you must sign a contract with EasyFlirt. This is like agreeing to terms and conditions on a sign-up form, except that you are legally bound. The sign-up process for EasyFlirt is thus a bit more extensive than with the typical dating affiliate program.
Reputation/Security:
Much of the appeal of EasyFlirt comes from the uniqueness of the site in terms of the actual software that the company provides to affiliates. In this sense, EasyFlirt is as much of a technology company as it is a marketing company, and therefore a lot of the credibility that EasyFlirt has in the affiliate community comes from EasyFlirt's innovative computer programmers. So far, EasyFlirt has racked up nearly 40,000 affiliates, who have created nearly 250,000 websites using EasyFlirt's technology. Online since 2002, EasyFlirt's network of sites is now approaching 30,000,000 members.
Customer Service:
EasyFlirt has a lot of affiliates, so perhaps we shouldn't expect completely personalized service. Still, EasyFlirt's affiliate support efforts can use some improvement. Customer service is mainly dealt with by calling a support line. Also, you can email a customer service representative through a form on the website. It may take some time to get the answer you need, though, which may delay your opportunities of making money, which is never all that great. Many affiliates do not like the impersonal method of communication and would much rather speak to a human being who is a dedicated affiliate account rep.
Commission Rate:
EasyFlirt operates on a pay-per-sale commission program. That is, the affiliate will receive a certain commission from every membership that was referred by the affiliate. EasyFlirt advertises an "up to 120 Euro" payment per referral, but this can be a bit deceiving; $60 in commission for every new membership is more typical. There can be some variation in commission structure, with some affiliates choosing a revenue share model of 55 percent of every sale made, rather than the default flat fee per new membership.
Ease of Commission Payment:
Commission from EasyFlirt is paid on a monthly basis through electronic check, paper check, or PayPal. This is a solid company and we have never encountered any problems receiving an affiliate payment on time and in full.
