I am organizing and promoting an online training on developing communication skills. Now I want to give away materials of my training to third party companies so they can use it with their clients. It's going to be free at the very beginning but I want them to donate money for use of my training materials but it's not mandatory. Later on I am going to modify the agreement to charge commissions for use of my concept.

 

What is the right term for this business model?

 

Affiliate program?  Franchise?

 

Thank you

Hi

Even i agree

Affiliate programs are better. Affiliate marketing is a profit sharing project between a website owner and an online merchant whereas a franchise is a formula of somebody's success.

I certainly agree that affiliate programs are good and database servers much likely connect directly to web for better integration. And it demonstrates originality of access on programs.

Definitely affiliate marketing. there maybe legal issues with franchising that might not make it attractive for third party companies. With affiliate marketing you can get better distribution of your training materials and scale your business even faster.

For now, affiliate as that involve little to no investment. If your successful then you could invest and get a franchise. Franchising involves a lot of money!
