Step-by-step blueprint for building a program

I've been tasked with launching a brand-new affiliate network for our direct-to-consumer store from scratch. I understand the general concept, but I have no idea how to actually build the infrastructure, recruit the right publishers, and set up tracking rules without making costly mistakes. Is there a complete, step-by-step blueprint I can follow?
