Every couple of years there is a new marketing craze that just takes over, and is marketed every where. Years ago it was banner ads with games, to make the user click. Then it was email submits… now it’s the flog craze. A “flog” is a fake blog that is created to sell a product…
Last month I first wrote about the Direct Agents & Vista Print Dream Getaway. I thought this was a really creative contest because it leveled out the playing field for affiliates looking to win a great prize. No longer would you have to focus on competing against the monster affiliates on the network, but only…
The competition for affiliate networks is now bigger than ever. This doesn’t seem to be a problem for Affiliate.com (formerly CPA Empire, now part of Media Breakaway), as they have been in the game since 2001. Media Breakaway is actually a lot more than just an affiliate network, they literally have their hands in everything,…
I’ve been working with Unique Blog Designs for a couple years now, and am very excited about their latest work, the Affiliate Theme. After talking with Nate and the rest of the team, they’ve been telling me about the “Affiliate Theme” for quite a while now, and I’ve anxiously been awaiting to get my hands…
It’s no surprise that millions upon millions of dollars have been made off of the latest acai berry craze. No matter where you go online, you see those “One Simple Rule: OBEY” ads and the weight loss banners that are wide spread across nearly all sites. If nothing else, this in itself just proves how…
Many many argue, but personally, I feel affiliate marketing is recession proof. No matter if banks, the stock market or even the world economy as a whole is getting hit, there is always somewhere for you to adapt in the affiliate marketing space and still make money. With that being said, one of the toughest…
I’ve been keeping an eye on T3 Leads over the past couple of months, as I have seen them reviewed on many other blogs, and they requested a review of their own for this blog. Unlike other networks that have a huge collection of CPA offers, T3 Leads focuses on lead transactions. You are paid…
Once again, PepperJam Network is in the news for going beyond what the traditional affiliate network has to offer. Their latest release is a new store builder for affiliates to create quick and efficient affiliate stores/sites. How many times have you wanted to create a small site with products for an specific site, but didn’t…
The first ever Affiliate Summit Social Media was held yesterday in NY. Instead of the usual three day conference we are used to, this conference was a one day event. NY decided to shut down the Holland Tunnel for repaving along with one of the Lincoln Tunnels into the city.. so unfortunately I missed the…
So far IzeaFest has been pretty cool… I’m meeting up with a lot of new people and the majority of attendees here are bloggers. I’m also meeting up with a bunch of friends as usualy, many of which have been asking “when are you speaking?“… for this conference, I’m just networking and enjoying the vacation….
Earlier in the year I was fortunate enough to be able to attend Elite Retreat in San Francisco, CA. The event was excellent and I got to meet some great new people like Brian Clark, Aaron Wall , Guy Kawasaki and many others. In addition to Elite Retreat, I was also able to “visit” Google…
One of the best advantages to using Facebook Ads is their ability to send you a massive amount of traffic in a short period of time. Once you have some ads running with a decent click through rate, you can easily throw a bunch of new ads up to see what converts best. A couple…
What if you have a product that you really like and want to tell others about it, or even create a web site around it and attempt to try and earn a few dollars in the process. The first thing you would do, would be to visit their web site and see if they have…
A few days ago I wrote a post on “Are Zip and Email Offers Worth It?“… to follow up to that post, I went to check out a couple of the latest email/zip offers out there. What I wanted to look at, was what they now require of a new subscriber to receive their prize….
Once again, MarketLeverage is holding a mega promotion for the network and giving away more sweet prizes. I’m not big on blog post contests or promotions, but I actually make good coin with MarketLeverage, so I’m alright with spreading the word on them. There are a couple other promotions going on out there, but I…
