    Do you join any paid survey program?

    PTC = Pay To Click. Generally this is considered a scam. Most merchants will quickly find out that you are using this model, and reverse all payments if they can or end the relationship at the least. The way it works: Merchant selling widgets buys traffic at a set rate of $1.00 / user...

    Question about my HomePage

    Just to throw out a quick suggestion, since you are doing a single product (energy supplement drink), I would advise a 1 click to buy action item on the home page, above the fold. The Acai sites put them below the fold, and I personally die a little inside when I see no "buy" action buttons...

    How do you keep all your affiliate programs & links organized?

    I am a coder, and use a pretty simple database for managing my links etc. This is something I built after the whole ebay switching networks ordeal. Now whenever I want to switch out/test merchants or promotions it is pretty systematic. Basically if you are a coder/have a coder, they should be...

    clickbank, PayDotCom, SFI,etc

    Just to throw it out there, If you have a system in place that is generating a steady return, stick with it for 80 or 90% of your time. You can dabble in other areas to take care of your boredom or need for mental stimulation and you will come across other ways to make some returns. I...

    Great Business - But Could It All Be Lost?

    If your company is doing well, generating enough to justify it, you should talk to an attorney. After I got married, my personal attorney (handles my will, etc), set me up so that it is passed over to her. Additionally he has documentation that relates to the business (passwords etc). My...

    Happy to be here

    Welcome to the greatest/worst business in the world! SEO isn't so bad... it is one of those things that you can learn the basics in a day, but spend years and never really master... damn all those changes by search engines! Basic rules: 1) If you think it may be shady, it is and you will regret...

    Where can I find good in-house affiliate programs like art.com?

    The best way I have found, is just by looking at sites that interest me on my hobbies. I happen to be very into Aquariums, so whenever I find a retailer online that is in the niche, provides good service/quality items, I check if they have the little "affiliate" link. If you are looking for...

    Boredom in the Affiliate Marketer world

    Well, the spree of posts is what happens when I get bored. I have a feeling this type of topic isn't something that others are going to chime in on. But I guess now is as good a time as any to update my core apps. Any apps you two wish you had? I was thinking about improving my link manager (my...

    Boredom in the Affiliate Marketer world

    So I pop on the forums here very irregularly... Sorry linda, but your site is great. I just notice every few months, I get bored out of my mind with my campaigns, blogs etc. I have a coding background so I try to get myself into solving a problem with a neat and tidy solution (such as...

    Dynamic vs Static websites

    Just from my experience... I try to use what makes sense for the program or niche. Back when the P2P lending was a bread and butter for me, I simply had 2 static pages for 2 different groups. I threw up a blog when those started making a little cash, and posted there ever 10 commissions on...

    Making Mistakes

    Oh man, I made a key mistake on my first successful move into PPC affiliate work... I over committed to a program. It was a CJ advertiser and then they just died... No payout, no way to recover. It took me over a year to get the working capital back to the point it was before, and worst part...

    HELP-new "indie" needing direction

    You won't pay in advance of a sale, but you will deal with delays in getting cash from credit card processors, etc. You may need to pay before you have received the cash from them. Also, many netwroks require a deposit by the merchant to cover payments. Yup. Atleast with me, I have told...

    HELP-new "indie" needing direction

    Sorry, responded before your last post. It doesn't matter what networks. All affiliates that I work with have accounts with all of them. You don't hire an affiliate manager and make their year. You generally pay them based on results (from what I understand). Finding an affiliate manager...

    HELP-new "indie" needing direction

    Take her up on the free call. Just know that even affiliate marketing takes money to get started. You will need cash for: 1) Paying affiliates (you should have a wad ready pre-sales) 2) Custom landing pages 3) High quality hosting (Pages need to load fast) 4) Paying your Affiliate...

    HELP-new "indie" needing direction

    Yeah, CJ, Pepperjam, Linkshare, Advaliant etc all bring a bit of reputation that you will pay the bill. Even with them, the hard part is getting the affiliates that can actually drive sales. (Super affiliates). The real reason is that pretty much every affiliate already has an account...
